A. B. C. D.D.
When conducting a Layer 1 site survey, the goal is to identify any sources of non-Wi-Fi interference that could affect the performance of the wireless network. In this scenario, the engineer is using a Cisco AIR-2702i AP to perform the survey and wants to use Metageek Chanalyzer to discover non-Wi-Fi interference.
The correct mode to select for the AP to work with Metageek Chanalyzer is the "Sniffer" mode. This mode allows the AP to passively listen to all radio frequency (RF) activity on the selected channel(s) without transmitting any data. The collected data is then passed to the Metageek Chanalyzer for analysis.
The other answer options are not applicable for this scenario.
- Monitor mode is used for wireless packet capture and analysis, but it does not provide information about non-Wi-Fi interference.
- FlexConnect is a Cisco feature that allows APs to maintain some functionality in the event of a WAN link failure, but it is not related to site survey or interference analysis.
- SE-Connect is not a recognized mode for Cisco APs and is not applicable for this scenario.
In summary, the engineer should select "Sniffer" mode for the Cisco AIR-2702i AP when conducting a Layer 1 site survey to discover non-Wi-Fi interference using Metageek Chanalyzer.
