Wireless client roaming decisions are made by the client device based on its own criteria, such as signal strength, noise level, data rate, etc. The network can influence the client's roaming decision by providing information such as neighbor reports, load balancing, band steering, etc., but the final decision is up to the client. Reference: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Instant_86_WebHelp/Content/instant-ug/wlan-roaming/client-roaming.htm
Wireless client roaming decisions are primarily made by the client device itself. The client device monitors the signal strength and quality of the current connection and decides to roam to a different Access Point (AP) when the current signal deteriorates below a certain threshold or a better option is available. While APs and controllers can provide information and support for roaming decisions through protocols like 802.11k and 802.11v, the ultimate decision to roam is made by the client device based on its algorithms and thresholds.
Question 2
The noise floor measures 000000001 milliwatts, and the receiver's signal strength is -65dBm. What is the Signal to Noise Ratio?
Answer : D
The signal to noise ratio (SNR) is a measure that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. SNR is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power, often expressed in decibels (dB).A high SNR means that the signal is clear and easy to detect or interpret, while a low SNR means that the signal is corrupted or obscured by noise and may be difficult to distinguish or recover3. To calculate the SNR in dB, we can use the following formula:
SNR (dB) = Signal power (dBm) - Noise power (dBm)
In this question, we are given that the noise floor measures -90 dBm (0.000000001 milliwatts) and the receiver's signal strength is -65 dBm (0.000316 milliwatts). Therefore, we can plug these values into the formula and get:
Therefore, the correct answer is that the SNR is 25 dBm.
Question 3
Based on the "snow ip route" output on an AruDaCX 8400. what type of route is "10.1 20 0/24, vrf default via 10.1.12.2. [1/0]"?
Answer : B
A static route is a route that is manually configured on a router or switch and does not change unless it is modified by an administrator. Static routes are used to specify how traffic should reach specific destinations that are not directly connected to the device or that are not reachable by dynamic routing protocols. In Aruba CX switches, static routes can be configured using the ip route command in global configuration mode. Based on the ''show ip route'' output on an Aruba CX 8400 switch, the route ''10.1 20 0/24, vrf default via 10.1.12.2, [1/0]'' is a static route because it has an administrative distance of 1 and a metric of 0, which are typical values for static routes.

Question 4
Which statement is correct when comparing 5 GHz and 6 GHz channels with identical channel widths?
Answer : D
While both 5 GHz and 6 GHz channels can provide similar throughputs, the higher frequency of the 6 GHz band means its signals have a shorter range and are more attenuated by obstacles compared to 5 GHz signals. This results in 5 GHz channels generally being able to travel longer distances than 6 GHz channels under similar conditions, although both can support high data rates for connected clients.
Question 5
When measuring signal strength, dBm is commonly used and 0 dBm corresponds to 1 mW power.
What does -20 dBm correspond to?
Answer : B
dBm is a unit of power that measures the ratio of a given power level to 1 mW. The formula to convert dBm to mW is: P(mW) = 1mW * 10^(P(dBm)/10). Therefore, -20 dBm corresponds to 0.01 mW, as follows: P(mW) = 1mW * 10^(-20/10) = 0.01 mW Reference: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/dBm_to_mW.html
The dBm is a logarithmic unit of power relative to 1 milliwatt (mW). -20 dBm means that the signal strength is 20 decibels lower than 1 mW. In terms of mW, this is 0.01 mW. Each 10 dB decrease represents a tenfold decrease in power. Therefore, -20 dBm is 102102 or 0.01 mW.
Question 6
You need to troubleshoot an Aruba CX 6200 4-node VSF stack switch that fails to boot correctly Select the option that allows you to access the switch and see the boot options available for OS images and ServiceOS.
Answer : A
To troubleshoot an Aruba CX 6200 switch that is failing to boot correctly, accessing the switch via the RJ-45 console port on any of its member switches provides direct access to the switch's console for troubleshooting. This method allows a network technician to interact with the boot process, view boot messages, and access boot options, including the selection of different OS images or ServiceOS for recovery purposes.
Question 7
What does the status of "ALFOE" mean when checking LACP with "show lacp interfaces'"?
Answer : B
When checking the status of LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) with the command 'show lacp interfaces,' various flags indicate the state of the LACP negotiation. 'ALFOE' indicates different states for each letter: A (Activity), L (Link), F (Aggregation), O (Synchronization), and E (Collecting). In this context, the O flag is particularly of interest. If the O flag is not set (meaning the synchronization is not achieved), it typically suggests that LACP is not configured or not functioning correctly on the peer side, hence the link is not operational as part of an LACP channel.
