CHA PTER

Overview

The Cisco Aironet 1000 Ser ies Light weight A ccess Points (h ereaft er call ed access points) combine mobility and flexib ility w ith the ent erp ri se-c lass feat ur es requ ire d by n etwor king pr ofession al s. T he se access points are part of the Cisco Integrated Wireless Network Solution and require no manual configuration before they are mounted. The access point is automatically configured by a Cisco Wireless LAN Controlle r (h erea ft er ca ll ed a controller) using the Light we ig h t Acc e s s P o in t P ro t oco l (LWA PP ).

The access po int c onta ins t wo i ntegra ted radi o s: a 2.4- GHz r adi o (IE EE 8 02.11g ) and a 5 -G Hz radi o (IEEE 802.11a). Us ing a cont roller, you can configure the radios sep arate ly with di fferent setti ngs on each.

In the Cisco Centralized Wireless LAN Architecture, access points operate in the lightweight mode (as opposed to autonomous mod e). The ac cess poin ts associ ate to a contro ller. The controller ma nages the configuration, f irmw are, and control tr ansactions such as 8 02.1x authentic ation. In ad dition, all wire less traffic is tunneled through the controller.

LWAPP is an Inte rne t En gine eri ng Task Force (IETF) draft protocol th at define s the cont r ol me ssagin g for setup and path authentication and run-time operations. LWAPP also defines the tunneling mechanism for data traffic.

In an LWAPP environment, a lightweight access point discovers a controller by using LWAPP discovery mechanisms and then sends it an LWAPP join request. The controller sends the access point an LWAPP join response allo win g th e a cc ess po int to j oin the c ontr oller. When the access point is associated with a controller, it downloads new operating system software if the versions on the access point and controller do not match. After an access point is associated to a controller, you are able to reassign it to any controller on your network.

L WAPP secures the contro l communicat ion between th e access p oint and contr oller by means of a secure key distribution, utilizing X.509 certificates on both the access point and controller.

Guidelines for Using the Access Points

You shou ld keep the se guideli nes in mind when you use t he access poi nts:

• The access points can only communicate with controllers and can not operate independently.

• The access points communicate only with co ntrollers a nd do not support Wireless Domain Services

(WDS). The access points cann ot communicat e with WDS de vices. Ho wev er , the contr oller prov ides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access point associates to it.

• The access poin ts su ppor t L ay er 2 or Lay er 3 LWAPP comm un icatio ns w ith t he contro l lers . In

Layer 2 operation, the acce ss poi nt and the contr oller mu st be on the sam e subn et and co mmun icate with each other using MAC addresses in encaps ulated Eth ernet fr ames . This opera tion is not scalable to larger networks and not reco mmen ded by Cisco.

In Layer 3 operation, the access point an d the controlle r can be on the same or di fferen t subnets. The access point communicates with the controller using standard IP packets. Layer 3 operation is scalable and is recommende d by Cisco. A Layer 3 ac cess 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 destinati on UDP ports 12222 and 12223 open for LWAPP communications. The route to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers must allow IP packet fragments.

• Before deploying your access poi nts ensure t he following has been done :

Chapter 1 Overview

–

Your c ontro llers a re c onn ect ed t o swi tch port s tha t a re co nfigured as tru nk port s.

–

Your access points are connected to switch ports that are configured as untagged access ports

–

A DHCP server is re ac habl e by yo ur acc ess poin ts a nd has b ee n co nfigur ed w ith Opt ion 43 . Option 43 is used to provide the IP addresses of the Management Interfaces of your controllers. Typically, a DHCP server can be configured on a Ci sco sw itch.

–

Optionally a DNS server can be configured to enable “CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER.<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.

Network Configuration Example

The access poin ts su ppor t L ay er 2 or Lay er 3 ne twor k o pera tio n. In L ayer 2 configur ation s, t he a cce ss point and the controller are on the same subnet and communicate with encapsulated Ethernet frames using MAC addresses rather than IP addresses. Layer 2 configurations are typically not scalable into larger networks. Additionally, Layer 2 operation is supporte d only by the Cisco 440 0 se ries cont rol ler s.

Access points and controller s in Layer 3 configurat ions use IP add resses and UDP packet s, which ca n be routed through l arge netwo rks. L aye r 3 o pera tio n is sca lab le an d re comm end ed by Cisc o.

Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Deploying the Access Points on the Wireless Network

• DHCP server discovery—Uses DHCP Option 43 to provide controller IP addresses to the access

points. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option. For additional information, refer to the

“Configuring DHCP Option 43” sec tion on page F-1.

• DNS server discovery—The access poi nt uses the name CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER.<local

domain> to discover the cont rolle r IP addr esses from a DN S server. Where <lo cal domain> is the

access point doma in n am e.

Cisco recommends that you co nfigure a DHC P server with Opti on 43 to provide the control ler IP addresses to your access points. Cisco switches provide a DHCP server option that is typically used for this purpose.

