Exam SY0-501 topic 1 question 665 discussion

I had a good think about this one and was initially going to go for D. However, we already know that they are connected to the wireless network so what’s the point in scanning for the wireless network again. There’s no indication it’s a rogue AP or we are suffering from low signal strength. A - sniffer - could be potentially helpful to see what’s happening with the packets going to and from the AP. B - honeypot - is nothing to do with this scenario C - routing tables - would be a great place to start so we can see what is happening with the internal routing with the users on that subnet and inter vlan connectivity. If I was doing this in real life, I’d begin with checking the routing tables and then using the sniffer. My vote goes for C - routing tables.

someone get Duarino on the phone .. whats the answer?

At first glance, you are tempted to go with "D"...just as I did, but after analyzing the question further, it becomes obvious that this is a potentially networking issue between the wireless and the wired network...answer is C

C - if APs configs are correct and no rogue aps, acls, vlans and routing tables might be the culprit of the issue. D - if we are going to reference "other side of the building can access the resources but the other side can't", we'll check the (thick/thin) APs for misconfiguration or might be users were connected to a rogue ap. I might side on D on this one just because we're taking a security+ exam not ccna or network+. Just my 2 cents.

routing table - the set of rules and data that the router uses to map its surroundings. On a large network, this could be a lot of information, including planning several across multiple routers.

c is the answer . D is not the answer

I would say that those APs are thin clients, managed by wireless swithc, not fat clients which need to be managed separately. It is company which have many APs according to the question. That leads me to the rogue AP and D as the answer.

The answer is right, they can't access the resources cause probably the resources are on a different subnet. So when things are on a different subnet you need a router to communicate, router then has routing tables. so yeah C.

Do ppl not read the question completely? Users are already connected to the company SSID. What troubleshooting are you going to do with a wireless scanner?

It says its connected to to the SSID but cannot access resources, so the provided answer makes sense.

Wireless scanner can tell you the signal strength and thus help you decide if you need to add another WAP. I go for D

Another vague question, says users in one part of the building. So wireless routing is working, no mention of different SSID so assume all one SSID. Not seen routing tables appear in study materials. So we are assumming this is a seperate wireless subnet or infra. Very misleading

The question does not mention anything that can lead us to check routing. It mentions problems in an area, but can we assume that routing is based in location? I don’t think so. However, it is feasible that in some areas of the building users experience wireless problems due to interference or something. Answer D

it mentions company resources, so guessing internal, so perhaps routing table would show information.

I never came across "routing tables" when studying for this, as far as I know. When I searched, Prof Messer's Networking+ videos came up. Hopefully this is one of those "research" questions. https://www.professormesser.com/network-plus/n10-006/troubleshooting-network-connectivity/

Not sure how this is not D. Wireless Scanner.
