How to get the APs to announce their names in beacons and probe responses in Unleashed 200.18.x.

I cannot find a UI option or CLI command for instructing an Unleashed 200.18.x system with an R850 dedicated master and five R770 APs to announce AP names in beacons and probe responses. Is this an available feature in Unleashed? If so, does anyone know the CLI command for this?

Hi Devinator

Thank you for reaching us.

Based on the documentation reviewed, it appears that the specific feature you’re looking for — broadcasting AP names in beacons and probe responses — is not currently available in the Unleashed platform.

While the guide includes steps to edit WLAN names, there is no option shown for embedding AP names in broadcast frames. Only the features explicitly listed in the Unleashed user guide are supported.

Thank you
