This link supports "A" as the answer: "In local mode, an AP creates two CAPWAP tunnels to the WLC. One is for management, the other is data traffic. This behavior is known as "centrally switched" because the data traffic is switched(bridged) from the ap to the controller where it is then routed by some routing device." https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-and-mobility/what-s-the-difference-between-local-mode-and-flex-connect-mode/td-p/2532657

Good link Dave. A is the best answer. A is an accurate statement as data traffic is tunneled back to the controller for an SSID with Local AP Mode B should have referenced FlexConnect AP [Standalone Mode], not local ap mode [Central Switching or Connected Mode] C is wrong as the purpose of FlexConnect is to provide local connectivity when the connection to controller is lost D is wrong because "local" switching is referenced and it should be "central" switching https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/latam/docs/2016/pdf/BRKEWN-2016.pdf https://www.kareemccie.com/2017/08/what-is-flexconnect.html

Actually, the right answer is A. The FlexConnect AP can locally switch traffic between a VLAN and SSID when the CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC is down. If option D had said, "when it is down," it would have been the right answer. But here, they said, "configured."

Selected Answer: D
Two CAPWAP channels included in one tunnel. The only reference of two tunnels is from a random post on Cisco community, I'd bet the guy knows but typed too quickly.

The question is asking for "the difference" between the two but I believe an access point creates two capwap tunnels when in flex connect mode as well. The only hard difference i see between the two is option "D"
