8Cisco Confidential -- Review Draft7 Configuring the Access PointThis section describes how to connect the access point to a wireless LAN controller. Because the configuration process takes place on the controller, see the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for additional information. This guide is available on Cisco.com.The Controller Discovery ProcessThe access point uses 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. LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP, and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. Deployments can combine CAPWAP and LWAPP software on the controllers. The functionality provided by the controller does not change except for customers who have Layer 2 deployments, which CAPWAP does not support.In a CAPWAP environment, a wireless access point discovers a controller by using CAPWAP discovery mechanisms and then sends it a 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 later. However, your controller must be running release 7.x.x.x or later to support 700 series access points.1Reset button 5AC power connector2USB port 6Mounting bracket pins (feet for desk or table-top mount)3Gbit Ethernet port 7Security hasp4Console port
9Cisco Confidential -- Review DraftNote You cannot edit or query any access point using the controller 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.Access points must discovered a controller before they can become an active part of the network. The access point supports these controller discovery processes:•Layer 3 CAPWAP discovery—The access point performs a local broadcast (255.255.255.255) discovery request to find any contollers on the same subnet/vlan. The request can be forwarded to other networks by the IP helper featuer that is present on switches and router.•Locally stored controller IP address discovery—If the access point was previously joined to a controller, the IP addresses of the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers are stored in the access point’s non-volatile memory. This process of storing controller IP addresses on an access point for later deployment is called priming the access point. For more information about priming, see the “Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration” section on page 10.•DHCP server discovery—This feature uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP addresses to the access points. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option that is typically used for this capability. For more information about DHCP option 43, see the “Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60” section on page 32.•DNS discovery—The access point can discover controllers through your domain name server (DNS). For the access point to do so, you must configure your DNS to return controller IP addresses in response to CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain, where localdomain is the access point domain name. Configuring the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER provides backwards compatibility in an existing customer deployment. When an access point receives an IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server, it contacts the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When the DNS sends a list of controller IP addresses, the access point sends discovery requests to the controllers.Preparing the Access PointBefore you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point.You should have the following information about your wireless network available:•Access point locations.
10Cisco Confidential -- Review Draft•Access point mounting options: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a desktop.Note You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase additional mounting hardware: See “Mounting the Access Point” section on page 13 for additional information.•Access point power options: power supplied by the recommended external power supply (Cisco AIR-PWR-B), a DC power supply, PoE from a network device, or a PoE power injector/hub (usually located in a wiring closet).Note Access points mounted in a building’s environmental airspace must be powered using PoE to comply with safety regulations.Cisco recommends that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless network.Installation SummaryInstalling the access point involves these operations:•Performing a pre-installation configuration (optional)•Mounting the access point•Grounding the access point•Deploying the access point on the wireless networkPerforming a Pre-Installation ConfigurationThe following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as expected. A pre-installation configuration is also known as priming the access point. This procedure is optional.Note Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure. If your network controller is properly configured, you can install your access point in its final location and connect it to the network from there. See the “Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network” section on page 13 for details.
11Cisco Confidential -- Review DraftPre-Installation Configuration SetupThe pre-installation configuration setup is shown in Figure 3.Figure 3 Pre-Installation Configuration Setup To perform pre-installation configuration, perform the following steps:Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide.a. Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco wireless LAN controller Management.b. Configure the switch to which your access point is attach to. See the Cisco Unified Wireless Network WLAN Controller Guide: Cisco 5500 Series WLAN Controllers for additional information.c. Set the Cisco wireless LAN controller as the master so that new access points always join with it.ControllerLayer 3devicesCisco Aironetaccess points272488
12Cisco Confidential -- Review Draftd. Make sure DHCP is enabled on the network. The access point must receive its IP address through DHCP.e. CAPWAP UDP ports ( ports 5246 and 5247) must not be blocked in the network.f. The access point must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, refer to the product documentation. See also the “Using DHCP Option 43” section on page 14 for more information.Step 2 Apply power to the access point:a. The access point is 802.3af (15.4 W) compliant and can be powered by any 802.3af compliant device.Note The 700 series access point requires a Gigibit Ethernet link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic because wireless traffic speeds exceed transmit speeds of a 10/100 Ethernet port.b. As the access point attempts to connect to the controller, the LEDs cycle through a green, red, and amber sequence, which can take up to 5 minutes.Note If the access point remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the access point is unable to find the Master Cisco wireless LAN controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller and be sure that they are on the same subnet. c. If the access point shuts down, check the power source.d. After the access point finds the Cisco wireless LAN controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code if the access point code version differs from the Cisco wireless LAN controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks amber.e. If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots.Step 3 Configure the access point if required. Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure to customize the access-point-specific 802.11n network settings.Step 4 If the pre-installation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green indicating normal operation. Disconnect the access point and mount it at the location at which you intend to deploy it on the wireless network.Step 5 If your access point does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the pre-installation configuration.
