Cisco On-Premises Deployment

You can associate the CW9163E AP to a Cisco On-premises deployed network.

Initializing an Access Point

Perform the following procedure for an out-of-the-box (OOB) AP. This procedure prepares the AP to associate
with a network.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect the power supply and power up the AP.
The switch port connected to the access point can be a trunk or access port.
Note
Step 2
(Optional) Configure the switch port to trunk the VLANs when multiple VLANs are used for client traffic in
FlexConnect deployment. Use the access mode in Local Mode/Centralized deployments.
Step 3
Configure the VLAN as a native VLAN.
When the management traffic is untagged, the VLAN is used for management.
Example: Configuring the port on a switch
