Questions and Answers

What is one of the challenges related to VLAN identification with wall jacks and APs?

  • Difficulty in identifying the subnet mask
  • Difficulty in identifying the IP address
  • Difficulty in identifying the VLANs that a wall jack or AP has access to (correct)
  • Difficulty in identifying the MAC address

What is a disadvantage of poor planning in VLAN implementation?

  • Simplified network management
