Show answer
Answer: B
Explanation
You might find this note interesting: To change a Cisco Access Point (AP) from lightweight mode to autonomous mode, you need to perform a firmware update. Here’s a general outline of the steps involved: Download the correct autonomous firmware from the Cisco website for your specific AP model. Connect to the AP using a console cable. Set up a TFTP server on your computer and ensure it can communicate with the AP. Use the AP’s console interface to configure the AP with a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway that matches your network configuration. Use the archive download-sw command on the AP to download and install the autonomous firmware from the TFTP server. After the firmware is installed, the AP will restart, and you should be able to log in and verify that it is now running in autonomous mode by checking the version information.
