A customer has determined that aesthetics is a primary concern for their upcoming guest deployment. Which design consideration can be leveraged to address this concern?
The correct answer is B. Use enclosures to hide the wireless infrastructure in the surrounding environment. When aesthetics is the primary concern for a guest deployment, using enclosures allows wireless infrastructure to be concealed within the environment without altering or damaging the hardware.

Why each option
When aesthetics is the primary concern for a guest deployment, using enclosures allows wireless infrastructure to be concealed within the environment without altering or damaging the hardware.
Painting an access point may partially obscure the LED but does not hide the physical hardware and can void the warranty or impair thermal performance.
Cisco offers purpose-built AP enclosures designed to integrate access points into ceilings, walls, or furniture, making them visually unobtrusive. These enclosures maintain proper ventilation and RF performance while satisfying aesthetic requirements. This is the standard Cisco design recommendation for deployments where visibility of wireless hardware must be minimized.
The AIR-AP-BRACKET-1 is a mounting bracket that expands installation location options but does not conceal the AP from view.
Environmentally friendly cabling may blend cable runs into surroundings but does not address the visibility of the access point hardware itself.
