CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1119

How does a network administrator securely manage an AP in lightweight mode?

Answer options

• A. using the AP GUI via an in-band SSH connection
• B. using the CLI via an out-of-band connection
• C. using the CLI via a virtual interface with SSH
• D. using the WLC GUI via HTTPS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because using the WLC GUI via HTTPS provides a secure management interface for lightweight APs. Options A and C involve in-band methods or SSH, which might not be as secure as HTTPS, while option B, although out-of-band, does not specify a secure protocol like HTTPS.
