What are the two methods that a wireless NIC can use to discover an AP? (Choose two.)

  • transmitting a probe request
  • sending an ARP request broadcast
  • receiving a broadcast beacon frame
  • initiating a three-way handshake
  • sending a multicast frame

Explanation: Two methods can be used by a wireless device to discover and register with an access point: passive mode and active mode. In passive mode, the AP sends a broadcast beacon frame that contains the SSID and other wireless settings. In active mode, the wireless device must be manually configured for the SSID, and then the device broadcasts a probe request.
