CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 700

A wireless access point is needed and must meet these requirements:
• “zero-touch” deployed and managed by a WLC
• process only real-time MAC functionality
• used in a split-MAC architecture

Which access point type must be used?

Answer options

• A. mesh
• B. autonomous
• C. lightweight
• D. cloud-based

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, lightweight access points, as they are designed to operate in a split-MAC architecture and are managed by a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) with zero-touch deployment. Options A, B, and D do not meet all the specified requirements; mesh and autonomous access points do not rely on a WLC for management, while cloud-based access points may not align with the split-MAC architecture requirement.
