Will a lightweight access point be able to talk to a Cisco Wireless Domain Services (WDS) device such as the Cisco Catalyst

6500 Series

Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM)?

The access point’s lightweight image will only be able to talk to an LWAPP-enabled wireless LAN controller. Lightweight access points

cannot talk to a Cisco WDS device. LWAPP coupled with a controller obviates the need for Cisco WDS or a WDS device.

Can an access point that was converted from autonomous mode to lightweight mode supporting LWAPP be converted back to autonomous

mode running Cisco IOS Software?

Yes. In order to convert an access point operating in lightweight mode back to autonomous mode, a new image must be placed on the access

point. This can be performed via the following:

•

If the access point is in contact with a controller, the controller can initiate the download of an autonomous Cisco IOS Software image.

•

If the access point cannot contact a controller, it can be reverted back to autonomous Cisco IOS Software by rebooting the access point with the

reset button pressed. Upon bootup, the access point looks for a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on the local subnet with an image
named for it.

Note:

It is possible to disable the access point reset button via a configuration option on the controller or Cisco WCS. Doing so would prevent

this method of reverting back to autonomous Cisco IOS Software mode.
