An engineer is installing a new wireless printer with a static IP address on the Wi-Fi network. Which feature must be enabled and configured to prevent connection issues with the printer?
passive client. Wireless clients with static IP addresses can be affected by controller behavior that expects DHCP learning for client state. On Cisco WLCs, the passive client feature is used for devices such as wireless printers that do not behave like typical DHCP clients or that use static addressing. DHCP address assignment is not the right answer because the prompt explicitly says the printer uses a static IP address. Client exclusion blocks or delays client access after failures; it does not solve static-client reachability. Static IP tunneling is not the standard WLC feature required here. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 Network Access expects candidates to recognize this common wireless operations issue. The corrected answer is passive client. Enabling that feature helps the WLC support static-IP wireless devices without unnecessary connectivity problems.
