Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSI) — Question 42

An engineer is configuring multicast for two WLCs. The controllers are in different physical locations and each handles around 500 wireless clients. How should the CAPWAP multicast group address be assigned during configuration?

Answer options

• A. Each WLC must be assigned a unique multicast group address.
• B. Each WLC management address must be in the same multicast group.
• C. Both WLCs must be assigned the same multicast group address.
• D. Each WLC management address must be in a different multicast group.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because each WLC should have its own unique multicast group address to avoid conflicts and ensure proper traffic management. Options B and C incorrectly suggest that the management addresses should be in the same group, which is not suitable given their separate locations. Option D is incorrect as it does not require the management addresses to be in the same multicast group, which is not applicable in this context.
