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 inte
The correct answer is B. FlexConnect local switching. 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.

Why each option
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.
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.
FlexConnect local switching allows access points (APs) in remote offices to locally switch client data traffic directly onto the local VLAN at the branch. This eliminates the need for a local controller and enables local internet breakout, meaning traffic does not need to tunnel back to the central controller for processing, satisfying both requirements.
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.
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.
