Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 48

Why is an AP joining a different WLC than the one specified through option 43?

Answer options

• A. The AP is joining a primed WLC
• B. The APs broadcast traffic is unable to reach the WLC through Layer 2
• C. The AP multicast traffic is unable to reach the WLC through Layer 3
• D. The WLC is running a different software version

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a primed WLC indicates that the AP has been configured to join this controller, overriding option 43. Options B and C refer to potential network issues that could prevent communication but do not explain the AP's choice of WLC. Option D is not relevant since software version discrepancies do not dictate which WLC an AP will attempt to join.