13Cisco Confidential -- Review DraftNote When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the Cisco wireless LAN controller, be sure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you will be installing the access point, and that the subnet has a route back to the Cisco wireless LAN controller. Also be sure that the route back to the Cisco wireless LAN controller has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications. Ensure that the route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary wireless LAN controller allows IP packet fragments. Finally, be sure that if address translation is used, that the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address.8 Mounting the Access PointCisco Aironet 700 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling. Click this URL to browse to complete access point mounting instructions:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html9 Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless NetworkAfter you have mounted the access point, follow these steps to deploy it on the wireless network:Step 1 Connect and power up the access point.Step 2 Observe the access point LED (for LED descriptions, see “Checking the Access Point LED” section on page 15).a. When you power up the access point, it begins a power-up sequence that you can verify by observing the access point LED. If the power-up sequence is successful, the discovery and join process begins. During this process, the LED blinks sequentially green, red, and amber. When the access point has joined a controller, the LED chirps green if no clients are associated or stays green if one or more clients are associated.b. If the LED is not on, the access point is most likely not receiving power.c. If the LED blinks sequentially for more than 5 minutes, the access point is unable to find its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco wireless LAN controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller, and be sure the access point
14Cisco Confidential -- Review Draftand the Cisco wireless LAN controller are either on the same subnet or that the access point has a route back to its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco wireless LAN controller. Also, if the access point is not on the same subnet as the Cisco wireless LAN controller, be sure that there is a properly configured DHCP server on the same subnet as the access point. See the “Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60” section on page 32 for additional information.Step 3 Reconfigure the Cisco wireless LAN controller so that it is not the Master. Note A Master Cisco wireless LAN controller should be used only for configuring access points and not in a working network. 10 TroubleshootingIf you experience difficulty getting your access point installed and running, look for a solution to your problem in this guide or in additional access point documentation. These, and other documents, are available on Cisco.com.Guidelines for Using Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access PointsKeep these guidelines in mind when you use 700 series lightweight access points:•The access point can only communicate with Cisco wireless LAN controllers, such as 2500 series, 5500 series, 7500 series, 8500 series, and WiSM2 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 joins it.•CAPWAP does not support Layer 2. The access point must get an IP address and discover the controller using Layer 3, DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast.•The access point console port is enabled for monitoring and debug purposes. All configuration commands are disabled when the access point is connected to a controller. Using DHCP Option 43You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling them to find and join a controller. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60” section on page 32.
