Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) — Question 36

How does AP failover priority for access points function when configured with priority 1 or 4?

Answer options

• A. When configured with priority 1, the access point is assigned with the highest priority level, and it is marked as critical. This access point fails over before other access points with the lower priority when there is primary controller failure.
• B. When configured with priority 4, the access point is assigned with the highest priority level, and it is marked as critical. This access point fails over before other access points with the lower priority when there is primary controller failure.
• C. When configured with priority 4, the access point is assigned with the lowest priority level, and it is marked as low. This access point fails over after other access points with the higher priority when there is primary controller failure.
• D. When configured with priority 1, the access point is assigned with the medium priority level, and it is marked as medium. This access point fails over after other access points with the higher priority when there is primary controller failure.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it accurately reflects that an access point configured with priority 4 is marked as critical and will fail over before lower priority access points. Options A and D misstate the assignments of priority levels, while option C incorrectly describes priority 4 as having the lowest priority, which contradicts its intended function.
