CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 298

How does a Cisco Unified Wireless Network respond to Wi-Fi channel overlap?

Answer options

• A. It allows the administrator to assign the channels on a per-device or per-interface basis.
• B. It segregates devices from different manufactures onto different channels.
• C. It analyzes client load and background noise and dynamically assigns a channel.
• D. It alternates automatically between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on adjacent access points.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Cisco Unified Wireless Network is designed to optimize performance by analyzing the current client load and background noise to select the best channel dynamically. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the dynamic nature of channel assignment, and option D is misleading as it does not describe how the network handles channel overlap specifically.
