When a post-installation audit is performed with an auditing tool such as Ekahau, which three steps are associated with the passive portion of the audit? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• ACheck that you have adequate signal levels as surveyed
• BMake sure you emulate your customer client
• CCheck for co-channel interference
• DVerify that the network traffic of physical data rate and packer loss meets user requirements
• ESurvey by SSID to ensure roaming is taking place
• FVerify AP announced data rate coverage

• A
  89% (33)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  5% (2)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

A passive survey involves the survey tool listening to existing RF traffic without generating any test traffic itself. Checking adequate signal levels (A), checking for co-channel interference (C), and verifying AP announced data rate coverage (F) are all passive observations - the tool captures beacons and ambient frames to measure RSSI, noise, and channel utilization without injecting traffic. Emulating a customer client (B) is an active technique requiring the surveyor's device to associate and generate traffic. Verifying network throughput and packet loss (D) requires active data transmission. Surveying by SSID to confirm roaming (E) requires association and movement testing, which is also an active process.
