Changing the Bridge Group Name
REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
Changing the Bridge Group Name
The 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.

If you need to monitor the access point locally (without connecting the access point to a wired LAN),
you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable.
Note
The console port should only be used for debugging in a lab environment.
Follow these steps to open the CLI by connecting to the access point console port:
Step 1
Open the hinged cover of the access point (see “Opening the Access Point Hinged Cover” section on
page 2-38 for instructions).
Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 console port on the access point and
to the COM port on a computer (see Figure 3-2 for the console port location).
Note
Step 2
The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to
http://www.cisco.com/go/marketplace to order a serial cable.
Set up a terminal emulator program on your PC to communicate with the access point. Use the following
settings for the terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow
control.

This section provides declarations of conformity and regulatory information for the
Cisco Aironet 1524 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point.
Overview
The Cisco Aironet 1524 Series Outdoor Wireless Mesh Access Point (hereafter called the access point)
is a wireless device designed for wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint
bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point is a standalone unit that
can be mounted on a streetlight pole, building wall, overhang, or a cable strand.access point
The 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.

Overview
This section contains a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a DHCP server for use with Cisco
Aironet lightweight access points. 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:

Configuring Option 43 for 1000 and 1500 Series Access Points
To configure DHCP Option 43 for Cisco 1000 and 1500 series lightweight access points in the embedded
Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:
Step 1
Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI).
Step 2
Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server. The
commands used to create a DHCP pool are as follows:
ip dhcp pool pool name
network IP Network Netmask
default-router Default router
dns-server DNS Server
Where:
pool name is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP1000
IP Network is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1
Netmask is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0
Default router is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1
DNS Server is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2
Step 3
Add the option 60 line for access point using the following syntax:
option 60 ascii “VCI string”
For the VCI string, use the value from Table F-1. The quotation marks must be included.
Step 4
Add the option 43 line using the following syntax:
option 43 ascii “Comma Separated IP Address List”
For example, if you are configuring option 43 for Cisco 1000 or 1500 series access points using the
controller IP addresses 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2, add the following line to the DHCP pool in the
Cisco IOS CLI:

Default router is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1
DNS Server is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2
Step 3
Add the option 60 line using the following syntax:
option 60 ascii “VCI string”
For the VCI string, use the value from Table F-1. 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:

MBSSID
Multiple basic SSID. Each multiple basic SSID is assigned a unique MAC
address. You use multiple BSSIDs to assign a unique DTIM setting for each
SSID and to broadcast SSIDs in beacons (one SSID per beacon).
modulation
Any of several techniques for combining user information with a transmitter’s
carrier signal.
multipath
The echoes created as a radio signal bounces off of physical objects.
multicast packet
A single data message (packet) sent to multiple addresses.
omni-directional
This typically refers to a primarily circular antenna radiation pattern.
OFDM
Orthogonal frequency division multiplex is a modulation technique used by IEEE
802.11a-compliant wireless LANs for transmission at 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48,
and 54 Mbps.
packet
A basic message unit for communication across a network. A packet usually includes routing
information, data, and sometimes error detection information.

QPSK
Quadruple phase shift keying is a modulation technique used by IEEE
802.11b-compliant wireless LANs for transmission at 2 Mbps.
range
A linear measure of the distance that a transmitter can send a signal.
receiver sensitivity
A measurement of the weakest signal a receiver can receive and still correctly
translate it into data.
RF
Radio frequency. A generic term for radio-based technology.
roaming
A feature of some Access Points that allows users to move through a facility
while maintaining an unbroken connection to the LAN.
RP-TNC
A connector type unique to Cisco Aironet radios and antennas. Part 15.203 of
the FCC rules covering spread spectrum devices limits the types of antennas that
may be used with transmission equipment. In compliance with this rule, Cisco
Aironet, like all other wireless LAN providers, equips its radios and antennas
with a unique connector to prevent attachment of non-approved antennas to
radios.
spread spectrum
A radio transmission technology that spreads the user information over a much
wider bandwidth than otherwise required in order to gain benefits such as
improved interference tolerance and unlicensed operation.
SSID
Service set identifier (also referred to as Radio Network Name). A unique
identifier used to identify a radio network and which stations must use to be able
to communicate with each other or to an access point. The SSID can be any
alphanumeric entry up to a maximum of 32 characters.
transmit power
The power level of radio transmission.

UNII
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure—regulations for UNII devices
operating in the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz and 5.725 to 5.825 GHz frequency bands.
UNII-1
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency band.
UNII-2
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz frequency band.
UNII-3
Regulations for UNII devices operating in the 5.725 to 5.825 GHz frequency
band.
unicast packet
A single data message (packet) sent to a specific IP address.
WDS
Wireless Domain Services. An access point providing WDS on your wireless
LAN maintains a cache of credentials for CCKM-capable client devices on your
wireless LAN. When a CCKM-capable client roams from one access point to
another, the WDS access point forwards the client's credentials to the new access
point with the multicast key. Only two packets pass between the client and the
new access point, greatly shortening the reassociation time.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy. An optional security mechanism defined within the
802.11 standard designed to make the link integrity of wireless devices equal to
that of a cable.
WLSE
Wireless LAN Solutions Engine. The WLSE is a specialized appliance for
managing Cisco Aironet wireless LAN infrastructures. It centrally identifies and
configures access points in customer-defined groups and reports on throughput
and client associations. WLSE's centralized management capabilities are further
enhanced with an integrated template-based configuration tool for added
configuration ease and improved productivity.
WNM
Wireless Network Manager.
workstation
A computing device with an installed client adapter.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access is a standards-based, interoperable security
enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access
control for existing and future wireless LAN systems. It is derived from and will
be forward-compatible with the upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA
leverages TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for data protection and
802.1X for authenticated key management.
