A bank has a branch office with a single AP. The branch has a local printer that clients must access. The WAN link to the head office is reliable but has high latency. The bank's security policy requires that all client traffic be inspected by a firewall at the head office. However, the branch manager complains that printing is slow because print jobs are being sent over the WAN. The network team wants to improve print performance while still meeting the security policy. Which approach should they take?

Configure FlexConnect with all traffic locally switched

Configure FlexConnect with local switching and ACLs to allow only printer traffic to bypass the tunnel

Move the printer to the head office

Keep local mode and rely on the WLC to forward print jobs

A hospital has a mix of APs. Some are in local mode serving clients, and a few are in monitor mode for security. The security team wants to detect rogue APs that are connected to the wired network but are not transmitting wirelessly. They also want to maintain continuous over-the-air monitoring. Which combination of modes should be used?

Use sniffer mode on the monitor APs

Convert all monitor mode APs to rogue detector mode

Keep monitor mode APs and add rogue detector mode APs on the wired network

Use local mode on all APs and rely on off-channel scanning

What is the primary function of an AP in monitor mode?

To locally switch client traffic

To capture and forward traffic to a protocol analyzer

To act as a dedicated sensor for wireless monitoring and security

A company has a centralized WLC and uses local mode APs. They are planning to open a small remote office with a single AP. The remote office has a local printer and a file server. The WAN link is reliable but has limited bandwidth. The company wants to minimize WAN traffic while keeping centralized management. Which configuration should be used?

Use monitor mode for the remote AP

Use FlexConnect mode with local switching for the remote office

Use autonomous mode for the remote AP

Use local mode and rely on the WLC to forward traffic
