The correct answer is C. 802.11ac is backward compatible with 802.11a and 802.11n. IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 APs are backward compatible with 802.11a/n clients, allowing these devices to connect and communicate with the newer APs, albeit at their respective maximum supported speeds.
Question
An engineer must assess an existing company WLAN to determine the possibility for future IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless deployment. The existing WLAN is IEEE 802.11a/n and has IEEE 802.11n and 802. 11a clients. The engineer must advise the customer about support for these older clients on the new APs. What happens with client compatibility?
Options
- A802.11ac is backward compatible with 802.11n but not with 802.11a.
- B802.11ac is backward compatible with 802.11a but not with 802.11n.
- C802.11ac is backward compatible with 802.11a and 802.11n.
- D802.11ac is not backward compatible with 802.11a or 802.11n.
