6 Preparing the AP for Installation

Before mounting and deploying your access point, Cisco recommends performing a site survey to determine the optimal installation location. Ensure you have the following information available:

• Access point locations.
• Access point mounting options (e.g., suspended ceiling, flat horizontal surface, desktop). Note: Mounting above a suspended ceiling requires additional hardware. Refer to the "Mounting the Access Point" section on page 12.
• Access point power options: 802.3at (PoE+) via Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ6= or 802.3af via Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ5=. Note: If 802.3af is used, both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios will be reduced to 1x1, Ethernet will be downgraded to 1 GbE, and the USB port will be off.
• Operating temperature: 32°–122°F (0°–50°C). Note: In ambient temperatures between 104°–122°F (>40°–50°C), the access point must be configured for 2x2 on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, 1GbE Ethernet, and the USB port should have no load.

Cisco recommends creating a site map showing access point locations to record device MAC addresses for network planning and management.

7 Installation Overview

Installing the access point involves the following operations:

1. Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration, page 10 (optional)
2. Mounting the Access Point, page 12
3. Powering the Access Point, page 13
4. Preparing the AP for Installation, page 9

8 Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration

These procedures ensure expected access point installation and initial operation. This procedure is optional.

Note: If your network controller is properly configured, you can install the access point in its final location and connect it directly. See the "Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network" section on page 14 for details.

Figure 3: Pre-Installation Configuration Setup

This diagram illustrates a typical pre-installation configuration setup involving a controller, Layer 3 devices, and Cisco Aironet access points.

To perform pre-installation configuration, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the Cisco Wireless Controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the appropriate Cisco Wireless Controller guide for CLI or web-browser interface procedures.
   • Verify that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco Wireless Controller Management and AP-Manager Interface.
   • Configure the switch to which your access point will attach. Refer to the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for your release.
   • Set the Cisco Wireless Controller as the master to ensure new access points join it.
   • Ensure DHCP is enabled on the network; the access point must receive its IP address via DHCP. Note: An 802.11ax Cisco AP receives an IP address from the DHCP server only if a default router (gateway) is configured and the gateway ARP is resolved.
   • CAPWAP UDP ports must not be blocked.
   • The access point must be able to find the controller's IP address, achievable via DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide focuses on the DHCP method. Refer to product documentation for other methods or "Configuring DHCP Option 43" on page 17. Note: The access point requires a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck, as wireless traffic speeds exceed 10/100 Ethernet port speeds.
2. Apply power to the access point. See "Powering the Access Point" on page 13.
   • As the access point connects to the controller, its LEDs cycle through green, red, and blue (up to 5 minutes). Note: If the access point remains in this mode for over five minutes, it cannot find the Master Cisco Wireless Controller. Check the connection and ensure the access point and controller are on the same subnet.
   • If the access point shuts down, check the power source.
   • Once connected to the controller, the AP attempts to download new OS code if versions differ. The Status LED blinks blue during this process.
   • Upon successful OS download, the access point reboots.
3. Configure the access point as needed using the controller CLI, GUI, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure for specific 802.11ac network settings.
4. If pre-installation configuration is successful, the Status LED turns green, indicating normal operation. Disconnect the access point and mount it at its intended deployment location.
5. If the access point does not indicate normal operation, power it off and repeat the pre-installation configuration. Note: When installing a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the Cisco Wireless Controller, ensure a DHCP server is reachable from the AP's subnet and has a route back to the controller. This route must have UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP. Ensure routes allow IP packet fragments. If address translation is used, use static 1-to-1 NAT; Port Address Translation is not supported.

