[All HPE7-A01 Questions]

What is true regarding 802.11k?

AIt extends radio measurements to define mechanisms for wireless network management of stations

BIt reduces roaming delay by pre-authenticating clients with multiple target APs before a client roams to an AP

CIt provides mechanisms for APs and clients to dynamically measure the available radio resources.

DIt considers several metrics before it determines if a client should be steered to the 5GHz band, including client RSSI

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

802.11k is a standard that provides mechanisms for APs and clients to dynamically measure the available radio resources in a wireless network. 802.11k defines radio resource management (RRM) functions, such as neighbor reports, link measurement, beacon reports, etc., that allow APs and clients to exchange information about the RF environment and make better roaming decisions. The other options are incorrect because they describe other standards, such as 802.11r, 802.11v, or 802.11ax.

I think option D is correct because I remember discussing how client RSSI affects band steering decisions in class.

I definitely recall that 802.11k helps with measurements, but I can't remember if it specifically involves steering clients to different bands.

I feel like option B sounds familiar from practice questions, but I thought that was more related to 802.11r.

I remember studying 802.11k, and I think it has something to do with managing radio resources, but I'm not sure if that's the main focus.
