Which technology is most important for enabling proactive monitoring and management of your wired and wireless network ecosystem?
Ultra high-speed data links
a
B
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
c
Automated infrastructure management
D
Network convergence
Correct answer
Across the enterprise, end users are demanding a better connectivity experience. Business stakeholders are continuously demanding higher SLAs. IT, and its ability to manage the converged network, is under the gun to deliver. Artificial intelligence and machine learning provide the network visibility and in-depth guidance needed to prioritize, investigate and resolve network issues as quickly as possible before they affect service.

Which of the following Wi-Fi components are most critical to ensure your client density and application requirements are met?
Multigigabit switches
Virtual controllers
High-performance Wi-Fi access points
None of the above
With enterprise Wi-Fi traffic exploding, being able to deliver adequate Wi-Fi capacity and coverage becomes a litmus test for the network. Switches are important, but the heavy lifting is up to your access points. It is critical that they are tested and verified to provide the user density and throughput you need. When paired with complementary multigigabit switches, high-performing APs support the performance end users expect while remaining within your budget constraints.
C: High-performance Wi-Fi access points
3
Where should you be able to deploy your network management solution to ensure you can respond to changes in your business, industry or geographic region?
Public cloud
Private cloud
On premises
All of the above
E
IT serves the business, and the business environment in which your enterprise operates is constantly changing. For example, policies regarding the handling of data and privacy are rapidly evolving. Such change demands the flexibility to move your wired and wireless management from cloud to on-premises or vice versa, if required, with minimal cost and effort.
D: All of the above

What’s the best way to future-proof your wired/wireless network investment?
Unify the management of your switches and Wi-Fi APs
Standardize your infrastructure design on Category 6A
Improve your SLAs
Just as your business needs and environment change, so too does your wired/wireless network (including cabling standards). A unified solution—to monitor and manage your access, aggregation, and core switches and all Wi-Fi AP types—enables you to control any wired or wireless device you might add without increasing cost or complexity. And, with the right solution, improved SLA performance is built in.
A: Unify the management of your switches and Wi-Fi APs
5
If the subscription for your cloud-based network management solution has lapsed—accidentally or intentionally—what are the overall consequences to the network?
Your switches are deactivated until the account is brought up to date
Your Wi-Fi APs are deactivated until the account is brought up to date
All network elements cease to function and the account must be reactivated
The network—Wi-Fi APs and switches— continues to function normally
In most cases, network functionality is tied to a cloud management subscription. If your subscription lapses, most (if not all) network elements will typically stop working. Ideally, should your cloud management subscription end, for any reason, your network switches and APs continue to function normally.
D: The network—Wi-Fi APs and switches—continues to function normally

What is the most effective and efficient method for providing secure network access to guests?
Deploy a dedicated hardware appliance to handle all guest traffic
Integrate a third-party security solution at an additional cost into your existing management system
Enable secure guest access with your cloud-based network management solution
Trust your guests and let them connect to your enterprise network
Providing access to the business network must be easy and secure for guests, while enabling the business to meet industry or geo-specific regulations. A dedicated hardware-enabled guest network and third-party security systems are costly to deploy and maintain. And WPA3 requires new devices. Multiple options for secure guest access—social login, SMS, email, clickthrough, passcode—can make it easy while still being highly secure.
C: Enable secure guest access with your cloud-based network management solution

The main purpose for retaining user, device and application data from across the network is to fine-tune network performance.
True
False
With AI-enabled network monitoring and management, network performance can be adjusted in near-real time. The main reason for retaining the operational data is compliance. More than ever, various geo-specific and industry-specific regulations are requiring enterprise IT to maintain their user, device, network, and application logs for 12 months for forensic analysis. RUCKUS Cloud enables IT to capture and store that data long-term at no extra cost.

What is the main benefit of having a native mobile app to go with your cloud-based network management solution?
Provisioning, monitoring, and managing your wired and wireless network from anywhere, anytime
Managing SLAs when you’re not in the office
Alerting IT teams to high-priority service issues
You must be able to provision, configure, monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the network without being tethered to a desk. IT must be able to maintain SLAs imposed upon them while on the go. That’s the major benefit of a robust, full-function native mobile app. It provides the kind of on-the-go productivity IT needs to ensure the performance users demand.
9
The only way to collect data from your network devices is by installing software or hardware data collectors throughout your network.
Installing a software or hardware appliance to collect data from your network devices is a very time- and resource-consuming process. IT must ensure the data collector appliance is well installed and provisioned, monitored at all times, secured, and constantly up to date with the latest software updates. Moreover, IT must work with network administrators to co-manage this data collector appliance. IT should be able to collect such data without adding cost or complexity.

The most scalable cloud-based network management system offers the following in the cloud:
Management plane
Control plane
Both management and control planes
Neither management nor control plane
When it comes to growing your network management solution, scalability depends on where the control functions are located. Placing control and management in the cloud provides nearly unlimited scalability.
C: Both management and control planes
