In the Setup > General page, the card WiFi Service Options provide additional optional configuration and options that can be enabled on the account.
Under the VLAN Assignment section you can configure the default option for assigning VLANs to Tenants.
The options are:
Auto: Cusna automatically assign VLANs to each new Tenant in the pool 2000-4000 (further VLANs can be enabled on demand by Cusna support team).
Manual: the user can assign a unique VLAN to the Tenant while creating it
None: VLANs are not assigned to accounts wither manually or automatically
By default, all new Cusna account are set to Auto.
This option might not available for some vendors. For example, when using Meraki you need to setup Network Policies in the Integration page.
In some cases, you might want your users to be able to connect with the same WiFi passphrase in all your Networks.
Some WiFi vendors allows to setup the PPSK configuration in such way that the PSKs works on multiple sites. For example, Juniper Mist has an option that allows to select if PSKs have a Site or Org level scope. In Cambium cnMAestro you can create one WLAN profile and assign it to multiple networks (AP groups).
Refer to the section related to the configuration of the WiFi vendor to get more details on how to configure the network to support this use case.
In the Setup, General page, find the option Roaming Communities.
When enabled, Cusna dynamically assigns a unique VLAN to each account in the organization. this means that there cannot be two account with the same VLAN in the same organization. When the user connect with its PSK to the WiFi of any Network, the same VLAN will be used to tag his traffic.
When Roaming community option is disabled, the automatic VLAN assignment works on per Network scope. When a new account is created, either manually or automatically via the integrations, Cusna assign a VLAN that is not used already in the Network where the account is initialized.
Once enabled, the Roaming Communities option cannot be disabled. Switching on and off this option could cause duplicate assignment of VLAN to accounts.
This options allows to enable or disable Groups management on the account. This option is available only for WiFi vendors that support Groups
This options allows to enable or disable Unit management on the account. This option is available only for WiFi vendors that support Unit based assignment of Access Points
For supported vendors only, you may also have the option to enable the ability to asign different ports of the same Access Point in the Unit to different Accounts. To enable this capability you need to turn on the option Assign individual ETH Ports to Accounts.
This option allow to define the length of the WiFi passphrase when automatically generated by the system
