Cisco 300-110 Exam Dumps - Actual Questions Answers

This question requires a straightforward PoE power budget calculation. The IEEE 802.3at standard (PoE+) delivers a maximum of 30W at the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE/switch port). Cisco 9100 Series access points such as the C9120, C9130, and C9136 are designed to operate with full functionality using PoE+ at 30W per AP. The total PoE power requirement for 12 APs is calculated as: 12 APs × 30W per AP = 360W. This figure represents the total power draw that the Cisco 3800 Series PoE+ switch must be capable of supplying across the connected AP ports simultaneously. The Cisco Catalyst 3800 Series switches offer a total PoE power budget that must be validated against this 360W requirement during the design phase. Note that some Cisco 9100 APs support higher power modes through IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++), which can provide up to 90W — but the question specifies PoE+ (802.3at) for the switch infrastructure, making 30W × 12 = 360W the correct answer. Option D (720W) would correspond to 24 APs at 30W each. Option B (1080W) would represent 36 APs. Option C (184.8W) corresponds to a non-standard per-AP power value.

When designing a wireless network for any environment, including a historic building with ornate wall coverings and aesthetic constraints, RF coverage must always be considered first when placing access points. RF coverage is the fundamental requirement — without adequate signal strength throughout the space, no other design objective can be met. The engineer must first determine AP locations that provide the required signal strength and coverage to all areas before addressing aesthetics, overlap calculations, or interference mitigation. In a historic building specifically, the ornate wall coverings and dense construction materials may cause unexpected signal attenuation, making it even more important to model RF coverage before committing to AP positions. Once RF coverage requirements are established, aesthetic concerns (Option A) can guide the choice of AP form factor, enclosures, or cabling routes. Cell overlap (Option C) is derived from coverage calculations. RF interference (Option D) analysis follows after RF coverage baseline is established.

In a warehouse setting, two elements with a significant negative effect on wireless performance are AP height and absorption. AP height (Option B) is critical because warehouses often have very high ceilings (25-45 feet). When APs with internal (omnidirectional) antennas are mounted too high, the signal propagates primarily in the horizontal plane and the path loss to floor-level worker devices becomes excessive. Additionally, metal shelving between the AP and users further attenuates the already weak signal at high mounting heights. Absorption (Option E) is a major challenge in warehouses because the inventory stored on metal racks, particularly liquid goods, dry goods in cardboard, and dense materials, absorbs RF energy significantly. Metal racking causes both absorption and reflection, creating RF shadows and multipath environments that degrade connection quality. Wireless channels (Option A) are a design parameter, not an environmental impediment. Client authentication (Option C) and authorization (Option D) are network security processes unrelated to RF propagation quality.
