What is the expected outcome when a wireless client is configured correctly?

• A. It should be able to connect to the network and obtain an IP address.
• B. It should automatically grant administrator rights.
• C. It should disable DHCP functionality.
• D. It should prevent the device from advertising its presence.

Answer: (A)

When a wireless client is configured correctly, it should be able to join the wireless network and obtain IP configuration automatically. After it successfully authenticates and associates with the access point, the network’s DHCP server assigns an IP address (along with gateway and DNS settings). With an IP in place, the device can communicate with other hosts on the network and access resources or the Internet.

This aligns with normal operation because IP assignment is what enables network traffic to flow. Automatically granting administrator rights isn’t related to basic connectivity, DHCP should be enabled to receive an IP, and while devices may probe or advertise presence during discovery, that by itself isn’t the measured outcome of a correct configuration.
