You are deploying a WLAN monitoring solution that utilizes distributed sensor devices. Where should sensors be deployed for best results? Choose the single best answer.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Sensors should be deployed in critical areas where WLAN performance must be high for best results when using a WLAN monitoring solution that utilizes distributed sensor devices. A WLAN monitoring solution is a system that collects, analyzes, and reports on the status and performance of a WLAN. A WLAN monitoring solution can use different methods to gather data from the WLAN, such as embedded software agents, external hardware probes, or distributed sensor devices. Distributed sensor devices are dedicated devices that are deployed throughout the WLAN coverage area to monitor the wireless traffic and environment. Distributed sensor devices can perform various functions, such as scanning the spectrum, capturing wireless frames, measuring signal quality, detecting rogue access points, testing connectivity, and generating alerts. Distributed sensor devices can provide more accurate and comprehensive data than other methods, but they also require more planning and deployment costs. Therefore, it is important to deploy sensors strategically in critical areas where WLAN performance must be high, such as high-density zones, high-priority applications, or high-security locations. By deploying sensors in critical areas, the WLAN monitoring solution can ensure optimal WLAN performance and reliability in those areas and identify and resolve any issues or problems that may arise. The other options are not the best places to deploy sensors for best results. Deploying sensors in switching closets is not effective because sensors need to be close to the wireless medium to monitor it properly. Deploying sensors every 5 meters and alongside each AP is not efficient because sensors may overlap or interfere with each other and cause unnecessary redundancy or complexity.Deploying sensors above the plenum on each floor is not practical because sensors may not capture the wireless traffic and environment accurately due to attenuation or reflection from the ceiling materials or objects.Reference:CWNA-109 Study Guide, Chapter 14: Troubleshooting Wireless LANs, page 4831

I don't know, D could work too if the plenum is accessible.

I remember something about deploying sensors near access points for better coverage, but I'm not sure if every 5 meters is necessary.

I'm pretty confident that option D is the way to go here. Placing the sensors above the plenum on each floor will give us the broadest coverage and visibility across the entire deployment.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I think the best approach is to place the sensors alongside each AP, as described in option B. That way we can get a comprehensive view of the entire WLAN environment.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option C, placing the sensors in critical areas where WLAN performance is most important. That way we can really monitor the key parts of the network.

This seems pretty straightforward. I'd go with the 200 concurrent licenses of Horizon 7 since that matches the number of employees and the 8-hour shift requirement.
