Question 880
A voice WLAN introduces rapid roaming requirements, but the configuration has no support for the client-compatible 802.11r fast transition mechanism. Which first diagnostic check is most useful before changing the network?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This check collects evidence at the layer implicated by the symptom: repeated full key exchanges during roaming can add latency beyond voice application tolerance. Examine the evidence before choosing the corrective change.
Incorrect Answers
This would be a reasonable check when a deployment reports high AP client counts but users complain about slow uploads during busy classes, but is less direct for the issue at hand: repeated full key exchanges during roaming can add latency beyond voice application tolerance.
This would be a reasonable check when a video conference room's clients show low RSSI but good signal-to-noise ratio only near the door; the meeting area itself is below the survey target, but is less direct for the issue at hand: repeated full key exchanges during roaming can add latency beyond voice application tolerance.
This would be a reasonable check when a location-aware application cannot find good roam candidates although coverage overlaps because neighbor information is missing, but is less direct for the issue at hand: repeated full key exchanges during roaming can add latency beyond voice application tolerance.
