Autonomous Access Point (AP) do not require a controller to control the AP and it use WLSE for management software. Autonomous / Standalone Access Point configuration settings are maintained locally on the wireless device. Each autonomous device can load its starting configuration independently. In case of deployment of many APs, LWAPP will be better for easier management, otherwise in case of few APs, autonomous is suggested because it do not require additional WLC.
