QuestionQ214

Network Fundamentals

Several additional coverage cells are needed to enhance an organization's Wi-Fi network.

Which two standard design approaches are recommended?

Choose two
  • A 5GHz provides increased network capacity with up to 23 nonoverlapping channels.
  • B 5GHz channel selection requires an autonomous access point.
  • C Cells that overlap one another are configured to use nonoverlapping channels.
  • D Adjacent cells with overlapping channels use a repeater access point.
  • E For maximum throughput, the WLC is configured to dynamically set adjacent access points to the channel.
Explanation

A sound WLAN design uses the 5 GHz band to increase capacity because it provides many more nonoverlapping channels than 2.4 GHz, and overlapping cells should be assigned different nonoverlapping channels so adjacent coverage areas do not interfere unnecessarily. Cisco wireless design and controller guidance explicitly recommends assigning different nonoverlapping channels to nearby access points, and Cisco documentation on WLC channel management shows dynamic channel assignment is a controller function rather than something that requires autonomous APs.
