300-110 Exam Dumps : Designing Cisco Wireless Networks (300-110 WLSD) v1.2

A pre-site survey questionnaire is used to gather information before the physical survey begins, helping to define design requirements. The two most important information points it should contain are the access point density required and the applications that will run over the wireless network. Access point density (Option C) must be understood early because it depends on the number and types of users in each area, directly influencing the survey approach and AP placement strategy. Applications (Option E) are critical because they define the QoS requirements — a company developing code may run video conferencing, large file transfers, and real-time collaboration tools, each with distinct bandwidth and latency requirements that shape the RF design criteria. The total number of existing APs (Option A) and the current controller model (Option D) are inventory questions, not design requirement inputs. Client device types (Option B) are important but are a subset of the application question — applications drive the specific device capability requirements.

The design requirements specify a multi-LAG configuration where each LAG connects to a single switch, different VLANs are assigned to different LAGs, the controller must dynamically learn partner LAG capabilities per port, and standby ports provide redundancy upon active port failure. These requirements collectively point to IEEE 802.3ad LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) as the correct protocol. LACP is the industry-standard IEEE protocol that enables dynamic negotiation of LAG membership between endpoints — the WLC and each Catalyst 9300 switch exchange LACP PDUs (LACPDUs) to discover port capabilities, negotiate bundle membership, and monitor link status. LACP supports active and passive port states where active ports initiate negotiation and passive ports respond, and it provides the standby port mechanism through its hot-standby capability for link redundancy within the bundle. The requirement to ' learn the identity of partners that can support LAG capabilities ' is the defining characteristic of LACP ' s standardized PDU exchange mechanism. PAgP (Option C) is a Cisco proprietary port aggregation protocol that, while functionally similar, is not the IEEE standard and is incompatible with non-Cisco equipment in mixed environments. OSPF (Option B) and BGP (Option D) are Layer 3 routing protocols entirely unrelated to port channel negotiation.

Raising the minimum data rate to 24 Mbps reduces the effective coverage range of each AP because clients at the cell edge operating at low data rates are effectively excluded from the cell. This shrinks cell size, reducing channel overlap between neighboring APs on the same channel. Using directional antennas limits the coverage area of some APs by focusing RF energy in specific directions rather than radiating omnidirectionally, which directly reduces the lateral overlap between adjacent APs. Increasing AP transmit power (Option B) would worsen overlap, not reduce it. Allowing UNII-2e channels (Option C) provides more channel options but does not reduce the physical cell overlap — it only provides more channels to avoid co-channel interference. Power saving mode (Option E) is a client-side power management feature unrelated to AP cell sizing during a survey.
