300-425 Question 276
Single answerYou are a network engineer tasked with deploying a wireless network for a large office building. You plan to use Cisco DNA Center to simplify the deployment and management process. Which feature of Cisco DNA Center allows you to automatically configure wireless access points (APs) based on predefined policies and ensure consistent configurations across the network?
- A
Assurance
- B
Software-Defined Access (SD-Access)
- C
Network Hierarchy
- D
Plug and Play (PnP)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Plug and Play (PnP) in Cisco DNA Center is specifically designed to streamline the deployment of network devices, including wireless access points. By leveraging PnP, you can ensure that new APs are automatically configured with consistent settings according to predefined policies, reducing manual effort and the potential for configuration errors. This makes it an essential feature for large-scale wireless deployments.
- A. Incorrect.
Assurance provides real-time monitoring, analytics, and troubleshooting capabilities, but it is not responsible for the automatic configuration of wireless access points.
- B. Incorrect.
Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is used for network segmentation and automation of policy-based access, but it does not handle the automatic configuration of APs during deployment.
- C. Incorrect.
Network Hierarchy is a logical design framework in Cisco DNA Center to organize network devices, but it does not provide automation for configuring APs.
- D. Correct.
Plug and Play (PnP) is the feature in Cisco DNA Center that automates the provisioning and configuration of network devices, including wireless APs, based on predefined policies.
