HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Expert (ACAEX) — Question 9

What is a primary benefit of BSS coloring?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer D is accurate because BSS coloring allows access points (APs) on the same channel to operate more effectively by minimizing interference when they are located further apart. Options A, B, and C incorrectly attribute the application of BSS color tags to client devices, Wi-Fi channels, and wireless controllers, which do not provide the same performance benefits as the correct answer.
