  • BEnable Network Access Control State.
  • CSet AAA Policy name.
  • DSet RADIUS Profiling.

Why each option

To allow a RADIUS server like Cisco ISE to dynamically assign a guest VLAN after web authentication, the "AAA Override" feature must be enabled on the WLAN.

AEnable AAA Override.Correct

Enabling "AAA Override" on the Wireless LAN (WLAN) configuration instructs the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to accept and apply attributes, such as VLAN assignments (e.g., from RADIUS Access-Accept messages), provided by the external RADIUS server (like Cisco ISE) after successful authentication. This is essential for dynamic VLAN assignment in guest access or role-based access scenarios.

BEnable Network Access Control State.

Enabling "Network Access Control State" relates to posture assessment and enabling/disabling NAC functionality, not the dynamic assignment of VLANs by a RADIUS server.

CSet AAA Policy name.

Setting an "AAA Policy name" defines which AAA server group or policy to use for authentication, but it does not intrinsically enable the WLC to override local VLAN settings based on RADIUS attributes.

DSet RADIUS Profiling.

"RADIUS Profiling" is a feature of ISE that identifies endpoint types based on collected attributes, used for policy decisions, but it does not directly enable the WLC to accept dynamic VLAN assignments.
