300-430 Cisco Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (300-430 ENWLSI) Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

An ACL configured for BYOD clients to redirect to a guest portal must allow access to the RADIUS server and Cisco ISE. The RADIUS server is crucial for authentication services, a core component of network access control for BYOD. Cisco ISE integrates with the network infrastructure to provide comprehensive security, including guest access management, thus its accessibility is essential for the redirection process to function correctly. References := ( CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide )

 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is renowned for its ability to provide precise location services, especially in the context of indoor positioning systems. BLE beacons can be strategically placed throughout a facility, and when used in conjunction with a mobile application, they can deliver the high level of location accuracy required for various use cases, including navigation, asset tracking, and contextual marketing.

 To ensure that the guest network uses only lower rates instead of 802.11n data rates, the WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) policy of the WLAN should be set to disabled ©. This will prevent the use of 802.11n data rates, which require WMM to be enabled. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide

To ensure that only admins have access to network device management while allowing guest users to reach the web portal, access to Cisco ISE must be permitted on the pre-authentication ACL. This configuration allows guests to interact with the portal without granting them broader network access.

For location analytics in a shopping center using AireOS controllers with Cisco Wave 2 APs, the CMX server settings must exclude probing clients to track only associated clients. This setting ensures that the location analytics data reflects the movements of clients that are actively connected to the WLAN, providing accurate insights into popular areas within the shopping center. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide

In a Cisco wireless LAN controller, setting a specific data rate to ‘Mandatory’ means that all wireless clients must be able to communicate at this rate. To ensure that multicast uses the 54Mbps rates, one must set the 54Mbps data rate to ‘Mandatory’. This configuration will make it so that all multicast traffic is transmitted at this minimum set data rate, thus meeting the requirement specified by the engineer.

 In a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) deployment strategy that prefers a single SSID model, an Identity Services Engine (ISE) is required. Cisco’s ISE is a security policy management platform that automates and enforces context-aware security access to network resources. It allows for the creation of policies that control access to the network based on user identity, device type, device health, and posture compliance, which is essential for a BYOD environment. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide

In a FlexConnect deployment, enabling FlexConnect Local Switching allows branch office APs to map client traffic directly onto the local LAN, bypassing the need to tunnel all traffic back to the WLC at the main campus. This is essential for corporate devices at branch offices to access local resources efficiently and to be mapped to the correct VLANs according to their VLAN tag ID and WLAN. This setting is not relevant for APs in Local mode at the main campus, as they already switch traffic locally by default.

To segregate all iPads on the guest WLAN to a separate VLAN without using Cisco ISE, the engineer can create a local policy on the WLC (option A). This local policy can be configured to identify iPad devices and assign them to a specific VLAN based on their device profile or other identifying characteristics. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide, especially the sections that cover local policies and device profiling on the WLC.

 When configuring an autonomous Access Point (AP) for 802.1x authentication using an external authentication server like RADIUS, it’s essential that AP knows where to send authentication requests and has a secure method of communicating with it. The RADIUS server’s IP address must be configured on AP so it knows where to forward user credentials for verification. Additionally, a shared secret must be set up between AP and RADIUS server as part of their secure communication protocol; without this shared secret, they cannot trust each other’s communications. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide

The primary change to the network when adding APs for location-based services, such as VolMLAN, would be the AP footprint. This refers to the physical coverage area of the access points. Increasing the AP footprint enhances the ability to perform location-based services by improving the accuracy of triangulation and location tracking of devices. This is because a denser AP footprint allows for more precise determination of a device’s location within the network. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide, specifically the sections discussing location-based services and AP deployment strategies for optimal coverage and location tracking.

FastLocate technology enhances location updates’ frequency by utilizing probe requests from clients for real-time location tracking. This method increases the refresh rate of client locations significantly compared to other methods that rely on data packets or RSSI measurements of associated clients only. By implementing a probe-based technique, an engineer can achieve higher location refresh rates as required for location services in an office environment. References := ( CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide )

To create an account for CLI access to an access point for troubleshooting, the WLC must be configured to allow user access with the capability to make changes. The ReadWrite User Access Mode enables an engineer to have full read and write access to the AP’s configuration via the CLI, which is necessary for performing troubleshooting tasks. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide.

The feature required on the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller to support dynamic VLAN mapping is AAA override. This feature allows for the assignment of VLANs on a per-user basis as determined by the authentication, authorization, and accounting server. When AAA override is enabled, attributes such as VLAN ID can be dynamically applied to a user’s session after successful authentication and authorization. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide

To separate different types of client authentication on a Cisco ISE deployment, policy sets and policy groups can be used. Policy sets allow the creation of policies based on conditions such as device type, while policy groups categorize clients for the application of specific policies. References: Cisco ISE documentation on policy sets and policy groups will have detailed information.

 In Cisco CMX, to view active RFID tags, the engineer needs to enable the tracking of these tags within the system settings. This is typically done by selecting an option that allows for RFID tag tracking, which makes them visible on location-based services like the Detect and Locate window of Cisco CMX. By enabling this feature, the system starts to interpret signals from RFID tags and displays their location accordingly. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide

The ‘aaa session-id common’ command is essential when implementing Cisco Identity Based Networking Services (IBNS) with downloadable ACLs on a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switch. This command configures the switch to use a common session identifier for all AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) transactions. This is important for downloadable ACLs because it ensures that the correct policies are applied consistently across different sessions and services.

AutoQoS simplifies the deployment of QoS by automating the process. On the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, AutoQoS takes into account the characteristics of wireless traffic and helps in implementing a consistent QoS policy across both wired and wireless parts of the network. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide.

To ensure that all Android devices are placed into a separate VLAN on their wireless network without deploying ISE, the feature that must be implemented on the Cisco WLC is “WLAN local policy”. This feature allows the network administrator to create policies that can classify and segregate devices based on their operating system, in this case, Android devices, into a designated VLAN. References := (CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide)
