Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals (WIFUND, legacy) — Question 117

A lightweight AP has been deployed in local mode in a network that consists of 10 wireless LAN controllers in a single mobility group. The AP has been configured to use primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco WLCs. Due to a major power failure, all those Cisco WLCs are unavailable.
Which step does the AP take next?

Answer options

• A. The AP reboots and repeatedly attempts to join the configured primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco WLCs in that order. The process continues until one of the configured Cisco WLCs is available.
• B. The AP attempts to join a Cisco WLC configured as a master controller.
• C. The AP attempts to join the Cisco WLC that has the greatest capacity available.
• D. The AP state transitions to AP Fallback Mode and continues to provide limited WLAN services (that is, no new client authentications) until a Cisco WLC is

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because in the event of a power failure of all configured WLCs, the lightweight AP will seek to join a master controller to ensure continuity. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they either describe incorrect behaviors of the AP or are not applicable when all primary controllers are down.
