CH A P T E R
Overview
The Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point (hereafter called the access point or AP) is a
wireless outdoor access point which is designed for use in a variety of network configurations. The
access point supports wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and
point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity.
About the 1560 Access Point
The 1560 access point supports two radios (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) and provides client access using the
unlicensed RF Wi-Fi spectrum. The radios have 802.11ac Wave 2 capability.
The 5 GHz radios have 802.11ac Wave 2 capability. The 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio can be used for client
access or can be used for both client access and backhaul traffic. Depending on the model, the access
point can support up to 1.3 Gbps data rates. For more information, see Appendix D, “Access Point Data
Sheet”.
The access point is a standalone unit that can be wall, pole or tower mounted. 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 can be 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 Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, 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 Prime Infrastructure (PI) 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. The
access point can also be deployed in an autonomous mode and be configured via the CLI.

Overview
Network Deployment Examples
Network Deployment Examples
The access point is a wireless device designed for wireless client access and point-to-point bridging,
point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point
provides 5-GHz backhaul capability to link with another access point to reach a wired network
connection or to provide repeater operations for other access points.
The access point plays two primary radio roles: a root access point (hereafter called a RAP) or a mesh
(non-root) access point (hereafter called a MAP), which is the default role of all access points. When the
access point has a fiber or wired Ethernet connection to the controller (through a switch), the radio role
is called a RAP. In order to be considered a RAP, the access point must be configured as a RAP. A RAP
is a parent node to any bridging or mesh network. A controller can support one or more RAPs, each one
parenting the same or different wireless networks. There can be more than one RAP for the same mesh
network for redundancy. RAPs and MAPs can support wireless clients on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz band.
Client access on 5-GHz is called universal client access.
When the access point does not have a wired Ethernet connection to the controller (through a switch),
the radio role is called a MAP. The MAPs have a wireless connection (through the backhaul interface)
to other MAPs and finally to a RAP which has an Ethernet connection through a switch to the controller.
MAPs may also have a wired Ethernet connection to a local LAN and serve as a bridge endpoint for that
LAN (using a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge connection).
Wireless Backhaul
The access point supports wireless backhaul capability using the 5 GHz radio to bridge to another access
point to reach a wired network connection to a controller (see Figure 1-7). The access point connected
to the wired network is considered a RAP in this configuration. The remote access point is considered a
MAP and transfers wireless client traffic to the RAP for transfer to the wired network. Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) control traffic is also transferred over this bridged
link.

Point-to-Point Bridging
The access points can be used to extend a remote network by using the 5 GHz backhaul radio to bridge
the two network segments as shown in Figure 1-8. To support Ethernet bridging, you must enable
bridging on the controller for each access point. By default this capability is turned-off for all access
points.

The access points can also support point-to-point bridging under autonomous mode. In this autonomous
mode, the bridging can be done on the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio, but not both. In this mode, one access point
is designated as the root and the other end is designated as the non-root bridge.

must enable bridging on the controller for each access point. Wireless client access can be provided over
the bridging link; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-GHz wireless coverage area may
be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access. Figure 1-10 illustrates an example

Overview
Network Deployment Examples
Point-to-Multipoint Mesh Network
The access point is typically deployed in a mesh network configuration. In a typical mesh deployment,
one or more RAPs have a wired network connection through a switch to a controller. Other remote MAPs
without wired network connections use the backhaul feature to optimally link to a RAP that is connected
to the wired network. In the mesh network, the links between the access points are referred to as the
backhaul links.
Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the Adaptive Wireless Path protocol (AWPP). This enables
each MAP to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal path to the RAP with the wired
network connection by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number of
hops required to get to a controller with signal strength given priority since signal strength determines
the data rate available for backhaul.

