You would like to allow your office computers to access your wireless network, but you would like to hide the wireless network name from appearing on other wireless-enabled devices. What wireless network security feature can limit the visibility of your network name to other wireless systems?
A) Static IP addressing
B) SSID broadcast suppression
C) MAC filtering
D) WPA encryption
E) Wear one of those Brady Bunch tiki necklaces
The answer: B) SSID broadcast suppression
The SSID of a wireless network is broadcast automatically to make it easier for other devices to automatically find the wireless network. If you suppress the SSID, you’ll be relatively invisible to wireless devices but you’ll have to manually configure all of your wireless systems to find and connect to the network.
