CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 526

A network technician is configuring a wireless network that consists of multiple APs for better coverage and allows roaming between the APs. Which of the following types of SSIDs should the technician configure?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Extended Service Set (ESS) is designed for networks with multiple access points, allowing seamless roaming and better coverage. The Basic Service Set (BSS) and Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) are limited to single AP configurations or peer-to-peer networks, which do not support roaming. The Distribution System Service (DSS) is not a type of SSID but rather a method of connecting multiple BSSs.
