Answer 1

Answer:

A small company is requesting a quote to refresh its wireless network. The company currently runs 60 autonomous APs and has plans to increase wireless density by 50% in the near future. The requirements state that the chosen solution should significantly decrease the management overhead of the current wireless network. The following should be recommended by the vendor in response to the quote request:

B. The use of autonomous APs with a wireless controller.

Explanation:

• The option A  and D are not correct as the use of lightweight APs are not required here because they are already using autonomous APs which are fulfilling their needs.
• The option B is correct as the use of autonomous APs with a wireless controller will allow them to decrease the management overhead as the wireless controller is used to manage the Access points in larger quantities.
• The option C is incorrect as the load balancers are used to increase the capacity and reliability of applications as they distribute the traffic over number of servers so it is unable to decrease the management overhead.
