CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 954

What differentiates the Cisco OfficeExtend AP mode from the Cisco FlexConnect AP mode?

Answer options

• A. FlexConnect allows a personal SSID to be configured on the AP, and personal SSIDs are not supported with OfficeExtend.
• B. OfficeExtend does not support DTLS tunneling of traffic to the WLC, and FlexConnect tunnels traffic to the WLC with DTLS.
• C. FlexConnect must be deployed behind a router that NATs the client traffic, and OfficeExtend uses public IP sources.
• D. OfficeExtend mode requires indoor APs with internal antennas, and indoor and outdoor APs use FlexConnect mode.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because OfficeExtend mode is specifically designed for indoor access points with internal antennas, while FlexConnect can support both indoor and outdoor APs. The other options misrepresent the functionalities and requirements of the respective AP modes regarding SSIDs, DTLS tunneling, and NAT usage.
