Question 760
At a metropolitan office, an issue has been corrected: The WLAN administrator assumes every 802.11v transition suggestion automatically disassociates a reluctant client. Which repeatable control should the team add to prevent it from returning?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Test 802.11v behavior across actual client firmware before depending on steering. This repeatable safeguard addresses the mechanism—802.11v BSS transition mechanisms provide guidance that clients may not follow—and reduces the chance that the specific fault recurs.
Incorrect Answers
Baseline low-rate client dependencies before modifying basic-rate policies. This protects against another issue—a retail WLAN design uses one shared 802.11b basic-rate setting everywhere and then reports excessive airtime usage by low-rate devices—but is not the most direct prevention for the WLAN administrator assumes every 802.11v transition suggestion automatically disassociates a reluctant client.
Validate roaming thresholds with representative scanning devices during walk tests. This protects against another issue—a warehouse scanner clings to a weak distant AP while a nearby AP has better SNR—but is not the most direct prevention for the WLAN administrator assumes every 802.11v transition suggestion automatically disassociates a reluctant client.
Distinguish 802.11k neighbor assistance from client roaming policy in technical training. This protects against another issue—an engineer expects 802.11k neighbor reports to forcibly move a station to the closest AP—but is not the most direct prevention for the WLAN administrator assumes every 802.11v transition suggestion automatically disassociates a reluctant client.
