Difficulty: MediumWireless LAN Client Connectivity Configuration via WLC GUI

A network engineer is configuring a new WLAN on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) using the GUI to support wireless clients using WPA2-Personal authentication. Under which tab and sub-tab in the WLANs edit menu must the pre-shared key (PSK) format and secret key be configured?

  1. Security tab > Layer 2 sub-tabAnswer
  2. B
    Security tab > Layer 3 sub-tab
  3. C
    General tab > Radio Policy dropdown
  4. D
    Advanced tab > Client Exclusion settings

Answer

Security tab > Layer 2 sub-tab
WPA2-Personal (PSK) is a Layer 2 security mechanism. On the Cisco WLC GUI, navigating to WLANs > Edit > Security > Layer 2 allows the administrator to select WPA+WPA2 security, check the PSK box under Auth Key Management, and specify the pre-shared key format and value.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Navigate to the WLANs menu in the Cisco WLC GUI and click on the target WLAN ID.
The WLANs > Edit page opens with multiple configuration tabs.
Access to specific WLAN parameters requires opening the specific WLAN edit panel.
2
Select the Security tab and verify the Layer 2 sub-tab is active.
Layer 2 security protocols (such as WPA+WPA2) are accessible.
WPA2 encryption and key management operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model.
3
Enable WPA2 Policy, select PSK under Auth Key Management, and enter the pre-shared key.
The pre-shared key policy is assigned to the WLAN.
PSK key management requires entering the ASCII or Hex pre-shared key under Layer 2 security settings.
