What are three environmental characteristics that affect the campus network design? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• Adistribution of users
• BPC operating system
• Ctransmission media characteristics
• Dlocations of wiring closets
• Eremote-site connectivity

• A
  95% (20)
• E
  5% (1)

Explanation

A (distribution of users), C (transmission media characteristics), and D (locations of wiring closets) are correct because they directly shape the physical and logical layout of a campus network. Where users are clustered determines how to segment and distribute network resources. Transmission media characteristics (e.g., fiber vs. copper, max cable run distances) constrain how far signals can travel and what speeds are achievable. Wiring closet locations define where switches and patch panels are placed, which drives the entire physical topology.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (PC operating system): The OS is managed at the endpoint level and has no bearing on how you design the physical/logical campus infrastructure.
• E (remote-site connectivity): This is a WAN design concern, not a campus (LAN) design characteristic - campus design focuses on the local physical environment.

Memory tip: Think "Where are the people, where are the wires, and how far can the signal go?" - that maps directly to A (users), D (wiring closets), and C (media). If a factor is about the building environment, it belongs; if it's about software or remote sites, it doesn't.
