Why each option
To enable communication between a Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) and an AireOS Wireless LAN Controller for wIPS, TCP port 16113 must be allowed.
TCP port 80 is used for unencrypted HTTP traffic and is not the designated port for MSE-AireOS controller communication.
TCP port 443 is used for encrypted HTTPS traffic, but it is not the designated port for MSE-AireOS controller communication.
TCP port 8080 is often used for alternative web servers or proxy services and is not the standard port for MSE-AireOS controller communication.
Cisco MSE uses TCP port 16113 for communication with AireOS controllers, specifically for functions like Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) and location services. This port facilitates the secure exchange of control and data plane information between the two systems.
