Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) — Question 231

An engineer is designing a network deployment for a college with six buildings. Each building must have a WLC located in the IDF to support the APs. The wireless clients should be able to roam between the APs and the controllers. Which type of wireless architecture should be used?

Answer options

• A. cloud
• B. autonomous
• C. centralized
• D. distributed

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The distributed wireless architecture is appropriate for this scenario as it allows multiple WLCs to manage APs across different locations, enabling seamless roaming for clients. In contrast, a centralized architecture may create bottlenecks and limit performance, while autonomous systems do not support centralized management, making them unsuitable for this kind of deployment.
