After installation of a new data-only wireless network, an engineer found that RRM has set all of the APs to a power level of 1. Which option describes the reason for this?

Question

Options

• AAPs are too far apart for the set data rates.
• BEDRRM is enabled.
• CAPs should be manually set initially.
• DTPC needs to be enabled.
• EDTPC value is set too high.
• FHigh co-channel interference exists.

• A
  80% (37)
• B
  9% (4)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  2% (1)
• F
  7% (3)

Explanation

In Cisco's RRM (Radio Resource Management), power level 1 represents the maximum transmit power. When RRM sets all APs to power level 1, it indicates that the APs are not hearing neighbors at sufficient signal strength - meaning the APs are spaced too far apart relative to the configured minimum data rates. RRM raises power to try to maintain the required overlap and coverage. This is a design issue: if APs are placed too far apart, even maximum power may not provide adequate cell overlap. Co-channel interference (F) would cause RRM to reduce power, not increase it to maximum.
