|
AP IP address, Ethernet MAC address, and Base Radio MAC address
|
IP address, Ethernet MAC address and Radio MAC address.
|
Country Code
|
The codes of the supported countries. Up to 20 countries can be
supported per controller.
Access points might not operate properly if they are not designed for use in your country of operation. See Cisco Wireless Control System Configuration Guide, Release 4.0 for a complete list of country codes supported per product.
|
Link Latency Settings
|

-
Current Link Latency—The current round-trip time in milliseconds of heartbeat packets from the access point to the controller
and back.
-
Minimum Link Latency—The minimum round-trip time in milliseconds of heartbeat packets from the access point to the controller
and back when link latency has been enabled or reset,
-
Maximum Link Latency—The maximum round-trip time in milliseconds of heartbeat packets from the access point to the controller
and back when link latency has been enabled or reset.
|
LWAPP/CAPWAP Uptime
|
Displays how long the LWAPP/CAPWAP connection has been active.
|
LWAPP/CAPWAP Join Taken Time
|
Displays how long the LWAPP/CAPWAP connection has been joined.
|
Admin Status
|
The administration state of the access point as either enabled
or disabled.
|
AP Mode
Note
|
Only Local, FlexConnect, and Sniffer modes are supported on
Cisco 1815I Series Unified Access Points and Cisco Aironet 1810W Series Access
Points.
|
|
Local
|
Default mode. Data clients are serviced while configured
channels are scanned for noise and rogues. The access point goes off-channel
for 50 ms and listens for rogues. It cycles through each channel for the period
specified under the Auto RF configuration.
To configure Local or FlexConnect access points for the Cisco
Adaptive wIPS feature, choose Local or FlexConnect and select the Enhanced wIPS
Engine Enabled check box.
|
Monitor
|
Radio receive only mode. The access point scans all configured
channels every 12 seconds. Only deauthenticated packets are sent in the air
with an access point configured this way. A monitor mode access point can
connect as a client to a rogue access point.
To configure access points for Cisco Adaptive wIPS feature,
select Monitor. Select the Enhanced wIPS Engine Enabled check box and choose
wIPS from the Monitor Mode Optimization drop-down list.
Before you can enable an access point to be in wIPS mode, you
must disable the access point radios. If you do not disable the access point
radio, an error message appears.
Once you have re-enable the radios after you enable wIPS on the
access point.
|
Rogue Detector
|
The access point radio is turned off and the access point
listens to wired traffic only. The controllers that operate in this mode
monitor the rogue access points. The controller sends all the rogue access
point and client MAC address lists to the rogue detector, and the rogue
detector forwards this information to the WLC. The MAC address list is compared
to what the WLC access points heard over the network. If the MAC addresses
match, you can determine which rogue access points are connected on the wired
network.
|
Sniffer
|
The access point captures and forwards all the packets on a
particular channel to a remote machine that runs AiroPeek. These packets
contain information such as timestamp, signal strength, packet size, and so on.
This feature can only be enabled if you run AiroPeek, which is a third-party
network analyzer software that supports the decoding of data packets.
|
FlexConnect
|
Enables FlexConnect for up to six access points. The
FlexConnect access points can switch client data traffic locally and perform
client authentication locally when their connection to the controller is lost.
FlexConnect must be selected to configure an OfficeExtend
access point. In the FlexConnect mode, the configuration options display the
option to enable OfficeExtend AP and allows the Least Latency Controller to
join it.
|
Bridge
|
This is a special mode where an autonomous access point
functions as a wireless client and connects to a lightweight access point. The
bridge and its wired clients are listed as client in the Prime Infrastructure
if the AP mode is set to Bridge, and the access point is bridge capable.
|
Spectrum Expert
|
This mode allows a CleanAir-enabled access point to be used
extensively for interference detection on all monitored channels. All other
functions such as IDS scanning and Wi-Fi are suspended.
|
Versions
|
Software Version
|
The operating system release version number of the code
currently running on the controller.
|
Enhanced wIPs Engine
|
Enabled or Disabled, to enable the monitoring of the security
attacks using Cisco Adaptive wIPS feature.
|
Operational Status
|
Registered or Not Registered, as determined by the controller.
|
Registered Controller
|
The controller to which the access point is registered. Click
to display the registered controller details.
|
Primary Controller
|
The name of the primary controller for this access point.
|
Port Number
|
The SNMP name of the access point primary controller. The
access point attempts to associate with this controller first for all network
operations and in the event of a hardware reset.
|
AP Uptime
|
Displays how long the access point has been active to receive
and transmit.
|
Map Location
|
Customer-definable location name for the access point. Click to
look at the actual location on a map. Choose Monitor > Access Points >
name > Map Location for more information.
|
Google Earth Location
|
Indicates whether a Google Earth location is assigned.
|
Location
|
The physical location where the access point is placed (or
Unassigned).
|
Statistics Timer
|
This counter sets the time in seconds that the access point
sends its DOT11 statistics to the controller.
|
PoE Status
|
The power over Ethernet status of the access point. The
possible values are:
-
Low—The access point draws low power from the Ethernet.
-
Lower than 15.4 volts—The access point draws lower than 15.4 volts from the Ethernet.
-
Lower than 16.8 volts—The access point draws lower than 16.8 volts from the Ethernet.
-
Normal—The power is high enough for the operation of the access point.
-
External—The power source is from a power injector.
-
Not Applicable—The power source is not from the Ethernet.
|
Rogue Detection
|
Indicates whether or not Rogue Detection is enabled.
Rogue detection is disabled automatically for OfficeExtend
access points because these access points are deployed in a home environment
and are likely to detect a large number of rogue devices.
|
OfficeExtend AP
|
Indicates whether or not the access point is enabled as an
OfficeExtend access point. The AP is enabled by default.
|
Encryption
|
Indicates whether or not encryption is enabled. Enabling or
disabling encryption functionality causes the access point to reboot which then
leads to a loss of connectivity for clients.
DTLS data encryption is enabled automatically for OfficeExtend
access points to maintain security. Encryption is only available if the access
point is connected to a 5500 series controller with a Plus license.
|
Least Latency Join
|
The access point switches from a priority order search
(primary, secondary, and then tertiary controller) to a search for the
controller with the best latency measurement (least latency). The controller
with the least latency provides the best performance.
|
Telnet Access
|
Indicates whether or not Telnet Access is enabled.
|
SSH Access
|
Indicates whether or not SSH is enabled.
An OfficeExtend access point might be connected directly to the
WAN which could allow external access if the default password is used by the
access point. Hence Telnet and SSH access are disabled automatically for
OfficeExtend access points.
