Hi, I need to stop broadcasting my ssid as its being reported that in our office if a Wi-Fi scan was done with any handheld device our ssid is visible on it. The requirement is to stop that. Can you please suggest me how can i do that on a Cisco 1200 Series access point?

Using GUI for the AP,You can disable SSID from broadcasting.If you go to the SSID Manager page, there will be a selection for "Guest Mode" which is probably checked. Just un-check "Guest Mode" and this will stop the SSID from being broadcasted.

That option is already unchecked. What else needs to be done?

Hi,

you could access via CLI and post the show running?

you have to disable "guest mode" on the ssid.

thanks

This is the sample configuration. We have recently shipped 6 access points with this type of configuration to one of our offices in Asia and they complain that with these access-points the ssid is visible if they scan with any Wi-Fi device and with the previous existing access-points in the office its not visible. We compared the configuration to be same for all access points. Any idea whats the problem???

Thanks
