In a controller-based wireless network, what role does the controller play in relation to access points?

It routes all traffic between clients and the internet

It provides the wireless signal to clients

It centrally manages and configures the access points

It encrypts all wireless traffic

A company has a campus network with 50 VLANs. They need to route between VLANs but want to minimize latency and avoid sending traffic to a central router. Which approach is most appropriate?

Use a Layer 3 switch in each building to route inter-VLAN traffic locally.

Use Layer 2 switches only and extend all VLANs across the campus.

Use a single central router for all inter-VLAN routing.

Use access points to route between VLANs.

A Layer 2 switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is not in its MAC address table. What does the switch do?

Sends the frame to the default gateway

Broadcasts the frame to all devices in the network

Floods the frame out all ports except the port it was received on

Which of the following is an example of a server providing a service to clients?

A web server hosting a company website

A switch forwarding frames to a PC

An access point connecting a laptop to Wi-Fi

A router sending packets to the internet

A warehouse wants to deploy wireless coverage for handheld scanners. The APs will be mounted on high ceilings. The IT team is deciding between standalone APs and controller-managed APs. What is the primary advantage of using controller-managed APs in this environment?

They eliminate the need for switches.

They provide better wireless range than standalone APs.

Centralized configuration and policy enforcement across all APs.
