SSID Naming Conventions

The default SSID for VAP0 is “ciscosb”. For all other VAPs, the default SSID is “Virtual Access Point x” where ‘x’ is the VAP number in the range of 1 to 4 for the WAP121 and 1 to 8 for the WAP321.The SSIDs for all VAPs can be configured to other values.

The SSID can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry from 2 to 32 characters. The printable characters plus the space (ASCII 0x20) are allowed, but these six characters are not:

?, ", $, [, \, ], and +.

The allowable characters are:

ASCII 0x20, 0x21, 0x23, 0x25 through 0x2A, 0x2C through 0x3E, 0x40 through 0x5A, 0x5E through 0x7E.

In addition, these three characters cannot be the first character:

!, #, and ; (ASCII 0x21, 0x23, and 0x3B, respectively).

Trailing and leading spaces (ASCII 0x20) are not permitted.

NOTE     This means that spaces are allowed within the SSID, but not as the first or last character, and the period “.” (ASCII 0x2E) is also allowed.
