Explanation

Radio Resource Management in Cisco SD-Access Wireless

In a Cisco SD-Access wireless solution, Radio Resource Management (RRM) is performed by the wireless controller because RRM is a core wireless function responsible for dynamically managing RF parameters such as channel assignment, transmit power, and interference mitigation - tasks that remain with the wireless controller regardless of the SD-Access overlay architecture.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• DNA Center (A) serves as the management and orchestration platform (intent-based networking), handling policy and automation, but does not directly perform real-time RF management
• Control plane node (B) handles LISP-based mapping and location services for the SD-Access fabric, not wireless RF functions
• Cisco CMX (D) is a location analytics and engagement platform that uses RF data but does not manage or control radio resources

Memory Tip: Think of it this way - the wireless controller is the "brain" of the wireless network and retains its traditional responsibilities (RRM, roaming, security) even within SD-Access. SD-Access adds the fabric, but the WLC keeps its wireless job. Associate RRM with the device that has always managed radios: the WLC = Wireless tasks.
