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?
To register access points to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) and centrally switch the traffic within a Cisco SD-Access Fabric, the appropriate AP mode is 'fabric'. In fabric mode, access points connect to the fabric and the traffic is centrally managed and switched within the fabric architecture, aligning with the goal of integrating with the SD-Access Fabric wired network.

Scenario 2. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/cloud-systems-management/network-automation-and-management/dna-center/tech_notes/b_ap_migration_from_traditional_wireless_to_sda_fabric.html
OOT- Wireless is Not part of Fabiric and runs overlay. Flexconnect - Local swithcing (Question focous on central switching) So only A is left
Why A? Centrally means Flexconnect, not local right?
local is the default, FlexConnect is option to locally switch on the AP itself, notably used at branch locations where there still should be a connection to WLC at data center/core
A is correct
...........................
A is correct
Let's first figure out what's local and FlexConnect mean. Local switching means traffic flows from wireless client to network through APs bypassing WLCs, when centrally switching means traffic flows to network trough WLCs. But both of them FlexConnect architecture. Looks like the question not relevant.
the access point will be registered as local AP
