Spaces in SSIDs

[Brent_Addis]

Hey All,

We have clients with several SSID's demarked with a space and an identifier as to what the SSID is (I also have a vanity SSID at home with spaces...). They've had these SSID's for many many years, through many different products. They have had ExtremeCloudIQ for a year now, with spaces, working fine.

Logged in today on one of them to make a change, and I am unable to alter anything without removing spaces from the SSID. This is a daunting task with thousands of clients who would need the SSID changed on their devices. All we get is a red circle with "Is an invalid character" until the spaces are removed.

Is this a new change? When was it implemented? It's seemingly minor to Extreme, However major to us. Can this be disabled? I don't see an option to do so.

Hi Brent,

It seems to be a bug in the latest XIQ version. You can use spaces in the SSID name using the cli.

ssid "Test 0"

I have tested it and it works.

Hi Jjlmangas,

Do you have a sample for use spaces in the SSID name using the cli?

Thanks
