Explanation

An autonomous AP is a self-contained device with both wired and wireless hardware so that it can bridge to the wired VLAN infrastructure wireless clients that belong to SSIDs. Each autonomous AP must be configured with a management IP address so that it can be remotely accessed using Telnet, SSH, or a web interface. Each AP must be individually managed and Cloud-based AP management is an alternative to purchasing a management platform. The AP management function is pushed into the Internet cloud. For example, Cisco Meraki is a cloud- based AP management service that allows you to automatically deploy Cisco Meraki APs. These APs can then be managed from the Meraki cloud web interface.
