QuestionQ1176

Network Access

What is one reason to configure a trunk port that connects to a WLC distribution port?

  • A Provide redundancy if there is a link failure for out-of-band management.
  • B Allow multiple VLANs to be used in the data path.
  • C Permit multiple VLANs to provide out-of-band management.
  • D Eliminate redundancy with a link failure in the data path.
Explanation

A trunk is used on the WLC distribution-system link so the controller and adjacent switch can carry traffic for more than one VLAN on the data path. Cisco documentation states that a distribution system port serves as the data path to the neighboring switch and recommends configuring controller ports in trunk mode; it also states that multiple dynamic interfaces can be configured on a distribution system port, which is how multiple VLANs are supported.
