Which mode must be set for Aps to communicate to a Wireless LAN Controller using the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol?
For Access Points (APs) to communicate with a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) using the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol, they must operate in lightweight mode. In lightweight mode, the APs are managed by the WLC, offloading most of their management tasks such as configuration, management, and policy enforcement to the controller. This mode allows for centralized control and efficient scaling of the network.
C is correct
lightweight=local mode
Not sure what you mean by "local mode", but looks like it is exactly the opposite. Lightweight = dependent from a controller and can not run "locally". While autonomous mode runs "locally" - does not need Wireless LAN Controllers to function.
I think it means LAP running on one of its mode which is local. Default mode of LAP.
As per ChatGPT : "Lightweight Mode: In this mode, the APs are managed by the WLC. The APs offload most of their management tasks to the controller, such as configuration, management, and policy enforcement. The CAPWAP protocol is used to encapsulate and manage the data between the APs and the WLC."
