interface Dot11Radio0
Enter configuration for the access point's radio, where SSIDs are bound and the channel and cipher are set.
Example
AP-Lobby(config)# interface Dot11Radio0
AP-Lobby(config-if)#The radio is not the wired port: GigabitEthernet0 is the cable to the switch, Dot11Radio0 is the air side, and 'ssid', 'channel' and 'encryption' are refused on GigabitEthernet0. Real autonomous APs ship the radio shut and want the cipher set before a WPA SSID is bound. The lab's radio ships up and does not check, so follow the real order anyway: encryption, ssid, no shutdown.
Don't just read it — type interface Dot11Radio0 in a real network simulator in your browser and watch it take effect. No install, no account needed to start.
