Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) — Question 44

A wireless engineer is using Ekahau Site Survey to validate that an existing wireless network is operating as expected. Which type of survey should be used to identify the end-to-end network performance?

Answer options

• A. GPS assisted
• B. spectrum analysis
• C. passive
• D. active ping

Correct answer: D

Explanation

An active ping survey is designed to measure the end-to-end performance of a wireless network by sending and receiving packets, thus providing real-time data on latency and throughput. Other options, such as spectrum analysis or passive surveys, do not actively measure network performance and focus on different aspects of wireless network evaluation.
