Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 258

How is 802.11 traffic handled in a fabric-enabled SSID?

Answer options

• A. centrally switched back to WLC where the user traffic is mapped to a VXLAN on the WLC
• B. converted by the AP into 802.3 and encapsulated into VXLAN
• C. centrally switched back to WLC where the user traffic is mapped to a VLAN on the WLC
• D. converted by the AP into 802.3 and encapsulated into a VLAN

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because in a fabric-enabled architecture, the access points convert 802.11 traffic into 802.3 frames and encapsulate them into VXLAN for efficient transport. The other options incorrectly suggest mapping to VLANs or misstate the encapsulation method, which does not align with fabric technology's use of VXLAN.
