Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) — Question 110
An engineer is implementing a wireless design for a service provider. The design includes a Catalyst 9800, a stack of two Catalyst 9300X-48HX switches, and 9166 APs. Each AP must be named using the Floor-439412509-01X sting where X is the area number. The engineer wants to connect the APs to the switch stack using POE. How many APs must the engineer connect to the stack so the APs run using full functionalities?
Answer options
- A. all ports on switch 2 of the stack
- B. all ports on switch 1 of the stack
- C. all ports of the switches
- D. half ports per switch
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because connecting half of the ports per switch allows for sufficient power distribution to all the APs while ensuring that the remaining ports can support additional devices if needed. Options A and B suggest using all ports of one switch, which is unnecessary and could lead to inefficiencies. Option C implies connecting all ports of both switches, which is excessive for just powering the APs.
