Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) — Question 196

An engineer is designing a wireless network for a small airport and completes the initial walkthrough phase of the facility. Which step of the WLAN site survey should the engineer perform next?

Answer options

• A. passive survey
• B. active survey
• C. post-deployment survey
• D. predeployment survey

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The next step after the initial walkthrough is the predeployment survey, which involves planning and assessing the site for optimal wireless coverage. The passive survey collects existing wireless signals, the active survey tests the network once deployed, and the post-deployment survey evaluates the network's performance after installation, making them less appropriate at this stage.
