MSM422 broadcasting Open SSID

  • 1.  MSM422 broadcasting Open SSID

    Posted Apr 23, 2019 04:45 PM

    We have 8 MSM422 and I have no problems with the AP perfomance but there is an open SSID from the same network. Let me be more clear:

    My SSID is Mynetwork and is secured with password but also I have a open SSID from Mynetwork and it have access to my network files and to the Internet.

    I have not found any option where to disable this open SSID.

    Anyone have any idea?

    Thanks in advance

    Luis

    Hello, 

    If I am assuming that the APs are running in autonomous mode:

    In the main menu of the AP GUI go to VSC (Virtual Service Communities). You should see a list of all configured SSIDs. Klick on the name of the SSID you want to disable. A menu with the title Add/Edit Virtual Service Community will be opened. In this menu search for the sub-menu "Virtual AP" and remove the checkmark from the check box, This will disable the SSID.

    If you want to remove the SSID configuration completely at the botton of the menu there should be a delete button,

    In controlled mode it is slighly different because here you have the concept of AP groups and more steps may be needed. I will not go into detail but I think disabling the Virtual AP will do the same.
