Pfsense and Cisco Aironet 1231G?
-
Hi!
I'm moving to a new apartment pretty soon and i'm looking for a nice AP to use with Pfsense (the pfsense machine will be in a more or less locked server room at the apartment).
I have the opportunity to test a Cisco Aironet 1231G through a friend. He says it should work perfectly with Pfsense. I have some questions i hope to get some answers first though:
- Since this device only got 1 interface, what's the easiest way to make it use several VLANs for diffrent SSIDs?
- Is it fairly easy to invest in more of these devices to make the coverage better?
- Is using a Cisco Aironet 1200 series AP with Pfsense a good idea from the beginning?
Thanks for any input.

This is more Cisco site question, but i can answer some
In cisco you can use vlans and you can assign SSID/VLAN to have multiple wireless networks. In some very rare occassions you can assign multiple SSID's / VLAN
just make sure, that Fastethernet0 is in trunk mode and vlan's are tagged except webgui(management) vlan, because AP's can't handle VLAN tagged management when using webgui.
KR, soon to be CCNA-Wireless(i hope)
EDIT: Some more help
