A county WLAN uses controller-based APs downtown and cloud-managed APs at rural branches. When staging hardware for a new branch clinic, what selection awareness should the technician apply?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hybrid campuses are like mixed fleets—sedans downtown, trucks at the farms. You do not drop a downtown controller AP into a cloud-only clinic and hope. Pick the type the site design actually calls for.
Full Explanation
Different sites may intentionally use different AP management architectures. Technician selection remains type-aware per location: cloud APs for branches that are designed for cloud management, controller-based APs where the WLC design applies. Mixing types without conversion or design approval leaves APs unable to join their intended management plane.
