NSE 7 – LAN Edge 7.0 — Question 28

When you configure a FortiAP wireless interface for auto TX power control, which statement describes how it configures its transmission power?

Answer options

• A. Every 30 seconds, the AP will measure the signal strength of the AP using the client. The AP will adjust its signal strength up or down until the AP signal is detected at -70 dBm.
• B. Every 30 seconds, FortiGate measures the signal strength of adjacent AP interfaces. It will adjust its own AP power to match the adjacent AP signal strength.
• C. Every 30 seconds, FortiGate measures the signal strength of adjacent FortiAP interfaces. It will adjust the adjacent AP power to be detectable at -70 dBm.
• D. Every 30 seconds, FortiGate measures the signal strength of the weakest associated client. The AP will then configure its radio power to match the detected signal strength of the client.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because FortiGate monitors the signal strength of nearby FortiAP interfaces and adjusts their power to be detectable at -70 dBm to ensure proper connectivity. Option A is incorrect as it refers to measuring client signal strength instead of adjacent APs. Option B incorrectly states that it adjusts its own power to match adjacent APs, while D focuses on the weakest client instead of neighboring APs.
