300-425 Question 102
Select 3An enterprise is planning to implement location-based services (LBS) in their new office building to track wireless devices in real-time. The IT team has deployed a Cisco wireless network with several access points (APs) and a Cisco DNA Center. Which of the following steps are necessary to enable location services in the Cisco DNA Center?
- A
Ensure access points are configured in monitor mode for enhanced location accuracy.
- B
Enable location services in the Cisco DNA Center under the 'Settings' section.
- C
Deploy at least three access points per coverage area for triangulation.
- D
Integrate Cisco DNA Spaces with Cisco DNA Center to enhance location analytics.
- E
Configure Cisco DNA Center to use the default location calculation algorithm without additional integration.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To implement location services in Cisco DNA Center, the IT team must ensure access points are in monitor mode for enhanced location accuracy, deploy at least three APs per coverage area to enable triangulation, and integrate Cisco DNA Spaces to provide advanced location analytics. These steps ensure the system can deliver real-time and accurate location tracking for enterprise requirements.
- A. Correct.
Access points in monitor mode improve location accuracy by dedicating their resources to scanning and location tracking rather than serving client traffic. This is a required step for enhanced location services.
- B. Incorrect.
Location services are not enabled directly under the 'Settings' section of Cisco DNA Center. Instead, configurations are made through workflows and integration with location-specific tools like Cisco DNA Spaces.
- C. Correct.
To enable accurate triangulation for location services, a minimum of three access points per coverage area is required. This ensures the system can calculate precise positions using signal strength and timing information.
- D. Correct.
Cisco DNA Spaces integration enhances location analytics and provides additional insights such as device paths, heatmaps, and user behavior. This is a critical step for advanced location services.
- E. Incorrect.
Using the default location calculation algorithm without further integration limits the capabilities of the system. It does not provide the enhanced accuracy or analytics required for enterprise-grade location services.
