A network engineer is deploying a Cisco Lightweight Access Point (AP) operating in Local mode. The AP needs to establish a CAPWAP tunnel back to the central Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). Which switch port configuration is required for the access switch interface connected directly to this AP?
- An access port assigned to the untagged VLAN used for AP management traffic.Cevap
- BAn 802.1Q trunk port tagged for all user VLANs, expecting the AP to locally switch client data frames.
- CAn 802.1Q trunk port configured with mismatched native VLAN settings on opposing ends of the AP link.
- DA switch-to-switch trunk port configured with PortFast enabled to instantly bridge inter-switch traffic.
Cevap
An access port assigned to the untagged VLAN used for AP management traffic.
In Local mode, a Cisco Lightweight AP encapsulates all client traffic inside a CAPWAP tunnel sent back to the WLC. Because individual WLAN client VLANs are managed centrally at the controller, the switch port connected to the AP only needs to transmit untagged management traffic. Therefore, configuring the port as an access port in the AP's management VLAN is the correct method.
