In the WLAN configuration, what is the ESSID value?

• A. CorpNet
• B. CorpNet Wireless
• C. CorpNetESSID
• D. CorpNetSSID

Answer: (A)

The ESSID is the network name broadcast by the wireless access point, which devices use to identify and connect to a specific WLAN. In this setup, the network has been configured with the name CorpNet, so the ESSID must be CorpNet to match what clients will see and connect to. The other options would only be correct if the AP were actually configured with those exact names, or if the literal words ESSID or SSID were used as the network name, which isn’t the case here. In short, you connect by matching the device’s ESSID to the AP’s configured network name, which is CorpNet in this scenario.
