- Page 13 To perform pre-installation configuration, perform the following steps: Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide.
- Page 14 Note A 802.11ax Cisco AP will be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server only if a default router (gateway) is configured on the DHCP server (enabling the AP to receive its gateway IP address) and the gateway ARP is resolved.
- Page 15 Cisco Catalyst 9115AX Series Access Points Mounting the Access Point Cisco Catalyst 9115AX 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 16 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 17 Cisco wireless LAN controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller, and be sure the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller are either on the same subnet or that the access point has a route back to its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco wireless LAN controller. Also, if the access point is not on the same subnet as the Cisco wireless LAN controller, be sure that there is a properly configured DHCP server on the same subnet as the access point.

- Page 19 Troubleshooting the Access Point to Cisco Controller Join Process Note Ensure that your controller is running the latest Cisco Wireless Controller Software Release as specified in the access point data sheet. Access points can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a RADIUS authorization is pending; self-signed certificates are not enabled on the controller;...
- Page 20 Integrated Services Routers. 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 21 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.
- Page 22 10.127.127.2. The type is f1(hex). The length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex). 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 option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02.
