What ID is typically mapped to an AP's MAC address if a single BSS is implemented?
In a wireless network, a Basic Service Set (BSS) is a set of all stations that can communicate with each other. Each BSS is identified by a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID), which is typically the MAC address of the access point (AP) that is creating the BSS. Therefore, the ID that is typically mapped to an AP's MAC address if a single BSS is implemented is the BSSID.
cwna BOOK, pg 205/206 SSID identifies the service set, which may extend across multiple BSSs, the BSSID is unique to each BSS in an ESS, or to each independent BSS.
