About SSIDs

An SSID is an alphanumeric string that identifies a wireless or guest network. For information about adding wireless networks, see Configure a Standard Wireless Network (SSID).

The SSID table displays the following information about your network SSIDs:

• SSID Name: The name assigned to an SSID when it was created. This is the name that APs advertise in beacons (unless the SSID is in stealth mode) and respond to during client probes.
• SSID Broadcast Name: This name can be the same as the SSID Name.
• Access Security: The method that the SSID uses to secure network access.
• VLAN: The VLAN to which this SSID is assigned.
• Default User Profile: The user profile that is assigned to this SSID.
• Used By: Displays the number of APs and network policies that use this SSID. Hover over any non-zero number to see details.
