Two outdoor radios link two buildings. Each is in bridge mode, and no client associates to them. A note calls the link an extended service set. What is it?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The radios are a wire between two buildings, not a place for laptops to join. You built a bridge. An extended service set is access points serving clients under one name.
Full Explanation
A bridge links two network segments over the air. These radios are in bridge mode, no client associates, and the job is to connect two buildings. That is a bridge, not an extended service set. An extended service set is basic service sets under one SSID that clients join. Two radios do not become one just by having a name. An independent basic service set is stations with no access point. Bridge mode did not remove the radios. It gave them a point-to-point job. A mesh root serves a backhaul for mesh access points and typically still has a client role. This link is not that. Two outdoor radios in bridge mode linking two buildings are a bridge, not an extended service set of access points. Check one live client after the change and leave the rest of the floor alone until that client matches the result you expected. Exam caveat: a root access point can bridge to the wire and also serve clients. This stem has no clients and both ends in bridge mode. Operational check: confirm both ends are bridges, pass traffic between the buildings, and do not expect a client to associate to the link.
