Which option correctly describes when an AP openly advertises its service by periodically sending broadcast beacon frames containing the SSID, supported standards, and security settings?
- Active mode
- Mixed mode
- Open authentication mode
- Passive mode
Explanation: When an access point is configured in passive mode, the SSID is broadcast so that the name of wireless network will appear in the listing of available networks for clients. Active is a mode used to configure an access point so that clients must know the SSID to connect to the access point. APs and wireless routers can operate in a mixed mode, meaning that that multiple wireless standards are supported. Open is an authentication mode for an access point that has no impact on the listing of available wireless networks for a client.
