Cisco 300-425 - Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD)

FlexConnect mode is ideal for branch offices and remote locations where it’s necessary to minimize wireless traffic tunneled back to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). In FlexConnect mode, APs can perform client authentication locally and bridge traffic onto the local network. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide.

The exhibit refers to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure’s planning mode feature, which is a tool used for designing and planning wireless networks. The planning mode allows network administrators to input floor plans and simulate access point placement for optimal coverage. It does not require a special license; it is part of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure’s base functionalities. Planning mode does not necessarily present the recommended number of APs; instead, it allows users to manually place potential APs on a map to predict coverage areas. While synchronization with controllers may enhance functionality, it is not strictly necessary for planning mode to operate.

Creating a mobility group requires that all Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) share the same mobility group name. This allows them to recognize each other as peers and participate in client mobility events. The WLCs must be defined as peers in each other’s static mobility members list to facilitate inter-controller communication and roaming.
