   What is the typical switch port configuration for an access point (AP) that carries only a single VLAN for wireless client traffic?

   • AConfigured as a routed port with an IP address
   • BConfigured as an access port assigned to that VLAN
   • CConfigured as a dynamic port using DTP to negotiate with the AP
   • DConfigured as a trunk port with native VLAN 1

   A Cisco WLC has four 1 Gbps ports that connect to a single switch. The administrator wants to use all four ports for increased bandwidth and redundancy. The switch ports are configured as a static EtherChannel. The administrator enables LAG on the WLC. What is the expected result?

   • AThe WLC will bundle the four ports into a single logical link and the switch will treat it as one EtherChannel.
   • BThe WLC will use only one port because LAG is not compatible with static EtherChannel.
   • CThe WLC will create four separate logical links.
   • DThe WLC will require LACP to be enabled on the switch ports.

   A small office has a single Cisco WLC and three APs. The APs are connected to a switch that is directly connected to the WLC. The administrator wants to minimize configuration on the APs and ensure they automatically find the WLC. Which method is the simplest and requires no extra DHCP options or DNS records?

   • ACreate a DNS record for 'CISCO-WLC' and point it to the WLC.
   • BRely on the APs' default broadcast discovery on the local subnet.
   • CUse DHCP option 43 to provide the WLC's IP address.
   • DConfigure the APs with the WLC's IP address manually.

   What is the primary purpose of link aggregation (LAG) between an access point (AP) and a switch?

   • ATo enable the AP to use different VLANs on each physical link
   • BTo provide increased bandwidth and redundancy by combining multiple physical links into one logical link
   • CTo allow the AP to connect to multiple switches simultaneously for load balancing of wireless clients
   • DTo provide a backup path to the WLC in case the primary path fails

   A company is deploying a WLAN with multiple APs and a centralized WLC. The APs are connected to access switches, and the WLC is connected to a distribution switch. The engineer needs to ensure that APs can discover the WLC and that client traffic is tunneled back to the WLC. What is the role of the WLC in this architecture?

   • AThe WLC provides management and also acts as the central point for forwarding client traffic.
   • BThe WLC only provides management and configuration, while client traffic is switched locally by the AP.
   • CThe WLC only authenticates clients and does not participate in data forwarding.
   • DThe WLC is only needed for initial AP provisioning and can be removed after configuration.
