An engineer observes high usage on the 2.4GHz channels and lower usage (CCNA 200-301)
An engineer observes high usage on the 2.4GHz channels and lower usage on the 5GHz channels. What must be configured to allow clients to preferentially use 5GHz access points?
A) Client Band Select.
B) Re-Anchor Roamed Clients.
C) OEAP Spilt Tunnel.
D) 11ac MU-MIMO.
Solution
Correct answer: A) Client Band Select.
Client Band Select is a feature that encourages dual-band capable clients to connect to the 5GHz band rather than the more congested 2.4GHz band when both are available. This feature assists in optimizing the network performance by distributing clients across both frequency bands and leveraging the advantages of the less crowded 5GHz spectrum.
Options B, C, and D are not specifically designed to influence client preference for 5GHz over 2.4GHz:
Re-Anchor Roamed Clients deals with client roaming and ensuring seamless transitions between access points while maintaining connectivity.
OEAP Split Tunnel refers to the feature that allows some traffic to pass through the VPN tunnel while directing other traffic directly to the internet, which doesn't impact client band preference.
11ac MU-MIMO is a technology enhancing the efficiency of wireless connections by allowing multiple devices to communicate simultaneously but doesn't inherently steer clients toward the 5GHz band.
