A. B. C. D.B.
In an OfficeExtend deployment, remote workers can connect to the organization's wireless network using an OfficeExtend Access Point (OEAP). However, in this scenario, users are reporting that they are losing connectivity to their local network printers.
The most likely reason for this issue is that when users connect to the organization's wireless network through the OEAP, their traffic is being tunneled back to the corporate network, which may be causing the loss of connectivity to their local network resources.
To resolve this issue, we need to allow the users' local network traffic to bypass the tunnel and be sent directly to their local network resources. This can be achieved through OEAP split tunneling.
OEAP split tunneling allows users to access both the corporate network and their local network resources simultaneously. With OEAP split tunneling, only the traffic that is destined for the corporate network is sent through the tunnel, while all other traffic is sent directly to its destination.
Therefore, the correct answer to this question is B. OEAP split tunnel. By implementing OEAP split tunneling, users will be able to maintain connectivity to their local network resources, including printers, while still being able to access the corporate network.
