Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSI) — Question 97

In a Cisco WLAN deployment, it is required that all Aps from branch1 remain operational even if the control plane CAPWAP tunnel is down because of a WAN failure to headquarters. Which operational mode must be configured on the APs?

Answer options

• A. disconnected
• B. standalone
• C. lightweight
• D. connected

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, standalone mode, as it allows access points to operate independently without requiring a connection to the controller. Options A and D do not provide the necessary independence during a WAN failure, while C, lightweight mode, relies on a controller for operation, making it unsuitable in this scenario.
