CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 428

A network engineer needs to deploy an access point at a remote office so that it will not communicate back to the wireless LAN controller. Which of the following deployment methods must the engineer use to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. ESSID
• B. Lightweight
• C. Autonomous
• D. Ad hoc

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is C, Autonomous, as this mode allows the access point to operate independently without the need for communication with a wireless LAN controller. Options A (ESSID) and D (Ad hoc) do not pertain directly to the deployment method that isolates the access point, while B (Lightweight) requires a connection to the controller for management.
