local AP mode work local authentication or centralized cisco ?

local AP mode refers to the mode where the AP performs local switching. 

When an AP is operating in local switching mode, it can perform local authentication. This means the AP itself handles the authentication process without involving a centralized authentication server.

On the other hand, the AP can be configured to use centralized authentication, where the authentication process is delegated to a central authentication server, typically a RADIUS server.
