• 2106 controller
• WS-C3550, WS-C3560, WS-C3750

• 1250 series access point power injector (if using Gigabit Ethernet)
• 1200 Series access point DC power supply

5 Configuring the Access Point
This section describes how to connect the access point to a wireless LAN controller.
======ARE THERE ANY PRECONDITIONING COMMANDS AVAILABLE? ======
The Controller Discovery Process
The 1140 series access point uses the IETF standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access
Points Protocol (CAPWAP) to communicate between the controller and other wireless access points on
the network. CAPWAP is a standard, interoperable protocol which enables an access controller to
manage a collection of wireless termination points. The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical
to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with previous Cisco Aironet access points.
ap1140getstart.fm Page 5 Monday, June 16, 2008 8:49 AM
6
REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
LWAPP enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP and conversion to a CAPWAP controller
is seamless. Deployments can have a mix of CAPWAP and LWAPP software running on the controllers.
The CAPWAP enabled software will allow for access points to join either a controller running
CAPWAP or LWAPP.
The functionality provided by the controller does not change except for customers that have Layer 2
deployments, which CAPWAP does not support.
In an CAPWAP environment, a wireless access point discovers a controller by using CAPWAP
discovery mechanisms and then sends it an CAPWAP join request. The controller sends the access point
a CAPWAP join response allowing the access point to join the controller. When the access point joins
the controller, the controller manages its configuration, firmware, control transactions, and data
transactions.
Note For additional information about the discovery process and CAPWAP, see the Cisco Wireless
LAN Controller Software Configuration Guide. This document is available on cisco.com.
Note CAPWAP support is provided in controller software release 5.2 or greater.
Note Cisco controllers cannot edit or query any access point information using the CLI if the name
of the access point contains a space.
Note Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that
has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may
not be valid for that time.
Follow these steps to prepare the access point and connect it to the wireless network.

6 Troubleshooting
Guidelines for Using Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points
Keep these guidelines in mind when you use a 1140 series lightweight access point:
• The access point can only communicate with Cisco controllers, such as the 2106 series wireless
LAN controllers or 4400 series controllers.
• The access point does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with
WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access
point associates to it.
• CAPWAP does not support Layer 2. The access point must get an IP address and discover the
controller using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast.
• The access point console port is enabled for monitoring and debug purposes (all configuration
commands are disabled when connected to a controller).
Using DHCP Option 43
You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling
the access point to find and join a controller. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring
Option 43” section on page 22.
Checking the Lightweight Access Point LEDs
If your lightweight access point is not working properly, check the Status, Ethernet, and Radio LEDs.
You can use the LED indications to quickly assess the unit’s status. Figure 3 shows the location of the
access point LEDs.

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.
The 1140 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’s DHCP Vendor Class
Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60). The VCI string for the 1140 series access point is
TBD
The format of the TLV block is listed below:
• Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241)
• Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4
• Value: List of WLC management interfaces
To configure DHCP Option 43 for the 1140 series access point in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS CLI.
Step 2 Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name
server. A DHCP scope example is 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 AP1140
<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 using the following syntax:
option 60 ascii “
VCI string
”
For the
VCI string
, “TBD”. The quotation marks must be included.
Step 4 Add the option 43 line using the following syntax:

Type is always f1(hex). Length is the number of controller management IP addresses times 4

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
