MR Wireless Access Points and RF Flashcards

What is the maximum number of SSIDs that can be configured per Meraki MR access point?

Answer: 15

Meraki MR access points support up to 15 SSIDs per AP, though best practice recommends limiting active SSIDs to reduce overhead.

Which Meraki feature allows an SSID to be automatically enabled or disabled based on a defined time schedule?

Answer: SSID availability schedule

SSID availability schedules in Meraki allow administrators to specify days and times when an SSID will broadcast, useful for limiting guest access to business hours.

In Meraki wireless, what is a 'Splash Page' primarily used for?

Answer: Presenting a web portal to users before granting network access (captive portal)

A Splash Page is a captive portal that intercepts unauthenticated users and requires them to complete an action (accept ToS, authenticate, etc.) before accessing the network.

What Meraki MR capability provides seamless wireless roaming by allowing APs to coordinate client handoffs using 802.11r?

Answer: Fast BSS Transition (FT) / 802.11r

Meraki supports 802.11r Fast BSS Transition, which reduces roaming latency by pre-establishing security keys before a client completes the handoff to a new AP.

Which Meraki MR feature limits the bandwidth available to individual wireless clients to prevent any single user from consuming excessive resources?

Answer: Per-client bandwidth limits

Per-client bandwidth limits in Meraki allow administrators to cap the upload and download throughput for each individual wireless client on an SSID.

What does the Meraki dashboard's 'Wireless Health' feature provide?

Answer: Aggregated metrics on association failures, DHCP failures, and DNS failures across the wireless network

Wireless Health aggregates data across all APs to identify systemic issues like high association failure rates, DHCP timeouts, and DNS resolution problems.
