LACP is a protocol that allows multiple physical links to be aggregated into a single logical link for increased bandwidth and redundancy. LACP must be configured on both ends of the link for it to work properly. In this case, EDGE1 has LACP configured on its uplink port-channel 1, but CORE1 does not have LACP configured on its corresponding port-channel 1. This causes a mismatch and prevents the link from coming up.References:https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_86_Web_Help/Content/arubaos-solutions/1-overview/lacp.htm

dBm is a unit of power that measures the ratio of a given power level to 1 mW. The formula to convert dBm to mW is: P(mW) = 1mW * 10^(P(dBm)/10). Therefore, -20 dBm corresponds to 0.01 mW, as follows: P(mW) = 1mW * 10^(-20/10) = 0.01 mW References:https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/dBm_to_mW.html

The dBm is a logarithmic unit of power relative to 1 milliwatt (mW). -20 dBm means that the signal strength is 20 decibels lower than 1 mW. In terms of mW, this is 0.01 mW. Each 10 dB decrease represents a tenfold decrease in power. Therefore, -20 dBm is10−210−2or 0.01 mW.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a network protocol that provides automatic assignment of available Internet Protocol (IP) routers to participating hosts. VRRP sends its messages over multicast for communication among routers for the election process of the master and advertisement of the virtual IP address.

Based on the exhibit showing the logging server configurations, server 172.17.17.43 will receive the smallest quantity of data because it is set to the "Warning" event log level. This means it will only log events that are categorized as warnings or higher severity, which are typically less frequent than lower severity levels such as "Information," "Debug," or "Emergency."

The client's broadcast domain in ArubaOS can be set with role-based VLAN overrides within the firewall role settings. This allows for dynamic assignment of VLANs to users based on their role, which determines their level of network access, including their broadcast domain.

Signal to noise ratio (SNR) is a measure that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. SNR is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power, often expressed in decibels (dB). A high SNR means that the signal is clear and easy to detect or interpret, while a low SNR means that the signal is corrupted or obscured by noise and may be difficult to distinguish or recover1. When the signal from an AP Access Point. AP is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi, or related standards. weakens by being absorbed as it moves through an object, such as a wall or a furniture, the signal power decreases. This reduces the SNR and affects the quality of the wireless connection. The noise power may also increase due to interference from other sources, such as other APs or devices operating in the same frequency band2. Therefore, the correct answer is that SNR decreases when the signal from an AP weakens by being absorbed as it moves through an object.

While both 5 GHz and 6 GHz channels can provide similar throughputs, the higher frequency of the 6 GHz band means its signals have a shorter range and are more attenuated by obstaclescompared to 5 GHz signals. This results in 5 GHz channels generally being able to travel longer distances than 6 GHz channels under similar conditions, although both can support high data rates for connected clients.

A UXI (User Experience Insight) is a device that simulates user behavior and tests network performance from the user perspective. It can check different applications, such as HTTP, VOIP, or Office 365, and measure metrics such as latency, jitter, packet loss, and throughput.References:https://www.arubanetworks.com/products/networking/user-experience-insight/

A User Experience Insight (UXI) sensor, such as those used in Aruba networks, is designed to mimic client behavior and test the performance of various network services and applications from the user's perspective. It can simulate user activities and measure the quality of experience for different applications, including HTTP, VOIP, and cloud services like Office 365, providing valuable insights into network performance and user experience.

In a 2.4GHz WLAN environment, channels 1, 6, and 11 are recommended for use simultaneously to avoid co-channel interference because these channels do not overlap with each other. Each of these channels is separated by enough frequency space to ensure that the signals do not interfere, which is not the case with other channel combinations.
