300-430 Question 182
Select 3You are tasked with implementing Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) in a corporate network using Cisco DNA Center. The goal is to detect and mitigate rogue access points and unauthorized wireless activity. After deploying the wIPS sensor in the appropriate location, what steps should you take in Cisco DNA Center to complete the configuration and enable monitoring?
- A
Navigate to the Assurance tab in Cisco DNA Center and enable the Rogue AP Mitigation feature.
- B
Add the wIPS sensor to the inventory in Cisco DNA Center and assign it to a specific site.
- C
Configure the wIPS policy in Cisco DNA Center by specifying detection thresholds and mitigation actions.
- D
Enable Wireless Intrusion Prevention under the Wireless Settings for the selected site.
- E
Manually map the wIPS sensor to the WLAN controller through its web interface.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, D
Explanation
To implement wIPS using Cisco DNA Center, you must integrate the wIPS sensor into the network by adding it to the inventory and assigning it to a site. Then, configure a wIPS policy to define detection and mitigation parameters. Finally, enable Wireless Intrusion Prevention for the site under Wireless Settings. These steps ensure the network can detect and protect against wireless threats. Configurations like Rogue AP Mitigation and manual controller mapping are either unrelated or handled differently in DNA Center.
- A. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because the Rogue AP Mitigation feature is not enabled under the Assurance tab. Assurance is used for monitoring and analytics, not for configuring wIPS.
- B. Correct.
This is correct because the wIPS sensor must first be added to the inventory and associated with a specific site in Cisco DNA Center to enable its functionality.
- C. Correct.
This is correct because defining a wIPS policy in Cisco DNA Center is critical for setting up detection thresholds and specifying actions to mitigate threats.
- D. Correct.
This is correct because Wireless Intrusion Prevention must be explicitly enabled for the selected site in Cisco DNA Center to activate the wIPS functionality.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because wIPS sensors are managed directly through Cisco DNA Center and do not require manual mapping to the WLAN controller.
