I dont think this is possible. U could create a policy including only the APs where u want to hide it. But this is a pain in the *** since u cant copy policies 😞

Thanks Antoniutz,

Thats a good point, will resort to that if nothing else, seems odd it's not possible per AP.

Cheers

Kris,

You could easily use the CLI Supplement to accomplish this.

Simply create a CLI Supplement object (enable CLI Supplement if not already enabled).

Add the following command where <string> is your SSID:

ssid <string> hide-ssid

Then apply this CLI Supplement to the APs you only wish to hide the SSID and push complete updates out to them.

Hi Brian,

This looks to have worked which is cool. Thanks for your help. I wanted a few of the AP's in my lab to not show the SSID but still collect the un-associated clients analytics data so this should do the trick. Thanks!
