Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 308

An engineer has deployed a single Cisco 5520 WLC with a management IP address of 172 16.50.5/24. The engineer must register 50 new Cisco AIR-CAP2802I-
E-K9 access points to the WLC using DHCP option 43. The access points are connected to a switch in VLAN 100 that uses the 172.16.100.0/24 subnet. The engineer has configured the DHCP scope on the switch as follows:
Network 172.16.100.0 255.255.255.0

Default Router 172.16.100.1 -

Option 43 ASCII 172.16.50.5 -
The access points are failing to join the wireless LAN controller. Which action resolves the issue?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the access points require the WLC's IP address in a hexadecimal format for option 43. The other options either provide incorrect hexadecimal values for the WLC or address DNS settings, which are not relevant to the access points' registration process.