Deploying the Access Points on the Wireless Network

Prior to beginning t he a ct ual acc ess poi nt de ployme nt, p erfor m thes e tasks :

• Ensure a site survey has been preformed.

• Ensure your network infr astruc ture devices are oper ation al and pro perl y configured.

• Ensure your con troll ers a r e co nne cte d t o swi tc h tr unk po rts.

• Ensure your switc h is co nfigur ed w ith u ntag ged a cce ss ports fo r conne c ting y our a ccess p oi nts.

• Ensure a DHCP server with Opti on 43 configured is reacha ble by your acces s points .

• Review the “Mounting Overview” section on page 2-8.

To deploy your access points, follow these steps:

Step 1 Obtain the access point location map created during your building site survey. Step 2 Review the access point locations and identify the specific mounting methods required for each access

point location.

Step 3 For each access point perform these steps:

a. Record the access point MAC address on the access point location map (see the “Returning MAC

Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Connecting to an Ethernet Network with Local Power

Note If your access point is connected to in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access point.

Follow these steps to connect the access point to an Ethernet LAN when you are using a local power source:

Step 1 Connect a Category 5 Etherne t cable t o the RJ-45 Ethe rnet connec tor label ed Ethernet on the access

point (see Figure 2-13).

Step 2 Plug the other end of the Et hernet cab le into an no n-powered Eth ernet port on your 10/100 Etherne t

LAN.

Step 3 Connect the power module output connector to the access point’s 48-VDC power port (see Figure 2-13). Step 4 Plug the power mo dule power co rd i nto a n app roved 100 - to 24 0-VAC outlet.

Powering Up the Access Point

After you power up the access point, it begins a power-up sequence that you can check by observing the access point LED s. Th e re d Alar m LE D t urn s on f or a bout 15 to 20 secon ds an d the n a ll LE D s b link sequentially back a nd fo rt h, i nd ica tin g th at th e a cces s po i nt i s trying t o find a co nt roll er. Refer to

“Checking the Acc ess Poi n t LE Ds” se ction on p age 3-3 for LED desc ript ion s.

After the access point finds the cont rolle r, the access point down load s new operating system code if the access point code vers ion differs fr om the con trol ler cod e version. Dur ing th e downloa d p roce ss, all access point LEDs blink simultaneously. When the operating system download is succe ssful, the access point reboots.

Normal operation is ind icated when th e Alarm LED is of f, th e Po wer LED is gree n, and the 2. 4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs are blinking to indicate radio activity.

If no LEDs are on, the acc ess point might not be re ceiving sufficient power. If all the LEDs blink sequentially for more than five minutes, the access point is unable to find its

primary, secondary, or tertiary controllers. Check the connect ion betwe en the acce ss point and its controllers and ensur e they are on the s ame subnet or that the access poin t has a route back to its pr imary, secondary, and tertiary controllers. If the access point is not on the same subnet as the controllers, ensure there is a properly con figured DHCP ser ver on the same s ubnet as the acce ss point. See the “Using DHCP

Option 43” section on page 3- 2 for DH CP i nfor ma tio n.

Note To allow client roaming between access points, the access points must be on the same subnet.

OL-9403-04

Note Connect only one power source to the acce ss point, fo r example: Whe n using in-li ne power, do not

connect the power module to the access point.

Guidelines for Using the Access Points

You shou ld keep the se guideli nes in mind when you use t he access poi nts:

• The access points can only communicate with controllers and cannot operate independently.

• The access poin ts do n ot suppor t Wireless Dom ain Servic es (W DS) . Th e acc ess po ints can not

communicate with WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access point associates to it.

• The access poin ts su ppor t L ay er 2 or Lay er 3 LWAPP comm un icatio ns w ith t he contro l lers . In

In Layer 3 operation, the ac cess point a nd the contro ller can be on the same or different subnets. Layer 3 operati on i s scal abl e a nd is r ecom men ded by Cisc o. A L ayer 3 acce ss p oint on a different subnet than the co ntroll er re quire s a D HCP server on the acce ss p oint s ubnet and a rout e t o t he controller. The route to the controlle r must have destinatio n UDP ports 12 222 and 12223 op en for LWAP P comm unicat ion s. The rou te to the prim ary, secondary, and tertiary contro llers must allow IP packet fragments .

• Before deploying your access poin ts ensure tha t the following has been done :

Low Power Condition

Warning

This product must be connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source.

Statement 353

The access point can be powered from the 48-VDC power module or from an in-line power source. The access point suppor ts t he I EEE 80 2.3 af p ower standa rd for in-line power sources.

For operation, the ac cess poi nt (p owered device) r eq uire s 1 2 W o f in put power.

Note When the access p oint i s bei ng use d in a Po E co nfigurat ion, the power d rawn f rom t he power sourc ing

equipment (PSE), such as a switch or power injector, is higher by an amount dependent on the length of the interconnecting cable.

