When you enable the mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent feature on the MAPs (Mesh Access Points), it changes the behavior of how the MAPs forward traffic. Here are the different answer choices and what they mean:
A. The MAPs bridge traffic that came from the Ethernet port, but only if the VLAN tag matches the Cisco WLC configured VLANs and interfaces. This means that the MAPs will only bridge traffic that arrives on the Ethernet port if it has a VLAN tag that matches the VLANs and interfaces configured on the Cisco WLC (Wireless LAN Controller). If the VLAN tag does not match, the traffic will not be bridged.
B. The MAPs bridge traffic according to the VLAN configuration. This means that the MAPs will bridge traffic based on the VLAN configuration set on the Cisco WLC. If a VLAN is configured on the Cisco WLC, traffic with that VLAN tag will be bridged by the MAPs. If a VLAN is not configured on the Cisco WLC, traffic with that VLAN tag will not be bridged.
C. The MAPs bridge toward the backhaul all traffic that arrives on the Ethernet port, without touching the VLAN tag. This means that the MAPs will bridge all traffic that arrives on the Ethernet port towards the backhaul, regardless of the VLAN tag. The VLAN tag will not be modified or removed.
D. The MAPs bridge toward the backhaul only traffic that arrives as untagged on the Ethernet port. This means that the MAPs will only bridge traffic that arrives on the Ethernet port if it is untagged. If the traffic arrives with a VLAN tag, it will not be bridged.
E. The MAPs untag all traffic that arrives on the Ethernet port and bridge all the traffic toward the backhaul. This means that the MAPs will remove the VLAN tag from all traffic that arrives on the Ethernet port and bridge all traffic towards the backhaul. All traffic will be treated as untagged traffic.
In summary, enabling the mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent feature on the MAPs changes the way traffic is bridged by the MAPs. The behavior depends on the specific configuration set on the Cisco WLC and the options selected for this feature.
