For the networking architecture of AC+thin AP, which of the following description is wrong?

Question

Options

• AThe AP cannot work alone and needs to be maintained and managed by the centralized agent of
• BFunctions such as business QoS and security can be enhanced through AC
• CAP itself has zero configuration, suitable for large-scale networking
• DThe management of APs and users must be realized through the network management system

• A
  13% (6)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  7% (3)
• D
  78% (36)

Explanation

Option D is wrong because in an AC+thin AP architecture, management of APs and users is handled directly by the AC (Access Controller) itself - a separate network management system is not required. The AC is the central intelligence that controls, configures, and monitors all connected thin APs and their associated users, making this statement an inaccurate description of the architecture.

Options A, B, and C are all accurate descriptions and therefore not the answer. A is correct because thin APs are defined by their dependency on the AC - they have no standalone capability. B is correct because the AC's centralized position makes it the natural enforcement point for policies like QoS and security. C is correct because zero-configuration thin APs simplify mass deployment, which is one of the main reasons organizations adopt this architecture.

Memory tip: The word "must" in option D is the trap. The AC handles AP and user management on its own - an external network management system may optionally exist, but it is not a requirement. When you see an absolute word like "must" paired with an unnecessary dependency, treat it as a red flag in architecture questions.
