H12-311_V3.0 · Question #48
In a WDS network, a Root AP can connect to multiple Leaf APs, but a Leaf AP can only connect to one Root AP.
The correct answer is A. True. Option A is correct because WDS (Wireless Distribution System) uses a hub-and-spoke topology where the Root AP serves as the central backbone and can simultaneously maintain wireless links with multiple Leaf APs, extending network coverage across different areas. Each Leaf AP…

Explanation
Option A is correct because WDS (Wireless Distribution System) uses a hub-and-spoke topology where the Root AP serves as the central backbone and can simultaneously maintain wireless links with multiple Leaf APs, extending network coverage across different areas. Each Leaf AP, however, is designed to associate with only one Root AP to maintain a clear, loop-free path back to the wired network infrastructure. Option B is wrong because it contradicts the defined WDS architecture - the one-to-many relationship between Root and Leaf APs is a fundamental design characteristic, not an optional configuration.
Memory tip: Think of the Root AP as a tree trunk and the Leaf APs as individual branches - the trunk supports many branches, but each branch grows from only one trunk.
