Explanation

To configure a WLAN with WPA2-PSK in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller GUI, you need to create a new WLAN profile, set the security policy to WPA2, and choose PSK as the authentication method. You must also enter the pre-shared key for the network. Other options, like enabling 802.1X or VLAN assignment, are not necessary for this specific configuration.

  • A. Correct.

    Correct. Creating a new WLAN profile is the first step to configuring a wireless network on the WLC.

  • B. Correct.

    Correct. WPA2-PSK security requires setting the security policy to WPA2 and selecting PSK as the authentication method.

  • C. Correct.

    Correct. Entering the pre-shared key is necessary for WPA2-PSK authentication to function properly.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. While 802.1X is a valid security method, it is not required for WPA2-PSK, which uses a pre-shared key instead of an authentication server.

  • E. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. Assigning a WLAN to a VLAN is optional and not directly required to configure WPA2-PSK security.
