Local EAP is an authentication method that allows users and wireless clients to be authenticated locally on the controller. It is designed for use in remote offices that want to maintain connectivity to wireless clients when the backend system becomes disrupted or the external authentication server goes down. When you enable local EAP, the controller serves as the authentication server and the local user database, so it removes dependence on an external authentication server.

Selected Answer: B
When the WLC cannot communicate with the RADIUS server, it needs an alternative method to authenticate users. Local EAP allows the WLC to act as an authentication server and handle 802.1x authentication itself, without relying on an external RADIUS server. Local EAP is a backup authentication method that provides authentication services when the external RADIUS server is unreachable. The WLC maintains a local user database or certificate-based authentication, allowing clients to authenticate without needing RADIUS.
