A network administrator is creating a wireless LAN for corporate clients using the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) GUI. Which TWO actions must be completed within the WLAN edit parameters to ensure client traffic is bound to the appropriate network segment and the WLAN becomes operational for client association? (Select TWO.)
- Map the WLAN to the designated client dynamic interface or interface group on the General tab.Answer
- Check the Status box on the General tab to enable the WLAN.Answer
- CConfigure TACACS+ server credentials under the AAA Servers tab to authenticate 802.1X wireless client associations.
- DEnable Local Mode operation on the Advanced tab so client traffic continues switching locally if WLC connectivity is lost.
Answer
Mapping the WLAN to the designated dynamic interface on the General tab and checking the Status checkbox to enable the WLAN are both required steps.
When configuring a WLAN in the Cisco WLC GUI, client connectivity requires assigning the WLAN to a dynamic interface (or interface group) under the General tab so that traffic is mapped to the correct VLAN. Additionally, because new WLAN profiles are disabled by default, selecting the Status checkbox on the General tab is mandatory to broadcast the SSID and accept client associations.
