300-430 Question 104
Single answerAn enterprise is deploying a location-based service to track assets in a warehouse using Cisco DNA Spaces. The IT team is configuring the system to provide real-time asset location updates. Which key component must be configured to accurately determine the location of assets?
- A
Access points should be placed at consistent intervals to provide adequate signal triangulation.
- B
The Cisco DNA Center must be configured to integrate directly with client devices.
- C
Enable 802.1X authentication on all wireless clients.
- D
Configure the access points to operate in Local Mode for best performance.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To implement location services effectively, access points must be strategically placed to ensure adequate signal triangulation. This allows the Cisco system to calculate asset locations accurately using RSSI measurements and other data. Other configurations, such as authentication methods or operating modes like Local Mode, do not directly impact location accuracy.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Accurate asset location in Cisco location services relies on proper placement of access points to allow for signal triangulation, which is critical for determining precise locations.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While Cisco DNA Center can be used for management, it does not directly integrate with client devices for location determination.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. 802.1X authentication is a security feature and does not directly impact the accuracy of location tracking.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Local Mode is not ideal for location services, as Monitor Mode or Hyperlocation Mode is more suitable for triangulation and tracking.
