access. A lightweight AP in local mode normally connects to the wired network through an access port for AP management connectivity, because client data is tunneled to the WLC through CAPWAP rather than locally switched onto multiple client VLANs at the AP switchport. Trunking is typically required for FlexConnect local switching or autonomous AP deployments that map multiple WLANs to VLANs locally. LAG and EtherChannel are link aggregation mechanisms and are not the default port type for a local-mode lightweight AP. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 Network Access expects engineers to distinguish local mode from FlexConnect mode. The corrected answer is access. Local mode centralizes client traffic at the controller, so the AP’s wired switchport does not need to trunk client VLANs by default.
