A corporate environment is planning to expand its wireless network across multiple offices. The network manager wants to ensure centralized control over all wireless access points to streamline configurations and management. Which type of access point should be used?
Lightweight access points are designed for scenarios where centralized control is required. They do not handle all of their processing and rely on a wireless controller to manage their configurations and data traffic, ideal for large environments requiring uniform policies and simplicity in managing multiple devices. Autonomous access points, while capable of independent operation, are more suited to smaller scale or standalone deployments where centralized management is not as critical. Managed and unmanaged switch options do not directly pertain to the control over wireless access points.
