In an 802.11 WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), a wireless access point (WAP or AP) provides several key services to facilitate communication and improve the functionality of the network. However, there’s one service mentioned in the options you provided that is not typically a function of a wireless access point. Since you haven’t provided specific options to choose from, I’ll list common services provided and then mention services that are not typically provided by a wireless access point:
### Services Provided by a Wireless Access Point:
1. Network Bridging: A wireless access point connects devices on a wireless network to a wired network, allowing them to communicate.
2. Traffic Management: It manages the data packets within the network, ensuring they are properly routed and prioritized.
3. Network Security: Implements security protocols such as WEP, WPA, or WPA2 to secure the wireless communication against unauthorized access.
4. SSID Broadcast: Broadcasts the network name (SSID) to make the network discoverable to wireless devices.
5. MAC Address Filtering: Allows or denies devices based on their MAC addresses.
6. DHCP Services: Some access points can offer DHCP services, providing IP addresses to devices on the network.
### Services Not Typically Provided by a Wireless Access Point:
– Intrusion Detection and Prevention: While some advanced APs might include this feature, traditional access points do not typically provide comprehensive intrusion detection and prevention. These are more complex network security functions
C. Error correction
