When configuring a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for communication with ISE, what
must be configured for the wireless LAN (WLAN)? (Choose two.)
- A.The authentication and authorization RADIUS servers can be pointed to different ISE PSNs, as long as those PSNs are part of a node group.
- B.The authentication and authorization RADIUS servers can be pointed to the same ISE PSN.
- C.The WLAN must be configured for SNMP NAC.
- D.The WLAN must be configured for RADIUS NAC.
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [B, D]
Explanation :
Explanation :
When interacting with an advanced RADIUS server, such as Cisco ISE, Cisco WLCs require that the same ISE PSN be configured as the authentication and accounting server for the WLAN. Additionally, RADIUS NAC must be enabled on the advanced tab of the WLAN configuration. |

What is the purpose of adding a user with the username radius-test password
password command?
- A.The switch can send periodic RADIUS Access-Requests to the AAA servers to verify whether they are still alive. The username and password will be used for that test.
- B.The username and password are used for the local RADIUS server available in the switch, which is used in WAN down scenarios.
- C.The username and password are used for the supplicant’s outer identity to authenticate against the switch local user database.
- D.Without the local username and password in the configuration, an administrator can be locked out of the switch when the RADIUS server is unavailable.
- Answer & Explanation

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Explanation :
The switch will send periodic test authentication messages to the RADIUS server (Cisco ISE). It is looking for a RADIUS response from the server, either an Access-Accept or Access- Reject will suffice. The username and password used by the automated test must exist in the configuration. |
