Which command configures the wireless interface to operate as an access point with a specific SSID and security profile named 'sec'?

• A. /interface wireless set [find default-name=wlan1] mode=ap ssid=YourSSID security-profile=sec
• B. /interface wireless set [find default-name=wlan1] mode=station ssid=YourSSID security-profile=sec
• C. /interface wireless security-profiles add name=sec wpa2-pre-shared-key=YourPass wpa2=yes
• D. /interface wireless set [find default-name=wlan1] mode=ap ssid=YourSSID

Answer: (A)

Setting a wireless interface to act as an access point with a specific SSID and security profile requires three things in one command: put the interface into AP mode, assign the desired SSID, and apply the security profile by name. The command that does all three is the one that targets the wireless interface, sets mode to AP, specifies the SSID, and links the security profile named sec. This ensures the device behaves as an access point with the exact network name you want and the security settings defined in that profile. Security profiles must exist before you apply them to an interface. You can create a profile named sec with WPA2 settings separately, then reference it in the AP configuration. If you only set AP mode and SSID without a security profile, the AP would have no explicit security. If you set a mode of station, the interface behaves as a client rather than an AP. If you create the security profile but don’t configure AP mode and SSID on the interface, the AP won’t be established.
