Page 21 C H A P T E R Overview Cisco Aironet access points are wireless LAN transceivers that serve as the center point of a stand-alone wireless network or as the connection point between wireless and wired networks. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.

Page 120: Security Overview
Figure 4-1 shows possible levels of security on Cisco Aironet wireless networking equipment, from no security on the left to highest security on the right. The highest level of security, EAP authentication, interacts with a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server on your network to provide authentication service for wireless client devices.

Because WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the first line of defense against intruders, Cisco recommends that you use full encryption on your wireless network.

Page 212 Because each repeater must receive and then re-transmit each packet on the same channel, throughput is cut in half for each repeater you add to the chain. Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Software Configuration Guide OL-2159-03...
Page 213 LEAP on a repeater. Follow these steps to set up a repeater access point: Use the Quick Start Guide: Cisco 1200 Series Aironet Access Points and the Step 1 information in this manual to set up an access point as a root unit on the wired LAN.
Page 214 Connect power to the repeater access point. Consult the the Quick Start Guide: Step 5 Cisco 1200 Series Aironet Access Points for power options. If both radios are set up as repeaters, the access point will not be connected to the Note wired LAN.
Page 215: Using Hot Standby Mode
Except for the IP address, the standby access point’s settings should be identical to the settings on the monitored access point. You use the Hot Standby page to set up the standby access point. Figure 8-2 shows the Hot Standby page. Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Software Configuration Guide OL-2159-03...
