A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel. Each instance must have an SSID, and may optionally be correlated to a VLAN. Wireless LANs can be arranged into hierarchical groups, and each may be associated with a particular tenant.
|
A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel, identified by its SSID and authentication parameters. Wireless [interfaces](../dcim/interface.md) can be associated with wireless LANs to model multi-acess wireless segments.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An interface may be attached to multiple wireless LANs, provided they are all operating on the same channel. Only wireless interfaces may be attached to wireless LANs.
|
## Fields
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Each wireless LAN may have authentication attributes associated with it, including:
|
### SSID
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Authentication type
|
The service set identifier (SSID) for the wireless network.
|
||||||
* Cipher
|
|
||||||
* Pre-shared key
|
### Group
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The [wireless LAN group](./wirelesslangroup.md) to which this wireless LAN is assigned (if any).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### VLAN
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each wireless LAN can optionally be mapped to a [VLAN](../ipam/vlan.md), to model a bridge between wired and wireless segments.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Authentication Type
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The type of wireless authentication in use. Options include:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Open
|
||||||
|
* WEP
|
||||||
|
* WPA Personal (PSK)
|
||||||
|
* WPA Enterprise
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Authentication Cipher
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The security cipher used to apply wireless authentication. Options include:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Auto (automatic)
|
||||||
|
* TKIP
|
||||||
|
* AES
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Pre-Shared Key
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The security key configured on each client to grant access to the secured wireless LAN. This applies only to certain authentication types.

Wireless LAN groups can be used to organize and classify wireless LANs. These groups are hierarchical: groups can be nested within parent groups. However, each wireless LAN may assigned only to one group.

Wireless LAN groups can be used to organize and classify [wireless LANs](./wirelesslan.md). These groups are hierarchical: groups can be nested within parent groups. However, each wireless LAN may be assigned only to one group.

## Fields
|

|
### Parent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The parent wireless LAN group (if any).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Name
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A unique human-friendly name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Slug
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A unique URL-friendly identifier. (This value can be used for filtering.)

A wireless link represents a connection between exactly two wireless interfaces. It may optionally be assigned an SSID and a description. It may also have a status assigned to it, similar to the cable model. Each wireless link may also be assigned to a particular tenant.

A wireless link represents a connection between exactly two wireless interfaces. Unlike a [wireless LAN](./wirelesslan.md), which permit an arbitrary number of client associations, wireless links are used to model point-to-point wireless connections.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Each wireless link may have authentication attributes associated with it, including:
|
## Fields
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Authentication type
|
### Interfaces
|
||||||
* Cipher
|
|
||||||
* Pre-shared key
|
Select two interfaces: One for side A and one for side B. (Both must be wireless interfaces.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Status
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The operational status of the link. Options include:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Connected
|
||||||
|
* Planned
|
||||||
|
* Decommissioning
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### SSID
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The service set identifier (SSID) for the wireless link (optional).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Authentication Type
|
||||||

The type of wireless authentication in use. Options include:
