A network engineer needs to capture wireless traffic on a specific channel to analyze a security incident. The AP is currently in monitor mode. The engineer wants to use Wireshark on a laptop to analyze the frames. What must be done?

Keep the AP in monitor mode and connect the laptop to the WLC

Place the laptop in the same room and use its wireless card

Change the AP to sniffer mode and configure the laptop as the receiver

Use a wired tap on the AP's uplink

In a centralized (split-MAC) architecture, which functions are handled by the wireless LAN controller (WLC)?

Management and control functions such as authentication and configuration

Client data encryption and decryption

Real-time wireless operations such as beaconing and frame forwarding

Which Cisco wireless architecture model is characterized by the AP being managed by a controller that resides in the cloud, with the AP maintaining a permanent connection to that cloud service for management and control?

Centralized (split-MAC) architecture
