Access point at remote site

Hi All,

Does anyone know how we can configure our AIR-CAP1702I-E-K9 AP at a remote site that can manage by the central controller at HO while forwarding the data traffics from the remote location?

Utilise flexconnect local switching - this is based on remote location has access to the WLC via WAN

Thanks Haydn,

Using Flexconnect can we route only the data traffic from the remote location and bring only management traffics to the HO?

Correct

AP management routed to the WLC

client traffic if flex connect local switching but there also options to keep clients working if link drops

dropped off to the local site and routed as per your current routing

Thanks again Haydn,

Could you please send a cisco guide or video reference for these configurations?
