An engineer is implementing a FlexConnect group for access points at a remote location using local switching but central DHCP. Which client feature becomes available only if this configuration is changed?
An engineer is implementing a FlexConnect group for access points at a remote location using local switching but central DHCP. Which client feature becomes available only if this configuration is changed?
The correct answer is mDNS. When using FlexConnect with local switching, mDNS (Multicast DNS) is not supported. For mDNS to be available, the configuration needs to be changed to central switching. Local switching limits the capabilities of mDNS snooping, which is necessary for the feature to function correctly.
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-7/configguide/b_cg87/flexconnect.html Provided answer is correct. After 3 failed attempts the static Ip is given.
This would be the better explanation: "For WLANs with local switching and central DHCP feature enabled, clients with static IP addresses are not allowed. Enabling central DHCP will internally enable DHCP required option." Provided answer is correct.
Agree with kthekillerc
Answer is B
There must be a config exhibit or something missing, as the options or the "right answer" make no sense or am I just reading it right..?
Actually, after reviewing this, there is nothing missing. This is apparently just about local switching limitations. mDNS snooping is not available in local switching. Static IP might be indeed correct, if we also assume that central authentication is implemented, as in that case the "Learn Client IP Address" default should be disabled...
DHCP is required when central DHCP is enabled. A client device is therefore not allowed to have a static non dhcp assigned IP. So B. Static IP feature becomes available if you disable central DHCP.
D is the right answer: mDNS is not supported over local switching, you have to change the config to Central switching. Answer B cannot be true, because it's not related to clients.
