350-401 Question #1134: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A client requests a wireless solution for remote branch offices to eliminate the need for a local controller at each branch. The branch users require local termination in a specifc VLAN for local internet breakout. Which solution must be deployed?

Options

• Acentral switched
• BFlexConnect local switching
• Cauto-anchor mobility
• Dasymmetric tunneling

Explanation

FlexConnect with local switching is the ideal solution for remote branch offices requiring no local controller, as it allows APs to locally switch client data traffic for local internet breakout while centrally managing the control plane.

Common mistakes.

• A. Central switched (or central mode) means all client data traffic is tunneled back to the central wireless controller, which prevents local internet breakout at the branch.
• C. Auto-anchor mobility (or guest anchor) is a feature used for guest WLANs to anchor client traffic to a specific controller in a DMZ, not for achieving local switching for branch users.
• D. Asymmetric tunneling is a mobility feature related to inter-controller roaming and anchoring, but it does not directly enable local switching at a branch office for internet breakout in the way FlexConnect does.

Concept tested. FlexConnect local switching for branch offices
