Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks: Mapping Subnets to Corporate WLAN

Mapping Subnets to Corporate WLAN

Question

An engineer is reducing the subnet size of the corporate WLAN by segmenting the VLAN into smaller subnets.

Clients will be assigned a subnet by location.

Which type of groups should the engineer use to map the smaller subnets to the corporate WLAN?

In this scenario, the engineer wants to segment the corporate WLAN by assigning different subnets to clients based on their location. To accomplish this, the engineer will need to create groups that map the smaller subnets to the corporate WLAN.

The correct group type to use in this case is AP groups. AP groups allow you to group access points together based on their physical location or other criteria, and apply specific configurations to those groups. By creating AP groups and assigning access points to them based on their location, the engineer can then assign the appropriate subnet to each AP group.

WLC port groups are used to group physical ports on a wireless LAN controller (WLC) together for configuration purposes, such as assigning VLANs or QoS policies. This is not directly relevant to subnet segmentation.

RF groups are used to group access points together based on their radio frequency characteristics, such as transmit power, channel settings, or interference. This is also not directly relevant to subnet segmentation.

Interface groups are used to group physical or logical interfaces together on a device for configuration purposes, such as assigning IP addresses or VLANs. While this could potentially be used to assign subnets to different interfaces, it is not the most intuitive or scalable approach in a wireless network.

Therefore, AP groups are the correct group type to use in this scenario, as they allow for logical grouping of access points based on physical location or other criteria, and can be used to assign specific subnets to each group.
