Disable Broadcast Ssid

The following scenario shows how to disable SSID broadcasting which makes the device to not announce the SSID in the beacon associated to the configured network.

Disable SSID broadcasting

Description

In this example, a WLAN interface will be created on top of the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio module in access-point mode. Then, SSID broadcasting will be disabled be mean of the disable-broadcast-ssid command.

Scenario

Example 1

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set controllers wlan radios wifi1 band 2.4GHz
set controllers wlan radios wifi1 channel 1
set interfaces bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan4 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan4 phy wifi1
set interfaces wlan wlan4 type access-point security akm none
set interfaces wlan wlan4 type access-point ssid network_2.4GHz

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces wlan wlan4 type access-point disable-broadcast-ssid

Example 2

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set controllers wlan installation indoor
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 band 5GHz
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 channel 36
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 bandwidth 80MHz
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 mode 802.11n
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 mode 802.11ac
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 mode 802.11ax
set interfaces bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan1 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan1 phy wifi0
set interfaces wlan wlan1 type access-point security akm none
set interfaces wlan wlan1 type access-point ssid network_5GHz

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces wlan wlan1 type access-point disable-broadcast-ssid
