The planning mode in Cisco WCS (Wireless Control System) is a tool used for designing and planning a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) deployment in a new building. The planning mode allows network administrators to create a coverage proposal based on specific requirements and factors, such as traffic type, location accuracy, number of users, and square footage.

Let's take a closer look at each statement and evaluate their accuracy:

A. Planning mode calculates the necessary number of APs, based on traffic type on the network, location accuracy requirements, number of users, and number of users per square footage.

  • This statement is true. The planning mode takes into consideration various factors when calculating the required number of APs for a given space.

B. In the advanced options, the Aggressive option generates more APs to cover the floor area, whereas the Very safe option generates a proposal with fewer APs to cover the same area.

  • This statement is also true. The planning mode provides advanced options that allow administrators to choose between more aggressive or conservative coverage proposals.

C. Walls that are defined in the floor map are used or accounted for in the planning mode calculation.

  • This statement is true. The planning mode uses the floor map of the building, which includes walls and other physical obstacles, to determine the ideal placement of APs and calculate the required number of APs for a given space.

D. Users can specify a particular model of Cisco AP, antenna, and throughput for the planning mode calculation.

  • This statement is false. In the planning mode, administrators cannot specify a particular model of Cisco AP, antenna, or throughput for the calculation. The planning mode uses default values for APs, antennas, and throughput, and administrators can only adjust the advanced settings to generate different coverage proposals.

In summary, statements A, B, and C are true, while statement D is false.
