After a laptop associates, it moves a file. Which frame carries that file's payload?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The file is the work, and the work rides in a data frame once the laptop is in the cell. A beacon is the access point introducing itself. It is not your file.
Full Explanation
Data frames carry the client payload. After association, the file moves in data frames. A beacon advertises the BSS and does not carry the file. A probe request is how a client looks for a BSS before it is in it, and it does not hold the file either. An acknowledgement is a control frame that confirms reception. It does not contain the file. After association, the client's payload is a data frame. A beacon and a probe are management frames and do not carry that payload. Check one live client after the change and leave the rest of the floor alone until that client matches the result you expected. Confirm the symptom on the next attempt before changing anything else. Confirm the symptom on the next attempt before changing anything else. Exam caveat: management frames can carry small information elements, and those are not the file transfer. When the question is the payload of the file, the frame is data. Operational check: capture the laptop during the transfer and confirm the file bytes sit in data frames, with beacons still periodic and separate.
