A network engineer is configuring a newly installed multi-floor wireless deployment for a medical clinic. The deployment must support high-density client access on both the and bands while minimizing co-channel and adjacent-channel interference between adjacent access points (APs). Which of the following design and configuration strategies should the engineer implement to fulfill these requirements? (Select TWO.)
- Restrict radio configurations strictly to non-overlapping channels , , and using a channel bandwidth.Answer
- BConfigure adjacent access points on the band to use overlapping channels , , and to balance client connections.
- Enable Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels in the spectrum to increase available non-overlapping channels where radar co-existence is permitted.Answer
- DEnable channel bonding across all radios to maximize wireless data throughput for medical imaging devices.
- EAssign identical channel numbers to all adjacent access points on the same floor to force seamless client roaming.
Answer
The correct strategies are restricting the 2.4 GHz band to non-overlapping channels 1, 6, and 11 with 20 MHz bandwidth, and enabling Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels in the 5 GHz spectrum to expand non-overlapping channel capacity.
Restricting 2.4 GHz radios to channels 1, 6, and 11 using 20 MHz channel width ensures that adjacent APs operating on 2.4 GHz do not cause mutual adjacent-channel interference. Additionally, configuring DFS on 5 GHz radios unlocks additional non-overlapping channels (UNII-2 and UNII-2 Extended), dramatically reducing co-channel interference across multi-AP enterprise deployments.
