QuestionQ510

Network Fundamentals

What is a characteristic of an SSID in wireless networks?

  • A eliminates network piggybacking
  • B prompts a user for a login ID
  • C broadcasts a beacon signal to announce its presence by default
  • D must include a combination of letters and numbers
Explanation

An SSID is the identifier for a wireless LAN, and wireless access points normally advertise that network name in beacon frames by default so clients can discover the network. It is not a login prompt, it does not by itself prevent unauthorized use, and there is no requirement that it contain both letters and numbers.
