Jeff, Everything that Frans said. Plus, check the subject "ResHalls", that had a good discussion on Flexconnect. Below is an email I had sent. In the end, the cons led us not to use FlexConnect and we stayed in local mode.

Here are my observations: *Great alternative to switch data locally (obviously) *No AVC Support *When controller is down, AP goes into standalone more. Must make sure that AP is not able to reach any other controller you don't want. This was fixed with an ACL. *Client details page does not show client IPv6 address. Client still gets IPv6 address. (PRIME does show it if you run a report). *Client details page does not show VLAN ID. *Putting AP in FlexConnect mode does not require reboot (Cool!) *No IPv6 ACL support More testing to do, but so far so good. -Hector From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Legge, Jeffry Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2015 5:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] FlexConnect I am not currently using any Aps in FlexConnect mode in any buildings on campus. We are building a new building and I have been asked to use FlexConnect mode for the Aps in this building. Is anyone using FlexConnect in campus buildings? If so why are you using it rather than Local mode and is it more or less difficult to configure.
