Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 710

When a branch location loses connectivity, which Cisco FlexConnect state rejects new users but allows existing users to function normally?

Answer options

• A. Authentication-Down/Switch-Local
• B. Authentication-Down/Switching-Down
• C. Authentication-Central/Switch-Local
• D. Authentication-Local/Switch-Local

Correct answer: A
