I have a AIR-AP3802l-E-K9 antenna. How do i know if it is standalone or lightweigt?

[Mark Malone]

check the show version when consoled in w7 or w8

ap3g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JD.tar---- auton

ap3g2-k9w8-tar.153-3.JD.tar---- lightweight

hi

That information is not correct for 1800/2800/3800 

Those APs do not run aIOS, so there is no "standalone" or autonomous mode per-se

All of them are lightweight (CAPWAP), with a Mobility express mode (those part numbers ending on C, or if you install the ME image later) that offer a controller running inside the AP. That would be the closest to a standalone equivalent

Javier,

Does this mean we can't use 1800/2800/3800 for surveys?

Thanks,

Bob

hi

you can, if you configure them as ME controllers

a single AP can be both ME WLC and servicing AP,  so in the end, it can act as a kind of standalone AP
