Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals (WIFUND, legacy) — Question 47

The network administrator wants an access point to be able to find rogue APs and to support location-based services. Which AP mode meets this requirement while having the radios up and preventing client connections?

Answer options

• A. rogue-detection
• B. sniffer
• C. FlexConnect
• D. monitor

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D (monitor) mode, which allows the access point to listen for rogue access points and provide location services while disabling client connections. Option A (rogue-detection) is not a valid AP mode, and B (sniffer) mode captures traffic but does not support location services. Option C (FlexConnect) is meant for remote APs and enables client connectivity, which contradicts the requirement of blocking clients.
