In Cisco wireless networks, which Access Point mode allows an AP to maintain client connectivity and handle traffic autonomously during a loss of connectivity to the Wireless LAN Controller, while still supporting centralized management when the controller is reachable?
FlexConnect mode enables a Cisco access point to continue serving clients and handle traffic autonomously when the connection to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is lost. This mode is beneficial for maintaining network services in remote or branch offices where connectivity to the WLC might be intermittent. When the connection to the WLC is restored, the AP regains centralized management capabilities. Other modes like Local mode require a constant connection to the WLC for both management and data forwarding, and would not maintain client connectivity during a disconnection.
