An engineer is configuring a new SSID to present users with a splash page for authentication. Which WLAN Layer 3 setting must be configured to provide this functionally?

Explanation

Web Policy (Option D) is correct because it is the Layer 3 security setting on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) that enables web-based authentication, allowing administrators to present users with a captive portal or splash page before granting network access - exactly the functionality described.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• CCKM (A) is a Cisco-proprietary fast roaming/re-authentication protocol used to speed up the key exchange process during roaming, not for splash page authentication.
• WPA2 Policy (B) is a Layer 2 security setting that handles encryption and authentication (like 802.1X or PSK), not splash pages.
• Local Policy (C) refers to client profiling and policy enforcement based on device attributes, not web-based splash page redirection.

Memory Tip: Think "Web Policy = Web Page" - if users need to interact with a web-based splash page, you need the Web Policy setting. The word "web" directly connects the feature to its function, making it easy to recall on exam day.
