300-430 · Question #286
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer completed the configuration of a wireless controller. What are two results of this configuration? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. APs inherit the credentials from this global configuration on the WLC, unless specifically D. Cisco Discovery Protocol is globally enabled, and it can be turned off for a specific AP, if desired. The WLC global AP configuration page sets default credentials and CDP behavior that are inherited by all joined APs unless overridden at the individual AP level.

Exhibit
Options
- AGlobal configuration for APs is AP group-specific in the WLC.
- BAPs joined to this WLC can be accessed through the default credentials.
- CAPs inherit the credentials from this global configuration on the WLC, unless specifically
- DCisco Discovery Protocol is globally enabled, and it can be turned off for a specific AP, if desired.
- EThe changes on this page only apply to APs that would associate to the WLC in the future.

Why each option
The WLC global AP configuration page sets default credentials and CDP behavior that are inherited by all joined APs unless overridden at the individual AP level.
Global AP configuration on the WLC sets controller-wide defaults, not AP group-specific settings; AP group configuration is a separate feature with its own overrides.
Because the global credentials are pushed to APs, they authenticate with the configured credentials rather than default factory credentials, so APs cannot be accessed via default credentials once the global config is applied.
The WLC applies the global AP credential settings (username and password) to all associated APs by default, but an administrator can override these credentials on a per-AP basis in the individual AP configuration, making the global setting an inheritable default rather than an absolute lock.
Cisco Discovery Protocol is enabled globally on the WLC and propagated to all APs, but CDP can be selectively disabled on individual APs through their specific configuration page, giving granular control without changing the global default.
Global AP configuration applies to all currently joined APs as well as future APs; changes take effect immediately across all associated APs, not only new associations.
