A company with multiple small retail locations wants to manage all its Cisco APs from a single web-based dashboard hosted by Cisco, without deploying any on-premises controller hardware. Each location has a few APs, and client traffic can be switched locally. Which architecture should be selected?

Local mode with a WLC at headquarters

Centralized split-MAC architecture

A hospital's security team wants to detect rogue access points on both the wireless and wired networks. They have a limited number of Cisco APs and cannot dedicate any AP exclusively to monitoring. They also want to avoid disrupting patient Wi-Fi service. Which approach should they use?

Use sniffer mode on a few APs to capture all traffic and manually identify rogues

Use rogue detector mode on all APs, which allows them to continue serving clients while listening on the wired interface for rogues

Use a mix of monitor mode APs for RF scanning and rogue detector mode APs for wired detection, accepting that some APs will not serve clients

Use local mode APs with rogue detection enabled, and rely on the WLC to correlate rogue reports

In sniffer mode, where does the captured traffic get sent?

To a device running protocol analysis software

To the wireless LAN controller for processing

To the local wired network without any analysis
