CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 765

A network technician is working at a new office location and needs to connect one laptop to another to transfer files. The laptops are newer models and do not have Ethernet ports. Access points are not available either. Which of the following types of wireless network SSIDs does the network technician need to configure to be able to connect the laptops together?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), which allows for peer-to-peer connections between wireless devices without the need for an access point. Options B and C involve configurations that require an access point or infrastructure mode, which isn't suitable here, and D refers to Basic Service Set, which also requires an access point for connections.