9 Mounting the Access Point

Cisco Catalyst 9120AX series access points can be mounted in various configurations: on a suspended ceiling, hard ceiling or wall, electrical or network box, or above a suspended ceiling. For detailed mounting instructions, visit: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html

Table 1: Brackets and Clips for Mounting the AP

Notes on Mounting:

1. Mount the AP using at least four screw holes on a bracket.
2. AIR-AP-BRACKET-3 is not compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9120AX series access points.
3. Third-party "in-tile" mounting options are available. For more information, consult the access point data sheet on Cisco.com: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/guide-c07-742311.html

To prevent the AP from being knocked off the mounting bracket in areas where this is a risk, use the lock hasp on the back of the AP (see Figure 4) to secure it to the bracket.

Figure 4: Locking the AP to the Bracket

This figure shows the position of the hasps for the locks on the back of the 9120AXI model.

10 Powering the Access Point

The AP can be powered exclusively through Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) using:

• 802.3at (PoE+): Any 802.3at (30.0 W) compliant switch port or Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ6=.
• 802.3af: Any 802.3af (15.4 W) compliant switch port or Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ5=.

Note: If 802.3af is used, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios will be reduced to 1x1, Ethernet will be downgraded to 1 GbE, and the USB port will be off.

11 Configuring and Deploying the Access Point

This section details connecting the access point to a controller. Configuration is performed on the controller; refer to the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for detailed information.

The Controller Discovery Process

Note:

• The controller must be running release 8.9.111.0 or later to support 9120AX series access points. For more information, visit the access point data sheet on Cisco.com: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/guide-c07-742311.html
• Access point names cannot contain spaces when using the controller CLI for editing or querying.
• Ensure the controller's time is set correctly. An incorrect time may invalidate the AP's certificate, preventing it from joining the controller.

Access points must be discovered by a controller before they can become active network components. The access point supports these discovery processes:

• Locally stored controller IP address discovery: If the AP was previously joined to a controller, its primary, secondary, and tertiary controller IP addresses are stored in non-volatile memory. This process is called priming. See "Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration" on page 10 for more information.
• DHCP server discovery: Uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP addresses. Cisco switches support this DHCP server option. Refer to "Configuring DHCP Option 43" on page 17 for details.
• DNS discovery: The AP can discover controllers via your domain name server (DNS). Configure your DNS to return controller IP addresses for CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When an AP receives IP and DNS information from DHCP, it queries DNS to resolve this name. The DNS then provides controller IP addresses, and the AP sends discovery requests.

Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network

After mounting the access point, follow these steps to deploy it:

1. Connect and power up the access point.
2. Observe the access point LED. (For LED descriptions, see "Checking the Access Point LEDs" on page 14).
   • Upon power-up, the AP begins a sequence: LEDs blink green, red, then off. A successful sequence indicates discovery and join process initiation. When joined to a controller, the LED chirps green (no clients) or is solid green (one or more clients).
   • If the LED is off, the AP is likely not receiving power.
   • If the LED blinks sequentially for over 5 minutes, the AP cannot find its Cisco Wireless Controller. Check the connection and ensure the AP and controller are on the same subnet, or that the AP has a route back to the controller. If not on the same subnet, ensure a DHCP server is available on the AP's subnet and configured correctly (see "Configuring DHCP Option 43" on page 17).
3. Reconfigure the Cisco Wireless Controller to not be the master. Note: A master Cisco Wireless Controller should only be used for initial configuration, not in a working network.

12 Checking the Access Point LEDs

The access point status LED location is shown in Figure 2.

Note: Small variations in LED color intensity and hue are normal and within manufacturer specifications; they do not indicate a defect. LED intensity can be adjusted via the controller.

Table 2: LED Status Indications

13 Miscellaneous Usage and Configuration Guidelines

Using the Mode Button

The Mode button (see Figure 2) can be used to:

• Reset the AP to its default factory-shipped configuration.
• Clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files.

To use the mode button:

1. Press and hold the mode button on the access point during its boot cycle. Wait until the AP status LED changes to Blue. A seconds counter will appear on the AP console.
2. Then:
   • To reset to factory defaults, keep the button pressed for less than 20 seconds. This clears configuration files, passwords, WEP keys, IP address, and SSID.
   • To clear internal storage (including configuration files and regulatory domain), press for more than 20 seconds but less than 60 seconds. The AP status LED changes from Blue to Red, and all files in the AP storage directory are cleared.
3. If the mode button is pressed for more than 60 seconds, it is assumed faulty, and no changes are made.

