300-430 Question 268
Select 3A network administrator is configuring a Cisco WLC (Wireless LAN Controller) to support a large enterprise wireless network. They need to ensure that the WLC can dynamically assign IP addresses to wireless clients, manage traffic effectively, and prioritize critical voice traffic. Which of the following configurations should be implemented on the WLC?
- A
Enable the DHCP server on the WLC
- B
Configure QoS profiles and apply them to WLANs
- C
Disable client load balancing to ensure equal distribution of clients across access points
- D
Use local management authentication instead of RADIUS
- E
Configure AP groups to segment WLANs and apply policies
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
To support a large enterprise wireless network, enabling the DHCP server on the WLC ensures dynamic IP assignment to clients, while configuring QoS profiles prioritizes critical traffic like voice. AP groups help segment WLANs and manage traffic effectively. These configurations collectively optimize the functionality and performance of the WLC in the given scenario.
- A. Correct.
Enabling the DHCP server on the WLC allows the WLC to dynamically assign IP addresses to wireless clients, which is essential for wireless network connectivity.
- B. Correct.
Configuring QoS (Quality of Service) profiles ensures that critical traffic like voice is prioritized, improving network performance for latency-sensitive applications.
- C. Incorrect.
Disabling client load balancing is not recommended in this scenario, as enabling it helps distribute clients evenly across access points for efficient traffic management.
- D. Incorrect.
Using local management authentication instead of RADIUS is not relevant to this scenario, as RADIUS is typically used for centralized authentication in enterprise environments.
- E. Correct.
Configuring AP groups allows for segmentation of WLANs and application of specific policies, which is beneficial in managing traffic and applying unique configurations per group.
