Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals (WIFUND, legacy) — Question 126

Which statement about an infrastructure basic service set is true according to IEEE 802.11 specifications?

Answer options

• A. The set also is called an ad hoc network.
• B. The BSSID is generated from the first wireless client that starts up in the IBSS.
• C. The set enables the use of ESS.
• D. No signals are relayed from one client to another client.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an infrastructure basic service set (BSS) supports the use of an Extended Service Set (ESS) by facilitating communication through an access point. Option A is incorrect because an ad hoc network refers to an independent BSS, not an infrastructure BSS. Option B is inaccurate since the BSSID in an IBSS is generated differently. Option D is false as it describes the characteristics of an IBSS, where clients can communicate directly.
