AOS wireless local area network (WLAN) service set identifiers (SSIDs) must be changed from the manufacturer's default to a pseudo random word that does not identify the unit, base, organization, etc.

Rule version ARBA-NT-001660 · STIG v1 · 2026-08-25

Discussion

An SSID that identifies the unit, site, or purpose of the WLAN or is set to the manufacturer default may cause an operational security vulnerability.

Check

Review AOS WLAN configuration by navigating to Configuration >> WLANs.

If the WLAN SSIDs listed in the "NAME (SSID)" column are not pseudo random words, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure AOS using the web interface:

1. Navigate to Configuration >> WLANs and click on the "+" sign to create a guest WLAN. 2. Configure the SSID with a pseudo random word. 3. Finish configuring the WLAN. 4. Click Pending Changes >> Deploy Changes.
