CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 362

Which 802.11 frame type is indicated by a probe response after a client sends a probe request?

Answer options

• A. data
• B. management
• C. control
• D. action

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, management, because probe requests and responses are part of the management frame types used in the 802.11 protocol for network discovery. The other options—data, control, and action—do not pertain to the exchange that occurs during the probe process.