The power module (AIR-PWR-10 00=) and t he Cisco Air onet power injector (AIR-PW RINJ-100 0af=) are capable of supplying the required operating power, but some inline power sources are not capable of supplying sufficient power. Also, some high-power inline power sources, might not be able to provide sufficient power to all ports at the same time.

Note An 802.3af compliant switch (Cisco or non-Cisco) is capable of supplying sufficient power for full

operation.

Note If your access point is connected to in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access point.

On power up, the access point is placed into low power mode (both radios are deactivated), the access point power negotiation determines if sufficient power is available. If there is sufficient power then the access point begins to power up (Alarm LED is red and other LEDs are off); otherwise, the access point turns off all LEDs and remains in low power mode to prevent a possible over-current condition.

Appendix E Priming Access Points Prior to Deployment

Before deploying your access poi nts to their final locations, fol low these steps to prime your access points:

Step 1 In a Layer 2 environme nt, wh er e t he a cce ss p oi nts a re loc at ed on the same s ubne t a s th e co ntrol le r, the

access point communicates directly with the controller.

Step 2 In a Layer 3 environment, ensure a DHCP server (typically on your switch) is enabled on the same subnet

as your access points. Th e acc ess points will re ceive its IP address and contro ller info rmati on using DHCP Option 43.

The access po int m ust be ab le to find the IP addr ess of the con t rolle r. This can be acc omp lis hed using DHCP, DNS, OTAP, or IP subnet broadcast. This gui de descri bes the DHCP me thod to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, refer to the product documentation. See also the “Using DHCP

Option 43” section on page 3- 2 for m ore i n forma tio n.

Note For a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the controller, ensure ensure the route to

the controller has destin ati on UDP port s 1 2222 a nd 1 2223 o pe n for LWAPP comm unicati on s. Ensure the routes to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers allow IP packet fragments.

Step 3 Ensure that your con troll er is conne cted to a sw itch trun k port. Step 4 Configure the controller in LWAPP La yer 3 mode and en sure that its DS Po rt is con nected to th e switch.

Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate controller guide.

a. In multi-controller environments, You can set one controller’s DS port to Master (you can use t he

config network master-base disable CLI c omm and or yo u ca n u se the cont rol ler GU I) so that new access points always associate with it. You can use the show network config CLI command to determine if the controller DS port is the master.

All access points associate to the master controller. From one location, you can configure access point settings such a s p rima ry, secondary, and tertiary controll ers. Thi s a llows you to r ed istribute your access points to other co ntrollers on t he network.

You can also use a Cisco WCS server to control, configure, and redistribute all your access points from a single lo cat ion.

Step 5 Apply power to the access points:

a. Connect your access points t o untagge d access por ts on your POE capa ble switc h. You can

optionally use power modules (AIR-PWR- 1000=) or power inject ors (AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF=) to power your access points.

b. After you power up the access point, it begins a power-up sequence that you can check by observing

the access point LEDs. The red Alarm LED turns on for about 15 to 20 seconds and then all LEDs blink sequentially back an forth, indic ating tha t the access poi nt is trying t o find a controller.

E-2

Note If the access point remains in this mode for more than 5 minutes, the access point is unable to

find the master co ntro ller. Check the connection be tween the access poi nt a nd t he con troll er and ensure they are on the same subnet.

c. If the access point shuts down (all LEDs off), che ck to ensure th at sufficient power is available. d. When the access point associates with the controller, if the access point code version differs from

the controller code ver sion, the ac cess point downloads t he op er ating sy stem code f rom th e controller. All the access point LEDs bli nk simulta neously du ring the download.

Cisco Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

OL-9403-04

Appendix E Priming Access Points Prior to Deployment

Step 6 If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots. Normal operation is indicated

when the Alarm LED is off, the Power LED is green, and the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs are blinking to indicate radio activity.

Note If the Alarm LED re mains red for more than a mi nute, remove power from the access point and

contact Cisco Technical Support for assistance.

Step 7 Use the contr ol ler CL I, cont rol ler GUI, or C isco WCS t o configure th e acc ess po in t wi th p rima ry,

secondary, and tertiary controller nam es.

Step 8 If the access point is in a Controller Mobility Group, use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco

WCS to configure the Controller Mobility Group name.

Step 9 Use controller CL I, contro ller GU I, or Cisco WCS to con figure the acce ss point- specific 802.1 1a,

802.11b, and 802.11g net work settings.

Step 10 If the configuration priming was successful, the Power LED is green, the Alarm LED is off, and the radio

LEDs are blin king to in dica te no rmal opera ti on.

Step 11 Repeat Steps 4 to 9 for each access point.

When you successfully complete the configuration priming of all your access points, ensure the Master setting is disable d on yo ur co ntro ller. You can begin deploying the ac cess p oint s to t hei r final destinations (refer to the “Deploying the Access Poin ts on the Wireless Network” se ctio n on page 2-7).

The hex string is assembled by concat enat ing 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 = 0 8 ( he x ) . 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:
