Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To implement Cisco Spaces for location-based services and analytics, the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) with CMX Connect Mode is a critical component. It facilitates the forwarding of client location data to Cisco Spaces, enabling the platform to process and provide actionable insights. Other components like Cisco DNA Center and access points play supporting roles but are not directly responsible for client location tracking integration.
- A. Incorrect.
Cisco DNA Center is primarily used for network automation and assurance. While it can integrate with Cisco Spaces for additional insights, it is not the primary component required for client location tracking in this scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller is a modern wireless controller, but on its own, it does not enable client location tracking or integrate directly with Cisco Spaces without additional configuration.
- C. Correct.
The Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) with CMX Connect Mode is essential to enable client location tracking. CMX Connect Mode allows location data to be forwarded to Cisco Spaces for analytics and services.
- D. Incorrect.
Cisco Aironet Access Points provide wireless coverage, but they do not directly integrate with Cisco Spaces for client location tracking. They rely on the WLC for this functionality.
