Which two descriptions of FlexConnect mode for Cisco APs are true? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AAPs that operate in FlexConnect mode cannot detect rogue APs
• BFlexConnect mode is used when the APs are set up in a mesh environment and used to bridge
• CFlexConnect mode is a feature that is designed to allow specified CAPWAP-enabled APs to
• DWhen connected to the controller, FlexConnect APs can tunnel traffic back to the controller
• EFlexConnect mode is a wireless solution for branch office and remote office deployments

• B
  4% (1)
• C
  8% (2)
• D
  88% (22)

Explanation

FlexConnect Mode Explanation

Why D and E are correct: FlexConnect (formerly Hybrid REAP) is specifically designed for branch and remote office deployments where local switching is needed but centralized management is still desired (E). When the WAN link to the controller is active, FlexConnect APs tunnel traffic back to the controller via CAPWAP, just like local-mode APs - but they can also switch traffic locally if the controller becomes unreachable (D).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is false - FlexConnect APs can detect rogue APs
• B describes Bridge/Mesh mode, not FlexConnect
• C is incomplete and cut off, but appears to describe standard CAPWAP operation, not FlexConnect specifically

Memory Tip

Think of FlexConnect as "Flexible Remote Office APs" - they are flexible because they work in two modes: tunneling to the controller when connected, or switching locally when disconnected. The key words to remember are "remote/branch office" and "tunnel when connected, local when not." If a question mentions branch offices or remote locations with a WAN link back to a controller, FlexConnect is almost always the answer.