Installing the Access Point
Safety Warnings
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting a power cord, you must remove power from the power cord using a
suitable service disconnect.
For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:
•
Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power
lines and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill.
•
Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come look at your proposed
installation.
•
Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or
tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and
should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue
instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
•
When installing the access point and antennas, remember:
– Do not use a metal ladder.
– Do not work on a wet or windy day.
– Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or
jacket.
•
Use a rope to lift the access point. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall.
•
If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to
remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.
If an accident should occur, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment
The radios on outdoor units (bridges) have higher transmit power levels than radios on indoor units
(access points). When you test high-power radios in a link, you must avoid exceeding the maximum
receive input level for the receiver. At levels above the normal operating range, packet error rate (PER)
performance is degraded. At even higher levels, the receiver can be permanently damaged. To avoid
receiver damage and PER degradation, you can use one of the following techniques:
•
Note
Separate the omnidirectional antennas by at least 2 ft (0.6 m) to avoid receiver damage or by at least
25 ft (7.6 m) to avoid PER degradation.
These distances assume free space path loss and are conservative estimates. Required separation
distances for damage and performance degradation levels in actual deployments are less if
conditions are not non-line-of-sight.
•
Reduce the configured transmit power to the minimum level.
•
Use directional antennas, and keep them away from each other.
•
Cable the radios together using a combination of attenuators, combiners, or splitters to achieve a total
attenuation of at least 60 dB.
For a radiated test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna
gain, attenuation, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr + tx gain + rx gain - [attenuation due to antenna spacing] < max rx input level
Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
2-6
Chapter 2
Installing the Access Point
Safety Warnings
Where:
txpwr = Radio transmit power level
tx gain = transmitter antenna gain
rx gain = receiver antenna gain
For a conducted test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power,
antenna gain, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr - [attenuation due to coaxial components] < max rx input level
Caution
Under no circumstances should you connect the antenna port from one access point to the antenna port
of another access point without using an RF attenuator. If you connect antenna ports, you must not
exceed the maximum survivable receive level of 0 dBm. Never exceed 0 dBm, or damage to the access
point can occur. Using attenuators, combiners, and splitters having a total of at least 60 dB of attenuation
ensures that the receiver is not damaged and that PER performance is not degraded.
Installation Guidelines
Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can
reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
Note
•
For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the Cisco
Wireless Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, Release 7.3.
•
Review the FCC guidelines for installing and operating outdoor wireless LAN devices at
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/3200-series-rugged-integrated-services-r
outers-isr/data_sheet_c78-647116.html.
•
Perform a site survey before beginning the installation.
•
Install the access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and
from the access point.
•
The access points can be installed at any height, but best throughput is achieved when all the access
points are mounted at the same height. We recommend installing the access points no higher than
40 feet to allow support for wireless clients on the ground.
•
The Console port is under a sealed plugs Inspect the seal of the plug at the time of installation. Every
time the plug is removed or replaced, properly tighten it. Tighten the plug to 15 lbf-in. If you do not
tighten the plug properly, it will not meet IP67 criteria, and may lead to water leaking into the unit.
•
If the DC power port, SFP port, or the PoE-In port is not in use, then the port’s covering plug must
be tightened to 12.5 lbf-in torque. Otherwise, it may lead to water leaking into the access point.
To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning
expert.
Site Surveys
Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple access points, you should
perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and to maximize range,
coverage, and network performance.
Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
2-7
Chapter 2
Installing the Access Point
Before Beginning the Installation
Site surveys reveals problems that can be resolved before the network is operational. Because
802.11a/b/g/n operates in an unlicensed spectrum, there may be sources of interference from other
802.11a wireless devices (especially in multi-tenant buildings) that could degrade your 802.11 signals.
A site survey can determine if such interference exists at the time of deployment.
A proper site survey involves temporarily setting up mesh links and taking measurements to determine
whether your antenna calculations are accurate. Determine the correct locations and antenna types
before you drill holes and route cables and mounting equipment.
Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:
•
Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio
range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the
radio data increases.
•
Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio
range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the
antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from
other unlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.
•
Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.
•
Obstructions—Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of
wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the
sending and receiving antennas.
•
How far is your wireless link?
•

clamp (the screw clamp can be used on a pole that is not more than 3 inches in diameter).
Step 3
Position the pole clamp bracket on the pole as needed before tightening the metal bands. Tighten the
metal bands only enough to hold the bracket base in place, from sliding along the pole. Fully tighten the
bands only after the access point is positioned.
Step 4
Match the holes in the bracket plate to the holes in the back of the access point.
Step 5
Screw an M8 x12 mm bolt into each of the four bolt holes (using a 10 mm box wrench or socket, torque
the bolts to 40 lbf-in) on the back side of the access point and mounting bracket. (See Figure 2-14)
Note
The access point should be positioned with the LEDs on the bottom to allow viewing from the ground.
Step 6
Mount the bracket with the AP, to the bracket on the pole. Use the long screw for this, as shown in the
exploded view – see Figure 2-14.
Step 7
Point the AP in the general desired position and tighten bolt, and then tighten the clamps on the pole.
The AP can be repositioned to its final position by loosening and re-tightening the bolts.

