300-425 Question 180
Select 3An organization has deployed Cisco DNA Center, and the network administrator wants to implement Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) to monitor and mitigate threats in the wireless environment. What are the correct steps to configure wIPS using Cisco DNA Center?
- A
Enable wIPS in the Wireless Settings section of Cisco DNA Center and associate it with an SSID.
- B
Create an Assurance policy and enable wIPS under the Security configuration.
- C
Ensure APs are placed in Monitor Mode or in Enhanced Local Mode (ELM) to support wIPS.
- D
Configure the wIPS profile in the Policy section and apply it to the appropriate Access Points.
- E
Analyze wireless threat data in the Cisco DNA Center Assurance dashboard.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: C, D, E
Explanation
To implement wIPS using Cisco DNA Center, it is essential to configure APs in Monitor Mode or Enhanced Local Mode (ELM), as these modes allow scanning for wireless threats. A wIPS profile must then be configured in the Policy section and applied to the appropriate Access Points. Once wIPS is operational, the Cisco DNA Center Assurance dashboard is used to monitor and analyze detected threats, ensuring proactive wireless security management.
- A. Incorrect.
wIPS is not enabled in the Wireless Settings section or associated with an SSID. Instead, wIPS is configured using profiles and policies that focus on monitoring and threat detection.
- B. Incorrect.
An Assurance policy is not directly used to enable wIPS. Assurance in Cisco DNA Center is primarily for monitoring and troubleshooting network health.
- C. Correct.
Access Points must be configured in Monitor Mode or Enhanced Local Mode (ELM) to support wIPS, as these modes allow the APs to scan channels for threats.
- D. Correct.
The wIPS profile is created in the Policy section of Cisco DNA Center, where it can be applied to the Access Points that will monitor for threats.
- E. Correct.
Cisco DNA Center Assurance dashboard provides visibility into wireless threats detected by wIPS, enabling administrators to analyze and respond to them effectively.
