A wireless engineer must implement a corporate wireless network for a large company in the most efficient way possible. The wireless network must support 32 VLANs for 300 employees in different departments. Which solution must the engineer choose?
A.
Configure a second WLC to support half of the APs in the deployment.
B.
Configure one single SSID and implement Cisco ISE for VLAN assignment according to different user roles.
C.
Configure different AP groups to support different VLANs, so that all of the WLANs can be broadcast on both radios.
D.
Configure 16 WLANs to be broadcast on the 2.4-GHz band and 16 WLANs to be broadcast on the 5.0-GHz band.
Single SSID with VLAN Assignment:
Using a single SSID simplifies the wireless network configuration and improves user experience. Employees can connect to the same SSID regardless of their department or role.
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) can dynamically assign users to the appropriate VLAN based on their role, credentials, or other attributes (e.g., department, device type, or security posture). This eliminates the need to configure multiple SSIDs or AP groups for each VLAN.
Scalability and Manageability:
A single SSID reduces the complexity of managing multiple SSIDs and ensures consistent wireless coverage.
Cisco ISE provides centralized policy enforcement, making it easier to manage VLAN assignments and security policies for a large number of users.
Efficient Use of Wireless Resources:
Broadcasting fewer SSIDs reduces airtime overhead and improves wireless performance.
Dynamically assigning VLANs based on user roles ensures that employees are placed on the correct network segment without manual intervention.
