Differences Between Wireless Networks
This post will help with CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ exams.
BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) - This is the MAC address of the WAP (Wireless Access Point). There should never be 2 WAPs with the same BSSID, if so one of them is most likely an evil twin used capture traffic and credentials.
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) - Naming all of your WAPs the same name for easier transition of your wireless devices in your company as users move through the building, such as different floors.
IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set) With this method a WAP is not needed. The systems connect directly to each other, ad-hoc.
SSID (Service Set Identifier) the broadcast name of a WAP. Changing the name from the default name to a unique name makes it easier for users to know which WAP to connect.
