Question 1 · 294 in bank
On a branch office deployment, it has been noted that if the FlexConnect AP is in standalone mode and loses connection to the WLC, all clients are disconnected, and the SSID is no longer advertised. Considering that FlexConnect local switching is enabled, which setting is causing this behavior?
Show answer
Answer: A
Explanation
As per cisco documentation All 802.11 authentication and association processing occurs regardless of which operational mode the AP is in. When in connected mode, the FlexConnect AP forwards all association/authentication information to the WLC. When in standalone mode, the AP cannot notify the WLC of such events, which is why WLANs that make use of central authentication/switching methods are unavailable.
