Cisco 300-425 Exam - Topic 9 Question 121 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-425 exam

Question #: 121
Topic #: 9

A customer called with a requirement that internal clients must be on different subnets depending on the building they are in. All access points are operating in local mode and will not be modified, and this is a single controller solution. Which design approach creates the desired result?

ACreate AP groups for each desired location, map the correct VLANs to the internal SSID, and add the access points for that location.

BCreate an SSID place it to the desired VLAN under WLANs and configure 802.1x in ISE to assign the correct VLAN based on the SSID from which the client is authenticating

DCreate mobility anchors for the SSID and on the controller under the internal SSID create a foreign map to the desired VLAN based on location.

CCreate FlexConnect groups, place the access points in, and set the correct VLAN to SSID mapping based on location.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Creating AP groups for each location allows for the mapping of specific VLANs to an internal SSID tailored for that area. This approach enables clients to be on different subnets based on their building location within a single controller environment.

I’m a bit confused about how local mode access points handle this; do we need to configure anything specific on the controller for the subnets?

This sounds similar to a practice question we did on subnetting; I believe we can use the controller to manage the VLAN assignments effectively.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about using DHCP scopes to assign different subnets based on the access point's location.

I think we might need to set up different VLANs for each building to achieve the subnet separation.

I've seen this type of scenario before. I bet we can use the controller to assign clients to different subnets based on their location. Time to dig into the configuration options!

I think the key here is figuring out how to segment the clients by building without changing the access points. Maybe we can use different SSIDs or something?

I'm a bit confused on the local mode requirement. Does that mean we can't use VLANs or something? I'll have to review that part.

Okay, so we need to isolate clients by building, but can't modify the access points. Sounds like we'll need to get creative with the controller configuration.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the network topology and subnet requirements carefully.
