CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 249

A network administrator is testing performance improvements by configuring channel bonding on an 802.11ac AP. Although a site survey detected the majority of the 5GHz frequency spectrum was idle, being used only by the company's WLAN and a nearby government radio system, the AP is not allowing the administrator to manually configure a large portion of the 5GHz frequency range. Which of the following would be BEST to configure for the WLAN being tested?

Answer options

• A. Upgrade the equipment to an AP that supports manual configuration of the EIRP power settings
• B. Switch to 802.11n, disable channel auto-selection, and enforce channel bonding on the configuration
• C. Set up the AP to perform a dynamic selection of the frequency according to regulatory requirements
• D. Deactivate the band 5GHz to avoid interference with the government radio

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as dynamic frequency selection is crucial for compliance with regulations, allowing the AP to avoid interference with licensed services. Options A and B do not address the regulatory requirements, while option D would unnecessarily limit the WLAN's capabilities by disabling the 5GHz band.
