CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator v107 — Question 50

What 802.11 network configuration would result in multiple stations broadcasting Beacon frames with the same BSSID but with different source addresses?

Answer options

• A. A single AP supports multiple BSSs with different SSIDs.
• B. An SCA network is in use.
• C. Multiple APs have been loaded with the same configuration from an image file.
• D. An IBSS is used instead of a BSS.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when multiple APs are configured with the same image file, they can operate under the same BSSID, resulting in the same identifier being broadcasted. Options A and D describe different configurations that do not lead to this scenario, and B does not pertain to the broadcasting of Beacon frames with shared BSSIDs.
