As an implementation engineer, you have just received initial design specs from a network designer for your dual-band 802.11n deployment. The network design
documents prescribe the following data rate configuration for the 2.4 GHz radio:
Basic Rates — 5.5, 6, 11, 12 Mbps
Supported Rates —9, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps as well as MCS 0-15
What will result from this design strategy?
A.
By disabling support for 1 and 2 Mbps while allowing 5.5 and 11 Mbps, the network will force 802.11b clients to use these higher data rates.
B.
Protection mechanisms will always be in use on this network to support 5.5 and 11 Mbps as basic rates.
C.
HR/DSSS (802.11b) stations will not be able to associate to the service set.
D.
This configuration violates the IEEE specification that defines 6, 12, and 24 Mbps as mandatory data rates for 802.11g/n.
