How is a configuration change made to a wireless AP in lightweight mode?
The correct answer is B. CAPWAP/LWAPP connection via the parent WLC. Configuration changes for a lightweight Access Point (AP) are made centrally through its associated Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) using CAPWAP/LWAPP.

Why each option
Configuration changes for a lightweight Access Point (AP) are made centrally through its associated Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) using CAPWAP/LWAPP.
Direct SSH connection to configure a lightweight AP is generally not the standard method, as their configuration is managed by the WLC.
Lightweight Access Points (LAPs) function under the centralized control of a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), which pushes all configuration changes, management commands, and firmware updates to the APs via the CAPWAP (or older LWAPP) protocol.
EoIP (Ethernet over IP) is a tunneling protocol but is not the primary protocol used for WLC-to-LAP management and configuration.
Lightweight APs typically do not expose an independent web interface for configuration via HTTPS; their management is solely centralized through the WLC.
