350-401 Question 271
Single answerA network engineer is configuring WebAuth on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to provide guest access. The engineer wants to ensure that users are redirected to a custom web portal after associating with the guest Wi-Fi network. Which step is necessary to achieve this configuration?
- A
Enable the Web Policy on the WLAN and configure it for WebAuth.
- B
Ensure the WLC is configured with a DHCP server for guest clients.
- C
Configure a pre-shared key (PSK) for the guest WLAN.
- D
Assign a RADIUS server for user authentication.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
WebAuth on a Cisco WLC redirects users to a web-based authentication portal. To enable this feature, the Web Policy must be enabled on the WLAN, and WebAuth must be configured. This ensures that clients associating with the WLAN are redirected to the desired web portal for authentication.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct answer. Enabling the Web Policy and configuring it for WebAuth ensures that users are redirected to the web portal after associating with the network.
- B. Incorrect.
While DHCP is necessary for guests to receive an IP address, it is not directly related to the WebAuth redirect configuration.
- C. Incorrect.
A pre-shared key is not required when implementing WebAuth. WebAuth is designed to provide authentication through a web portal, not pre-shared keys.
- D. Incorrect.
RADIUS is not required for basic WebAuth. WebAuth can function with a local web portal hosted by the WLC without external RADIUS servers.
