What restrictions are imposed on a Cisco IOS Software-based access point after conversion to lightweight mode?
A. Keep these guidelines in mind when you use autonomous access points that have been converted to lightweight mode: • APs that are converted to Lightweight AP Protocol (LWAPP) do not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS). LWAPP-converted APs communicate only with Cisco Wireless LAN (WLAN) Controllers (WLCs) and cannot communicate with WDS devices. However, the WLC provides functionality that is equivalent to the WDS when the AP associates to the WLC. • Converted access points support 2006, 4400, and WiSM controllers only. When you convert an autonomous access point to lightweight mode, the access point can communicate with Cisco 2006 series controllers, 4400 series controllers, or the controllers on a Cisco WiSM only. • In controller software release 4.2 or later, all Cisco lightweight access points support 16 BSSIDs per radio and a total of 16 wireless LANs per access point. In previous releases, they supported only 8 BSSIDs per radio and a total of 8 wireless LANs per access point.
