2.6 Compare Cisco Wireless Architectures and AP modes

In Chapter 1, “Fundamentals of Wireless Networks,” you learned how a single access point (AP) can provide a basic service set (BSS) for a cell area and how multiple APs can be connected to form an extended service set (ESS) for a larger network. In this chapter, you learn more about different approaches or architectures that allow APs to be networked together for an enterprise.
