Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSI) — Question 281

A corporation is spread across different countries and uses MPLS to connect the offices. The senior management wants to utilize the wireless network for all the employees. To ensure strong connectivity and minimize delays, an engineer needs to control the amount of traffic that is traversing between the APs and the central WLC. Which configuration should be used to accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. FlexConnect mode with central switching enabled
• B. FlexConnect mode with central authentication
• C. FlexConnect mode with OfficeExtend enabled
• D. FlexConnect mode with local authentication

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because local authentication allows the access points to handle user authentication directly, reducing the traffic sent to the central WLC and minimizing delays. Options A and B involve central management, which can increase traffic load between the APs and WLC, while option C is specifically for extending services to remote locations, which does not address the traffic control needed in this scenario.
