CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 328

A small company is requesting a quote to refresh its wireless network. The company currently runs 60 autonomous APs and has plans to increase wireless density by 50% in the near future. The requirements state that the chosen solution should significantly decrease the management overhead of the current wireless network.
Which of the following should the vendors recommend in response to the quote request?

Answer options

• A. The use of lightweight APs with a load balancer
• B. The use of autonomous APs with a wireless controller
• C. The use of autonomous APs with a load balancer
• D. The use of lightweight APs with a wireless controller

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because lightweight APs managed by a wireless controller streamline management and reduce overhead, making it easier to handle increased density. Options A and C do not provide the centralized management needed, and option B retains the autonomous APs, which do not meet the requirement to decrease management overhead.
