200-301 · Question #1092
Refer to the exhibit. An architect is managing a wireless network with APs from several branch offices connecting to the WLC in the data center. There is a new requirement for a single WLAN to process
The correct answer is B. Enable FlexConnect Local Switching.. To allow APs in a distributed network to process client data traffic locally without sending it back to the central WLC, enabling FlexConnect Local Switching is required.

Why each option
To allow APs in a distributed network to process client data traffic locally without sending it back to the central WLC, enabling FlexConnect Local Switching is required.
Local HTTP profiling is a client feature that allows the AP to gather HTTP-based information about clients for policy enforcement, but it doesn't control the data path for client traffic.
FlexConnect Local Switching allows a Cisco AP, when connected to a WLC, to locally switch client data traffic directly onto the wired network at the branch office, without tunneling it back to the WLC. This is specifically designed to meet the requirement of processing client data traffic locally without sending it to the WLC.
Local DHCP Profiling allows the AP to collect DHCP information about clients, but it does not enable local switching of client data traffic.
Disassociation Imminent is a mechanism related to client roaming (802.11v) that signals to clients that they should soon disassociate, which is unrelated to local data traffic processing.
