What are two advantages of conducting an active survey versus a passive survey when verifying RF coverage? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. verifies roaming C. verifies packet loss. An active survey requires the surveying device to associate with the wireless network as a client, enabling it to send and receive actual data frames. This allows it to verify roaming behavior (A) - confirming clients can seamlessly transition between APs - and verify packet…

Explanation
An active survey requires the surveying device to associate with the wireless network as a client, enabling it to send and receive actual data frames. This allows it to verify roaming behavior (A) - confirming clients can seamlessly transition between APs - and verify packet loss (C) - confirming data integrity at various locations. A passive survey only listens to beacon/probe frames without associating, making it well-suited for measuring signal level (B), SNR (D), and identifying interferers (E), but it cannot test actual roaming events or measure real packet loss since no data exchange occurs.
