Huawei Certified ICT Associate – Data Center Network (HCIA-DCN) — Question 79

Which of the following packets are exchanged between STAs and an AP to obtain the AP’s SSID before association with the AP? (Choose all that apply.)

Answer options

• A. Probe Request
• B. Discovery
• C. Beacon
• D. Probe Response

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D because a Probe Request is sent by the STA to seek available networks, and the Probe Response is sent by the AP providing the requested information, including the SSID. Options B and C do not directly pertain to the process of obtaining the SSID; Discovery is not a standard term related to this context, and a Beacon is used by the AP to announce its presence but doesn't respond to a request for SSID.
