Q: 6
When a STA has authenticated to an AP (AP-1), but still maintains a connection with another AP (AP- 2), what is the state of the STA on AP-1?

C . STA can only be associated with one AP at a time, so AP-1 just sees it as authenticated but not associated. D looks tempting but that would only be for the AP it's connected to. Open to other views though.
Pretty confident it's C. STA can be authenticated with several APs, but only associated to one at a time. So for AP-1, it'd be authenticated and unassociated. If anyone thinks otherwise let me know.
Seen similar in practice exams, pick is C
C imo
C vs D. Had something like this in a mock and went C, pretty sure that's what they wanted for AP-1.
Its C
C , matches what the official guide and practice labs show for AP-1. Worth reviewing the association/authentication table if you can.
Feels like C. STA can only be associated with one AP at a time, but can stay authenticated to several. So on AP-1 it's just authenticated, not associated. If anyone sees it different let me know.
I'm thinking D for AP-1 since it sounds like the STA can still be associated with both at once.
Option C again? These CWNP questions love trying to trip you up. STA can be authenticated with more than one AP, but association is only active with one, so "authenticated and unassociated" fits AP-1. Unless the standard's changed, that's still how it works.
