What is a difference between local AP mode and FlexConnect AP mode?

1. Local AP mode creates two CAPWAP tunnels per AP to the WLC.
2. FlexConnect AP mode fails to function if the AP loses connectivity with the WLC.
3. FlexConnect AP mode bridges the traffic from the AP to the WLC when local switching is configured.
4. Local AP mode causes the AP to behave as if it were an autonomous AP.

Answer :

Final answer

Local AP mode creates two CAPWAP tunnels per AP to the WLC. FlexConnect AP mode bridges the traffic from the AP to the WLC when local switching is configured. Option 1 and 3 are correct.

Explanation

Local Access Point (AP) mode is a traditional way of operation where the APs create two Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) tunnels for each connected AP to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). This is done for each of the client and management traffic. The idea is to centralize all traffic and have it pass through the WLC for necessary operations, like firewall filtering, quality of service, and other services.

On the other hand, FlexConnect AP mode, previously known as Hybrid Remote Edge Access Point (H-REAP), is designed for branches and remote offices. In this mode, when local switching is configured, the traffic is bridged directly from the AP, not tunnelled to the WLC. This allows for reduced latency and efficient use of WAN bandwidth, as only control traffic goes to the WLC. In scenarios where the AP loses connectivity with the WLC, FlexConnect APs can still function, ensuring service continuity for connected clients.

Thus correct options are 1 and 3.
