   A FlexConnect AP is configured with two SSIDs: SSID-A uses central switching, and SSID-B uses local switching. The CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC goes down. What happens to client traffic on each SSID?

   • ASSID-A traffic stops, and SSID-B traffic continues locally.
   • BBoth SSIDs continue to operate normally.
   • CBoth SSIDs stop operating until the tunnel is restored.
   • DSSID-A traffic continues locally, and SSID-B traffic stops.

   A FlexConnect AP is deployed in a remote office. The AP is configured for standalone mode. The WAN link to the WLC is down. A user tries to authenticate to a WLAN that is configured for 802.1X with a central RADIUS server. What happens?

   • AAuthentication succeeds because the AP uses local authentication as a fallback.
   • BAuthentication succeeds because the AP caches the RADIUS credentials locally.
   • CAuthentication succeeds because the AP forwards the authentication request to a backup RADIUS server.
   • DAuthentication fails because the AP cannot reach the RADIUS server through the WLC.

   A FlexConnect AP is deployed in a branch office. The WLAN is configured for central switching. The CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC goes down. What happens to existing client sessions?

   • AExisting client sessions are dropped because all data traffic is tunneled to the WLC.
   • BExisting client sessions continue to work because the AP caches the WLC's forwarding decisions.
   • CExisting client sessions continue to work but new clients cannot associate.
   • DExisting client sessions continue to work because the AP can locally switch traffic as a fallback.

   A FlexConnect AP is in standalone mode because the CAPWAP tunnel is down. The AP has a locally configured SSID with local switching. A new wireless client attempts to associate. What happens?

   • AThe client associates but cannot pass any traffic until the tunnel is restored.
   • BThe client associates and can access the local LAN because the AP bridges traffic locally.
   • CThe client is associated but only gets an IP address from the WLC's DHCP pool.
   • DThe client is denied association because the AP cannot reach the WLC.
