Preventing over-the-air direct P2P communication on Cisco Autonomous APs

A.

The correct answer to the question is C. P2P Blocking Action.

P2P communication is a type of communication that occurs directly between two devices without the need for an intermediate network device, such as a router. This type of communication can pose a security risk, as it can be used for malicious purposes, such as the distribution of malware or the transfer of sensitive data.

To prevent over-the-air direct P2P communication, Cisco Autonomous APs offer a feature called P2P Blocking Action. This feature forces all traffic to hit the first-hop router, where security policy can be enforced. This ensures that all communication is monitored and controlled by the network security policy.

When P2P Blocking Action is enabled on a Cisco Autonomous AP, any attempt at P2P communication between devices is blocked. Instead, all traffic is redirected to the first-hop router, where it is subject to the network security policy. This ensures that all communication is monitored and controlled by the network administrator.

Publicly Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) is another feature offered by Cisco Autonomous APs. PSPF is designed to prevent client-to-client communication within a WLAN. It does this by forwarding only packets that are destined for the default gateway. This ensures that all client-to-client communication is blocked, and only communication with the default gateway is allowed.

Wi-Fi Direct Clients Policy is a feature offered by Cisco WLCs (Wireless LAN Controllers). It is designed to allow or deny Wi-Fi Direct clients on a WLAN. Wi-Fi Direct is a technology that enables two devices to communicate directly with each other over Wi-Fi, without the need for a wireless router or access point.

P2P Secure Packet is not a feature offered by Cisco Autonomous APs.
