Check Text (C-266708r1040614_chk)
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 Text (F-70535r1040613_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.
