Full question →mediummultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A company wants to deploy a wireless network in an office with high-density client requirements. Which 802.11 technology allows multiple antennas to transmit multiple spatial streams to increase throughput?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output)
MIMO uses multiple antennas to send and receive multiple data streams simultaneously, improving capacity and throughput.
B
Distractor review
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
OFDM is a modulation technique that divides a channel into subcarriers, but it does not inherently use multiple spatial streams.
C
Distractor review
DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)
DSSS is an older physical layer technology used in 802.11b.
D
Distractor review
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)
CSMA/CA is a Medium Access Control method, not a throughput-enhancing technology.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this N10-009 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) — MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology uses multiple antennas to send and receive multiple data streams simultaneously, significantly increasing throughput and capacity. OFDM is a modulation technique, DSSS is an older physical layer, and CSMA/CA is a media access control method.
