Module: CABH-PS-DEV-MIB
OID (symbolic): CABH-PS-DEV-MIB::cabhPsDev802dot11BaseAdvertiseSSID
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.4.1.1.6.2.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TruthValue
Access: read-write
Description: When set to false(2) the PS does not advertise the BSS SSID in a proprietary manner. To avoid interoperability problems and service disruption it is RECOMMENDED to set this object always to true. This feature does not provide any security, and does not prevent Wireless Stations to obtain the SSID by sniffing frames from other stations in the ESS. If the device does not support the feature of turning on/off the SSID advertisement, this object always reports 'true(1)' and reports the error 'wrongValue' when set to 'false(2).
What is cabhPsDev802dot11BaseAdvertiseSSID?
This object controls whether the Portal Server broadcasts the wireless network SSID in beacon frames. Setting it to false hides the SSID, though this provides no real security benefit and can cause interoperability issues.
