information-element ssidl (SSID configuration mode)

Use the information-element ssidl SSID configuration command to designate an SSID for inclusion in

an SSIDL information element (IE) that the access point includes in beacons. When you designate an

SSID to be included in an SSIDL IE, client devices detect that the SSID is available, and they also detect

the security settings required to associate using that SSID.
