Which of the following methods should be used to set the threshold when using RTS/CTS in “On with Threshold” mode on a wireless LAN?
  1. Automatically, by the access points only
  2. Manually, by the user of the hidden node
  3. Manually, on the clients and access points
  4. Automatically, by the clients only
Explanation
Answer - C - You should manually set the threshold on the clients and access points when using RTS/CTS in “On with Threshold” mode on a wireless LAN.

Key Takeaway: RTS/CTS, or Request to Send/Clear to Send, is an optional mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless networking protocol to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden terminal problem. You should manually configure the access points and clients to use RTS/CTS. The three settings available with RTS/CTS are Off, On, and On with Threshold. The Off setting is used by default to reduce unnecessary overhead on the network.
