ITPEC IP October 2021 — Question 32 of 100

An SSID is a character string that identifies a wireless LAN. Access points advertise or use the SSID as the network name, and clients select the intended WLAN by that identifier.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- the access point's MAC address is a separate hardware-level identifier, often called a BSSID in this context

- the radio channel specifies which frequency range is used

- the default gateway's IP address identifies the router interface used to leave the subnet

Key rule: SSID stands for Service Set Identifier and serves as the human-recognizable name of a Wi-Fi network.
