Description
A FlexConnect is said to be in Connected Mode
when its CAPWAP control plane back to the
controller is up and operational, meaning the
WAN link is not down.
Standalone mode is specified as the operational
state the FlexConnect enters when it no longer has
the connectivity back to the controller.
FlexConnect APs in Standalone mode will
continue to function with last known
configuration, even in the event of power failure
and WLC or WAN failure.
