Select 3You are asked to configure a wireless network for a small office using the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) GUI. The network should use WPA2-PSK for security. Which of the following steps must you perform to achieve this configuration?
- A
Create a new WLAN and assign it a unique SSID.
- B
Set the security policy to WPA2 and choose PSK as the authentication method.
- C
Upload a digital certificate for WPA2 authentication.
- D
Enter the pre-shared key (PSK) in the passphrase field.
- E
Enable 802.1X authentication instead of PSK.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To configure a WLAN with WPA2-PSK on a Cisco WLC, you need to create a WLAN with a unique SSID, choose WPA2 as the security policy, select PSK as the authentication method, and provide the pre-shared key. Digital certificates and 802.1X authentication are not part of WPA2-PSK setups.
- A. Correct.
Creating a new WLAN and assigning it a unique SSID is a necessary step when configuring a WLAN on a Cisco WLC.
- B. Correct.
Setting the security policy to WPA2 and selecting PSK as the authentication method is essential for using WPA2-PSK.
- C. Incorrect.
Uploading a digital certificate is not required for WPA2-PSK, as this method uses a pre-shared key instead of certificates.
- D. Correct.
Entering the pre-shared key (PSK) in the passphrase field is required to configure WPA2-PSK.
- E. Incorrect.
802.1X authentication is not used for WPA2-PSK. It is used in enterprise setups with RADIUS servers.