15Cisco Confidential -- Review DraftChecking the Access Point LEDThe location of the access point status LED is shown in Figure 1.Note Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturer’s specifications and is not a defect.The access point status LED indicates various conditions and are described in Table 1.Table 1 LED Status IndicationsMessage TypeStatus LEDMessageMeaningBoot loader status sequenceBlinking green DRAM memory test in progressDRAM memory test OKBoard initialization in progressInitializing FLASH file systemFLASH memory test OKInitializing EthernetEthernet OKStarting Cisco IOSInitialization successfulAssociation status Chirping Green Normal operating condition, but no wireless client associatedGreen Normal operating condition, at least one wireless client associationOperating status Blinking amber Software upgrade in progressCycling through green, red, and amberDiscovery/join process in progressRapidly cycling through red, green, and amberAccess point location command invokedBlinking red Ethernet link not operational
16Cisco Confidential -- Review DraftTroubleshooting the Access Point Join ProcessAccess points can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a RADIUS authorization is pending; self-signed certificates are not enabled on the controller; the access point’s and controller’s regulatory domains don’t match, and so on. Controller software enables you to configure the access points to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. You do not need to enable any debug commands on the controller because all of the CAPWAP error messages can be viewed from the syslog server itself.The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller until it receives a CAPWAP join request from the access point. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine why the CAPWAP discovery request from a certain access point was rejected. In order to troubleshoot such joining problems Boot loader warnings Blinking amber Configuration recovery in progress (MODE button pushed for 2 to 3 seconds)Red Ethernet failure or image recovery (MODE button pushed for 20 to 30 seconds)Blinking green Image recovery in progress (MODE button released)Boot loader errors Red DRAM memory test failureBlinking red and amber FLASH file system failureBlinking red and off Environment variable failureBad MAC addressEthernet failure during image recoveryBoot environment failureNo Cisco image fileBoot failureCisco IOS errors Red Software failure; try disconnecting and reconnecting unit powerCycling through red, green, amber, and offGeneral warning; insufficient inline powerTable 1 LED Status Indications (continued)Message TypeStatus LEDMessageMeaning
17Cisco Confidential -- Review Draftwithout enabling CAPWAP debug commands on the controller, the controller collects information for all access points that send a discovery message to it and maintains information for any access points that have successfully joined it.The controller collects all join-related information for each access point that sends a CAPWAP discovery request to the controller. Collection begins with the first discovery message received from the access point and ends with the last configuration payload sent from the controller to the access point.You can view join-related information for the following numbers of access points:•Up to 50 access points for 2500 series controllers.•Up to 500 access points for 5500 series controllers.•Up to 1000 access points for Cisco WISM2.•Up to three times the maximum number of access points supported by the platform for the Controller Network Module within the Cisco 28/37/38xx Series Integrated Services RoutersWhen the controller is maintaining join-related information for the maximum number of access points, it does not collect information for any more access points.An access point sends all syslog messages to IP address 255.255.255.255 by default when any of the following conditions are met:•An access point running software release 5.2 or later has been newly deployed.•An existing access point running software release 5.2 or later has been reset after clearing the configuration.If any of these conditions are met and the access point has not yet joined a controller, you can also configure a DHCP server to return a syslog server IP address to the access point using option 7 on the server. The access point then starts sending all syslog messages to this IP address. When the access point joins a controller for the first time, the controller sends the global syslog server IP address (the default is 255.255.255.255) to the access point. After that, the access point sends all syslog messages to this IP address until it is overridden by one of the following scenarios:•The access point is still connected to the same controller, and the global syslog server IP address configuration on the controller has been changed using the config ap syslog host global syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new global syslog server IP address to the access point.•The access point is still connected to the same controller, and a specific syslog server IP address has been configured for the access point on the controller using the config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new specific syslog server IP address to the access point.•The access point is disconnected from the controller and joins another controller. In this case, the new controller sends its global syslog server IP address to the access point.
18Cisco Confidential -- Review Draft•Whenever a new syslog server IP address overrides the existing syslog server IP address, the old address is erased from persistent storage, and the new address is stored in its place. The access point also starts sending all syslog messages to the new IP address provided the access point can reach the syslog server IP address.You can configure the syslog server for access points and view the access point join information only from the controller CLI.A detailed explanation of the join process is on Cisco.com at the following URL:http://www.Cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a00808f8599.shtml11 Declarations of Conformity and Regulatory InformationThis section provides declarations of conformity and regulatory information for Cisco Aironet 700 Series Access Points.

For other DHCP server implementations, consult 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.The 700 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 700 series access point is:Cisco AP c700Note If your access point was ordered with the Service Provider Option (AIR-OPT60-DHCP) selected in the ordering tool, the VCI string for the access point contains ServiceProvider. For example, a 700 with this option will return this VCI string: Cisco AP c700-ServiceProviderThe 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 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>
33Cisco Confidential -- Review Draftdns-server <DNS Server> Where:<pool name> is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP702<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 10.0.10.2Step 3 Add the option 60 line using the following syntax: option 60 ascii “VCI string” For the VCI string, “Cisco AP c702”. 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 option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02.13 Access Point SpecificationsTable 2 lists the technical specifications for 700 series access points.Table 2 Access Point Specifications Category SpecificationDimensions (LxWxD) 8.68 x 8.68 x 1.84 in.
