Hi all,
I'm considering configuring a number of our Cisco 802.11G access points
to use dual SSIDs to accommodate two vlans. Can anyone comment on how
dual SSIDs will effect performance? I could just deploy additional
access points, but I was looking to try this first as it would be a free
solution.
Thanks!

No problems on ours. I'm sure the AP does more work to broadcast
multiple SSIDs, but we've 4 on some of ours, and we've not noticed any
issues.
We've 1231G, 1242AG, 1142N, all running autonomous. I presume you're
able to run a vlan out to the AP per ssid.
If anything,IMHO, it'd be better to run multiple SSIDs on one set of
radios in a space, so you don't have interference issues.
