hs-hessid

Use the hs-hessid command from the hotspot context to configure the hotspot ANQP HESSID. A single SSID can be used across multiple WLANs (BSS). Therefore, the HESSID helps a client identify when the BSSID belongs to a homogenous BSS with identical configuration. Beacons with the same {HESSID, SSID} pair belong to the same WLAN. The {HESSID, SSID} pair must be unique for each WLAN. By default, the HESSID is set to the MAC address of the controller Ethernet port. Hotspots can have the same HESSID as long as the SSID is unique. If opting to configure the HESSID manually, we recommend using an AP BSSID as the HESSID.

In a mobility domain, manually configure the HESSID to a unique value, differentiating it from the value used in the controller's WLAN.
