The wireless client should have received a new role to allow internet access.What should the network technician verify to ensure both SSIDs function in a similar way?
D) Verify the firewall policies assigned, making sure the rules are correct and ordered properly.
A) Verify each SSID's authentication and encryption parameters are enabled and the same.

[All HPE6-A85 Questions]

A network technician is testing a new SSID for a branch office. They are able to connect, get an IP address, and resolve DNS names. However, they are not able to browse the internet.

On the existing SSID at the branch, connectivity to the internet works as expected on the same VLAN as the new SSID. The wireless client should have received a new role to allow internet access.

What should the network technician verify to ensure both SSIDs function in a similar way?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

When a network technician encounters an issue where a new SSID does not allow internet access despite successful connectivity and DNS resolution, they should verify the firewall policies associated with the new SSID. The firewall policies must include rules that permit traffic to and from the internet and should be correctly ordered to ensure that they are applied as intended. Since the existing SSID functions correctly, comparing the firewall rules between the two can be a useful method of troubleshooting.

I think option D is crucial. Firewall rules can block access.

Definitely! If it's not broadcasting, no one can connect properly.

True, but if the existing SSID works, the rules must be the issue.

The new SSID should be on all APs, no doubt about that.

I wonder if the new SSID is even broadcasting on all APs. I feel like that could be a simple oversight.

I recall something about the implicit 'deny all' rule being crucial. It could be blocking traffic for the new SSID.

I think we should check the firewall policies. I remember a practice question where the order of rules affected connectivity.
