Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 538

A company hires a network architect to design a new OTT wireless solution within a Cisco SD-Access Fabric wired network. The architect wants to register access points to the WLC to centrally switch the traffic. Which AP mode must the design include?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'local' because this mode allows access points to connect directly to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for centralized management and traffic switching. The 'bridge' mode is not suitable for centralized traffic handling, while 'FlexConnect' is designed for scenarios where access points need to operate in remote locations with local switching capabilities. 'Fabric' mode is not applicable in this context as it pertains to SD-Access architecture rather than direct traffic management.
