Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 1230 discussion

I think the answer is A, "is in autonomous mode"

When an access point (AP) operates in autonomous mode, it functions independently without requiring a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). If the AP offers a single SSID and handles both client data and management traffic, a wired access port is sufficient. This is because: Access Ports are configured to carry traffic for a single VLAN. The AP in autonomous mode does not require VLAN tagging for multiple VLANs, as all traffic (data and management) is handled within a single VLAN.

the correct answer is C. access

If the AP will be handling user traffic and management traffic, its important to separate the two. This is done by placing them in different vlans. For two or more vlans to pass through a link, that link needs to be a trunk link.

it´s A, trunk for 2 VLANs

here are the relevant Cisco documentation links that discuss the requirement of a trunk port when an Access Point (AP) is in autonomous mode and offers one unique SSID while passing both client data and management traffic: Cisco IOS Configuration Guide for Autonomous Aironet Access Points Overview of Access Point Features What the difference when APs are connected to a Access port or a trunk Configure SSID on Autonomous AP These documents provide detailed information about the configuration and operation of APs in autonomous mode, including the requirement for a trunk port under certain conditions. Please review these resources for more information.

even when the Access Point (AP) is in autonomous mode, it still requires a trunk port if it is offering one unique SSID and passing both client data and management traffic. This is because the AP needs to handle traffic from multiple VLANs - the native VLAN for management traffic and the VLAN associated with the SSID for client data traffic. The trunk port allows the AP to handle this multi-VLAN traffic. So, the answer remains: A. trunk

When an autonomous Access Point (AP) offers a single SSID and needs to pass both client data and management traffic over the same interface, the wired port on the switch it connects to is typically configured as an access port. This is because an access port belongs to a single VLAN, and in the case of an autonomous AP with one SSID, all traffic would be on the same VLAN. So the answer would be: C. access

Has to be trunk since its best practice to use different vlans for data and management traffic respectively. If they only specified the data vlan, i would be more inclined to choose access, but im not sure if thats ever an option with the autonomous APs

AI answer Yes, the practice of separating client data and management traffic into separate VLANs is also applicable to Autonomous Access Points (APs)[1][2][3]. This separation allows for better control, security, and optimization of network traffic, even in autonomous mode where APs operate as standalone devices without the need for Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs). By segregating client data and management traffic into distinct VLANs, network administrators can enhance security measures and ensure efficient network operations. While not mandatory, this segregation is a common best practice in network configurations to maintain network integrity and performance.

Each autonomous AP will require a trunk link to connect it to the wired network infrastructure.

It´s A = trunk

one vlan for passes client data and one vlan for management traffic

When an access point (AP) operates in autonomous mode and provides one unique SSID while passing both client data and management traffic, the required wired port configuration is: C. access In this context: - Access ports are used for connecting end devices like APs. - Trunk ports are typically used when carrying multiple VLANs. - Default is not a specific port type in this context. - LAG (Link Aggregation Group) is a mechanism used to bundle multiple physical links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth and redundancy. It may not be directly related to a single SSID in autonomous mode. Therefore, the correct choice for an AP in autonomous mode with one unique SSID is an access port.

The correct answer is C. access. In this scenario, the AP is offering only one unique SSID, meaning there is no need for a trunk port which carries multiple VLANs. The AP is also passing both client data and management traffic, so an access port that carries both types of traffic would be appropriate. Autonomous mode simply means that the AP is functioning independently and not connected to a centralized controller, so there is no need for any specific type of port like LAG (Link Aggregation Group) or default. Therefore, the access port would be used in this situation.

"You can assign more than one SSID to a given VLAN. However, a given SSID can be mapped to only one VLAN. Also, the SSID to VLAN mapping must be unique per interface." "You can set the primary Ethernet port as a trunk and handle multiple VLANs" So one SSD means one VLAN. Sounds like an access port is fine here, and that a trunk is only necessary if there's multiple VLANs on the same AP, which there isn't.
