Hide SSID in AP

hi all,

sorry for a noob question, i'm still learning wireless.

i've searched cisco and CSC on how to disable broadcasting of SSID.

i have multiple SSID on my AP.

is it normal to still see the SSID on the sh dot11 bssid command even though i disabled its broadcast?

AP(config)#dot11 ssid 3333
AP(config-ssid)#no guest-mode
AP(config-ssid)#do sh dot11 bssid
Interface      BSSID         Guest SSID
Dot11Radio0   003a.9910.xxxx Yes 1111
Dot11Radio0   003a.9910.yyyy Yes 2222
Dot11Radio0   003a.9910.zzzz Yes 3333

You forgot your radios:

Leo,

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

I don't understand your question. The command I've responded above is for an autonomous IOS. Based on the "AP#" prompt, I'm suspecting John's AP is operating in autonomous.

hi guys,thanks for your input

hi guys,

thanks for your input!

yes, it's for an autonomous wap and i've figured it out.

the command should be 'no mbssid guest-mode' under ssid subcommad:

AP(config)#dot11 ssid 3333
AP(config-ssid)#no mbssid guest-mode
