Selected Answer: C

The issue described is that the client detail information in Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) is not current and is delayed by up to 5 minutes. This delay is often caused by the lack of real-time updates from the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to Cisco PI. Enabling client Assoc/Disassoc and Auth/Deauth SNMP traps on the WLC ensures that Cisco PI receives immediate notifications about client connection and disconnection events, providing up-to-date client information.

Explanation of the options: A. Change the data retention settings to 5 seconds: Data retention settings in Cisco PI control how long data is stored, not how frequently it is updated. This will not resolve the issue of delayed client information. B. Use a different browser to access the web interface: The issue is not related to the browser or the GUI performance. The problem lies in the lack of real-time updates from the WLC to Cisco PI. C. Enable client Assoc/Disassoc and Auth/Deauth SNMP traps on the controller: This is correct. Enabling these SNMP traps ensures that the WLC sends real-time notifications to Cisco PI about client association, disassociation, authentication, and deauthentication events. This allows Cisco PI to display current client information. D. Optimize the Cisco Prime Infrastructure database: While database optimization can improve overall performance, it will not address the specific issue of delayed client information updates.

D is correct, follow this link and search for "compact the Prime Infrastructure Database", under How to improve the performance of Prime Infrastructure. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/3-4/admin/guide/bk_CiscoPrimeInfastructure_3_4_AdminGuide/bk_CiscoPrimeInfastructure_3_4_AdminGuide_chapter_0100.html

Selected Answer: C

The issue described suggests that the client detail information displayed in Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) is not current and is up to 5 minutes old. To resolve this issue, one needs to ensure that Cisco Prime Infrastructure is receiving real-time updates regarding client states and connected access points. The correct action to resolve this issue is: C. Enable client Assoc/Disassoc and Auth/Deauth SNMP traps on the controller. Enabling client Assoc/Disassoc and Auth/Deauth SNMP traps on the controller allows the controller to send real-time notifications to Cisco Prime Infrastructure whenever clients associate, disassociate, authenticate, or deauthenticate from the wireless network. This ensures that Cisco Prime Infrastructure has up-to-date information about client connectivity status and the access points they are associated with. Therefore, option C is the appropriate action to resolve the issue of outdated client detail information in Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