Installing AP Cover AIR-ACC1560-CVR=
You can install an AP cover AIR-ACC1560-CVR=, which also acts as a a solar shield. The cover can be
installed prior to or after all connections are made. However, if remote cabled antennas are to be
installed, the shield must be installed before the antenna cables are attached to the AP.
Step 1
This step applies only to AP1562D models.
The cover AIR-ACC1560-CVR= is factory fitted with an adapter for installing on AP models AP1562I
and AP1562E. You need to remove this adapter before installing the cover on AP1562D AP models. For
this:
a.
Slide a large flat blade screw driver into the opening shown in Figure 2-18.
b.
Pry up the adapter while pushing the screw driver further into it, until the adapter pop out.
c.
Discard the adapter.
Step 2
Position and slide the cover over the AP as shown in Figure 2-19.
Step 3
Align the two holes on each side of the cover with the screw holes on corresponding side of the AP.
Step 4
Insert and install #8-32 screws through the screw holes in the cover and into the AP. Tighten the screws
to 10 lb-in.

For installation instructions and detailed information on these antennas, refer to the appropriate
document located at:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/wireless/aironet-antennas-accessories/products-installation-guid
es-list.html
Follow all safety precautions when installing the antennas. For information on safety, refer to “Safety
Precautions when Installing Antennas” section on page 2-35.
Non-Cisco Antennas
Cisco does not support any third-party antennas. RF connectivity and compliance of third party antennas
is the customer’s responsibility. Cisco does not recommend any third-party antennas, and Cisco
Technical Assistance Center will not be able to provide any support for third-party antennas. Cisco’s
FCC Part 15 compliance is only guaranteed with Cisco antennas or antennas that are of the same design
and gain as Cisco antennas.
Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas
Warning
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care
not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper
installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70,
National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280
1.
Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting
method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install.
2.
Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric
power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
2-35
Chapter 2
Installing the Access Point
Installing Antennas
3.
Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your
proposed installation.
4.
Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an
installation should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One
person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
5.
When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
– Do not use a metal ladder.
– Do not work on a wet or windy day.
– Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved
shirt or jacket.
6.
If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable,
and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any
of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer.
7.
If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to
remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely.
8.
If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Antenna Configurations
Integrated Antenna Option
The AP1562I uses an Integrated Low Profile Dual-Band 2.4-5 GHz Dipole Antenna Array. The antenna
contains an array of three dual-band dipole antennas. The three dipole antennas are contained within this
single radome, thereby greatly reducing the antenna’s visual footprint, and greatly reducing the
possibility of snagging the antenna on the cable bundle, the RF cable, or test cables. Each of thee three
dipole antennas is a dual-band antenna, covering both the 2.4 - 2.483 GHz band and the 5.25-5.85 GHz
bands. The antenna have a peak gain of about 3 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi at 5 GHz. The antenna unit is
gray weatherproof radome for outdoor operations.
External Antenna Mounting Configurations
The selection of the antenna is determined in the configuration of the product. The 1562E antennas can
be mounted on a wall, pole and/or tower mounted. Please refer to the Ordering Guide for a list of

Installing a Lightning Arrestor
Overvoltage transients can be created through lightning static discharges, switch processes, direct
contact with power lines, or through earth currents. The Cisco Aironet AIR-ACC245LA-N Lightning
Arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the over
voltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components. A lightning arrestor installed
according to these mounting instructions balances the voltage potential, thus preventing inductive
interference to parallel signal lines within the protected system.
Installation Considerations
Cisco recommends that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor so it can be installed as a wall-feed
through on the wall of the protected space.
The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider
these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:
Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
2-46
Chapter 2
Installing the Access Point
Installing Antennas
•
Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the grounding point.
•
The contact points of the ground connection must be clean and free of dust and moisture.
•
Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
Installation Notes
This lightning arrestor is designed to be installed between the antenna cable that is attached to an outdoor
antenna and the Cisco Aironet wireless device. You can install the lightning arrestor either indoors or
outdoors. It can be connected directly to a wireless device having an external N connector. It can also be
mounted inline or as a feed-through. Feed-through installations require 5/8 in. (16 mm) hole to
accommodate the lightning arrestor.
Note
This lightning arrestor is part of a lightning arrestor kit. The kit contains a lightning arrestor and a
grounding lug.
Note
When you install the lightning arrestor, follow the regulations or best practices applicable to lightning
protection installation in your local area.
Installing the Lightning Arrestor Outdoors
If you install the lightning arrestor outdoors, use the supplied ground lug and a heavy wire (#6 solid
copper) to connect it to a good earth ground, such as a ground rod. The connection should be as short as
possible.

