Cisco Prime Planning Tool Settings for WSSI
Refer to the exhibit. A customer is deploying a Greenfield 802.11n network with data, voice, and location awareness using APs with the WSSI modules. Which two settings in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Planning Tool, when selected, provide a more accurate prediction of the number of APs the customer must purchase for the new facility? (Choose two.) -

Community Insight
The question tests the ability to select appropriate planning tool settings for voice and location while recognizing that WSSI modules eliminate the need for dedicated Monitor Mode APs.
This page establishes the correct Cisco Prime Infrastructure Planning Tool settings for a Greenfield 802.11n network using APs with WSSI modules. It confirms that Voice and Location are the correct settings to accurately predict AP count.
Choosing Location with Monitor Mode APs (D) because it seems to fit the location requirement, ignoring that WSSI modules already provide monitoring capabilities.

Why the Answer Is Correct
Selecting the Voice (B) setting adjusts the RF prediction to meet the stricter coverage and capacity demands of voice traffic, while Location (E) accounts for the AP density required for location tracking. Because the APs are equipped with WSSI modules, these modules handle the monitoring and security roles, making the standard Location setting accurate without adding dedicated monitor mode APs.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Override Coverage per AP (A) simply changes the coverage calculation basis but does not inherently add voice or location accuracy. Data/Coverage (C) is the default planning mode for data-only networks and does not account for voice or location requirements. Location with Monitor Mode APs (D) is incorrect because the WSSI module offloads the monitoring function, rendering dedicated monitor mode APs unnecessary.Community Comment Notes
Users correctly point out that WSSI modules eliminate the need for dedicated monitor mode APs, as noted by kekoa who stated the WSSI module "transfers monitoring and security services from the client/data serving radios." Love2Cod3 also confirmed that WSSI modules render "Location with Monitor Mode APs (D) incorrect."Exam Strategy
When dealing with Cisco Prime planning tool questions, always check if the APs have WSSI modules. If they do, remember that this hardware offloads monitoring tasks, so you should never select options that require dedicated monitor mode APs.
