Question 490
At a design studio in Berlin, engineers report that the RF signal is strong but the AP uplink is rate-limited by an unexpected switch setting. The work affects wireless workstations and video conferences. Which test result most directly confirms the required behavior?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This observation tests the AP uplink and client address dependencies requirement at a design studio in Berlin. The expected result is that the AP remains managed and client association, lease acquisition and application access succeed over the intended VLAN path. The necessary correction is to check AP management connectivity, switch port VLAN/PoE settings, DHCP services and the client path before changing RF-only settings; a saved configuration alone would not prove it is working. In this case, the observed fault is that the RF signal is strong but the AP uplink is rate-limited by an unexpected switch setting.
Incorrect Answers
At a design studio in Berlin, this would verify Wireless client capacity and airtime fairness, not the failure reported in this scenario. The requested closure criterion instead concerns AP uplink and client address dependencies: the AP remains managed and client association, lease acquisition and application access succeed over the intended VLAN path.
At a design studio in Berlin, the observation may be useful for a separate Wireless site survey and AP placement test, but it does not establish that the RF signal is strong but the AP uplink is rate-limited by an unexpected switch setting has been resolved. The relevant check is the AP uplink and client address dependencies outcome.
At a design studio in Berlin, this measures a different network requirement, Client steering and roaming design. The case describes that the RF signal is strong but the AP uplink is rate-limited by an unexpected switch setting, so accepting this result would leave the primary fault without direct verification.
