Cisco Hyperlocation is a feature of Cisco's location services that uses a combination of technologies to provide high-accuracy location information for Wi-Fi devices. The feature is enabled through the Cisco Connected Mobile Experience (CMX) and the wireless LAN controller (WLC). Here are the correct answers to the question:

C. The Cisco Hyperlocation feature must be enabled on the wireless LAN controller and Cisco CMX. This statement is true. To enable the Cisco Hyperlocation feature, it must be enabled on both the wireless LAN controller and the Cisco CMX server. The wireless LAN controller manages the access points (APs) and provides the location data to the CMX server. The CMX server then processes the data and provides location information to applications that request it. Enabling the feature on both devices allows for accurate location data to be gathered and processed.

E. If the Cisco CMX server is a VM, a high-end VM is needed for Cisco Hyperlocation deployments. This statement is also true. Cisco Hyperlocation requires a significant amount of processing power to accurately locate Wi-Fi devices. If the CMX server is deployed as a virtual machine (VM), it is important to ensure that the VM has sufficient resources to handle the workload. This includes CPU, memory, and storage. Cisco recommends using a high-end VM for Hyperlocation deployments to ensure accurate and reliable location data.

A. After enabling Cisco Hyperlocation on Cisco CMX, the APs and the wireless LAN controller must be restarted. This statement is false. Enabling Cisco Hyperlocation on the CMX server does not require a restart of the APs or the wireless LAN controller. However, it is recommended to restart the APs and the WLC after making any significant configuration changes to ensure that the changes take effect.

B. NTP can be configured, but that is not recommended. This statement is false. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a critical component of a Cisco Hyperlocation deployment. NTP ensures that the clocks on all devices in the network are synchronized, which is important for accurate location data. It is recommended to configure NTP on all devices in the network, including the wireless LAN controller and the CMX server.

D. The Cisco Hyperlocation feature must be enabled only on the wireless LAN controller. This statement is false. As mentioned above, the Cisco Hyperlocation feature must be enabled on both the wireless LAN controller and the CMX server to provide accurate location data.
