Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 632

What is a characteristic of an AP operating in FlexConnect mode?

Answer options

• A. All traffic traverses the WLC to ensure policy enforcement on client traffic.
• B. Forwarding for locally switched traffic continues when the AP loses connectivity to the WLC.
• C. APs connect in a mesh topology and elect a root AP
• D. FlexConnect enables an AP to connect to multiple WLCs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that in FlexConnect mode, an AP can continue to forward locally switched traffic even if it loses connection to the WLC, ensuring uninterrupted service. Option A is incorrect because in FlexConnect, not all traffic needs to go through the WLC. Option C is also wrong as FlexConnect does not involve a mesh topology. Lastly, option D misstates the functionality, as FlexConnect does not allow an AP to connect to multiple WLCs simultaneously.
