You need to set up a Company AP to act as a wireless repeater. What are three
characteristics of this wireless repeater topology? (Select three)
A.
The recommended overlap of the access point on the wired LAN and the wireless
repeater is 25%.
B.
Autonomous access points are required.
C.
The SSID of the root access point must be configured on the repeater access point.
D.
The recommended overlap of the access point on the wired LAN and the wireless
repeater is 50%.
E.
Lightweight access points are required.
F.
The recommended overlap of the access point on the wired LAN and the wireless
repeater is 75%.
G.
The SSID of the root access point must be distinct from that of the repeater access
point.
Explanation:
Use APs in Repeater Mode
You can configure APs to act as repeaters. In this mode, the AP is not connected to the
wired LAN. Instead, the AP is placed within the radio range of the AP that is connected to
the wired LAN (the root AP). In this scenario, the repeater AP associates with the root AP,
and extends the range of the radio coverage area. This enables Wireless Clients that reside
away from the root AP to gain access to the WLAN network. You can configure either the 2.4
GHz radio or the 5 GHz radio as a repeater. In APs with two radios, only one radio can be a
repeater. You must configure the other radio as a root radio.
When you configure an AP as a repeater, the Ethernet port on that AP does not forward
traffic. The advantage with the repeater mode in APs is that this mode helps to extend the
radio coverage area of a WLAN in situations where connectivity to the wired LAN is not
possible. Also, there must be a fifty percent overlap in coverage area with the root AP for the
repeater mode to function.
Part of the configuration guide for setting up the wireless AP states:
In the next step, designate this SSID as an infrastructure SSID.
!— If you created an infrastructure SSID on the root AP,
!— create the same SSID on the repeater.http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps441/products_tech_note09186a008051
