Explanation

FlexConnect is a Cisco wireless access point (AP) mode that allows an AP to switch client traffic locally between a VLAN and SSID instead of tunneling it back to the controller. This is useful in branch or remote office deployments where connectivity to the central controller is limited or intermittent. When in connected mode, the AP can still communicate with the controller, but in standalone mode, it can continue to function with local switching.
