Question

A customer uses a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller and Cisco 802.11ax APs. The management has requested the ability to see what type of devices are on the wireless network. Which two types of local device profiling must be used? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AIP address
  • Bwireless supplicant
  • CRADIUS
  • DDHCP
  • EMAC Address OUI

Why each option

Local device profiling on the Cisco Catalyst 9800 uses DHCP fingerprinting and MAC OUI lookup to identify the type of wireless devices on the network.

AIP address

IP address alone carries no information about device type or manufacturer and is not used as a profiling attribute for device classification.

Bwireless supplicant

Wireless supplicant information relates to 802.1X EAP authentication identity and is not a local profiling method for determining device category or type.

CRADIUS

RADIUS is an authentication and authorization protocol and is not itself a local device profiling mechanism - profiling data may be sent via RADIUS but RADIUS is not the profiling type.

DDHCPCorrect

DHCP profiling inspects DHCP option fields (such as Option 55 - Parameter Request List) included in client DHCP requests, which vary by operating system and device type, allowing the controller to classify the device.

EMAC Address OUICorrect

MAC Address OUI profiling uses the first three octets of a client's MAC address to identify the hardware manufacturer, which provides a reliable local signal for determining device type without requiring external infrastructure.
