CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator v107 — Question 45

When a STA has authenticated to an AP (AP-1), but still maintains a connection with another AP (AP-2), what is the state of the STA on AP-1?

Answer options

• A. Transitional
• B. Unauthenticated and Unassociated
• C. Authenticated and Unassociated
• D. Authenticated and Associated

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Transitional' because the STA is in the process of switching between APs, having authenticated to AP-1 but still being connected to AP-2. The other options are incorrect as they imply a lack of authentication or association, which does not reflect the STA's current state with AP-1.
