Case study
A customer needs a wireless network upgrade for 802.11ac and possibly an upgrade to the wired network. The customer requires dual-radio 802.11ac APs, each radio of which can support 4×4 MIMO at full feature set.
The customer has given architects this information about their wireless devices:
The architect also has collected information about the existing wired network.
The existing access layer switches support these features:
– 10/100/1000 edge ports
– PoE (802.3af)
– 1GbE fiber uplinks
The existing aggregation switches support these features:
– 1/10GbE fiber ports
– ARP tables up to 62,000
The customer has provided this figure that shows the existing cabling between floors and between buildings:
Each floor is about 100 feet (30 m) by 140 feet (43 m) with a 10 foot (3 m) ceiling. Interior walls are drywall. The layout for each floor is similar to that shown below. CAT5e cable is extended to all areas.
What is one piece of additional information architects should obtain from the customer before they design the wireless solution?
A . whether the users sometimes connect their laptops with Ethernet
B . whether the IoT devices support MAC-Auth
C . the number of concurrently used wireless devices per user
D . the power requirements for the security cameras
Answer: C
