Exam 300-430 topic 1 question 188 discussion

Cisco Prime Infrastructure: This is the central management platform for wireless networks. It can be configured to automatically push the latest wIPS/wIDS detection definitions to the access points (APs). This ensures that the APs are always updated with the latest threat detection capabilities. Why not the other options? A. Update the Cisco MSE software: While the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) is used for location and context-aware services, it is not directly responsible for pushing wIPS/wIDS definitions to APs. C. Update the Cisco WLC software: Updating the WLC software ensures the controller has the latest features and bug fixes but does not directly update wIPS/wIDS definitions on the APs. D. Configure the Cisco WLC to repoll the Cisco MSE for update definitions: This is not the correct approach, as the MSE does not handle wIPS/wIDS definition updates for APs. Thus, the correct action is to configure Cisco Prime Infrastructure to push new definitions to the APs.

A is correct

A: The actual profiles are stored within the wIPS service running on the MSE. From the wIPS Service on the MSE, profiles are propagated to specific controllers, which in turn communicate this profile transparently to wIPS Mode Access Points associated to that perspective controller.

The Wireless LAN Controller receives the updated wIPS profile, stores it into NVRAM (replacing any previous revision of the profile) and propagates the updated profile to its associated wIPS Access Points via CAPWAP control messages. 5. A wIPS Mode Access Point receives the updated profile from the controller and applies the modifications to its wIPS software engine.

I think A is correct, but B also looks right https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/wips/deployment/guide/WiPS_deployment_guide.html#pgfId-43514

The most advanced WIPS with 200 + signature's is via MSE/CMX so A
