Exam 300-430 topic 1 question 240 discussion

C. Override the credentials. To allow the engineer to log in to the AP without changing the global login policy, the override the credentials option must be configured. This allows the engineer to use specific credentials to log in to the AP, bypassing the global login policy temporarily. Explanation of the options: A. Change the WLC password: Changing the WLC password does not affect the ability to log in to the AP. The AP login credentials are separate from the WLC login credentials. B. Set up AAA override: AAA override is used to apply RADIUS server attributes (e.g., VLANs, ACLs) to clients, not for logging in to APs. C. Override the credentials: This is correct. Overriding the credentials allows the engineer to log in to the AP using specific credentials without changing the global login policy. D. Reload the WLC: Reloading the WLC will restart the controller but will not resolve the issue of logging in to the AP.

B. Set up AAA override. Explanation: AAA Override: This feature allows you to configure specific login credentials for individual APs, overriding the global login policy. This enables the engineer to log in to the AP using the override credentials without affecting the global configuration. Why not the other options? A. Change the WLC password: This would affect the global login policy and is not specific to the AP. C. Override the credentials: This is not a valid configuration option for logging in to the AP. D. Reload the WLC: This would restart the WLC but would not resolve the login issue for the AP.

C is correct answer. AAA override is WLAN specific and not related to the AP

AAA override (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) allows the WLC to override the global login policy for specific devices, such as Access Points. By setting up AAA override, the engineer can use their login credentials to access the AP directly, even if the global login policy might not permit direct access to the AP. This configuration change ensures that the engineer can log in to the AP without impacting the global login policy settings, maintaining security and access control across the network.
