Difficulty: MediumWireless LAN Client Connectivity Configuration via WLC GUI

A network administrator is setting up a new wireless network using the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) web GUI. After defining the WLAN profile name and SSID on the General tab, the administrator needs to configure WPA2 Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication for client connectivity. Under which tab and sub-tab within the WLANs > Edit menu is the PSK passphrase field configured?

  1. Security tab, under the Layer 2 sub-tabAnswer
  2. B
    Security tab, under the AAA Servers sub-tab
  3. C
    Security tab, under the Layer 3 sub-tab
  4. D
    Advanced tab, under the Client Key Management settings

Answer

The PSK passphrase is configured under the Security tab on the Layer 2 sub-tab.
In the Cisco WLC web GUI, Layer 2 wireless security protocols (WPA2/WPA3) and key management methods (PSK vs 802.1X) are located under WLANs > Edit > Security > Layer 2. Enabling PSK under Auth Key Management displays the Pre-Shared Key entry box directly on the Layer 2 sub-tab.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Navigate to WLANs > Edit for the target WLAN in the WLC GUI.
Access the configuration tabs for the specific WLAN.
WLAN-specific parameters are modified in this section.
2
Click on the Security tab, then select the Layer 2 sub-tab.
Layer 2 security options (such as WPA+WPA2) are displayed.
Wi-Fi authentication mechanisms (PSK and 802.1X) operate at Layer 2.
3
Select PSK under Auth Key Management and enter the passphrase in the Pre-Shared Key box.
The PSK passphrase is applied directly within the Layer 2 sub-tab.
Cisco AireOS WLC GUI integrates PSK key entry directly into the Layer 2 security policy page.
