Hi, i am upgrading my WLCs from 7.0 to 7.2 (and 7.3) version and wondering what is difference between AP mode H-REAP (in 7.0) and FlexConnect mode (in 7.2)?
Appreciate your input.

In the WLAN there is an option for P2P Blocking. Set it to enabled, and it will stop cleints from talking to each other.
if you do forward-upstream, it sends the packets to L3 and uses the policy there to either allow or block.
HTH,

Endpoint,
They just changed the name from HREAP to Flexconnect. They also introduce a Flexconnect

Hi,
FlexConnect Rebranding
Starting this release 7.2, the Hybrid REAPs (Hybrid Remote Edge Access Points) are referred to as FlexConnect Access Points.
A FlexConnect Efficient AP upgrade feature enables administrators to effectively perform AP upgrades. With this feature, one FlexConnect AP of a particular model per branch office acts as a master and downloads the image from a controller, other APs of the same model in the branch pre-download the AP image from the master.
With this feature you enable local distribution of software images from the master to other APs in a branch which speeds up the upgrade and minimizes traffic over the WAN.
You can filter client traffic that is locally switched on the FlexConnect access point which enables protection and integrity of locally switched data traffic at the FlexConnect access point.
This feature allows you to dynamically assign VLANs for locally switched clients on a FlexConnect access point.
This feature removes WAN link dependency by handling mobility events at the FlexConnect access points.
With this feature, you can block peer-to-peer communication on the WLAN which limits vulnerabilities from insecure peer-to-peer client communication.
