Why each option
A fabric AP in a Cisco SD-Access deployment primarily serves to connect wireless clients to the fabric, integrating them into the network overlay.
Location services are typically handled by other components like Cisco DNA Center or location appliances, not directly by the fabric AP.
In Cisco SD-Access, a fabric AP functions as the edge device for wireless clients, physically connecting them to the SD-Access fabric overlay network. It encapsulates client traffic and forwards it to the fabric edge node, effectively integrating the wireless client into the wired fabric.
Client membership information and group policies are primarily managed by Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and enforced by fabric edge nodes, not the AP itself.
Security policies are configured centrally in Cisco DNA Center and ISE, then applied to clients by fabric edge nodes, not directly by the fabric AP.
