Cisco 350-101 Exam - Topic 3 Question 3 Discussion

An onsite engineer is working to connect devices to the wireless network using central switching in a corporate environment. Security protocols and network-specific settings must be configured as per enterprise policy. After the initial wireless settings are applied on an iOS tablet, the engineer must ensure that VLAN ID 10 is assigned on the client device to complete a successful enterprise Wi-Fi connection. Which action meets this requirement?
C) Configure the policy profile to use VLAN 10, and ensure the WLAN profile is mapped to it.
A) Disable VLAN tagging on the WLAN and configure the APs switch port as an access port on VLAN 10 to assign the VLAN to the client device.
B) Manually set VLAN ID 10 on the iOS tablets Wi-Fi settings to ensure VLAN 10 is allowed through the APs switch port.
D) Configure the AP to assign VLAN ID 1 by default and rely on the switch to redirect traffic to VLAN 10 based on MAC address filtering.

Suggested Answer: C

In a centrally switched deployment, the WLAN traffic is tunneled via CAPWAP from the AP to the WLC, where VLAN assignment occurs. To ensure that client devices are placed into the correct VLAN (in this case, VLAN 10), the WLAN policy profile must define the VLAN mapping. This allows the WLC to tag client traffic appropriately when forwarding to the upstream switch. Option C is correct because it configures the WLAN profile (policy profile) with VLAN 10, ensuring all clients associating with the WLAN are mapped to the proper VLAN automatically. Option A is incorrect because VLAN tagging is managed centrally on the WLC, and access ports at the AP are typically trunked or transparent in central switching mode. Option B is invalid; manually configuring VLAN on client devices is not feasible or scalable in enterprise deployments and does not integrate with CAPWAP central switching. Option D is also incorrect; relying on MAC-based redirection introduces complexity and is not standard practice for VLAN assignment in centrally switched networks. Cisco Wireless Core Technologies recommend using policy profiles to centrally enforce VLANs, simplifying management, ensuring security compliance, and supporting consistent enterprise Wi-Fi connectivity.

I think option C is the best choice. It aligns with enterprise policies.

Wait, can you really set VLAN ID on an iOS device? Sounds odd.

I think A could work too, but not the best choice.

I’m a bit confused about the default VLAN assignment in option D. It seems risky to rely on MAC filtering for VLAN assignment.

I practiced a similar question where configuring the policy profile was key. That makes me lean towards option C as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like manually setting the VLAN ID on the tablet might not be the best practice. Could it be option C instead?

I think I remember that VLAN tagging is important for keeping traffic separate, so maybe option A is the right choice?
