REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL3-6Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation GuideOL-12632-03Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Changing the Bridge Group NameChanging the Bridge Group NameThe bridge group name (BGN) controls the association of the access points to a RAP. BGNs can be used to logically group the radios to avoid different networks on the same channel from communicating with each other. This setting is also useful if you have more than one RAP in your network in the same area.If you have two RAPs in your network in the same area (for more capacity), we recommend that you configure the two RAPs with different BGNs and on different channels.The BGN is a string of ten characters maximum. A factory-set bridge group name (NULL VALUE) is assigned during manufacturing. It is not visible to you, but allows new access point radios to join a network of new access points. The BGN can be reconfigured from the Controller CLI and GUI. After configuring the BGN, the access point reboots.After the access points are deployed and associated to the controller, the BGN should be changed from the default value to prevent the MAPs from attempting to associate to other mesh networks.The BGN should be configured very carefully on a live network. You should always start with the most distant access point (last node) from the RAP and move towards the RAP. If you start configuring the BGN in a different location, then the access points beyond this point (farther away) are dropped, as they have a different BGN. To configure the BGN for the access points using the controller GUI, follow these steps:Step 1 Log into your controller using a web browser.Step 2 Click Wireless. When access points associates to the controller, the access point’s name appears in the AP Name list.Step 3 Click on an access point’s name. Step 4 Find the Mesh Information section, and enter the new BGN in the Bridge Group Name field.Step 5 Click Apply.Step 6 Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each access point.Step 7 Log out from your controller, and close your web browser.

The access point is a standalone unit that can be mounted on a streetlight pole, building wall, overhang, or a cable strand.access pointThe access point (model: LAP1524) supports up to four radios operating in the 2.4-GHz, 4.9-GHz, and 5-GHz frequency bands. The access point provides client access and without the need for a license. The 5-GHz and 4.9-GHz radios are dedicated to backhaul operations to reach a wired network and the 2.4-GHz radio is used for wireless clients. The access point can support 6 to 54 Mbps data rates.The access point is manufactured in three configurations: cable, pole mount, and mesh. The cable configuration has three antenna connectors on the top of the unit, can be mounted to a cable strand, and supports power-over-cable (POC). The pole mount configuration supports two antennas on the top and bottom of the unit. It can be mounted to a pole or building wall and supports fiber-optic networks and several power options. The Mesh configuration has two antennas on the top and bottom of the unit. It can be powered by AC and only supports wireless backhaul communications to reach the wired network. It does not support hard-wired communications (cable, fiber-optic, or Ethernet) to a wired network.The access point can also operate as a relay node for other access points not directly connected to a wired network. Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the patented Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). This enables each access point to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal path to the wired network by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number of hops required to get to a controller.The access point is configured, monitored, and operated through a Cisco wireless LAN controller (hereafter called a controller) as described in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide. The Deployment Guide: Cisco Mesh Networking Solution describes how to plan and initially configure the Cisco mesh network, which supports wireless point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh deployments. The controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI), or the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) network management system to manage the controller and the associated access points. The access point supports hardware-based advanced encryption standard (AES) encryption between wireless nodes to provide end-to-end security.Model:AIR-LAP1524-K9Tested To ComplyWith FCC StandardsFOR HOME OR OFFICE USE

For other DHCP server implementations, consult DHCP server product documentation for configuring DHCP Option 43. In Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface.Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type.Cisco Aironet 1000 and 1500 series access points use a comma-separated string format for DHCP Option 43. Other Cisco Aironet access points use the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point’s DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60). The VCI strings for Cisco access points capable of operating in lightweight mode are listed in Table F-1: The format of the TLV block for 1100, 1130, 1200, 1240, 1250, 1300, and 1520 series access points is listed below: • Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241) • Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4 • Value: List of WLC management interfaces Ta b l e F-1 Lightweight Access Point VCI StringsAccess Point Vendor Class Identifier (VCI)Cisco Aironet 1000 series Airespace.AP1200Cisco Aironet 1100 series Cisco AP c1100Cisco Aironet 1130 series Cisco AP c1130Cisco Aironet 1200 series Cisco AP c1200Cisco Aironet 1240 series Cisco AP c1240Cisco Aironet 1250 series Cisco AP c1250Cisco Aironet 1300 series Cisco AP c1300Cisco Aironet 1500 series Cisco AP c150011.

The quotation marks must be included. Step 4 Add the option 43 line using the following syntax: option 43 hex hex string The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values shown below: Type + Length + Value Type is always f1(hex). Length is the number of controller management IP addresses times 4 in hex. Value is the IP address of the controller listed sequentially in hex. For example, suppose that there are two controllers with management interface IP addresses, 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2. The type is f1(hex). The length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex). The IP addresses translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. Assembling the string then yields f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. The resulting Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is listed below: option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02
