A customer would like to configure 25% of the access points on a floor to exclusively conduct spectrum analysis functions. What mode will the access points have to be configured in order to achieve this request?
A. Local Mode
B. Monitor mode
C. SE-Connect mode
D. SC-Connect mode
CleanAir checks the spectrum.
Turning an AP into monitor mode on any AP in the last 10 years has it checking the spectrum. Design also states that every 1/4 AP should be put into monitor mode for good design.
Do you know how fucking stupid it would be to turn every fourth AP into SE-Connect? The programs it connects to only checks one AP at a time.
Reference from OCG:
SE-Connect—The LAP dedicates its radios to spectrum analysis on all wireless channels.
You can remotely connect a PC running software such as MetaGeek Chanalyzer or Cisco
Spectrum Expert to the LAP to collect and analyze the spectrum analysis data to discover
sources of interference.
Monitor—The LAP does not transmit at all, but its receiver is enabled to act as a dedicated
sensor. The LAP checks for IDS events, detects rogue access points, and determines
the position of stations through location-based services (LBS).
