Purpose of the "guest-mode" command
This question has been Answered.
Hi Guys,
Today I was configuring a 1131AG at a client using the CLI and I removed the "guest-mode" command that was under the SSID config mode. After doing this I noticed that the SSID wasn't being broadcast anymore. Putting back the command resulted in the SSID being broadcast and me being able to connect to it. I did some research on Cisco's DocCD on the command which pretty much explains it but I'd still like an expert response so that I'm 100% sure. Also, the DocCD said that an access point can only have one SSID in guest-mode. My question here is, if this is true, how do you configure an AP to broadcast multiple SSID? I would have thought that you just create multiple SSID and put the guest-mode command under there which broadcast the beacons, but according to Cisco's documentation, there can only be one SSID in guest-mode per AP.
"The access point can have one guest-mode SSID or none at all."
Appreciate your responses.
Jason.

You are correct guest mode broadcasts the SSID and only one SSID can be in gueat mode.
To broadcast multiple SSIDs use mbssid guest-mode on each SSID,
