HESSID-Type

Specify the HESSID to be transmitted by the device to the APs for the homogeneous ESS.

A homogeneous ESS is defined as a group of a specific number of APs, which all belong to the same network. The MAC address of a connected AP (its BSSID) or the MAC address of the WLC serves as a globally unique identifier (HESSID). The SSID can not be used as an identifier in this case, because different network service providers can have the same SSID assigned in a hotspot zone, e.g., by common names such as "HOTSPOT".

SNMP ID:
2.37.1.17.1.7
