Network Configuration
Figure 3-68: Network Passpoint Profile # Page, Network Configuration Section
The Network Configuration section includes the following parameters:
Profile Name: The unique name of the profile.
HESSID: The HESSID (Homogeneous Extended Service Set Identifier) is used to identify a collection of
APs, e.g. in a venue, or other "contiguous area". The SP (Service Provider) networks reachable at any
one AP is reachable from all the APs configured with the same HESSID. The HESSID, a globally unique
identifier, is used to give a single identifier for a group of APs connected to the same SP or other
destination network(s). The HESSID is a MAC address that should be configured with the same value
as the basic service set identifier (BSSID) of one of the APs in the network. All APs in the wireless
network should be configured with the same HESSID value.
Disable Downstream Group-Addressed Forwarding: Check (the default) to disable downstream
forwarding of group-addressed (multicast/broadcast) frames.
