   A network administrator is connecting a standalone AP (not controller-based) to a switch. The AP will provide a single SSID for the office network. The switch port is currently configured as a trunk. What is the recommended configuration for the switch port?

   • AChange the switch port to an access port in the office VLAN.
   • BSet the switch port to a trunk with native VLAN 1.
   • CConfigure the switch port as a routed port with an IP address.
   • DKeep the switch port as a trunk and allow only the office VLAN.

   A company is deploying a WLAN with a WLC and several APs. The APs are connected to access switches, and the WLC is connected to a distribution switch. The engineer wants to ensure that if the WLC fails, the APs continue to provide wireless service. What is the correct approach?

   • AUse LAG between the APs and the switch to provide redundancy.
   • BDeploy a second WLC and configure the APs to failover to it.
   • CConnect the APs directly to the distribution switch to bypass the WLC.
   • DConfigure the APs to operate in autonomous mode after the WLC fails.

   What is the primary role of an access point (AP) in a WLAN infrastructure?

   • ATo bridge wireless client traffic onto the wired network and manage the radio frequency (RF) medium
   • BTo provide centralized policy enforcement and RF management for all wireless clients
   • CTo route IP packets between different VLANs on the wired network
   • DTo authenticate users and enforce security policies for all wireless clients

   A company is deploying a WLAN with a WLC and multiple APs. The APs are connected to access switches, and the WLC is connected to a core switch. The engineer wants to ensure that AP management traffic is encrypted and that client traffic is not sent over the wired network in clear text. What is the correct configuration?

   • AUse CAPWAP without DTLS and rely on the wired network security.
   • BUse CAPWAP with DTLS to encrypt AP management traffic and tunnel client traffic to the WLC.
   • CUse a separate VLAN for management and client traffic to ensure security.
   • DUse a VPN tunnel between the AP and the WLC for all traffic.

   A company has a WLAN with a WLC and multiple APs. The APs are connected to access switches, and the WLC is connected to a core switch. The engineer needs to ensure that AP-to-WLC management traffic is isolated from client data traffic. What is the best way to achieve this?

   • AUse the same VLAN for both AP management and client data traffic.
   • BConfigure the AP switch ports as trunk ports and allow only the client data VLAN.
   • CUse a separate VLAN for AP management and configure the AP switch ports as access ports in that VLAN.
   • DUse a routed port for the AP and a separate VLAN for client data.
