An organization needs to deploy Cisco wireless access points in a remote branch office that has limited WAN bandwidth and unreliable connectivity to the central site controller. The access points must continue to provide client connectivity even when the connection to the controller is lost. Which AP mode should the administrator configure on the access points?
FlexConnect Mode allows Cisco access points to locally switch client data traffic and perform client authentication even when the connection to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is lost. This makes it suitable for remote sites with limited WAN bandwidth and intermittent connectivity. Local Mode requires the access point to maintain constant connectivity with the WLC, so it is not suitable in this scenario. Monitor Mode is used for spectrum analysis and does not provide client connectivity. Sniffer Mode captures wireless traffic for analysis and also does not support client connections.
