Difficulty: EasyWireless LAN Client Connectivity Configuration via WLC GUI

When creating a new Wireless LAN (WLAN) on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) using the web GUI, under which tab within the WLANs Edit menu is Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication configured for WPA2-Personal wireless clients?

  1. Security tabAnswer
  2. B
    General tab
  3. C
    AAA Servers tab
  4. D
    Advanced tab

Answer

The Security tab is used to configure WPA2-Personal Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller GUI.
In the Cisco WLC web GUI, all Layer 2 and Layer 3 security protocols—including WPA2-Personal Pre-Shared Key (PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (802.1X)—are configured under the Security tab of the WLANs > Edit page.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Navigate to the WLANs menu in the Cisco WLC GUI and select the target WLAN ID.
The WLANs > Edit page opens with several configuration tabs (General, Security, AAA Servers, QoS, Advanced).
Different WLAN parameters are segregated into functional tabs.
2
Select the Security tab and sub-tab Layer 2.
Layer 2 security mechanisms such as WPA+WPA2 are displayed.
Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is a Layer 2 security mechanism under the WPA/WPA2 policy.
3
Enable WPA2 Policy and set Auth Key Management to PSK, then enter the pre-shared key format and key value.
Client connectivity is configured to require the specified PSK for WPA2-Personal association.
This establishes client authentication criteria for the wireless network.
