Question

A global furniture retail company called ‘No-Stair Inc.’ requests you design their new WLAN infrastructure for a global footprint. Each location of ‘No-Stair Inc." has a similar layout: three small manager offices, a warehouse, and a ‘retail’ area. The ‘retail’ area and the warehouse together amount to 95% of the location. The IT department of the company is minimally engaged in their LAN refresh so the CTO of the company has shared the information below. Current WLAN Infrastructure is based on the 802.11n “WIFI4Less” access-points series (both model 2013-INT (2.4 only internal antenna) and model 2019-EXT (dual-band external antenna only). These AP models are standalone without any centralized management. Last year 'No-Stair Inc.’ ran a project called ‘secure-it’ ensuring that all needed network security was implemented to be fully compliant with their security standards. During this project, they also upgraded the AAA. Infrastructure to handle the increased AAA requests. No additional Wi-Fi or security requirements are listed for this WLAN refresh, which means that ‘No-Stair Inc.’ will continue to use bridged SSIDs, with local breakout into different VLANs. The CTO of ‘No-Stair Inc.’ understands the need for you to ask additional questions to deliver the design. The questions may be sent in written form and will be answered within two weeks. What is a possible constraint?

Options

  • ADoes the existing core switch support an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?
  • BDoes the existing WAN infrastructure support an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?
  • CDoes the existing wired network support enough PoE for an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?
  • DDoes the existing AAA infrastructure support an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?

Explanation

Because the WLAN will continue using bridged SSIDs with local VLAN breakout, all Wi-Fi traffic depends directly on the existing core switching infrastructure. If the current core switch cannot handle the increased load or capabilities of the new Wi-Fi design, this becomes a fixed design limitation - a constraint.
