Q125Network Access

Drag and drop the facts about wireless architectures from the left onto the access point types on the right. Not all options are used. <DragDrop items={["configured and managed by a WLC","accessible for management via Telnet, SSH, or a Web GUI","supports different operational modes","requires a management IP address","supports automatic deployment"]} slots={[{"answer":"accessible for management via Telnet, SSH, or a Web GUI","id":"slot1","group":"Autonomous Access Point"},{"answer":"requires a management IP address","id":"slot2","group":"Autonomous Access Point"},{"answer":"configured and managed by a WLC","id":"slot3","group":"Lightweight Access Point"},{"answer":"supports automatic deployment","id":"slot4","group":"Lightweight Access Point"}]} explanation={"Autonomous access points are standalone devices that are individually configured and administered directly on the AP, typically through Telnet, SSH, or a web interface, and they need their own management IP address. Lightweight access points rely on a wireless LAN controller for centralized configuration and control, which enables streamlined and automatic deployment across many APs. The remaining option is not the best discriminator for this pairing.\n\n**Learn more:** [AP Architectures – Cisco Press](https://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=2999384&seqNum=5) · [Administration of Cisco WLC](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-10/config-guide/b_cg810/administration_of_cisco_wlc.html)"} reuse={false} />

i think it should be Autonomous Access Point - accessible for management via Telnet, SSH, or a Web GUI -requires a management IP address Lightweight Access Point - configured ang managed by a WLC - supports different operational modes
60
The Lightweight Access Point supports different modes, like bridge, sniffer, local, or Flexconnect. Automatic deployments are for cloud based
7
Autonomous is configured by WLC? That's not right

WRONG ANSWER!!! autonomous AP: requires a management IP, accessible for management via Telnet SSH or a web GUI Lightweight AP:configured and managed by a WLC, supports different operational modes Cloud-based AP: managed from a web-based dashboard, supports automatic deployment

(I agree with Lance789, I'm just adding some info from the official CISCO guide.) Cisco Meraki APs can be "deployed automatically", once you register with the Meraki cloud. Each AP will contact the cloud when it powers up and will self-configure. From that point on, you can manage the AP through the Meraki cloud dashboard. (OCG Wendell Odom V1) Cisco AP Modes Many Cisco APs can work in either autonomous or lightweight mode, depending on which code image is loaded and run. From the WLC, you can also configure a lightweight AP to work in one of the following special-purpose modes: Local:.., Monitor:..., Sniffer:..., Rogue detector:..., Bridge:..., Flex+Bridge:..., SE-Connect:... (OCG Wendell Odom V1)

Answer is incorrect. Autonomous: - Accessible via telnet... - Configured by WLC Lightweight - Require a management IP - Support different operational modes

I have an autonomous AP I use at home to extend my Wi-Fi coverage. It has the below options if I need to configure it. Radio0-802.11N2.4GHz Role in Radio Network: Access Point Repeater Root Bridge Non-Root Bridge Workgroup Bridge Universal Workgroup Bridge Client MAC: Scanner This means that Autonomous APs can also support different operational modes. I wish Cisco could fix these annoying ambiguous questions.

Whoever made this question must have left out tons of modes of a LW AP...

Answer is corret. LW SUPPORTS ...

no silly goose sniffer, local, flexconnect, all modes
