AP creates two CAPWAP tunnels to the controller, one for management and the other for data traffic.
This is known as central switching because the data traffic is switched (bridged) from the AP to the

The AP has integrated omni antennas and contains
a 2.4-GHz and a 5-GHz radio to configure in
centralized, FlexConnect, and Mobility Express
modes.
The AP is a standalone unit that can be pole
mounted or tower mounted. It can also operate as
a relay node for other APs that are not directly
connected to a wired network.
