Incorrect Answers
An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients. That is not sufficient here: The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing.
A full/half duplex mismatch creates errors and poor performance even if the link stays up. That is not sufficient here: The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing.
Routing selects a next hop from a destination IP prefix instead of forwarding solely by MAC address. That is not sufficient here: The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing.
