Question 210
An operations ticket for Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) secure browser-based device administration on a WLC, and (2) prevent a downstream switch from claiming the root role over an uplink. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both outcomes are covered: (1) HTTPS uses TLS to protect management web sessions in transit. (2) Root Guard holds the port in a root-inconsistent state if superior BPDUs arrive. Neither action is a substitute for the other.
Incorrect Answers
The second step covers (2), but the first addresses deploy standalone wireless connectivity at a tiny site without a central WLC. An autonomous or locally managed AP does not depend on a separate enterprise WLC for all management. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
The first step covers (1), but the second addresses route between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 using a multilayer switch. Layer 3 forwarding across VLANs requires an active routed interface for each subnet. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
Neither step is the requested pair: Create and enable the WLAN/SSID in the controller GUI is for publish a wireless network name for corporate users from a WLC, and Enable a supported protected authentication and encryption policy on the WLAN is for reject unsecured wireless client associations on a protected SSID. The WLAN profile binds an SSID to its wireless security and policy configuration. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
