Same SSID on both radios using a Wireless Controller

I am using a WC7500 with WAC720 and WAC730 APs, and am unable to create the same SSID on both radios.

 

Is this possible? 

 

Yes I am aware that this product is EOL, but this is possible using the APs as standalone or in Ensemble and is also possible in most other controller based solutions I have worked with, such as Ruckus and Ubiquiti.

 

If I try this on the WC7500 using basic or advanced profiles, with band steering enabled and disabled, it will not allow me to create the SSID because it is already created on the other radio.

 

Am I missing something? This seems like a pretty basic and common configuration.

Model: WAC720|2x2 Wireless-AC Access Points, WAC730|3x3 Wireless-AC Access Points, WC7520|ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller, WC7600|ProSafe Wireless Controller

OK, ignore this. Being a bonehead.

 

It's the name of the profile not the SSID it has issues with being the same.

 

Problem sorted.
