• A. MAC-WinBox
• B. WebFig
• C. QuickSet
• D. Terminal

Answer: (A)

MAC Winbox is the variant that connects using the MAC address and operates at Layer 2. It lets you establish a Winbox session directly to the device on the local network using its hardware MAC address, without needing an IP address. This is especially useful for initial access or when the device hasn’t been assigned an IP yet. Other methods—WebFig, QuickSet, and Terminal—rely on IP addresses: WebFig via a web browser over HTTP/HTTPS, QuickSet as a quick configuration wizard over IP, and Terminal as a CLI session over SSH or Telnet to the device's IP.
