A civic survey shows the same SSID on two channels with different BSSIDs. How should an assessor read that multi-AP ESS pattern?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One friendly name, two BSSIDs, two channels—that is usually multiple APs in the same ESS. Write down each radio’s identity; do not pretend it is one magical interface.
Full Explanation
An ESS commonly advertises one SSID across multiple AP radios, each with its own BSSID and often different channels. Assessors should inventory every BSSID/channel pair relevant to scope rather than collapsing them into a single undocumented target. Multi-BSSID SSIDs are normal enterprise/municipal designs and are not automatically evil twins, nor are channels irrelevant to roaming clients.
