SSIDs define the wireless network identity and security settings that clients connect to. Each SSID is created at the Global level and can then be attached to one or more Wireless Network Profiles for site-level deployment. SSIDs are applicable to both SDA fabric and non-fabric (traditional/FlexConnect) deployments.

Example 1: Basic WPA3 Personal SSID configuration with triple-band support, featuring modern security settings including SAE authentication, protected management frames, and optimized client management for enterprise environments:
