Which access point mode enables a Cisco AP to dedicate itself to scanning all wireless channels for threats and performance issues without serving client traffic?
Monitor mode allows a Cisco access point to focus entirely on scanning all the wireless channels for interference, rogue devices, and other potential issues. In this mode, the AP does not transmit or receive client data, making it ideal for network analysis and security monitoring. This is different from Local mode, which serves client traffic, and Sniffer mode, which captures packets for analysis.
