Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D
Explanation
To implement OfficeExtend, it is essential to configure the SSID and security policies on the WLC to allow the OEAP to serve the corporate wireless network. Additionally, the OEAP's MAC address must be registered on the WLC to ensure it can connect and authenticate with the corporate network. These configurations ensure the remote employee can securely connect to the corporate network from home.
- A. Incorrect.
FlexConnect mode is not used for OfficeExtend APs. Instead, OEAPs operate in a specific mode designed for remote connectivity back to the corporate WLC.
- B. Correct.
The SSID and security policies need to be configured for the OEAP to ensure proper wireless connectivity for the remote user.
- C. Incorrect.
The Remote LAN feature is not a mandatory configuration for enabling the OfficeExtend functionality. It is used in specific scenarios for wired connections.
- D. Correct.
The MAC address of the OEAP must be registered on the WLC to allow the AP to connect and be managed by the controller.
- E. Incorrect.
Enabling HTTPS is good for secure management but is not directly related to the OfficeExtend functionality.
