- D
802.1X authentication for secure client access
- E
Cisco Prime Infrastructure for network monitoring and reporting
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To implement location-based services in a Cisco wireless infrastructure, Cisco DNA Spaces is required for location analytics and services, the WLC is necessary for managing access points, and BLE beacons are used for fine-grained positioning. While 802.1X and Cisco Prime Infrastructure are important for other network functions, they are not core components of location-based services.
- A. Correct.
Cisco DNA Spaces is a critical component for location-based services as it provides advanced location analytics, insights, and services like proximity notifications.
- B. Correct.
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is essential for managing the access points and ensuring proper configuration for location tracking.
- C. Correct.
BLE beacons are commonly used for fine-grained indoor positioning and proximity-based notifications, which are key for location-based services in a retail environment.
- D. Incorrect.
802.1X authentication is not directly related to enabling location-based services. It is primarily used for secure client access to the network.
- E. Incorrect.
Cisco Prime Infrastructure is used for network monitoring and reporting but does not play a direct role in enabling location-based services.
