Pearson 300-425 New Attempt

 To ensure that the most critical APs at remote sites remain functional in the event of a failure, the Global AP Failover Priority feature can be used. By setting the priority of the most important APs to “critical”, these APs will be given precedence over others during a failover scenario. This allows the engineer to prioritize which APs should remain online without impacting the main site’s APs, which are set to a “high” priority.

 The issue described is indicative of a hidden node problem, where MAP-1 and MAP-3 cannot hear each other’s transmissions but can both communicate with RAP-2. This leads to frame collisions as both MAPs may attempt to transmit at the same time, unaware of the other’s actions. The design needs to address this by implementing mechanisms such as RTS/CTS or adjusting the placement of the APs to avoid this issue.

To address the sticky client problem, setting an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) threshold can help. This configuration will prompt clients to roam to a better AP when their signal strength falls below the set threshold, thus enhancing the roaming experience and ensuring clients are connected to the AP with the strongest signal available.

Voice over wireless roaming is sensitive to delays and interruptions. Full reauthentication, as mentioned in option A, can cause noticeable gaps in a voice conversation because it requires time to re-establish security credentials. This process can interrupt the seamless experience expected in voice communications. Option E is also correct because roaming with only 802.1x authentication indeed requires full reauthentication, which can introduce significant delays affecting voice quality. References: For more detailed information, refer to the CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide.
