A network engineer observes a spike in controller CPU overhead and overall network utilization after multicast is enabled on a controller with 500 APs. Which feature corrects the issue?
Show answer
Answer: B
Explanation
With multicast -unicast, the wlc would have to make a copy for every packet before sending it to an AP. WIth lots of AP, that would give a nice spike in cpu. By enabling multicast-multcast, now the wlc sends only 1 copy to a unique choosen multicast address and all APs joining that multicast address receive the packet.
