Before connecting, mounting, and powering 213 total controller-based APs, what action should be taken to ensure that they are configured by the controller once powered on and connected to the network?
A.
Configure profiles in the controller and assign them to the APs
B.
Configure the controller to provide PoE to the APs
C.
Configure the network to allow the APs to have direct Internet access immediately
D.
Ensure that TLS tunnels will work between the APs and the controller
When using controller-based WLANs, configuration profiles (e.g., for SSIDs, VLANs, radio settings, etc.) are defined on the controller and then assigned to APs—often by AP group or based on AP naming convention or location. This enables automatic provisioning once APs connect to the network.
From CWDP-305:
“Prior to deployment, profiles should be configured on the controller and associated with AP groups or individual APs. Once connected, APs will download their configuration from the controller automatically.”
