HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Expert (ACAEX) — Question 30

What is a primary benefit of BSS coloring?

Answer options

• A. BSS color tags improve performance by allowing APs on the same channel to be farther apart.
• B. BSS color tags are applied to client devices and can reduce the threshold for interference.
• C. BSS color tags are applied on the wireless controllers and can reduce the threshold for interference.
• D. BSS color tags are applied to Wi-Fi channels and can reduce the threshold for interference.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights that BSS color tags help improve performance by allowing access points (APs) to be spaced further apart on the same channel, which can reduce interference. Options B, C, and D incorrectly suggest that BSS color tags are applied to client devices, wireless controllers, or Wi-Fi channels, which does not accurately reflect the primary function of BSS coloring.
