Which statement is correct about Flex Connect mode versus Local mode?
Answer Options
Flex Connect mode creates a CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC to transport data.
Local mode creates a CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC to transport data.
Local mode allows for switching of VLANs at the WAP.
Flex Connect mode allows for switching of VLANs at the WLC.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Local mode creates a Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) tunnel to the wireless LAN controller to allow switching of VLANs local to the WLC. All traffic in Local mode must traverse back to the WLC to get switched into the respective VLANs. Flex Connect mode does not create a CAPWAP tunnel to mode data, only control information. Local mode allows for the switching of VLANs at the WLC only. Flex Connect mode is the opposite, where VLANs can be switched at the WAP.
