CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 887
A Cisco engineer at a new branch office is configuring a wireless network with access points that connect to a controller that is based at corporate headquarters. Wireless client traffic must terminate at the branch office and access-point survivability is required in the event of a WAN outage. Which access point mode must be selected?
Answer options
- A. Lightweight with local switching disabled
- B. FlexConnect with local switching enabled
- C. OfficeExtend with high availability disabled
- D. Local with AP fallback enabled
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer, FlexConnect with local switching enabled, allows client traffic to be processed locally at the branch office while maintaining access-point functionality during WAN outages. The other options either do not support local switching or do not ensure survivability in the event of a WAN failure.
