Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
Implementing Cisco OfficeExtend requires configuring the AP as an OfficeExtend AP on the WLC, enabling and mapping wireless LANs, and establishing a secure DTLS tunnel between the AP and the WLC. These steps ensure secure and seamless wireless connectivity for remote employees without deploying additional infrastructure at their location.
- A. Correct.
Correct, The AP must be explicitly configured as an OfficeExtend AP on the WLC to support this mode of operation.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect, The AP does not require a public IP address. It only needs to reach the WLC, typically through NAT or a VPN.
- C. Correct.
Correct, Wireless LANs must be enabled and mapped to the OfficeExtend AP to provide wireless services to the remote employee.
- D. Correct.
Correct, A secure DTLS tunnel is mandatory to ensure encrypted communication between the AP and the WLC.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect, A local wireless controller is not required. The OfficeExtend AP connects directly to the corporate WLC over the Internet.
