Huawei Certified ICT Associate – WLAN (HCIA-WLAN) — Question 16

Which of the following statements about CAPWAP functions is false?

Answer options

• A. It enables APs to discover an AC.
• B. It maintains the connectivity state between the AC and APs. B. It enables APs to exchange data sent by STAs with the AC through CAPWAP tunnels when the direct forwarding mode is used.
• C. It enables the AC to manage APs and deliver service configurations to them.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because CAPWAP does not enable APs to discover an AC; rather, it establishes a management connection once the AP is configured with the AC address. The other statements are accurate as they describe the roles of CAPWAP in maintaining connectivity, data exchange, and management of APs.
