A client STA must choose the best AP for connectivity. As part of the evaluation, it must verify compatible data rates. What can the client STA use to verify that an

AP supports the same data rates that it supports?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The client STA can useBeacon frames transmitted by the APto verify that an AP supports the same data rates that it supports. Beacon frames are management frames that are periodically broadcasted by the APs to announce their presence, capabilities, and parameters. One of the information elements contained in the Beacon frames is the Supported Rates or Extended Supported Rates, which lists the data rates that the AP can use for communication. The client STA can compare its own data rates with those advertised by the AP to determine if they are compatible. Data frames, authentication frames, and probe request frames do not contain information about data rates.Reference:[CWNP Certified Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide: Exam CWNA-109], page 133; [CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide: Exam CWNA-109], page 123.

I’m leaning towards B. Data frames show real-time rates.

I thought probe requests were more relevant for this?

I’m leaning towards A) as well, but I wonder if there’s a chance that B) could provide some insight too, since it involves current connections.

I feel like we discussed probe requests in class, but I can't recall if they actually help with verifying data rates. Could it be D)?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about data frames being used for communication, so maybe B) is relevant too?

I think the answer might be A) Beacon frames, since they contain information about the supported data rates of the AP.
