Which of the following working modes does the AP's wired interface have? (Multiple choice)

Question

Options

• AAuto mode
• Broot mode
• Cendpoint mode
• Dmiddle mode

• A
  100% (41)

Explanation

All four options are correct because AP wired interfaces support multiple operating modes to accommodate different network deployment scenarios. Auto mode allows the interface to automatically negotiate parameters (speed/duplex) with connected devices. Root mode designates the AP as the uplink-connected node in a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) bridge, with its wired port connecting back to the LAN. Endpoint mode configures the AP as a leaf node serving end devices at the edge of a wireless bridge topology. Middle mode places the AP as a relay node between root and endpoint APs in a multi-hop bridge chain.

Since all choices are correct, there are no distractors - the question tests whether you know the complete set of wired interface modes, not just some of them; selecting only a subset would be wrong on this multiple-choice item.

Memory tip: Think "A-REM" - Auto, Root, Endpoint, Middle. Auto handles negotiation; Root, Endpoint, and Middle map to the three roles a node can play in a bridge/WDS chain (top, bottom, in-between).
