Question

A network administrator plans an update to the WI-FI networks in multiple branch offices. Each location is configured with an SSID called 揙ffice? The administrator wants every user who connects to the SSID at any location to have the same access level. What must be set the same on each network to meet the requirement?

Options

  • Aradio policy
  • Bprofile name
  • CNAS-ID configuration
  • Dsecurity policies

Why each option

To ensure users connecting to the same SSID across multiple locations have identical access levels, the underlying security policies (e.g., authentication methods, authorization rules, VLAN assignments) must be configured identically on each network.

Aradio policy

A radio policy defines settings related to the radio itself (e.g., band, transmit power, data rates), not the user's access level.

Bprofile name

A profile name is typically an internal identifier for a configuration set; while it's good practice to use consistent naming, the name itself does not dictate user access levels.

CNAS-ID configuration

NAS-ID (Network Access Server Identifier) is used by RADIUS servers to identify the specific network access device from which an authentication request originates; it helps the RADIUS server apply the correct policy but doesn't *define* the access level itself.

Dsecurity policiesCorrect

To ensure the same access level for users connecting to the same SSID across different locations, the security policies, including authentication methods, authorization rules, and potentially VLAN assignments tied to those authentications, must be consistent across all networks.
