23
Q

In the 802.11 standard, this is defined as two devices connected wirelessly in a peer to peer manner without the use of an AP

A

IBSS, Ad Hoc

24
Q

In this wireless topology mode, APs bridge client traffic between each other

A

Mesh

25
Q

What are the 3 different types of AP Architectures?

A

Autonomous AP Architecture
Cloud based AP Architecture
Lightweight AP Architecture

26
Q

Solve for the AP architecture definition:

This architecture contains an AP that is a self contained device with both wired and wireless hardware so that it can bridge to the wired VLAN infrastructure wireless clients that belong to SSIDs

A

Autonomous AP Architecture

27
Q

Solve for the AP architecture definition:

This type of architecture is an alternative to purchasing a management platform. The management function is pushed to this

A

Cloud based architecture

28
Q
