Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 1327 discussion

Not sure about this. I think that neither AP nor the controller doesn't need a special adapter for PoE. So, the answer could be: Access point: -Ability to boost a wifi signal; -Configurable as a workgroup bridge; Wireless LAN Controller: -Uses templates to implement QOS configuration; -Supplies user connection data within a device group; Any more thoughts?

The question is faulty. My answer is: 245 for AP, and 1 for WLC. 1. Uses templates to implement QoS configuration: This is correct for WLC 2. Ability to boost a wi-fi signal: An AP can be configured to relay the existing WLAN, so it is correct for AP. But a WLC does not participate in transmitting wireless signal. 3. Requires a special adapter for PoE: In real scenarios, people use PoE switches to supply APs with power, and WLCs usually have their own power supply. Neither requires a special adapter. 4. Supplies user connection data within a device group: This sounds high-tech but it basically means 'connecting devices together'. An AP does this, or an AP in conjunction with an WLC, depending on the deployment type, autonomous or lightweight AP, but definitely not WLC on its own. 5. Configurable as a workgroup bridge: An AP can be configured as a workgroup bridge.

1. Access Point (AP): a. ability to boost a wi-fi signal: Access points can extend and boost the range of a wireless network. d. configurable as a workgroup bridge: An AP can be configured as a workgroup bridge to connect wired devices to a wireless network. 2. Wireless LAN Controller (WLC): b. supplies user connection data within a device group: A WLC manages multiple APs and provides data on user connections within the network. c. uses templates to implement QOS configuration: WLCs often use templates to configure Quality of Service (QoS) and other settings across multiple APs. The other option: e. requires a special for PoE: This is not specific enough to match either category definitively, as both APs and WLCs can use PoE (Power over Ethernet) but do not necessarily require special considerations solely for this feature.

given answers are incorrect Access Point: ability to boost a wi-fi signal configurable as a workgroup bridge Wireless LAN Controller: uses templates to implement QOS configuration supplies user connection data within a device group Access points can often include features or settings to optimize signal strength and coverage, essential for providing reliable wireless connectivity over a wider area. This is called WIFI signal boosting. An access point typically doesn't require a special adapter for PoE because many modern access points are designed to be PoE-enabled out of the box. https://intellinetnetwork.eu/pages/power-over-ethernet#:~:text=PoE%20switches%20and%20injectors%20are,no%20special%20cabling%20is%20required.

GPT4 says: Based on Cisco documentation and standard networking practices, here’s how the statements from the left should be dragged and dropped onto the destination interfaces on the right: Access Point: ability to boost a wi-fi signal configurable as a workgroup bridge Wireless LAN Controller: uses templates to implement QoS configuration supplies user connection data within a device group

I would be inclined to answer like this: AP: - Configurable as a workgroup bridge - Requires a special adapter for PoE WLC: - Uses templates to implement QOS configuration - Supplies user connection data within a device group; while not all APs need an adapter, a considerable ammount of them require one. correct me if im wrong please
