To design a wireless network that will support a specific 5-GHz wireless phone, it's essential to have the radio specifications for the client device. The radio specifications help to determine which configuration settings will be suitable for the wireless network to operate efficiently. Without the client device radio specifications, it may be challenging to make informed decisions on certain network configuration settings.
Of the options given, there are three network configuration settings that can be configured before obtaining the radio specifications: band select, WMM queue selection, and channel width. These are discussed in more detail below:
A. Band select: This refers to the ability of the wireless network to select the frequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) on which it operates. It is possible to configure the wireless network to operate only on the 5 GHz band, regardless of the client device radio specifications.
B. WMM queue selection: This setting prioritizes the network traffic based on the type of data being transmitted. For example, voice traffic can be given a higher priority than data traffic. This setting can be configured regardless of the client device radio specifications.
D. Channel width: This refers to the amount of spectrum used for transmitting data. It is possible to configure the wireless network to use a specific channel width, such as 20 MHz or 40 MHz, regardless of the client device radio specifications.
C. DCA channel list: This setting determines the channels that the wireless network can use for transmitting data. It is not possible to configure this setting before obtaining the client device radio specifications. The client device radio specifications will help to determine which channels the wireless network can use to avoid interference and ensure optimal performance.
In summary, the only network configuration setting that cannot be configured before obtaining the radio specifications of the client device is the DCA channel list. The other settings such as band select, WMM queue selection, and channel width can be configured without the client device radio specifications.
