Wireless Controller

Due to an increase in wireless demand, 50 additional access points were installed as part of an expansion project.

Each device was configured and managed separately, working with its own configuration.

Which of the following network devices would assist the network team with reducing complexity and enforcing policies on the WLAN?

A.

Wireless controller

B.

Wireless range extender

C.

Wireless load balancer

D.

Wireless analyzer.

A.

The network team could benefit from implementing a wireless controller to manage the large number of access points that were added to the network.

A wireless controller is a network device that can centralize the management and configuration of multiple access points, which can help reduce complexity and improve overall network performance. With a wireless controller, the network team can enforce policies such as security protocols, quality of service, and bandwidth allocation across the entire WLAN.

Wireless range extenders are devices used to increase the coverage area of a wireless network. They do not assist with managing and configuring multiple access points or enforcing policies.

A wireless load balancer is used to distribute network traffic evenly across multiple servers or access points. While this can improve performance and availability, it does not necessarily help with managing and configuring the access points themselves.

A wireless analyzer is a tool used to troubleshoot and analyze wireless network performance. While it can be helpful in identifying and resolving issues, it does not provide centralized management or policy enforcement for multiple access points.
