So, I had a few spare minutes, and decided to take a look at my wireless network for a few minutes with inSSIDer (metageek.com), and noticed something peculiar.
Now it's bugging me to no end, and though I'm sure it's just ignorance on my part, I just can't seem to find an answer. I've got two SSIDs on each WAP, and inSSIDer shows that they have different MAC addresses. InSSIDer shows that the production SSID has a MAC address of 0022.0c24.4cd0 However, inSSIDer shows that the guest VLAN has a MAC address of 0022.0c24.4cd1. The production SSID is assigned to vlan 115 and int dot11radio 0.115 The guest SSID is assigned to vlan 120 and int dot11radio 0.120 When I telnet to the WAP, 'sho int' in all of its variations shows only 0022.0c24.4cd0, including 'sho int', 'sho int dot11radio 0' and 'sho int dot11radio 0.115' and 'sho int dot11radio 0.120'. So, what seems to be happening (my best guess based on current observation) is that the WAP uses the base MAC address for the first SSID, and incrementing the base MAC address for the radio for each new SSID. But, I can't find that documented anywhere, and I'd prefer to know this for sure. Does anyone have knowledge of this corner of networking and can enlighten me, or point me to docs on this?
