NSE 7 – LAN Edge 7.0 — Question 43

An administrator has deployed multiple dual-band wireless APs in a wireless network. APs are installed at measured distances to ensure fast roaming for the clients. Multiple 2.4 GHz-only wireless clients are connecting to the network, and subsequent monitoring shows that individual AP 2.4 GHz interfaces are being overloaded with wireless connections.

Which configuration change would best resolve the overloading issue?

Answer options

• A. Configure load balancing AP handoff on both AP interfaces on all APs.
• B. Configure a client limit on all AP 2.4 GHz interfaces.
• C. Configure load balancing AP handoff on only the 2.4 GHz interfaces of all APs.
• D. Configure load balancing frequency handoff on both AP interfaces.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because setting a client limit on the 2.4 GHz interfaces will directly prevent them from becoming overloaded by capping the number of clients that can connect. Options A and C suggest load balancing techniques that do not address the root issue of too many clients connecting to the 2.4 GHz interface. Option D also focuses on load balancing without limiting the number of clients, which would not solve the current overload problem.
