820 ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide
Security Commands
configure security-profile ssid-in-beacon
configure security-profile <name> ssid-in-beacon {on | off}
Description
Establishes whether the service set identifier (SSID) is advertised in the beacon frame.
Syntax Description
Default
On.
Usage Guidelines
The beacon turns on whether the SSID is published in the beacon or not. If you set this command to off,
then the beacon does not contain the SSID and the client must know the SSID before it can associate.
Sniffing on the beacon shows an empty SSID.
Configuration changes take effect immediately and are propagated to all ports sharing the named
profile. If the command fails, none of the changes is propagated to any of the ports.
Examples
The following command configures the security profile secure1 not to publish the SSID in the beacon:
configure security-profile secure1 ssid-in-beacon off
