This guide provides mounting instructions and limited troubleshooting procedures.
- Page 4 Local—This is the default mode for the Cisco AP. In this mode, the AP serves clients. In local mode, the AP creates two CAPWAP tunnels to the Cisco WLC, one for management and the other for data traffic. This is known as central switching because the data traffic is switched (bridged) from the AP to the controller where it is then routed.
- Page 5 You need to verify whether the AP model you have is approved for use in your country. To verify approval and to identify the regulatory domain that corresponds to a particular country, visit http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/compliance. Not all regulatory domains have been approved. As and when they are approved, this compliance list will be updated.

Page 10: Step 1
To perform pre-installation configuration, perform the following steps: Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the procedures for CLI or web-browser interface as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless controller guide. -

Cisco Catalyst 9117AX Series Access Points d. Make sure DHCP is enabled on the network. The access point must receive its IP address through DHCP. An 802.11ax Cisco AP will be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server only if a default router Note (gateway) is configured on the DHCP server (enabling the AP to receive its gateway IP address) and the gateway ARP is resolved. - Page 12 If AIR-PWRINJ5= is used, the AP will work with reduced features. Note 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.

Page 13: Mounting The Access Point
Cisco Catalyst 9117AX Series Access Points Mounting the Access Point Cisco Catalyst 9117AX series access points can be mounted in several configurations – on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling. -
Page 14: Powering The Access Point
The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with previous Cisco Catalyst access points. LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP, and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. - Page 15 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”...
- Page 16 Cisco wireless controller. Also, if the access point is not on the same subnet as the Cisco wireless controller, be sure that there is a properly configured DHCP server on the same subnet as the access point.
- Page 17 Cisco Catalyst 9117AX Series Access Points Checking the Access Point LEDs The location of the access point status LED is shown in Figure Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue from Note unit to unit.
- Page 18 If you keep the mode button pressed for more than 60 seconds, the mode button is assumed faulty and no changes are made. Troubleshooting the Access Point to Cisco Controller Join Process Ensure that your controller is running the latest Cisco Wireless Controller Software Release as specified in Note the access point data sheet.
- Page 19 Cisco Catalyst 9117AX Series Access Points Note The maximum number of access points varies for the Cisco WiSM2, depending on which controller software release is being used. When the controller is maintaining join-related information for the maximum number of access points, it does not collect information for any more access points.
- Page 20 You 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. The following is a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for use with Cisco Catalyst lightweight access points. For other DHCP server implementations, consult product documentation for configuring DHCP Option 43.

The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as the High-Efficiency-Wireless (HEW), builds off of the 802.11ac and delivers a better experience in typical environments, and a more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density high-definition collaboration applications, all-wireless offices and Internet-of-Things (IoT).