Grounding the Access Point
Cable for the Lightning Arrestor
Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be
kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the
run, the greater the loss).
Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor.
Grounding the Access Point
The access point must be grounded before connecting power.
Warning
This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available. Statement 366
Warning
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these
instructions to properly ground the case:
Step 1
If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the grounding lug.
Step 2
Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied
grounding lug.
Note
The grounding lug and hardware used must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Step 3
Open the anti-corrosion sealant (supplied), and apply a liberal amount over the metal surface where the
ground strap screw holes are located (see Figure 1-5).
Step 4
Connect the grounding lug to the access point grounding screw holes (see Figure 1-5) using the supplied
two Phillips head screws (M4 x10 mm) with lock washers. Tighten the grounding screw to
22 to 24 lb-in (2.49 to 2.71 Nm).
Step 5
If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground, such as a
grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a metal streetlight pole that is grounded (see
Figure 2-3).

Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001
The 1560 access point supports these power sources:
•
DC power – 42- 57 VDC
•
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
The 1560 access point can be powered via the PoE input from an in-line power injector or a suitably
powered switch port. Depending on the configuration and regulatory domain, the required power for full
operation is UPoE.
For the 1562I, UPoE powered switch port or a power injector is required for full operation of the 3x3
MIMO on the 2.4 GHz radio in the regulatory domains that allow for high 2.4 GHz transmit power
(Regulatory domains -A, -D, -F, -K, -N, -Q, -T, -Z). If the 1562I is powered by a PoE+ (802.3at power)
switch port then the access point will automatically disable one of the 2.4 GHz transmitters and the radio
will operate in 2x3 MIMO mode.

Chapter 2
Installing the Access Point
Connecting a Fiber-optic Cable to the AP
You can connect the fiber-optic networking cable to the SFP port (labeled '4' on the base of the AP). The
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module is used to connect the cable to the SFP port. The
SFP port provides both Power-over-Cable and backhaul over fiber options. To install the SFP transceiver
module and the cable, follow this procedure:
Step 1
Ensure that all power sources have been disconnected from the access point.
Step 2
Remove the covering plug from the SFP port by following the guidelines given in this step.
The SFP port covering plug is designed to be removed only once, and then be replaced with the SFP
adapter. The plug does not have a rubber O-ring, but is fixed in place using a sealant on the threads at
manufacturing. While removing the plug, you need to ensure that its hex bolt-head does not get stripped.
For this:
a.
Place the AP on it's back (resting on the heat fins) on a solid, but padded surface, to avoid scratching
the paint.
b.
Pressing down with your hand on the face of the AP and holding the AP firmly in place, proceed to
the next step.
c.
Use a 5/8” (16 mm) 6-point socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt-head SFP port plug. Firmly and
carefully, turn the socket wrench counter-clockwise to loosen the plug. This requires a torque of
25 ft-lb (34 Nm).
Though not ideal, a 5/8” (16 mm) 12-point socket wrench can be used too. A crescent wrench is to
be used only if the socket wrenches are not available. Do not use a pipe or monkey wrench for this
task, as it will strip the hex bolt-head.
Step 3
Insert the SFP module into the SFP port, and ensure that it latches properly.
Step 4
Loosen the cable gland’s nut (round end of the cable gland) by turning counterclockwise, but do not
remove.
Step 5
Thread the fiber optic cable, from its unterminated end, into the cable gland. See Figure 2-42 and
Figure 2-43.
Thread the cable through the gland all the way till the gland is near the SC or LC optic fiber connectors.
The cable gland’s nut must remain loose at this time.
Note
The SC or LC optic fiber connectors are too big to pass through the cable gland. That is the reason why
you need to thread the cable through the gland from the unterminated end (even if the cable is quite long).
Step 6
Insert the SC or LC optic fiber connector-end of the cable, into the SFP module adapter. Do not attach
the cable gland to the adapter yet. See Figure 2-44.
Step 7
Insert the SC or LC optic fiber connector into the SFP module and ensure that it latches into place. See
Figure 2-44.
Step 8
Add sealant or tape around the adapter's pipe thread, and then it screw into the AP chassis.
Step 9
Keeping the cable gland nut loose, carefully screw the threaded end of the cable gland into the SFP
module adapter and hand-tighten. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the threaded end of the cable
gland to 6-7 lb.ft (8.1 to 9.5 Nm).
Step 10
Tighten the cable gland nut until it is properly fastened around the fiber optic cable. Use an adjustable
or open-end wrench to tighten to 2.7 to 3.2 lb.ft (3.66 to 4.34 Nm).

