CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 16

Which unified access point mode continues to serve wireless clients after losing connectivity to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller?

Answer options

• A. local
• B. mesh
• C. flexconnect
• D. sniffer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, flexconnect, as it enables access points to continue serving clients locally when the connection to the controller is disrupted. Option A, local mode, requires a stable connection to the controller to function properly, while option B, mesh, is primarily for extending coverage rather than maintaining client connections during controller outages. Option D, sniffer mode, is used for monitoring and does not provide client connectivity.
