Network Fundamentals

What are the two functions of SSIDs?

Choose two
  • A uses the maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters
  • B controls the speed of the Wi-Fi network
  • C used exclusively with controller-based Wi-Fi networks
  • D supports a single access point
  • E broadcasts by default
Explanation

An SSID is the identifier that names an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. It is a character string with a maximum length of 32 characters, and it is typically advertised by access points by default in beacon frames so clients can discover the wireless network. SSIDs do not determine link speed, are not limited to controller-based deployments, and are not restricted to only one access point.
