300-430 Question 183
Select 3An organization wants to implement a Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) using Cisco DNA Center to detect and mitigate wireless threats in their network. As part of the implementation, what are the essential steps to ensure effective wIPS configuration and monitoring?
- A
Enable the wIPS service and assign it to the appropriate access points.
- B
Configure the wIPS policies and thresholds within Cisco DNA Center.
- C
Manually update the signatures for threat detection in each access point.
- D
Integrate Cisco DNA Center with an external SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system for threat reporting.
- E
Ensure the access points are operating in FlexConnect mode to support wIPS.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To implement wIPS using Cisco DNA Center, you need to enable the service on access points, configure policies and thresholds, and optionally integrate with external systems like SIEM for deeper visibility and reporting. Signature updates are automated through Cisco DNA Center, and specific AP modes like FlexConnect are not necessary for wIPS functionality.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Enabling the wIPS service and assigning it to specific access points is necessary to monitor and detect wireless threats in the area of interest.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Configuring wIPS policies and thresholds in Cisco DNA Center allows customization of detection and response based on the organization's security needs.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cisco DNA Center automatically updates threat detection signatures as part of its cloud-based management, so manual updates are not required.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Integrating with an external SIEM system enhances visibility and enables centralized reporting and correlation of wireless threats.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. FlexConnect mode is not a requirement for wIPS; access points in local mode are typically used for wIPS functionality.
