A. B. C. D.C
When an access point disables SSID broadcasting, it stops sending the wireless network name (SSID) in beacon frames. This setting is intended to increase network security by making it more difficult for attackers to detect the network. However, it can also create problems for legitimate users trying to connect to the network.
To connect to an access point with SSID broadcasting disabled, the user must know the SSID of the network and enter it manually in their device's wireless network settings.
So, the correct answer to the question is C: Set the SSID value on the client to the SSID configured on the AP.
The other options are not necessary for connecting to an access point with SSID broadcasting disabled.
Option A is incorrect because setting the SSID value to "public" would not provide the necessary information to connect to the access point.
Option B is incorrect because open authentication is a security setting, and it would not enable a client to connect to the access point if the SSID is not known.
Option D is also incorrect because MAC address filtering is another security setting that would not enable a client to connect if the SSID is not known.
In summary, to connect to an access point with SSID broadcasting disabled, the user must know the SSID of the network and enter it manually in their device's wireless network settings.
