CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 964

When more than one AP-Manager interface is provisioned on a wireless LAN controller, how is the request handled by the AP?

Answer options

• A. The discovery response from the AP to the AP-Manager interface disables the WLAN port.
• B. The AP join request fails and must be configured statically on the AP-Manager interface.
• C. The AP-Manager with the fewest number of APs is used by the AP to join.
• D. The first AP-Manager interface to respond is chosen by the AP.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the AP selects the AP-Manager interface that is managing the least number of access points to balance the load. Option A is incorrect as it refers to disabling the WLAN port, which is not related to the request handling. Option B is also incorrect because it implies a failure that does not occur in this context, and option D is wrong as the AP does not simply choose the first responder but follows a specific method based on the number of connected APs.
