| Can anybody explain why you would want to disable aironet extensions to ensure that clients cannot get the name of the AP? According to the IOS config guide aironet extensions are responsible for world mode, MIC and limiting power on associated clients, so I’m not sure how that fits in the solutions guide. I would think no cdp enable would take care of ensuring clients cannot get the name of the AP. |
CDP is a completely different mechanism from the additional CCX IEs (0x85) included in wireless AP beacons and probe responses. Included in these additional IEs is the AP name. Tools that pick up the AP name (Intel wireless client drivers, site survey tools) are picking up on this IE in the beacons and probe responses.
P.S. Kara, your name seemed familiar to me - I now realize we briefly worked together on a customer issue about a year ago.
