In WDS deployment, which bridge networking modes include? (Multiple choice)
The correct answer is A. Peer-to-peer B. Point-to-Multipoint C. Relay bridge mode. WDS (Wireless Distribution System) defines three standard bridge networking modes: peer-to-peer (two APs link directly to each other), point-to-multipoint (one root AP connects to multiple remote APs simultaneously), and relay bridge mode (APs chain together to extend range…

Explanation
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) defines three standard bridge networking modes: peer-to-peer (two APs link directly to each other), point-to-multipoint (one root AP connects to multiple remote APs simultaneously), and relay bridge mode (APs chain together to extend range beyond a direct link). These three cover the core topologies used to build wireless backbones without a wired infrastructure.
Option D, "multipoint to multipoint," is incorrect because WDS does not define a mode where multiple root APs simultaneously interconnect with multiple other APs as full peers - that kind of mesh topology goes beyond WDS's bridge architecture and is handled by dedicated wireless mesh protocols instead.
Memory tip: Think of WDS bridges as covering the three P's - Peer, Point-to-multipoint, and Relay (the odd one out is the mesh-style "many-to-many" that WDS simply wasn't designed for).
