You have a Cisco mesh network. What protocol allows multiple APs to connect with many redundant connections between nodes?
LWAPP
AWPP
STP
IEEE
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Each AP in a mesh network runs the Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). This protocol allows RAPs to communicate with each other to determine the best path back to the wired network via the RAP.
