A. B. C. D.A.
Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is a network architecture that enables organizations to simplify their network infrastructure by using policy-based automation to deploy and manage their network services. Cisco SD-Access wireless network infrastructure deployments offer a simplified way to manage wireless access points (APs) and wireless clients by integrating them into the fabric overlay.
The fabric overlay is a virtual network that overlays the physical underlay network, providing a single fabric for managing all network devices. In the context of Cisco SD-Access, the AP is considered part of the fabric overlay, which means that it is managed by the fabric controller (FC). The FC is responsible for configuring the AP's wireless settings, such as SSID, security, and radio frequency (RF) profiles. Additionally, the FC can enforce policies on the wireless traffic, such as traffic segmentation and Quality of Service (QoS).
On the other hand, the wireless client is not part of the fabric overlay. Instead, it is treated like any other endpoint in the network, and its traffic is subject to the same policies enforced by the FC.
Therefore, the answer to the question is A. The access point is part of the fabric overlay. Option B is incorrect because the wireless client is not part of the fabric overlay. Option C is incorrect because the fabric underlay consists of physical devices such as switches and routers, while the AP is a wireless device. Option D is incorrect because the wireless LAN controller (WLC) is not part of the fabric underlay. Instead, it is considered part of the fabric overlay, where it provides centralized management and control of the APs.
