Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 535

Which statement describes the Cisco SD-Access plane functionality for fabric-enabled wireless?

Answer options

• A. The control plane traffic is sent to the WLC through VXLAN, and the data plane traffic is sent to the WLC through CAPWAP tunnels.
• B. Control plane traffic and data plane traffic are sent to the WLC through CAPWAP tunnels.
• C. The control plane traffic is sent to the WLC through CAPWAP tunnels, and the data plane traffic is sent from the AP to the fabric edge switch through VXLAN.
• D. Control plane traffic and data plane traffic are sent to the WLC through VXLAN.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it accurately describes that the control plane traffic uses CAPWAP tunnels to reach the WLC, while data plane traffic travels from the access point to the fabric edge switch through VXLAN. Option A is incorrect as it suggests data plane traffic goes to the WLC via CAPWAP, which is not the case. Option B is wrong because it states both types of traffic use CAPWAP, and option D incorrectly indicates that both traffic types are sent through VXLAN.
