Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The NAD must have the 'ip http server' enabled.
LWA requires the NAD to act as the web server for the captive portal, meaning the switch handles the HTTP request interception directly, unlike CWA where the endpoint is redirected to ISE.
