SSID

To associate, all bridges, access points, workgroup bridges, or client devices must use the same SSID.
The bridge installation mode SSID is autoinstall and the normal mode default SSID is tsunami. You
should verify that the SSID value shown on the Express Setup page is the same for all bridges, access
points, workgroup bridges, or client devices. You should also verify that the bridges or access points are
configured for the proper network role; only one bridge can be configured as the root bridge and only
one access point can be configured as a root access point.
Note Access points and bridges are not designed to associate with each other. However, a workgroup bridge
can associate to either a Cisco Aironet access point or a Cisco Aironet bridge.
Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA or later, there is no default SSID. You must configure an SSID and
enable the radio interface to communicate with other wireless devices.
