A WLAN is being configured for guest access using the portal on the Cisco CMX. Which Layer 3 security setting must be selected?
The correct answer is A. Web-Policy-Splash Page Redirect. To redirect guest clients to an external portal such as Cisco CMX for authentication, the Layer 3 security policy must be set to Web-Policy Splash Page Redirect, which sends unauthenticated clients to a specified external URL.

Why each option
To redirect guest clients to an external portal such as Cisco CMX for authentication, the Layer 3 security policy must be set to Web-Policy Splash Page Redirect, which sends unauthenticated clients to a specified external URL.
Web-Policy Splash Page Redirect configures the WLC to intercept HTTP traffic from unauthenticated clients and redirect their browser to an external URL - in this case the Cisco CMX guest portal - before granting network access.
Web-Policy Conditional Web Redirect is triggered by RADIUS attributes returned during authentication, used to redirect already-authenticated clients, not to send guests to an external captive portal.
Web-Policy Passthrough grants network access after the client acknowledges a splash page but does not perform portal-based authentication via an external system like CMX.
Web-Policy Authentication presents the WLC's own internal web authentication page rather than redirecting to an external portal such as CMX.
