Actual exam question for CWNP's CWNA-109 exam
Question #: 21
Topic #: 2
[All CWNA-109 Questions]

You are troubleshooting a controller-based AP that is unable to locate the controller. DHCP is not use and the controller is located at 10.10.10.81/24 while the AP is on the 10.10.16.0/24 network. What should be inspected to verify proper configuration?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

What should be inspected to verify proper configuration isDNS. DNS stands for Domain Name System and is a service that resolves hostnames to IP addresses. In a controller-based AP deployment, DNS can be used to help the AP locate the controller by using a predefined hostname such as CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER or aruba-master. The AP sends a DNS query for this hostname and receives an IP address of the controller as a response. Therefore, if DNS is not configured properly or if there is no DNS entry for the controller hostname, the AP may not be able to locate the controller. NTP, BOOTP, and AP hosts file are not relevant for this scenario.Reference:[CWNP Certified Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide: Exam CWNA-109], page 374; [CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide: Exam CWNA-109], page 364.

Aha! I've got it! The answer's gotta be B) BOOTH. You know, where they serve all the delicious controller-based AP troubleshooting snacks. *chuckles*

I dunno, this question's making my brain hurt. Maybe I should just become a professional cat herder instead. *sighs*

Hmm, this is a classic case of 'check the DHCP, dummy!' Oh, wait, it says DHCP is not in use. *scratches head* Okay, maybe A) NTP is the way to go then.

I believe we should also inspect the DNS settings to ensure proper resolution.

Nah, man, I'm feeling D) AP hosts file. Who needs DNS when you can just hard-code that controller address, am I right? *winks*

Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's see if the controller address is hardcoded in there.

I think we should check the AP hosts file first.

I agree with Hailey, the AP hosts file might have the wrong controller IP.

Woah, this one's a toughie! I'm gonna go with C) DNS - gotta make sure those domain name lookups are on point, am I right?

User 1: I think it might be C) DNS too, we need to check those domain name lookups.