What to Do Next
What to Do Next
When you power up a MAP that is not connected to a wired Ethernet, fiber-optic, or cable network to
the controller, the access point uses the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) to bind to
another mesh access point (MAP) with the best path to a root access point (RAP) connected to the wired
network to a controller. The access point sends a discovery request when powered up. If you have
configured the access point in the controller correctly, the controller sends back a discovery response to
the access point. When that happens, the access point sends out a join request to the controller, and the
controller responds with a join confirmation response. Then the access point establishes a Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) connection to the controller and gets the shared
secret configured on the controller.
Refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for more information on configuring,
monitoring, and operating your access points.

Guidelines for Using the Access Points
Guidelines for Using the Access Points
You should keep these guidelines in mind when you use the access points:
•
The access point only supports Layer 3 CAPWAP communications with the controllers.
In Layer 3 operation, the access point and the controller can be on the same or different subnets. The
access point communicates with the controller using standard IP packets. A Layer 3 access point on
a different subnet than the controller requires a DHCP server on the access point subnet and a route
to the controller. The route to the controller must have destination UDP ports 12222 and 12223 open
for CAPWAP communications. The route to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers must
allow IP packet fragments.
•
Before deploying your access points, ensure that the following has been done:
– Your controllers are connected to switch ports that are configured as trunk ports.
– Your access points are connected to switch ports that are configured as untagged access ports.
– A DHCP server is reachable by your access points and has been configured with Option 43.
Option 43 provides the IP addresses of the management interfaces of your controllers. Typically,
a DHCP server can be configured on a Cisco switch.
– Optionally, a DNS server can be configured to enable CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER. Use
local domain to resolve to the IP address of the management interface of your controller.
– Your controllers are configured and reachable by the access points.
– Your controllers are configured with the access point MAC addresses and the MAC filter list is
enabled.
– Your switch must forward DHCP requests.
•
After the access points are associated to the controller, you should change the bridge group name
(BGN) from the default value. With the default BGN, the mesh access points (MAPs) can potentially
try to connect with other mesh networks and slow down the convergence of the network.
Important Notes
Convergence Delays
During deployment, the access points can experience convergence delays due to various causes. The
following list identifies some operating conditions that can cause convergence delays:
•
A root access point (RAP) attempts to connect to a controller using any of the wired ports (cable,
fiber-optic, PoE-in). If the wired ports are operational, the RAP can potentially spend several
minutes on each port prior to connecting to a controller.
•
If a RAP is unable to connect to a controller over the wired ports, it attempts to connect using the
wireless network. This results in additional delays when multiple potential wireless paths are
available.
•
If a MAP is unable to connect to a RAP using a wireless connection, it then attempts to connect using
any available wired port. The access point can potentially spend several minutes for each connection
method, before attempting the wireless network again.

Chapter 3
Troubleshooting
Controller MAC Filter List
Bridge Loop
The access point supports packet bridging between wired and wireless network connections. The same
network must never be connected to multiple wired ports on an access point or on two bridged access
points. A bridge loop causes network routing problems.
Controller DHCP Server
The controller DHCP server only assigns IP addresses to lightweight access points and wireless clients
associated to an access point. It does not assign an IP address to other devices, including Ethernet
bridging clients on the mesh access points.
MAP Data Traffic
If the signal on the access point backhaul channel has a high signal-to-noise ratio, it is possible for a
MAP to connect to the controller, via parent node, but not be able to pass data traffic, such as pinging
the access point. This can occur because the default data rate for backhaul control packets is set to 6
Mb/s, and the backhaul data rate set to auto by the user.
Controller MAC Filter List
Before activating your access point, you must ensure that the access point MAC address has been added
to the controller MAC filter list and that Mac Filter List is enabled.
Note
The access point MAC address and barcode is located on the bottom of the unit. When two MAC
addresses are shown, use the top MAC address.
To view the MAC addresses added to the controller MAC filter list, you can use the controller CLI or the
controller GUI:
•
Controller CLI—Use the show macfilter summary controller CLI command to view the MAC
addresses added to the controller filter list.
•
Controller GUI—Log into your controller web interface using a web browser, and choose
SECURITY > AAA > MAC Filtering to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list.
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. Refer to the product documentation for your DHCP server
for instructions on configuring DHCP Option 43. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring
DHCP Option 43” section on page F-1.

Changing the Bridge Group Name
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 name appears in the AP
Name list.
Step 3
Click on an access point name.
Step 4
Find the Mesh Information section, and enter the new BGN in the Bridge Group Name field.
