- A
Enable NMSP (Network Mobility Services Protocol) on the Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller.
- B
Configure a location service on the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller and associate it with Cisco Spaces.
- C
Install a Virtual CMX server to act as an intermediary between the wireless controller and Cisco Spaces.
- D
Create an API Key in Cisco Spaces and configure it in the wireless controller for secure communication.
- E
Ensure that the Access Points are configured for FlexConnect mode to support Cisco Spaces integration.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
To integrate Cisco Spaces with a wireless network, the wireless controller must support NMSP for location updates, and a secure API Key must be configured for communication with Cisco Spaces. A CMX server is not required as Cisco Spaces directly interfaces with the wireless controller. FlexConnect is not mandatory for this deployment scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct: NMSP is required to enable communication between the wireless controller and Cisco Spaces for location services.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The location service is configured directly within Cisco Spaces, and the controller does not need a separate configuration for this.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Cisco Spaces communicates directly with the wireless controller over NMSP and does not require a CMX server when using Cisco Spaces.
- D. Correct.
Correct: An API Key is necessary for secure authentication and communication between the Cisco Spaces cloud and the wireless controller.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: FlexConnect mode is not a requirement for Cisco Spaces integration. Cisco Spaces works with both local and centralized modes of operation.
