Summary: <br> <br> https://youtu.be/XfVjpdHShys<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://www.arista.com/en/">Arista Networks</a><br> <br> <br> <br> We’re taking a dive into how a multi-function radio can help network engineers with many tasks.<br> <br> <br> <br> A multi-function radio is an additional radio not used for client access. It’s mostly used in listening mode.<br> <br> <br> <br> These are the six functions of the multi-function radio:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * Packet Capture<br> <br> <br> <br> * WIPS Detection and Prevention<br> <br> <br> <br> * RRM Scanning<br> <br> <br> <br> * Spectrum Analysis<br> <br> <br> <br> * Client Locationing<br> <br> <br> <br> * Client Simulation and Network Assurance<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> An advantage of a multi-function radio is to perform various tasks without having to go off-channel. When a client serving radio has to perform these functions it needs to stop serving clients for a set of time and return to a client serving mode.<br> <br> <br> <br> The beauty of the multi-function radio is it can always perform these functions without any gaps in time serving clients.<br> <br> <br> <br> Get more information about Arista Networks’ multi-function radio on the podcast or video episode for more details.<br>
