- A
Configure the wireless LAN controller (WLC) to support OfficeExtend access points (OEAPs).
- B
Enable split tunneling on the OEAP to allow local internet access.
- C
Deploy a Cisco DNA Center to manage OfficeExtend access points.
- D
Provision a secure SSID on the WLC for OfficeExtend users.
- E
Ensure the OEAP is connected to the corporate network via a VPN tunnel.
- F
Preconfigure the OEAP with the corporate SSID before deploying it to the remote worker.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
OfficeExtend allows remote workers to securely connect to the corporate wireless network using a Cisco OfficeExtend Access Point (OEAP). Key steps include configuring the wireless LAN controller (WLC) to support OEAPs, enabling split tunneling for local internet access, and provisioning a secure SSID on the WLC for remote users. While other options like Cisco DNA Center and VPNs may enhance or complement network functionality, they are not required components for implementing OfficeExtend.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The WLC must be configured to support OfficeExtend functionality, as it manages OEAPs and ensures they operate securely and correctly.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Split tunneling is typically enabled on the OEAP to allow remote workers to access local internet services while maintaining a secure connection to the corporate network.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While Cisco DNA Center provides centralized network management, it is not a requirement for implementing OfficeExtend in a Cisco wireless network.
- D. Correct.
Correct. A secure SSID must be created on the WLC to ensure that remote workers can connect to the corporate network securely.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The OEAP connects to the corporate network using a secure tunnel established via the WLC, not a separate VPN.
- F. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The OEAP does not need to be preconfigured with the corporate SSID before deployment, as it will receive configuration from the WLC during the initial setup process.
