The correct answer is C. Priority MAC. The Priority MAC feature on Cisco WLC reserves SP-DB entries for specific device MAC addresses, ensuring shared resources like wireless printers are not displaced by high volumes of student device mDNS advertisements.

Why each option

The Priority MAC feature on Cisco WLC reserves SP-DB entries for specific device MAC addresses, ensuring shared resources like wireless printers are not displaced by high volumes of student device mDNS advertisements.

AmDNS-AP

mDNS-AP refers to an access point's role in processing mDNS traffic locally at Layer 2 boundaries but provides no mechanism to reserve or prioritize specific SP-DB entries.

BLSS

LSS (Location-based Services System) is used for client asset tracking and location data and has no function related to SP-DB entry allocation or mDNS service prioritization.

CPriority MACCorrect

Priority MAC allows administrators to designate specific MAC addresses as high-priority entries in the SP-DB (Service Provider Database), guaranteeing that those entries - such as shared wireless printers - always maintain reserved slots regardless of how many other mDNS service records are competing for space.

Dsso

SSO (Stateful Switchover) is a controller redundancy and high-availability feature that is unrelated to mDNS SP-DB management or device priority.
