ssid
ssid
Use the ssid interface configuration command to assign a globally configured SSID to a radio interface.
Use the no form of the command to remove an SSID from a radio interface.
[no] ssid ssid-string
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, you can configure SSIDs globally or for a specific radio interface, but
all SSIDs are stored globally. After you use the dot11 ssid global interface command to create an SSID,
you use the ssid command to assign the SSID to a specific interface.
Syntax Description
Defaults On access points, the factory default SSID is tsunami. On bridges, the default SSID is autoinstall.
Command Modes Configuration interface
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to specify a unique SSID for your wireless network. Several access points on a
network, or subnetwork, can share an SSID. The no form of the command removes the SSID, which
inhibits clients that use that SSID from associating with the access point.
Examples This example shows how to:
• Create an SSID in global configuration mode
• Configure the SSID for RADIUS accounting
• Set the maximum number of client devices that can associate using this SSID to 15
• Assign the SSID to a VLAN
• Assign the SSID to a radio interface
