Technically, there is a performance impact (your AP will have to perform more beacons) Realistically, you won't notice a difference.
There are other solutions. What model AP's do you have? Are you using 802.1x? (Hopefully your using WPA2-Enterprise) Which RADIUS Server are you using. If you answer all those questions, we can tell you how to configure your Access Point to return a specifc VLAN per user. (It's called VSA attributes, or AV Pairs) Also called VLAN Override. https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/1003075;jsessionid=AD7499404031466DD1939E03BD4686FA.node0 On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 6:35 PM, Jesse Voigt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm considering configuring a number of our Cisco 802.11G access points > to use dual SSIDs to accommodate two vlans.
