The LWAPP (Lightweight Access Point Protocol) is in use within the Company wireless LAN.
Which statement is true about this protocol?
A.
Real-time frame exchange is accomplished within the access point.
B.
The control traffic between the client and the access point is encapsulated with the
LWAPP.
C.
Authentication, security, and mobility are handled by the access point.
D.
Data traffic between the client and the access point is encapsulated with LWAPP.
E.
None of the other alternatives apply
Explanation:
When LWAPP was first introduced to the WLAN industry in 2002, it revolutionized the way
WLAN deployments were managed with the concept of a “split MAC” the ability to separate
the real-time aspects of the 802.11 protocol from most of its management aspects. In
particular, real-time frame exchange and certain real-time portions of MAC management are
accomplished within the access point, while authentication, security management, and
mobility are handled by WLAN controllers.http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps6306/prod_white_paper0900
