SSID, BSSID, ESSID, IBSS
SSID (Service Set Identifier)
The name of the access point that it is broadcasting (Beaconing)
Change it from the default SSID
Makes it easier to locate the correct AP (Access Point) in an area with multiple AP
BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier)
This is the MAC address of the AP
The first 6 hexadecimal characters identify the manufacturer
The second 6 hexadecimal characters are the serial number
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier)
Multiple SSIDs broadcasting the same name in an organization.
This is normally achieved through the use of a wireless controller
This makes it easier for employees as they move through a large office or building, that way they are still connected to the same SSID without any user intervention.
IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set)
This is using ad hoc topology, peer-to-peer
No access point is used to connect the devices
