Explain the spine-leaf achitecture.
A network topology that consists of 2 switching layers—a spine and a leaf.
* The leaf layer consists of access switches that aggregate traffic from servers and connect directly to the spine or network core * Spine switches interconnect all leaf switches in a full-mesh topology.

82
New cards
What is (Link Aggregation) LAG?
Also known as EtherChannel to bundle multiple ports into one.
83
New cards
What is FlexConnect mode?
Allows the AP to locally switch traffic between wired and wireless networks if CAPWAP tunnels to the WLC go down.
84
New cards
What is Local mode?
The default mode for an LAP where the AP offers a BSS for clients to associate with
85
New cards
What is Sniffer mode?
The AP does not offer a BSS for clients, but it is dedicated to capture 802.11 frames and sending them to a device running software such as Wireshark
86
New cards

The AP does not off a BSS for clients, but it is dedicated to capture 802.11 frames to detect rogue devices.
87
New cards
What is Rogue Detector mode?
The AP does not even use its radio, but listens to traffic on the wired network only to receive a list of suspected rogue clients.

New cards
Explain SDN?
A network architecture that separates the control plane from the data plane, allowing network behavior to be defined and controlled using software
89
New cards
What is the control plane?
The "brain" of the network, making decisions about how the network should behave (traffic routing and network topology).
90
New cards
What is the data plane?
The "body" of the network, performing the actual work of forwarding network traffic that has been defined
91
