Question 440
During a planned campus-network change at a public library in Portland, operators discover that a mobility test shows reassociation delay across multiple adjacent AP cells with otherwise sound wired paths. The design must preserve staff and visitor wireless access. Which post-change observation is the strongest acceptance evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This observation tests the Client steering and roaming design requirement at a public library in Portland. The expected result is that mobile clients move across AP cells with acceptable roam times and remain on an appropriate band without repeated disconnects. The necessary correction is to validate supported client roaming assistance and band or cell steering while retaining realistic RF overlap and compatible client behavior; a saved configuration alone would not prove it is working. In this case, the observed fault is that a mobility test shows reassociation delay across multiple adjacent AP cells with otherwise sound wired paths.
Incorrect Answers
At a public library in Portland, the observation may be useful for a separate Wireless client capacity and airtime fairness test, but it does not establish that a mobility test shows reassociation delay across multiple adjacent AP cells with otherwise sound wired paths has been resolved. The relevant check is the Client steering and roaming design outcome.
At a public library in Portland, this would verify AirMatch RF power and channel optimization, not the failure reported in this scenario. The requested closure criterion instead concerns Client steering and roaming design: mobile clients move across AP cells with acceptable roam times and remain on an appropriate band without repeated disconnects.
At a public library in Portland, the observation may be useful for a separate Wireless guest policy and isolation test, but it does not establish that a mobility test shows reassociation delay across multiple adjacent AP cells with otherwise sound wired paths has been resolved. The relevant check is the Client steering and roaming design outcome.
