Usage Guidelines

In certain scenarios, you can run the advertise-ap-name enable command to enable Beacon frames to carry the AP name. In this way, you can quickly locate and identify APs by identifying the AP name carried in an SSID or display the AP name on STAs that can receive and resolve the host name carried in SSIDs of multiple APs.

Example

# Enable Beacon frames to carry the AP name in the SSID profile ssid1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan 
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ssid-profile name ssid1
[HUAWEI-wlan-ssid-prof-ssid1] advertise-ap-name enable
