A rapidly expanding company has tasked their network engineer with wirelessly connecting a new cubicle area with Cisco workgroup bridges until the wired network is complete. Each of 42 new users has a computer and VoIP phone. How many APs for workgroup bridging must be ordered to keep cost at a minimum while connecting all devices?
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
Configuring Workgroup Bridges
There is a limitation of 20 clients in the WGB. The 20-client limitation includes both wired and wireless
clients.
Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, Release 8.8
The answer is C.
1 RAP and 5 MAPs are needed. (6 total APs)
“There is a limitation of 20 clients in the WGB. The 20-client limitation includes both wired and wireless
clients. If the WGB is talking to autonomous access points, then the client limit is very high. “ on page 137 in Cisco_Wireless_Mesh_AP_Design_and_Deployment_Guide_8.8
“There is no current software limitation on how many MAPs per RAP you can configure. However, it is
suggested that you limit the number to 20 MAPs per RAP.” On page 41 in Cisco_Wireless_Mesh_AP_Design_and_Deployment_Guide_8.8
It’s 5. Workgroup bridges support 20 cliens maximum. 4 would not suffice to provide a connection to 84 users at the same time.
Oh wow thanks for the gotcha! I was always only looking at the “42” number, but indeed since it mentions computer + voIP, you need to double it. Cheers mate!
