CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 127

What is a function of Wireless LAN Controller?

Answer options

• A. register with a single access point that controls traffic between wired and wireless endpoints
• B. use SSIDs to distinguish between wireless clients
• C. send LWAPP packets to access points
• D. monitor activity on wireless and wired LANs

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Wireless LAN Controller is responsible for sending LWAPP packets to manage access points. Option A is incorrect as it describes a single access point's function rather than that of a controller. Option B is not accurate because SSIDs are used by access points, not the controller itself. Option D is also incorrect as monitoring is a function of network management, not specifically attributed to the controller's primary role.