Troubleshooting the Access Point to Cisco Controller Join Process

Note: Ensure your controller is running software Release 8.9.111.0 or later, as specified in the Cisco Wireless Solutions Software Compatibility Matrix.

Access points may fail to join a controller for various reasons, including RADIUS authorization issues, disabled self-signed certificates, or mismatched regulatory domains. Controller software allows configuration of CAPWAP-related errors to be sent to a syslog server, eliminating the need for controller debug commands.

The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller until a CAPWAP join request is received. Troubleshooting join problems without CAPWAP debug commands involves analyzing information collected by the controller for all access points sending discovery messages.

The controller collects join-related information from the first discovery message to the last configuration payload. If the controller is at its maximum capacity for maintaining join information, it will not collect data for additional access points.

An access point sends all syslog messages to IP address 255.255.255.255 by default under certain conditions:

• A newly deployed access point running release 8.2.110.0 or later.
• An existing access point running release 8.2.110.0 or later that has been reset.

If these conditions are met and the AP has not joined a controller, a DHCP server can be configured (using option 7) to return a syslog server IP address. The AP will then send all syslog messages to this address.

When an access point joins a controller for the first time, the controller sends its global syslog server IP address (default: 255.255.255.255) to the AP. The AP sends syslog messages to this address until overridden by:

• A change in the controller's global syslog server IP address configuration (using config ap syslog host global syslog_server_IP_address).
• A specific syslog server IP address configured for the AP on the controller (using config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address).
• The AP disconnecting from its controller and joining another controller, which then sends its global syslog server IP address.

When a new syslog server IP address overrides an existing one, the old address is erased, and the new one is stored. The AP sends messages to the new IP address if it is reachable.

Syslog server configuration and access point join information can be managed via the controller CLI.

Important Information for Controller-based Deployments

• The access point communicates only with Cisco wireless controllers.
• The access point does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) but the controller provides equivalent functionality.
• CAPWAP does not support Layer 2. The access point must obtain an IP address and discover the controller using Layer 3, DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast.
• The access point console port is for monitoring and debugging; configuration commands are disabled when connected to a controller.

Configuring DHCP Option 43

DHCP Option 43 can provide a list of controller IP addresses to access points, enabling them to find and join a controller.

The following is an example DHCP Option 43 configuration for a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server with Cisco Catalyst lightweight access points. Consult product documentation for other DHCP server implementations. Use the controller management interface IP address for Option 43.

Note: DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. Configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type.

The 9120AX series access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string. The VCI string for the 9120AX series is: Cisco AP C9120AX

The TLV block format is:

• Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241)
• Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4
• Value: IP addresses of the WLC management interfaces, listed sequentially in hex.

To configure DHCP Option 43 in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server:

1. Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS CLI.
2. Create the DHCP pool with necessary parameters (default router, name server). Example scope:
   • ip dhcp pool <pool name>
   • network <IP Network> <Netmask>
   • default-router <Default router>
   • dns-server <DNS Server>

   Where:

   • <pool name> is the DHCP pool name (e.g., AP9120AX).
   • <IP Network> is the network IP address of the controller (e.g., 10.0.15.1).
   • <Netmask> is the subnet mask (e.g., 255.255.255.0).
   • <Default router> is the default router IP address (e.g., 10.0.0.1).
   • <DNS Server> is the DNS server IP address (e.g., 10.0.10.2).
3. Add the option 43 line: option 43 hex <hex string>

The hex string is assembled by concatenating TLV values: Type + Length + Value.

Example: For two controllers with IP addresses 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2, the type is f1(hex), length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08(hex). The IP addresses translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. The assembled string is f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. The Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is: option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02
