FlexConnect is a wireless solution for branch office and remote office deployments. It allows access points (APs) to switch client data traffic locally and perform client authentication locally when their connection to the controller is interrupted. In FlexConnect mode, APs can also perform scanning for rogue devices. Monitor mode enables APs to scan the environment and listen for rogue APs without serving clients. This mode dedicates the AP for monitoring purposes, which can be useful for security and troubleshooting.
