Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

An SSID specifies a wireless network. When you search for available wireless networks on your wireless terminal, SSIDs are displayed to identify the available wireless networks.

Precautions

When you configure an SSID containing Chinese characters, do not delete characters by pressing the Delete button if you want to modify the SSID that has been entered. Otherwise, the SSID will contain garbled characters after the configuration. In this case, run the ssid command to reconfigure the SSID.

Example

# Set the SSID to wlan-net in the SSID profile ssid1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ssid-profile name ssid1
[HUAWEI-wlan-ssid-prof-ssid1] ssid wlan-net
