Configuration Guide Configuring FAT APs
Configuring an SSID
For a FAT-AP to provide WLAN service, you must configure an SSID. Run the ssid command to configure the SSID of
a specified WLAN.
If there are no special requirements, you can perform this configuration in the WLAN global configuration mode of the
AP equipment.
ssid-string: specifies an SSID string.
Configuring Whether to Broadcast SSIDs
Optional.
If there are no special requirementsIf there are no special requirements, you can perform this configuration in the WLAN
configuration mode of the AP equipment.
If it is set to broadcast SSIDs, the AP regularly broadcasts SSID information. STAs use WNICs to search for the SSIDs
and discover the networks. If it is set not to broadcast SSIDs, the AP does not regularly broadcast SSID information.
STAs cannot find the SSIDs by using WNICs. In this case, SSIDs must be manually set on the STAs so that they can
access the corresponding network.
broadcast-ssid
no broadcast-ssid
no: specifies whether to broadcast SSIDs.
Configuring the Multicast Rate
Optional.
If there are no special requirementsIf there are no special requirements, you can perform this configuration in the WLAN
configuration mode of the AP equipment.
The higher the multicast rate, the higher the network performance, the higher requirement for the signal-noise ratio, and
the higher the multicast packet loss ratio of wireless terminals. On the other hand, the lower the multicast rate, the lower
