300-430 Question 270
Single answerA network administrator is using Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) to monitor and manage a wireless network deployment. They notice that certain APs are consistently reporting high client counts during specific hours of the day. The administrator wants to identify usage trends and determine whether additional APs are necessary to offload traffic in these areas. Which feature of Cisco Prime Infrastructure should the administrator use to achieve this?
- A
Capacity Planning
- B
Client Location Tracking
- C
Application Visibility and Control (AVC)
- D
Rogue AP Detection
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Capacity Planning in Cisco Prime Infrastructure is designed to help network administrators analyze usage trends and predict future network demands. It provides insights into current client distribution and helps determine whether additional APs are needed to balance the load and improve network performance.
- A. Correct.
Capacity Planning is the correct feature for identifying usage trends and determining if additional APs are required, as it provides data on network demand and helps predict future needs.
- B. Incorrect.
Client Location Tracking focuses on tracking the physical location of wireless clients, which is not relevant to addressing high client counts or capacity planning.
- C. Incorrect.
Application Visibility and Control (AVC) is used to monitor and optimize application performance on the network but does not provide insights into usage trends or AP capacity issues.
- D. Incorrect.
Rogue AP Detection is used to identify unauthorized access points in the network, which is unrelated to addressing high client counts or capacity planning.
