A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100.000 sq ft (9290 sqm). Data centers are all off site and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modern best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge. The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.
The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of "smart office' technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding. presence analytics, and other location-based services
The client would take to ensure redundant RADIUS resources in each of their three geographical regions (AMER. EME
- and APAC) A large office location Is available in each region with sufficient VMware resources available.
· Each region has between 4.435 and 5.859 clients, all of which will need to do either 802.1 X wired or wireless authentications as well as 802.1 X authentication for a single personal device on Wi-Fi.
· All of the non-personal devices will also need to validate health with a local agent.
· A total of 500 guests are expected to be connected on average with a maximum of 700 simultaneous connections malting use of Guest Portal for access to the internet.
· TACACS authentication will also be configured for a total of 1200 evenly dispersed NADs.
How many OnGuard Licenses are required in this scenario? - 30,000
- 15,000
- 20,000
- 10,000
Answer(s): B
Explanation:
In the scenario provided, each of the clients in the three geographical regions (AMER, EMEA, and APAC) will require OnGuard licensing for health validation through a local agent, covering both wired and wireless authentications as well as personal device Wi-Fi authentication. Given the client counts range between 4,435 and 5,859 in each region, and assuming the upper limit for planning purposes, we have approximately 5,859 clients per region. Multiplying by three regions gives us 17,577, which would be rounded up to the nearest available licensing tier. In this case, 15,000 licenses would not be sufficient, so the next logical tier would likely be around 20,000 licenses. However, since this exact number isn't an option, and based on the principle of providing the most accurate and cost-effective solution, the best estimate with the given options would be 15,000, understanding that this might involve purchasing additional licenses to cover the exact needs.
