Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSI) — Question 29

An engineer configures the wireless LAN controller to perform 802.1x user authentication. Which configuration must be enabled to ensure that client devices can connect to the wireless, even when WLC cannot communicate with the RADIUS?

Answer options

• A. pre-authentication
• B. local EAP
• C. authentication caching
• D. Cisco Centralized Key Management

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is local EAP, which allows clients to authenticate using stored credentials when RADIUS is unavailable. Other options, like pre-authentication and authentication caching, do not provide a solution for connectivity in the absence of RADIUS communication, while Cisco Centralized Key Management is unrelated to user authentication processes.
