The correct answer is B. Add an AP group for the specified location and add the location APs to the group. AP groups on a Cisco WLC allow administrators to assign a custom subset of WLANs to a defined group of access points at a specific location without altering the global WLAN configuration for other sites.
Question
A customer wants to restrict the number of SSIDs being offered in a specific location, but with a single WLC enterprise wide. The customer is enabled to delete the SSIDs globally without impacting users at other sites. Which action fulfills this requirement?
Options
- AConfigure a FlexConnect group for the specified location and add the location APs to the group.
- BAdd an AP group for the specified location and add the location APs to the group.
- CChange the WLAN ID of the desired SSIDs to greater than 16 and then disable them.
- DApply an access control list to restrict access at the specified location.

Why each option
AP groups on a Cisco WLC allow administrators to assign a custom subset of WLANs to a defined group of access points at a specific location without altering the global WLAN configuration for other sites.
FlexConnect groups are used to synchronize FlexConnect configuration such as CCKM, ACLs, and local switching settings among remote APs, not to restrict which SSIDs are advertised at a location.
An AP group lets the administrator create a location-specific binding between a set of APs and a selected list of WLANs. APs not in the group continue to broadcast the default WLAN set, so removing SSIDs from one AP group has no effect on APs at other locations, fully meeting the requirement to restrict SSIDs locally without a global change.
Changing a WLAN ID above 16 and disabling it affects the WLAN globally across the entire controller, which would remove the SSID for all sites and not just the target location.
Applying an ACL restricts the traffic allowed through a WLAN but does not prevent the SSID from being advertised or remove it from specific APs at a location.
Concept tested: WLC AP groups for per-location SSID restriction
