Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) v1.2Network AssuranceHard

A network engineer needs to monitor the wireless client count, signal strength (RSSI), and data rates on an access point (AP) in real-time. The AP is managed by a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). Which Cisco wireless assurance feature, integrated with DNA Center, provides this granular, real-time client-centric data?

  1. ARadio Resource Management (RRM)
  2. BCleanAir Technology
  3. CClient 360
  4. DAP Group Analytics
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Client 360

Cisco DNA Center's 'Client 360' feature provides a comprehensive, real-time view of individual wireless clients, including their connection status, signal strength (RSSI), data rates, associated AP, and application performance metrics. It's designed for granular, client-centric troubleshooting and monitoring.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. RRM (Radio Resource Management) is an automated feature that optimizes AP power and channel assignments, not a monitoring interface for client details.
  • B. CleanAir Technology focuses on detecting and classifying non-Wi-Fi interference sources, not on client-specific connection metrics like RSSI or data rates.
  • D. AP Group Analytics provides aggregated data for groups of APs, not granular real-time data for individual clients.

Cisco DNA Center Client 360

A feature within Cisco DNA Center Assurance that provides a holistic, real-time view of an individual wireless client's performance, connectivity, and experience.

  • Client-centric troubleshooting.
  • Shows detailed metrics like RSSI, data rates, association status.
  • Integrates data across wired and wireless domains for a single client.

Memory trick: Client 360 sees all, RRM optimizes, CleanAir finds noise, AP groups roll call.
