Several access points advertise the same Wi-Fi network name across an office. What does that network name identify?

  1. A

    It identifies one particular access point.

  2. B

    It identifies a WLAN that may be advertised by multiple access points.

  3. C

    It identifies the wired switch port carrying the WLAN.

  4. D

    It identifies the client device's wireless adapter.

Select all statements supported about FlexConnect or local switching.

  1. A

    A controller-managed AP can be configured to switch client traffic onto the local wired network.

  2. B

    Every FlexConnect AP continues all functions locally whenever its controller link fails.

  3. C

    Some functions may continue locally during a controller-link outage.

A client associates successfully, but its WLAN is mapped to a VLAN that is not reaching the network through the AP's switch uplink. What should the network technician verify?

  1. A

    The client must associate with a second SSID before reaching its VLAN.

  2. B

    The AP must use monitor mode so the switch can identify the client.

  3. C

    The required VLAN must be allowed and correctly configured along the trunk path.

  4. D

    The switch port should be changed to an unrelated VLAN.

Select all statements that accurately describe wireless security options and their use.

  1. A

    WPA3-Enterprise uses enterprise authentication such as 802.1X, which typically relies on RADIUS.

  2. B

    WPA3-Personal and WPA3-Enterprise both require a shared passphrase as their authentication method.

  3. C

    WPA2-Personal with AES/CCMP may be needed for compatible older devices when WPA3 is unavailable.

  4. D

    WEP is recommended for older devices because it is a modern replacement for WPA3.
