Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 563

A customer requires their wireless network to be fully functional, even if the wireless controller fails. Which wireless design supports these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

FlexConnect allows access points to operate independently of the wireless controller, ensuring continuous network functionality even during controller failures. In contrast, centralized designs rely on the controller for network operations, making them vulnerable to outages. Mesh networks, while resilient, do not provide the same level of independence from a controller, and embedded designs are typically limited to specific hardware configurations.
