What is a difference between local AP mode and FlexConnect AP mode?
What is a difference between local AP mode and FlexConnect AP mode?
Local AP mode creates two CAPWAP tunnels per AP to the WLC. One tunnel is for management, and the other is for data traffic. This setup enables central switching of data traffic through the controller. This is a significant distinction from FlexConnect AP mode, where traffic can be switched locally at the AP even if it loses connectivity with the WLC. Therefore, Local AP mode's creation of two CAPWAP tunnels per AP to the WLC is the correct difference as described.
This link supports "A" as the answer: "In local mode, an AP creates two CAPWAP tunnels to the WLC. One is for management, the other is data traffic. This behavior is known as "centrally switched" because the data traffic is switched(bridged) from the ap to the controller where it is then routed by some routing device." https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-and-mobility/what-s-the-difference-between-local-mode-and-flex-connect-mode/td-p/2532657
Good link Dave. A is the best answer. A is an accurate statement as data traffic is tunneled back to the controller for an SSID with Local AP Mode B should have referenced FlexConnect AP [Standalone Mode], not local ap mode [Central Switching or Connected Mode] C is wrong as the purpose of FlexConnect is to provide local connectivity when the connection to controller is lost D is wrong because "local" switching is referenced and it should be "central" switching https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/latam/docs/2016/pdf/BRKEWN-2016.pdf https://www.kareemccie.com/2017/08/what-is-flexconnect.html
Actually, the right answer is A. The FlexConnect AP can locally switch traffic between a VLAN and SSID when the CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC is down. If option D had said, "when it is down," it would have been the right answer. But here, they said, "configured."
save my day dude
The question is asking for "the difference" between the two but I believe an access point creates two capwap tunnels when in flex connect mode as well. The only hard difference i see between the two is option "D"
A is correct!
The answer is A for sure, found in a recent Exam, 100% on Topic 2 (including wireless networks).
please share the link on which you found the exam
A is right because AP creates CAPWAP tunnels to find the WLC
A es la respuesta correcta
Should be A. FlexConnect is only for when CAPWAP tunnel fails.
A is the right answer.
D is correct
A is correct
A is the right answer
D is wrong A correct https://www.thenetworkdna.com/2020/10/wireless-infrastructure-analysis-local.html
A is the correct answer
Definitely A! FlexConnect = Switched Locally Local Mode = Centally Switched
I would say A
Answer is A. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/7-2/configuration/guide/cg/cg_flexconnect.html
