# Wireless LANs
|
|
|
|
|
|
-A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel. Each instance must have an SSID, and may optionally be correlated to a VLAN. Wireless LANs can be arranged into hierarchical groups, and each may be associated with a particular tenant.
|
|
|
+A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel, identified by its SSID and authentication parameters. Wireless [interfaces](../dcim/interface.md) can be associated with wireless LANs to model multi-acess wireless segments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-An interface may be attached to multiple wireless LANs, provided they are all operating on the same channel. Only wireless interfaces may be attached to wireless LANs.
|
|
|
