QuestionQ378

Network Access

Which type of wired port is needed when an AP provides one unique SSID, carries client data and management traffic, and operates in autonomous mode?

  • A trunk
  • B default
  • C access
  • D LAG
Explanation

An autonomous access point using a single SSID can place both user and management traffic on one VLAN, so its Ethernet uplink does not need to tag multiple VLANs. In that design, the AP connects to a switch access port rather than a trunk port. Trunking is used when the AP must carry traffic for multiple VLANs, such as multiple SSIDs mapped to different VLANs.
