One solved question, so you can see how these are marked

Which protocol do Cisco lightweight access points use for control communication with a Wireless LAN Controller?

CAPWAP

Cisco lightweight APs use CAPWAP for controller discovery, join, and control communication. In central switching, client data also traverses a CAPWAP data tunnel to the WLC; FlexConnect local switching can instead bridge client data onto the local wired network.
