Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals (WIFUND, legacy) — Question 52

In the AP Layer 3 controller discovery process, after the LWAPP Discovery Request is broadcast on a local subnet, what is the next step that the AP takes?

Answer options

• A. Determine whether the controller responses are the primary controller.
• B. Send an LWAPP discovery request to controllers learned via OTAP if operational.
• C. Send an LWAPP response to the master controller if known.
• D. Wait 5 seconds and resend a Discovery Request to the local subnet.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because once the LWAPP Discovery Request is sent, the AP will attempt to communicate with any controllers it has learned about via OTAP, provided they are operational. Options A and C are incorrect as they describe actions that are not the immediate next step following the broadcast. Option D suggests an unnecessary wait time instead of taking action based on learned controllers.
