ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 34
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 34 of 100
An SSID is a character string used to identify a wireless LAN. Access points advertise or otherwise use the service set identifier so client devices can distinguish the intended Wi-Fi network from other networks in range.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- the access point's MAC address is a hardware-layer identifier, often represented by a BSSID
- the radio channel specifies a frequency range used for transmission
- the gateway IP address identifies a network-layer routing interface
Key rule: The SSID is the Wi-Fi network name; it is separate from the access point's MAC address, channel, and IP configuration.
