Which type of wired port is required when an AP offers one unique SSID, passes client data and management traffic, and is in autonomous mode?

The correct answer is C. access. An autonomous AP configured with one unique SSID, carrying both client data and management traffic, typically requires the switch port to be configured as an access port.

Why each option

An autonomous AP configured with one unique SSID, carrying both client data and management traffic, typically requires the switch port to be configured as an access port.

Atrunk

A trunk port is used to carry multiple VLANs (tagged traffic) to a device, which would be necessary if the AP was handling multiple SSIDs mapped to different VLANs, but not for a single SSID scenario.

Bdefault

"Default" is not a standard wired port type configuration in this context; ports are typically configured as access or trunk.

CaccessCorrect

When an autonomous AP operates with a single SSID, client data and management traffic are typically associated with a single VLAN. An access port on a switch is designed to carry traffic for only one untagged VLAN, perfectly suiting this simple, single-VLAN scenario.

DLAG

LAG (Link Aggregation Group) bundles multiple physical links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth and redundancy, but it defines the physical layer bundling, not the VLAN-specific behavior of the port itself.
