Configuring AP Filter for DHCP Server

AD.

In order to configure a Cisco WCS to provide an additional layer of security by outlining which APs your DHCP servers will respond to, you can use the AP MAC address and AP host name or AP MAC address and AP SSID.

Explanation:

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) servers can be configured to provide IP addresses to wireless clients based on the MAC address of the access point (AP). This is known as DHCP filtering, and it provides an additional layer of security by ensuring that only authorized APs can provide IP addresses to wireless clients.

To configure DHCP filtering on a Cisco WCS, you can use the AP MAC address and AP host name or AP MAC address and AP SSID.

Option A: AP MAC address The AP MAC address is a unique identifier for each access point. By using the AP MAC address, you can configure the DHCP server to only respond to requests from authorized APs.

Option B: AP MAC address and AP host name The AP host name is a user-defined name for each access point. By using the combination of the AP MAC address and AP host name, you can configure the DHCP server to only respond to requests from authorized APs with a specific MAC address and host name.

Option C: AP host name While using only the AP host name is not an option, it can be used in combination with the AP MAC address to provide an additional layer of security.

Option D: AP MAC address and AP SSID The AP SSID is the name of the wireless network broadcasted by the access point. While the AP SSID can be used to identify the wireless network, it cannot be used to identify a specific access point. Therefore, using only the AP SSID is not an option. However, it can be used in combination with the AP MAC address to provide an additional layer of security.

In conclusion, options A and B or options A and D can be used to achieve the objective of configuring a Cisco WCS to provide an additional layer of security by outlining which APs your DHCP servers will respond to.
