350-401 Question #1291: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A network engineer needs to install MSE to use wIPS. In addition, the appliance must communicate with the AireOS controller version 8.9.4384.42975. Which TCP port must be allowed on the network to enable the connection?

Options

• A80
• B443
• C8080
• D16113

Explanation

To enable communication between a Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) and an AireOS Wireless LAN Controller for wIPS, TCP port 16113 must be allowed.

Common mistakes.

• B. TCP port 443 is used for encrypted HTTPS traffic, but it is not the designated port for MSE-AireOS controller communication.
• C. TCP port 8080 is often used for alternative web servers or proxy services and is not the standard port for MSE-AireOS controller communication.
