• Dend-node vulnerabilities

Explanation

Radio Resource Management (RRM) and Rogue AP Detection

RRM in Cisco WLC is designed to optimize the RF environment, and detecting rogue APs or malicious SSIDs (A) falls directly within its scope - it continuously scans the airwaves for unauthorized access points and suspicious SSIDs that could interfere with or compromise the wireless network. Options B and C are incorrect because detecting unauthorized access attempts and repeated authentication failures are functions of security systems like IDS/IPS or AAA servers (e.g., ISE), not RRM, which focuses on the radio/RF layer rather than user authentication behavior. Option D is incorrect because end-node vulnerability detection belongs to endpoint security tools or vulnerability scanners, which operate at a completely different layer than wireless radio management.

Memory Tip: Think of RRM as a radio watchdog - it watches the airwaves, not the users. Since rogue APs and malicious SSIDs are literally broadcasting over the air, RRM can "hear" and detect them during its constant RF monitoring sweeps. If it involves radio signals in the air, RRM handles it; if it involves user behavior or device software, another tool handles it.
