300-425 Question 245
Single answerA network administrator is tasked with configuring a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for a large enterprise deployment. The administrator needs to ensure that client devices are assigned to different VLANs based on their corporate departments. Which feature on the WLC should the administrator configure to achieve this?
- A
AP Groups
- B
Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS
- C
FlexConnect Local Switching
- D
Mobility Groups
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To assign client devices to different VLANs based on their corporate departments, the administrator must configure Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS on the WLC. This feature works by leveraging RADIUS attributes sent from the authentication server to determine the appropriate VLAN for each user. Other options, such as AP Groups or Mobility Groups, do not provide this capability.
- A. Incorrect.
AP Groups are used to group access points to assign specific SSIDs, RF parameters, and policies but do not allow VLAN assignment based on user attributes.
- B. Correct.
Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS allows the WLC to assign client devices to different VLANs dynamically based on RADIUS server configurations such as user credentials or attributes.
- C. Incorrect.
FlexConnect Local Switching is used in remote branch setups, allowing traffic to exit at the access point level instead of tunneling back to the WLC, but it does not handle VLAN assignments dynamically.
- D. Incorrect.
Mobility Groups are used to enable seamless roaming between WLCs in a large deployment but are unrelated to VLAN assignment or RADIUS configurations.
