Network Fundamentals

What are two characteristics of an SSID?

Choose two
  • A It uniquely identifies a client in a WLAN.
  • B It is at most 32 characters long
  • C It uniquely identifies an access point in a WLAN
  • D It provides secured access to a WLAN.
  • E It can be hidden or broadcast in a WLAN.
Explanation

An SSID is the network name for an IEEE 802.11 WLAN, not a unique identifier for a client or for a single access point. Valid SSIDs are up to 32 characters long, and WLANs may either broadcast the SSID or configure it to be hidden from normal beacon advertisement. Security is provided by wireless authentication and encryption methods, not by the SSID itself.
