CCNP Enterprise 300-425 Cisco Study Notes

 In environments with high client density, deploying APs for 5 GHz coverage is recommended due to the larger number of non-overlapping channels available, which can support higher data rates and client capacity. Disabling the 2.4 GHz radios on some APs can reduce interference and improve overall network performance.

 Cisco 3800 Series APs support higher speeds provided by IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2, which Fast Ethernet switches cannot fully support. Replacing them with mGig or gigabit switches with 10G uplinks will ensure the infrastructure can handle the increased data rates. The CAT 6A standard supports these speeds, so there’s no need to replace the wiring if it’s already CAT 6A.

For an effective office site survey, it’s recommended to: A. Use a battery pack to power APs - This allows for mobility and testing in various locations without relying on fixed power sources. B. Use a drawing of the office space to mark AP and client placements - This helps in planning the optimal locations for AP installation. F. Use APs with built-in antennas - They are commonly used for site surveys as they represent the typical deployment scenario.
