A. B. C. D. E.

When configuring an autonomous access point (AP), multiple SSIDs can be broadcasted, and each SSID can be configured with different authentication and encryption settings. In a wireless network, multiple APs can be deployed, and it is important to configure each AP with unique settings, including the SSID.

The given options include different configurations for the autonomous AP. Among them, the option that broadcasts two SSIDs is B. The configuration in option B includes the 'mbssid' keyword, which enables the AP to broadcast multiple basic service set identifiers (BSSIDs) or SSIDs.

The configuration for two SSIDs is given below:

python
dot11 ssiddata1   vlan 10   authentication open   authentication key-management wpa version 1   wpa-psk ascii cisco123   mbssid guest-mode   ! dot11 ssiddata2   vlan 11   authentication open   authentication key-management wpa version 2   wpa-psk ascii                                           Cisco12345   mbssid guest-mode   !

In the configuration above, two SSIDs are configured with different VLAN IDs and encryption settings.

The first SSID is named 'ssiddata1', and it is configured to operate on VLAN 10. It uses WPA version 1 with a pre-shared key (PSK) of "cisco123". The 'mbssid' keyword enables the AP to broadcast multiple BSSIDs with this SSID, and 'guest-mode' allows clients to connect without a username and password.
The second SSID is named 'ssiddata2', and it operates on VLAN 11. It uses WPA version 2 with a PSK of " Cisco12345". The 'mbssid' keyword allows the AP to broadcast multiple BSSIDs with this SSID, and 'guest-mode' allows clients to connect without a username and password.

It is important to note that the other options do not include the 'mbssid' keyword, and therefore, they do not broadcast multiple SSIDs. Additionally, option E includes the 'mbssid' keyword, but only one SSID is configured, and it is set to 'guest-mode', which may not be desirable for a production network.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
