A. B. C. D. E.AE.
In order to determine the location of a stolen laptop based on its MAC address, two settings that need to be configured on the wireless infrastructure are Client location tracking and Location History for Rogue APs & Rogue Clients.
Client location tracking is a feature that allows the wireless infrastructure to track the location of wireless clients (such as laptops and mobile devices) based on their MAC addresses. This feature must be enabled on the Mobility Services Engine (MS) in order to track the stolen laptop.
Location History for Rogue APs & Rogue Clients is a feature that allows the wireless infrastructure to keep track of any rogue access points or clients that are detected on the network. This feature must also be enabled on the MS to help determine the location of the stolen laptop. By tracking the location of rogue access points or clients, the wireless infrastructure can identify any unauthorized devices on the network, which could potentially lead to the stolen laptop.
Therefore, the correct answers to the question are B. Client location tracking must be enabled on the MS and D. Location History for Rogue APs & Rogue Clients must be enabled on the MS.
Option A (Location History for Clients) is not directly related to the tracking of a stolen laptop based on its MAC address. This feature is more commonly used for tracking the location history of wireless clients over time.
Option C (Location History for Visitors) is also not directly related to the tracking of a stolen laptop. This feature is typically used in environments where guest access is provided on the wireless network.
Option E (Tracking optimization) is not a relevant setting for determining the location of a stolen laptop based on its MAC address. This feature is more related to optimizing the performance of the wireless network.
