Select 3You are tasked with configuring a wireless network in a small office using a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). The network must use WPA2-PSK for security. After accessing the WLC’s GUI, which steps should you take to successfully configure the WLAN with the required security settings?
- A
Navigate to the WLANs section and create a new WLAN profile.
- B
Set the security policy to WPA2 and choose PSK as the authentication method.
- C
Enter the pre-shared key (PSK) in the designated field and save the configuration.
- D
Enable 802.1X authentication for enhanced security.
- E
Assign the WLAN to a specific VLAN for network segmentation.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
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.
