ECMS MR Wireless Access Points and RF 3

Question 1

Which IEEE standard does Meraki MR use for neighbor AP reporting to assist client roaming decisions?

Accepted Answer

802.11k

Answer

802.11k enables APs to provide clients with a neighbor report containing nearby AP information, allowing clients to make informed roaming decisions.

Question 2

On a Meraki MR access point, what is the purpose of the 'Minimum Bitrate' setting in an RF profile?

Accepted Answer

It sets the lowest data rate at which the AP will transmit, helping exclude distant or weak clients

Answer

Setting a minimum bitrate excludes clients at very low data rates from the cell, which reduces airtime consumption by legacy or distant devices.

Question 3

What technology does Meraki MR use to provide location analytics for Wi-Fi clients including dwell time and foot traffic?

Accepted Answer

Meraki Location Analytics using probe request data

Answer

Meraki Location Analytics uses Wi-Fi probe request frames from nearby devices to estimate location, calculate dwell time, and analyze foot traffic patterns.

Question 4

Which Meraki MR feature allows the deployment of access points in outdoor or remote environments using a cellular uplink?

Accepted Answer

Meraki MG cellular gateway connected to an MR AP

Answer

Meraki MG cellular gateways provide WAN connectivity via 4G/5G LTE, and can be paired with Meraki MR access points to deliver Wi-Fi in locations without wired internet.

Question 5

In Meraki wireless, what is the function of 'Group Policies' applied to SSIDs or clients?

Accepted Answer

They apply per-group traffic shaping, firewall rules, and VLAN settings to a segment of users or devices

Answer

Group Policies in Meraki enable role-based network access by applying distinct firewall rules, bandwidth limits, and VLAN assignments to identified user or device groups.
