Which one of the following is used to uniquely identify an AP and the basic service set it maintains with its associated wireless clients?
- SSID
- BSSID
- Ethernet MAC address
- Radio MAC address
Explanation: The AP at the heart of a BSS or cell identifies itself (and the BSS) with a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID). It also uses an SSID to identify the wireless network, but that is not unique to the AP or BSS. Finally, the radio MAC address is used as the basis for the BSSID value, but the value can be altered to form the BSSID for each SSID that the AP supports.
