To import an AP list from a file, use these steps:

In the Download/Backup Trusted AP List area, select Download (PC to AP).

Click Browse and choose the file to import.

The file that you import must be a plain-text file with a .txt or .cfg extension. Entries 
in the file are MAC addresses in hexadecimal format with each octet separated by 
colons, for example 00:11:22:33:44:55. You must separate entries with a single 
space. For the AP to accept the file, it must contain only MAC addresses.

Choose whether to replace the existing Trusted AP List or add the entries in the 
imported file to the Trusted AP List.

a. Select Replace to import the list and replace the contents of the Known AP 

List.

b. Select Merge to import the list and add the APs in the imported file to the APs 

currently shown in the Known AP List.

Click Save.

When the import is complete, the screen refreshes and the MAC addresses of the 
APs in the imported file appear in the Known AP List.

Virtual Access Points (VAPs) segment the wireless LAN into multiple broadcast 
domains that are the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. VAPs simulate 
multiple access points in one physical WAP device. The WAP device supports up 
to 16 VAPs. 

Each VAP can be independently enabled or disabled, with the exception of VAP0. 
VAP0 is the physical radio interface and remains enabled as long as the radio is 
enabled. To disable operation of VAP0, the radio itself must be disabled. 

Each VAP is identified by a user-configured Service Set Identifier (SSID). Multiple 
VAPs cannot have the same SSID name. SSID broadcasts can be enabled or 
disabled independently on each VAP. SSID broadcast is enabled by default. 

The default SSID for VAP0 is ciscosb. Every additional VAP created has a blank 
SSID name. The SSIDs for all VAPs can be configured to other values.
