AD.

RLDP (Rogue Location Discovery Protocol) is a protocol used in Cisco wireless networks to locate rogue access points (APs) that can cause security threats or performance issues. It works by sending out probe requests and analyzing the responses to identify any rogue APs.

The correct statements regarding RLDP are:

B. RLDP only works if the AP is in Monitor Mode. D. RLDP only works if the Rogue AP is connected to a VLAN that is reachable by the WL.

Explanation:

A. RLDP works only on APs configured in Open Authentication mode. This statement is incorrect. RLDP works on all types of APs, regardless of their authentication mode.

B. RLDP only works if the AP is in Monitor Mode. This statement is true. RLDP requires the AP to be in monitor mode so that it can listen to all wireless traffic in the area and analyze it for rogue APs.

C. RLDP will attempt to identify each Rogue AP only once. This statement is incorrect. RLDP will continuously scan the wireless network and attempt to identify rogue APs as long as it is enabled.

D. RLDP only works if the Rogue AP is connected to a VLAN that is reachable by the WL. This statement is true. RLDP can only locate rogue APs that are connected to a VLAN that is accessible by the wireless LAN controller (WLC).

E. RLDP only works if the AP is in Local Mode. This statement is incorrect. RLDP works with both local and FlexConnect modes.

In conclusion, RLDP is a useful protocol for identifying rogue APs on a wireless network. It requires the AP to be in monitor mode and the rogue AP to be connected to a VLAN that is reachable by the WLC.
