An engineer must configure client profiling on a Cisco WLC v8.2 and a Cisco ISE. The customer has a complex wireless network with different AP modes, depending on locations and functionalities…

Local mode APs tunnel all client traffic to the WLC, allowing the controller to inspect DHCP and HTTP traffic for profiling and forward attributes to ISE for policy enforcement.

Workgroup Bridge mode is used to connect wired devices through a wireless uplink and does not support the client profiling feature.

Standalone mode is a fallback state when the AP loses connectivity to the WLC and does not support centralized profiling functions.

Local authentication is not a recognized AP operating mode in Cisco WLC and is therefore not a valid selection for client profiling configuration.

FlexConnect mode supports client profiling by locally switching or tunneling traffic while still reporting DHCP and HTTP profiling data, enabling ISE integration in distributed deployments.
