During a failover drill, a city controller cluster fails. Some client data forwarding continues while new 802.1X authentications stall. What does this most likely demonstrate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Controllers are like city hall and the mail trucks. Mail already on the road may keep moving, but new IDs at the clerk window freeze when city hall is dark. Know which plane breaks.
Full Explanation
WLAN architectures separate control/auth functions from data forwarding to varying degrees. Under controller outage, locally switching APs may keep existing sessions forwarding while new 802.1X/RADIUS joins fail. Understanding plane impact is essential for resilience testing; assuming total blackout or guest-only impact is incorrect.
