CompTIA Exam N10-008 Topic 1 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's N10-008 exam

Question #: 48
Topic #: 1

A network technician is configuring a wireless network that consists of multiple APS for better coverage and allows roaming between the APS. Which of the following types of SSIDs should the technician configure?

ABasic Service Set

BIndependent Basic Service Set

CExtended Service Set

DDistribution System Service

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

An extended service set (ESS) is a type of SSID that allows multiple access points (APs) to share the same SSID and provide seamless roaming for wireless clients. An ESS consists of two or more basic service sets (BSSs), which are individual APs with their own SSIDs. A distribution system (DS), such as a wired Ethernet LAN, connects the BSSs and enables data transfer between them. A wireless client can associate with any AP in the ESS and move from one BSS to another without losing connectivity or reauthenticating.

Actually, I think the correct option is A) Basic Service Set because it forms the foundation for wireless networking.

I'm not so sure. I think the answer might be D) Distribution System Service.

I don't think so, D is more about connecting different networks together.

But shouldn't it be D) Distribution System Service for better coverage?

Hmm, the Distribution System Service (DSS) sounds intriguing, but I think that's more for the backend infrastructure, not the user-facing SSID. ESS is the way to go - keeps things simple and seamless for the users.

Great, that should optimize our wireless network performance.

Okay, let's configure the network with Extended Service Set then.

You know, I was tempted by the Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) option, but that's more for ad-hoc, peer-to-peer networks. Wouldn't really fit the bill here. ESS is the clear winner in my book.

Definitely, the ESS is the way to go. It creates a single logical network across multiple APs, making it perfect for that roaming scenario. Beats having to reconnect every time you move, that's for sure.

Ah, a tricky one! This SSID business is like a secret language we have to decode, eh? Let's see, I reckon the technician should go for an Extended Service Set (ESS) to allow for seamless roaming between the APs.
