When a user works remotely, he/she may need to access devices on his/her home network, such as a printer. In order to allow the user to access the printer, the engineer needs to configure the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) appropriately.

Out of the options given, the most relevant option for this scenario is "split tunneling". Split tunneling is a technique where a VPN connection is established between the user's remote device and the company network, but the traffic is split between the VPN tunnel and the user's local network. This means that the user can access both the company network and his/her home network at the same time.

To enable split tunneling on the Cisco WLC, the engineer needs to configure a "split tunnel policy". This policy defines which traffic should be sent over the VPN tunnel and which traffic should be sent directly to the user's local network. In this case, the engineer would configure the policy to allow the user to access the printer on his/her home network.

SE-connect, FlexConnect, and AP failover priority are not relevant to this scenario. SE-connect is a feature that allows Cisco access points to connect to each other wirelessly, forming a mesh network. FlexConnect is a feature that allows access points to switch between local and central switching modes. AP failover priority is a feature that determines the order in which access points take over if one of them fails.
