   A university deploys FlexConnect APs in dormitories. Each dormitory has its own VLAN for student devices. The WLC is at the central campus. Which component is responsible for tagging client traffic with the correct dormitory VLAN when the AP is in local switching mode?

   • AThe FlexConnect AP bridges the client traffic onto the local switch port with the appropriate VLAN tag.
   • BThe upstream distribution switch assigns the VLAN based on the AP's IP address.
   • CThe DHCP server assigns the VLAN based on the client's MAC address.
   • DThe WLC applies the VLAN tag to the traffic before sending it back to the AP.

   A FlexConnect AP is configured for local switching on SSID-A and central switching on SSID-B. The CAPWAP tunnel is up. A client on SSID-A sends traffic to a server on the same branch VLAN. How does the traffic flow?

   • AThe AP drops the traffic because local switching is not supported for intra-VLAN traffic.
   • BThe AP bridges the traffic locally to the server.
   • CThe AP encapsulates the traffic and sends it to the WLC, which forwards it back to the branch.
   • DThe AP sends the traffic to the WLC, which then routes it to the server via the WAN.

   A FlexConnect AP is configured with local switching for a data SSID. The branch has a local server on VLAN 10, and clients are on VLAN 20. The CAPWAP tunnel is up. Clients report they cannot access the local server. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe AP is in connected mode, so it tunnels all traffic to the WLC.
   • BThe local server and clients are on different VLANs, and there is no local router to route between them.
   • CThe CAPWAP tunnel is up, so the AP must send all traffic to the WLC for routing.
   • DThe AP's local switching is disabled because the tunnel is up.

   A FlexConnect AP is in standalone mode. The AP has a local switching SSID with WPA2-PSK authentication. A new client associates and is able to pass traffic. However, the client cannot reach the internet. The local LAN works fine. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe local router does not have a route to the internet.
   • BThe AP cannot reach the WLC, so it cannot route internet traffic.
   • CThe client's SSID is configured for central switching, but the tunnel is down.
   • DThe AP's CAPWAP tunnel is down, so it cannot forward traffic to the WLC for internet access.

   A FlexConnect AP is deployed at a remote site. The CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC is up, and the AP is in connected mode. The network administrator needs to push a new SSID configuration to the AP. How does the AP receive the new configuration?

   • AThe administrator must manually configure the AP via the console port.
   • BThe AP receives the configuration via a TFTP server at the remote site.
   • CThe AP uses its locally stored configuration and ignores the WLC until the tunnel drops.
   • DThe AP downloads the configuration from the WLC over the CAPWAP tunnel.
