Question #: 4
Topic #: 1

Refer to the exhibits.
Exhibit A.

Exhibit B.

Exhibit C.

A wireless network has been installed in a small office building and is being used by a business to connect its wireless clients. The network is used for multiple purposes, including corporate access, guest access, and connecting point-of-sale and Io׀¢ devices.
Users connecting to the guest network located in the reception area are reporting slow performance. The network administrator is reviewing the information shown in the exhibits as part of the ongoing investigation of the problem. They show the profile used for the AP and the controller RF analysis output together with a screenshot of the GUI showing a summary of the AP and its neighboring APs.
To improve performance for the users connecting to the guest network in this area, which configuration change is most likely to improve performance?

A. Increase the transmission power of the AP radios
B. Enable frequency handoff on the AP to band steer clients
C. Reduce the number of wireless networks being broadcast by the AP
D. Install another AP in the reception area to improve available bandwidth

Selected Answer: A

Frequency handoff according to the docs will move a client to the 5GHz band. not the other way around. All the clients are already on 5GHz. The power level is set to 50 and 60%. changing that should do the trick.

I think D is correct. A) it is on max powerlevel (23dbm) on the 5GHz band for Country Code GB. (Increasing the power level on 2,4Ghz band will do nothing for us because of CU. B) reporting clients are on the 5Ghz band - we would not want to push clients to 2,4. C)Only broadcasting 3 SSIDs, thats common D) the only thing that makes sense to me.

Not clear to me: while frequency handoff is not completely configured (it's missing the "set frequency-handoff enable" command that is disabled by default), that would result in making clients switch to 2.4 GHz (from exibit B you can see that almost all clients are connected to 5 GHz and users are already reporting issues so, I think, guests are on 5 GHz?). But 2.4 GHz has a lot of Interfering SSIDs. As the users are complaining about a specific area, maybe it's the power level too low. I'd go for A
