200-301 Question 253
Select 3A network administrator is configuring a wireless LAN controller (WLC) for client connectivity. The administrator is reviewing the WLAN configuration settings in the GUI and notices the following settings: SSID: OfficeWiFi, Security: WPA2-PSK, and VLAN: 10. Which of the following configurations are required to ensure successful client connectivity to the WLAN?
- A
The SSID configured on the client device must match 'OfficeWiFi'.
- B
The client device must be configured with the correct WPA2 pre-shared key.
- C
The VLAN ID must be manually set to 10 on the client device.
- D
The client device must support 802.11 standards compatible with the WLC.
- E
The client device must have a static IP address configured in the VLAN 10 subnet.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
For successful client connectivity to the WLAN, the client device must match the SSID, authenticate using the correct WPA2 pre-shared key, and support compatible 802.11 standards. VLAN settings are managed by the WLC and do not require manual configuration on the client, and IP addressing is generally handled dynamically via DHCP unless specified otherwise.
- A. Correct.
The SSID acts as the network identifier, and the client device must match the configured SSID on the WLC for proper association.
- B. Correct.
The WPA2-PSK security setting requires the client device to use the correct pre-shared key to authenticate and connect to the WLAN.
- C. Incorrect.
VLAN ID configuration is handled by the WLC and is transparent to the client device. VLAN settings are not manually configured on client devices.
- D. Correct.
The client device must support the appropriate 802.11 standards (e.g., 802.11n, 802.11ac) to establish a wireless connection with the WLC.
- E. Incorrect.
Dynamic IP addressing is typically used for wireless clients, and static IP configuration is not a requirement for connectivity unless specifically configured in the network.
