300-430 Question 266
Single answerA network administrator is configuring a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to support a high-density deployment in a conference center. The administrator needs to ensure proper client load balancing across multiple access points (APs) in the same area. Which feature on the WLC should the administrator enable to achieve this objective?
- A
Band Select
- B
Client Load Balancing
- C
Airtime Fairness
- D
Fast SSID Change
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Client Load Balancing is a feature on the Cisco WLC that helps distribute wireless clients evenly across multiple access points in high-density deployments. By enabling this feature, the WLC can prevent specific access points from becoming overloaded while others remain underutilized, ensuring optimal performance and client experience.
- A. Incorrect.
Band Select is used to steer dual-band clients to the less congested 5 GHz band. While it improves performance, it does not directly manage client load balancing across multiple APs.
- B. Correct.
Client Load Balancing is the correct feature to ensure that the WLC distributes clients evenly across multiple APs in high-density environments, preventing overloading of a single AP.
- C. Incorrect.
Airtime Fairness ensures that all clients, regardless of their connection speeds, get a fair amount of airtime. While useful, it does not address load balancing across APs.
- D. Incorrect.
Fast SSID Change allows clients to roam between SSIDs faster but has no role in balancing clients across multiple APs.
