Explanation
To configure a WLAN using WPA2 PSK in the Cisco WLC GUI, you must create a new WLAN with a unique SSID, set the Layer 2 security to WPA2 with a pre-shared key, assign the WLAN to a VLAN for proper segmentation, and ensure the WLAN is enabled. WPA3 is not relevant in this case, as the question specifies WPA2.
- A. Correct.
This is correct. Creating a new WLAN with a unique SSID is a required step in configuring a WLAN in the WLC GUI.
- B. Correct.
This is correct. Setting the Layer 2 security to WPA2 and entering the pre-shared key is essential for securing the WLAN with WPA2 PSK.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. WPA3 is not required when configuring WPA2 PSK. WPA3 is a newer protocol and only applies when explicitly chosen.
- D. Correct.
This is correct. Assigning the WLAN to a specific VLAN ensures proper network segmentation and traffic management.
- E. Correct.
This is correct. Enabling the WLAN after configuration is necessary to make it active and accessible.
