Discuss RUCKUS RCWA Exam Topic 5 Question 2

Which three Application Policy Rules can be applied to a WLAN? (Choose three.)

Suggested Answer: A, B, D

An Application Policy in SmartZone defines actions applied to identified applications or categories of traffic traversing a WLAN. Using Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), RUCKUS APs recognize application types and enforce predefined behaviors.

According to RUCKUS One Online Help -- Application Policy Configuration, the supported rule actions include:

(A) QoS: Assigns priority levels to traffic (Voice, Video, Best Effort, Background) for latency and throughput management.

(B) Deny: Blocks specific applications or categories (e.g., streaming or gaming) to preserve network performance.

(D) Rate Limit: Restricts bandwidth available to defined applications, ensuring fair use of airtime and bandwidth resources.

Local Breakout and VLAN Assignment are functions of traffic forwarding and device policy, not application policy. URL filtering is managed under separate content control modules, not part of Application Policies.

VLAN Assignment is essential for network segmentation.

Brandon 6 months ago

Local Breakout is crucial for performance.

Charlie 6 months ago

Rate Limit makes sense for managing bandwidth.

Shannon 6 months ago

I’m leaning towards URL Filter as well.

Jolene 7 months ago

Agreed! Deny should be included too.

Clorinda 7 months ago

Not sure about C) URL Filter being that useful.

Willodean 7 months ago

Definitely A) QoS and F) VLAN Assignment.

Chanel 8 months ago

Surprised that Local Breakout isn't a choice!

Becky 8 months ago

I think B) Deny should be included too.

Thersa 8 months ago

URL Filter? Really? I thought that was more for web browsing, not wireless networks.

Stevie 8 months ago

Haha, who would choose "Deny" for a WLAN policy? That's just asking for trouble!

Elsa 8 months ago

Definitely need QoS and Rate Limit for a WLAN.

Anissa 8 months ago

I think E is also a valid option, but I'm not sure.

Rozella 9 months ago

A, D, and F are the correct answers.

Curtis 9 months ago

URL Filter sounds familiar too, but I’m not confident if it fits with the other two I picked.

Eliz 9 months ago

I feel like Local Breakout might be relevant, but I can't recall if it was specifically for WLANs.

Ammie 9 months ago

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think Deny was one of the choices. Could it be one of the answers?

Harrison 9 months ago

Hmm, let me think this through step-by-step. QoS and Rate Limit are clear WLAN policies, but I'm not sure about the others. I'll eliminate the ones I'm unsure of and focus on the top contenders.

Wade 9 months ago

Wait, I'm a bit confused. I thought URL Filter and Local Breakout might also be WLAN policy rules. I'll need to double-check my understanding.

Oneida 10 months ago

A) QoS, C) URL Filter, D) Rate Limit are the ones!

Paulina 10 months ago

I've got this! QoS, Rate Limit, and VLAN Assignment are the three policy rules that can be applied to a WLAN. I'm confident in that answer.

Dianne 10 months ago

I think QoS is definitely one of them.

Brett 10 months ago

I think QoS and Rate Limit are definitely options, but I'm not sure about the third one. Maybe VLAN Assignment?

Eleonora 11 months ago

Okay, let me see... I know QoS and Rate Limit are definitely related to WLANs, but I'm not sure about the others. I'll have to review my notes.

Earleen 11 months ago

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different policy rules and which ones apply to a WLAN.

URL Filter could be useful for content control.

Noel 5 months ago

↳ replying to Earleen

I’m not sure about Deny though.

Rodney 6 months ago

↳ replying to Earleen

What about Rate Limit? Seems relevant.

Elza 6 months ago

↳ replying to Earleen

I think QoS is definitely one of them.

Jospeh 10 months ago

↳ replying to Earleen

Yeah, and I’d go with VLAN Assignment too.
