A new MSE with wIPS service has been installed and no alarm information appears to be reaching the MSE from controllers.
Which protocol must be allowed to reach the MSE from the controllers?

A. B. C. D.A.
In this scenario, the problem is that the MSE with wIPS service is not receiving any alarm information from the controllers. This indicates that there may be an issue with the communication between the controllers and the MSE.
To determine the correct protocol that must be allowed to reach the MSE from the controllers, we need to understand the function of each of the protocols listed in the answer choices.
A. SOAP/XML (Simple Object Access Protocol/Extensible Markup Language): This protocol is used for exchanging structured information between systems. It is commonly used for web services and APIs. However, it is not directly related to wireless networks, so it is unlikely that this protocol is required for communication between the controllers and the MSE.
B. NMSP (Network Mobility Services Protocol): This protocol is used by Cisco wireless controllers to communicate with other controllers or network devices such as MSEs. NMSP is used for configuration, synchronization, and data exchange. However, NMSP is not specifically used for wIPS alarms, so it is unlikely that this protocol is the correct answer.
C. CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points): This protocol is used for communication between wireless access points (APs) and controllers. CAPWAP is used to configure APs, exchange data, and manage the network. However, CAPWAP is not directly related to wIPS alarms, so it is unlikely that this protocol is the correct answer.
D. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): This protocol is used to manage and monitor network devices. It is commonly used to collect information from devices such as routers, switches, and wireless controllers. SNMP can be used to collect wIPS alarm information from controllers and send it to the MSE for analysis. Therefore, SNMP is the most likely answer for the protocol that must be allowed to reach the MSE from the controllers.
In conclusion, the protocol that must be allowed to reach the MSE from the controllers to enable wIPS alarms is SNMP.
