300-425 Question 57
Select 3A network engineer is tasked with implementing Application Visibility and Control (AVC) with Fastlane on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to prioritize business-critical applications. Which of the following steps must the engineer perform to ensure proper configuration?
- A
Enable AVC globally on the WLC.
- B
Assign application traffic to QoS profiles using AVC policies.
- C
Enable Client Band Steering to optimize client connections.
- D
Activate Fastlane on the WLAN settings to prioritize applications.
- E
Manually configure DSCP values for each application on the WLC.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To implement AVC with Fastlane on a Cisco WLC, the engineer must first enable AVC globally, configure application traffic policies, and activate Fastlane on WLAN settings. These steps ensure that business-critical applications are prioritized automatically using QoS profiles. Features like Client Band Steering or manual DSCP configuration are not directly related to AVC and Fastlane implementation.
- A. Correct.
Enabling AVC globally on the WLC is a required step to start using AVC features and monitor application traffic.
- B. Correct.
Assigning application traffic to QoS profiles using AVC policies is necessary to ensure that the traffic is classified and prioritized properly.
- C. Incorrect.
Client Band Steering is unrelated to AVC or Fastlane. It is used to guide clients to specific frequency bands (e.g., 5 GHz) for better performance.
- D. Correct.
Activating Fastlane on the WLAN settings is essential to enable iOS devices to leverage application prioritization.
- E. Incorrect.
Manually configuring DSCP values for each application is not required because AVC and Fastlane automatically map applications to QoS levels.
