Explanation

Option B (FALSE) is correct because an AC (Access Controller) is a wireless LAN controller responsible for managing and centralizing control of Access Points (APs) - it is not classified as a Level-2 router. In IS-IS routing terminology, a Level-2 router specifically handles inter-area routing between IS-IS areas (backbone routing), a role the AC does not fulfill.

Option A is wrong because it incorrectly assigns a Level-2 IS-IS routing role to the AC, which is a device purpose-built for wireless network management, not backbone inter-area routing.

Memory tip: Think of the AC as a "wireless manager" - it manages APs, not routing areas. If you see "Level-2 router," think backbone/inter-area IS-IS routing, not wireless control. AC = Access Controller (controls APs), not a routing-level device.
