identify a wireless network:

● The Network Name or Service Set Identifier (SSID)—Identifies a wireless

network. All wireless devices on the network must use the same SSID.

● Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID)—A special case of SSID used to identify

a wireless network that includes access points.

● Independent Basic Service Set Identifier (IBSSID)—A special case of SSID used

to identify a network of wireless computers configured to communicate directly with

one another without using an access point.

● Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID)—A unique identifier for each wireless device.

The BSSID is the Ethernet MAC address of the device.

● Broadcast SSID—An access point can respond to computers sending probe packets

with the broadcast SSID. If this feature is enabled on the access point, any wireless

user can associate with the access point by using a blank (null) SSID.
