Understanding FlexConnect

FlexConnect is a feature in Cisco wireless LAN controllers that allows access points to locally switch data traffic instead of sending it back to the controller for processing. This allows for improved performance by reducing latency and bandwidth usage for branch office or remote site deployments. FlexConnect also supports local authentication, so users can still access network resources even when the connection to the controller is lost.
