A wireless network consultant is deploying a large number of WAPs and wants to centrally control them from one wireless LAN controller. Which of the following network types should the consultant…

A mesh network is a decentralized topology where WAPs communicate directly with each other to extend coverage, which does not typically involve a single, central WLC for unified management of all WAPs.

An infrastructure wireless network relies on access points (WAPs) to provide connectivity for wireless clients to a wired network. When managed by a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), this setup allows for centralized configuration, monitoring, and control of all connected WAPs from a single point, which is ideal for large deployments.

A point-to-point network involves a direct wireless connection between only two devices and is not suitable for managing multiple WAPs and client access in a larger deployment.

An ad hoc network allows wireless devices to connect directly to each other without an access point or central controller, making it unsuitable for centralized management of multiple WAPs.
