Explanation
The distribution system port on a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is responsible for connecting to the wired network and forwarding client traffic from access points.
Common mistakes.
- A. A redundancy port is used for high availability and failover between two WLCs, not for normal client traffic forwarding.
- B. A console port is used for direct, out-of-band management and initial configuration of the WLC, not for passing access-point data traffic.
- D. A service port (sometimes called a management port) is typically used for out-of-band management, specific services, or sometimes for internal WLC processes, but the distribution system port is for aggregated access point data traffic.
