Security Fundamentals

How can a network administrator securely manage an AP that is operating in lightweight mode?

  • A using the AP GUI via an in-band SSH connection
  • B using the CLI via an out-of-band connection
  • C using the CLI via a virtual interface with SSH
  • D using the WLC GUI via HTTPS
Explanation

A lightweight AP is managed through its wireless LAN controller rather than as an independently administered device. The secure management method is to use the WLC management interface, and HTTPS provides encrypted administrative access to the controller GUI. Direct AP GUI or SSH-based AP management is not the normal management model for lightweight mode, and the virtual interface is not used for device administration.
