300-365 · Question #169
An engineer implements all remote sites using WLAN in FlexConnect with local authentication and the site experiences delays greater than 300 ms RTT. Which feature is disabled on the infrastructure?
The correct answer is A. AAA override. In FlexConnect mode with local authentication, AAA override is automatically disabled when the WAN round-trip time exceeds 300 ms, as the feature requires reliable communication with a central AAA server.

Why each option
In FlexConnect mode with local authentication, AAA override is automatically disabled when the WAN round-trip time exceeds 300 ms, as the feature requires reliable communication with a central AAA server.
AAA override allows the WLC or AAA server to dynamically override VLAN and QoS policy assignments per client. In FlexConnect with local authentication, Cisco disables AAA override when WAN latency exceeds 300 ms RTT because the high latency makes centralized AAA policy enforcement unreliable, and the feature cannot function correctly without timely server responses.
MFP (Management Frame Protection) is a security mechanism for protecting 802.11 management frames and is not tied to a 300 ms RTT threshold.
aWIPS (adaptive Wireless Intrusion Prevention System) detects and mitigates wireless threats and does not have a latency-based disable condition at 300 ms RTT.
Local Auth is the authentication method intentionally configured for this scenario - it remains active and is not the feature that gets disabled by high latency.
