Question

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 client data traffic without sending it to the WLC. Which action must be taken to complete the request?

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.

AEnable local HTTP profiling.

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.

BEnable FlexConnect Local Switching.Correct

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.

CEnable local DHCP Profiling.

Local DHCP Profiling allows the AP to collect DHCP information about clients, but it does not enable local switching of client data traffic.

DEnable Disassociation Imminent.

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.
