I was doing some research in my Lab the other day and I've noticed that my Instant 105 appears to be broadcasting a hidden SSID using
wpa-psk-tkip ? Has anyone else seen this? I have 0 configuration relating to this and I can see this being broadcast from other controllers. Here's what I've pulled from the logs from both the Instant and the 620 controller.
Here is the SSID in question
iwconfig output for aruba000
----------------------------
aruba000 IEEE 802.11na ESSID:"b73375eab4fa00c6290c67c905e2606"

I can see it being advertised when checking ARM neighbours on a nearby controller

Any ideas what this hidden SSID is?
