You are responsible for the wireless network at your company. You have been asked to create SSID’s
for wireless routers. What are the limits
on an SSID?Each correct Answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

A.
It is not case sensitive.

B.
It must be 32 or fewer characters long.

C.
It can only contain letters, not numbers.

D.
It is case sensitive.

E.
It must be 64 or viewer characters long.

Explanation:
Answer An SSID can be a maximum of 32 characters long and is case sensitive.
What is SSID? SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. It is used to identify a wireless network. SSIDs are
case sensitive text strings and have a maximum length of 32 characters. All wireless devices on a
wireless network must have the same SSID in order to communicate with each other.
The SSID on computers and the devices in WLAN can be set manually and automatically. Configuring
the same SSID as that of the other Wireless Access Points (WAPs) of other networks will create a
conflict.

A network administrator often uses a public SSID that is set on the access point. The access point
broadcasts SSID to all wireless devices within its range. Some newer wireless access points have the
ability to disable the automatic SSID broadcast feature in order to improve network security.
Answer options E and A are correct. The max length is 32 characters, not 64 and SSID is case
sensitive.
Answer option is incorrect. An SSID can contain numbers and letters.
