Exam 300-110 Topic 1 Question 70 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-110 exam
Question #: 70
Topic #: 1
An engineer is performing an AP-on-a-stick survey and finds that the 5 GHz channel overlap is too high when an appropriate number of APs are used for the density requirements. Which two actions during the survey reduce channel overlap? (Choose two.)

Suggested Answer: A,D Vote an answer

Raising the minimum data rate to 24 Mbps reduces the effective coverage range of each AP because clients at the cell edge operating at low data rates are effectively excluded from the cell. This shrinks cell size, reducing channel overlap between neighboring APs on the same channel. Using directional antennas limits the coverage area of some APs by focusing RF energy in specific directions rather than radiating omnidirectionally, which directly reduces the lateral overlap between adjacent APs. Increasing AP transmit power (Option B) would worsen overlap, not reduce it. Allowing UNII-2e channels (Option C) provides more channel options but does not reduce the physical cell overlap - it only provides more channels to avoid co- channel interference. Power saving mode (Option E) is a client-side power management feature unrelated to AP cell sizing during a survey.
