200-301 Exam - Question 116


What are two characteristics of an SSID? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BCDE

An SSID can be at most 32 characters long, identifying the human-readable name of the wireless network. It can also be configured to be either hidden or broadcast in a WLAN, which means it will not be included in the beacon frames if hidden or be visible to wireless devices if broadcast.

Agree with B, E https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/12-2_15_JA/configuration/guide/o13ssid.html States they contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters which supports B. States multiple access points can use the same SSID so C is wrong. The OCG on page 681 explains that an SSID can be broadcast or hidden by checking the "Broadcast SSID" checkbox.

Agree with @MohammedRafiq B. It is at most 32 characters long. >> No, not 32 characters long. The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric, case-sensitive, characters. I think CE is correct. C. It uniquely identifies an access point in a WLAN (Other question) E. It can be hidden or broadcast in a WLAN

B. It is at most 32 characters long: An SSID has a maximum length of 32 characters. It is the human-readable name that identifies a wireless network. E. It can be hidden or broadcast in a WLAN: An SSID can be configured to be hidden, which means it will not be included in the beacon frames broadcast by the access point. Alternatively, it can be broadcast, making it visible to wireless devices. So, the correct answers are B and E.

B E B at most is correct. It cannot be longer,... But can be shorter. E yes it can be shown and hidden. All other answers make no sense. Especially not the identifier of an accesspoint. An SSID can live on many AP's at once.

B is definitely a correct answer. But I just took a "Shot In The Dark" (Survivor reference) on the second option. I don't know though. Who's ready for Survivor 45? gg good day Go Dodgers

C. It uniquely identifies an access point in a WLAN - No, the SSID identifies the WLAN network, not the individual AP. The SSID (Service Set Identifier) uniquely identifies a wireless network (WLAN), not an individual access point (AP). Each WLAN has its own SSID, which is broadcasted by APs to allow clients to identify and connect to the network.

I wouldn't pick C. I have two Asus APs for my SOHO that uses the same SSID, but have different BSSID (literally the MAC addresses); one is set up as a normal router, the other as a backhauled extender (not repeater) using two non-overlapping channels. We have the same setup at work as well. We have multiple repeaters in few different floors that use the same SSID. I wouldn't say secure either. We have guest SSID on every floor as well, and that one has no filter unlike our corporate AP. I think I would go with B and E.
