Correct answers: B, E
Explanation
To enable advanced location services in Cisco DNA Spaces, integration with the platform is necessary, which typically involves an API key. Additionally, deploying at least three access points in the same area ensures accurate triangulation for location tracking. These steps help provide precise customer tracking and analytics for the retail store chain.
- A. Incorrect.
BLE beacons are not required for advanced location services in Cisco DNA Spaces. They are used in specific use cases like proximity-based notifications.
- B. Correct.
Integration with Cisco DNA Spaces via an API key is essential to enable advanced location services and analytics.
- C. Incorrect.
Configuring all access points with the same channel and power levels is not recommended, as it can lead to interference and reduce network performance.
- D. Incorrect.
RSSI-based location tracking is automatically handled by Cisco DNA Spaces and does not need to be manually enabled on the wireless controllers.
- E. Correct.
Deploying at least three access points in the same area is critical for triangulation, which improves location accuracy.
