200-301 Question #1172: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is D: security policies. 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.

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

Explanation

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.

Common mistakes.

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

Concept tested. Centralized wireless network management and security policy consistency
