Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 838 discussion

D I’m gonna go with Access point y’all. Makes no sense in an enterprise environment for a device or any kind to be connected directly to a router. They first have to get connection through AP’s. I don’t think GPT is right here just my opinion.

The correct answer is D. Access Point (AP). IoT devices typically connect to networks via: *Wireless Access Points* 1. Home routers 2. Wi-Fi networks 3. Cellular networks (cellular-based IoT) *Why Access Points?* 1. Convenience: Easy setup and connectivity. 2. Mobility: Devices can move freely. 3. Scalability: Supports multiple devices. *Other Options Explained* A. Router: Connects networks, but IoT devices primarily need wireless access. B. Firewall: Secures networks, but doesn't provide direct connectivity. C. Proxy Server: Masks IP addresses, not typically used for IoT connectivity. *IoT Connection Methods* 1. Wi-Fi (802.11) 2. Bluetooth 3. Zigbee 4. Cellular (2G/3G/4G/5G) 5. Ethernet *Common IoT Devices* 1. Smart thermostats 2. Security cameras 3. Wearables 4. Smart home devices

It's D, who the hell connects IoTs directly to a router, they're almost always all wireless

IoT (Internet of Things) devices are most likely connected to a router. A router manages network traffic, assigns IP addresses, and connects devices, including IoT devices, to the internet or other network resources. B. Firewall: A firewall is used to protect networks from unauthorized access and is not typically the primary connection point for devices. It controls traffic based on security policies rather than connecting devices. C. Proxy server: A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients and the internet, often used for security or performance reasons, but it is not primarily used for connecting IoT devices. D. Access point: An access point provides wireless connectivity to a network but typically connects devices to a router or switch, rather than being the primary connection point for IoT devices.

gpt says router

I think this one should actually be router.
