Explanation
An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a case-sensitive text string used to name and identify a wireless network.
Common mistakes.
- A. An SSID identifies a WLAN (wireless network), not necessarily an individual access point, as multiple APs can broadcast the same SSID.
- B. The SSID is the network name itself; a separate password or passphrase is used for authentication to connect to an access point.
- C. While SSIDs are part of network security configuration, they do not inherently 'use policies' to prevent unauthorized users; security protocols like WPA2/3, along with authentication, manage access control.
