300-425 Question 267
Single answerA network engineer is configuring a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to support a new wireless network for a campus environment. The engineer needs to ensure that the WLC can dynamically assign access points (APs) to specific groups based on their location to ensure proper configuration and policy application. Which feature should the engineer configure to meet this requirement?
- A
AP Grouping
- B
FlexConnect
- C
RF Profiles
- D
Dynamic VLAN Assignment
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AP Grouping on a WLC is the correct feature to dynamically organize access points into logical groups based on their location. This feature allows administrators to apply specific settings and policies to access points in different areas, ensuring a tailored wireless experience throughout the campus. Other options like FlexConnect, RF Profiles, and Dynamic VLAN Assignment address different needs but do not fulfill the requirement of location-based AP management.
- A. Correct.
AP Grouping allows administrators to logically group access points in the WLC and apply specific configuration settings and policies to those groups, making it ideal for location-based management.
- B. Incorrect.
FlexConnect is used to enable access points to switch traffic locally rather than tunneling it back to the WLC, which is unrelated to grouping APs based on location.
- C. Incorrect.
RF Profiles are used to manage radio frequency settings, such as power levels and channel width, but do not help in grouping APs for location-specific configurations.
- D. Incorrect.
Dynamic VLAN Assignment is used to assign VLANs to clients based on specific criteria, but it does not help in managing APs or their configurations based on location.
