ECMS MR Wireless Access Points and RF 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the maximum number of SSIDs that can be configured per Meraki MR access point?
- 4
- 8
- 15 (Correct answer)
- 32
Correct answer: 15
Meraki MR access points support up to 15 SSIDs per AP, though best practice recommends limiting active SSIDs to reduce overhead.
Question 2: Which Meraki feature allows an SSID to be automatically enabled or disabled based on a defined time schedule?
- SSID availability schedule (Correct answer)
- Auto RF power schedule
- AP reboot scheduler
- Splash page timeout
Correct 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.
Question 3: In Meraki wireless, what is a 'Splash Page' primarily used for?
- Displaying AP hardware status to admins
- Presenting a web portal to users before granting network access (captive portal) (Correct answer)
- Configuring SSID encryption settings
- Showing real-time RF spectrum analysis
Correct 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.
Question 4: What Meraki MR capability provides seamless wireless roaming by allowing APs to coordinate client handoffs using 802.11r?
- Band steering
- Fast BSS Transition (FT) / 802.11r (Correct answer)
- Load balancing
- Air Marshal
Correct 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.
Question 5: Which Meraki MR feature limits the bandwidth available to individual wireless clients to prevent any single user from consuming excessive resources?
- QoS DSCP marking
- Per-client bandwidth limits (Correct answer)
- SSID minimum bitrate
- Traffic shaping rules
Correct 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.
Question 6: What does the Meraki dashboard's 'Wireless Health' feature provide?
- RF spectrum analysis graphs per AP radio
- Aggregated metrics on association failures, DHCP failures, and DNS failures across the wireless network (Correct answer)
- Individual client signal strength history
- Real-time packet capture from APs
Correct 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.
