Access Point Features

The C9105AXI and C9105AXIT wireless APs are wireless controller-based products and support the following features:

■Two dual-band internal antennas and one single-band internal IoT–BLE antenna in both the C9105AXI-x and C9105AXIT-x AP models

Note The ‘x’ in the model numbers represents the regulatory domain. For information on supported regulatory domains, see the AP Model Numbers and Regulatory Domains.

■Integrated antennas that are omni directional in azimuth, for both 2.4 GHz (peak gain 4dBi) and 5 GHz (peak gain 5dBi) bands.

■The following hardware external interfaces:

–1x100/1000 GigEthernet (RJ-45)

–RS-232 console interface through RJ-45

Note The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable (not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one meter in length.

–Mode button (enables partial or full system configuration recovery)

–One multi-color LED Status indicator. See the Checking the Access Point LEDs for information on the colors of the LED status indicator.

■Simultaneous 2x2 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) with 2 spatial streams for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

■Multiuser (MU) MIMO technology with 2 spatial streams for downlink.

■MIMO equalization capabilities, which optimize uplink performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade.

■Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based scheduling for both uplink and downlink.

■Spatial Reuse (also known as Basic Service Set (BSS) coloring) which allows APs and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions.

■New power savings mode called Target Wake Time (TWT) which allows the client to stay asleep and wake up only at pre-scheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This provides significant energy savings for battery-operated devices.

■Cisco Catalyst Center support enables Cisco Spaces (formerly Cisco DNA Spaces), Apple FastLane and Cisco Identity Services Engine.

■Cross-AP Noise Reduction, a Cisco innovation that enables APs to intelligently collaborate in real time about RF conditions so that users connect with optimized signal quality and performance.

■Optimized AP Roaming for ensuring that client devices associate with the AP in their coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available.

■Cisco CleanAir delivers proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz-wide channels to combat performance problems arising from wireless interference.

This AP supports both lightweight deployments (using Cisco Wireless Controllers) and Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller deployments. The AP can operate in the following modes:

■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.

■FlexConnect—In FlexConnect mode (previously known as HREAP), the data traffic is switched locally and is not sent to the controller. In this mode, the Cisco AP behaves like an autonomous AP, but is managed by the Cisco WLC. Here, the AP continues to function even if connection to the controller is lost.

■Monitor—In the monitor mode, specified Cisco APs can exclude themselves from handling data traffic between clients and the infrastructure. These APs act as dedicated sensors for location based services (LBS), rogue AP detection, and intrusion detection (IDS).
When APs are in monitor mode, they actively monitor the airwaves and typically do not serve clients.

■Sniffer—In the wireless sniffer mode, the AP starts sniffing the air on a given channel. It captures and forwards all the packets from the clients on that channel to a remote machine that runs Airopeek or Wireshark (packet analyzers for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs). This includes information on the time stamp, signal strength, packet size, etc.

Note In the sniffer mode, the server to which the data is sent should be on the same VLAN as the wireless controller management VLAN otherwise an error will be displayed.

Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration (optional)

1. Configuring and Deploying the Access Point
2. Grounding the Access Point
3. Preparing the AP for Installation

Pre-Installation Configuration Setup

To perform pre-installation configuration, perform the following steps:

Make sure that the Cisco Wireless Controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the procedure for CLI or web-browser interface as described in the appropriate Cisco Wireless Controller guide.

1. Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco Wireless Controller Management and AP-Manager Interface.
2. Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach. See the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for the release you are using, for additional information.
3. Set the Cisco Wireless Controller as the primary so that new access points always join with it.
4. Make sure DHCP is enabled on the network. The access point must receive its IP address through DHCP.

Note An 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.

1. CAPWAP UDP ports (5246 and 5247) must not be blocked in the network.
2. The access point must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, refer to the product documentation. See also the Configuring DHCP Option 43 for more information.

Note The access point requires a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic because wireless traffic speeds exceed transmit speeds of a 10/100 Ethernet port.

1. Power up the access point. See Grounding the Access Point.
2. As the AP attempts to connect to the controller, the status LED alternates between red and green. This can take up to five minutes.

Note If the AP remains in this mode for more than five minutes, it indicates that the AP is unable to find the primary Cisco Wireless Controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller and be sure that they are on the same subnet.

1. If the access point shuts down, check the power source.
2. After the access point finds the Cisco Wireless Controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code if the access point code version differs from the Cisco Wireless Controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks blue.
3. If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots.
4. Configure the access point if required. Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco Catalyst Center to customize the access-point-specific 802.11ax network settings.
5. If the pre-installation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green indicating normal operation. Disconnect the access point and mount it at the location at which you intend to deploy it on the wireless network.
6. If your AP does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the pre-installation configuration.

When you are installing a Layer 3 AP on a different subnet than the Cisco Wireless Controller, be sure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you will be installing the access point, and that the subnet has a route back to the Cisco Wireless Controller. Also be sure that the route back to the Cisco Wireless Controller has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications. Ensure that the route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controller allows IP packet fragments. Finally, be sure that if address translation is used, that the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. (Port Address Translation is not supported.)

The Controller Discovery Process

The controller must be running release 8.10.130.0 or IOS-XE 17.3.x to support C9105AXI access points. For more information, visit the access point data sheet available on Cisco.com at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/datasheet-c78-744062.html.

• You cannot edit or query any access point using the controller CLI if the name of the access point contains a space.
• Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may not be valid for that time.

Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network

After you have mounted the access point, follow these steps to deploy it on the wireless network:

The Controller Discovery Process

The controller must be running release 8.10.105.0 or IOS-XE 17.3.x to support C9105AXI models. For more information, visit the access point data sheet available on Cisco.com at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/datasheet-c78-744062.html.

• You cannot edit or query any access point using the controller CLI if the name of the access point contains a space.
• Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may not be valid for that time.

Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network

After you have mounted the access point, follow these steps to deploy it on the wireless network:

Using the Mode Button

Using the Mode button (see Ports and Connectors on the Head of the C9105AXI and C9105AXIT Models) you can:

■Reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration.

■Clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files.

To use the mode button, press, and keep pressed, the mode button on the access point during the AP boot cycle. Wait until the AP console shows a seconds counter. Once the counter indicates the number of seconds the mode button is pressed, the AP status LED changes to blinking red. Then:

■To reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration, keep the mode button pressed for less than 20 seconds. The AP configuration files are cleared.

This resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, the IP address, and the SSID.

■To clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files, keep the mode button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds.

Note If the mode button is pressed for more than 30 seconds but less than 60 seconds, the FIPS mode flag is also cleared during the full factory reset of the AP. The FIPS flag when set disables console access.

The AP status LED changes from Blue to Red, and all the files in the AP storage directory are cleared.

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

Note As specified in the Cisco Wireless Solutions Software Compatibility Matrix, ensure that your controller is running controller software release 8.10.105.0 or IOS-XE 17.3.x or later to support this AP.

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; the access point and the controller regulatory domains don’t match, and so on.

Controller software enables you to configure the access points to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. You do not need to enable any debug commands on the controller because all of the CAPWAP error messages can be viewed from the syslog server itself.

The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller until it receives a CAPWAP join request from the access point. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine why the CAPWAP discovery request from a certain access point was rejected. In order to troubleshoot such joining problems without enabling CAPWAP debug commands on the controller, the controller collects information for all access points that send a discovery message to it and maintains information for any access points that have successfully joined it.

The controller collects all join-related information for each access point that sends a CAPWAP discovery request to the controller. Collection begins with the first discovery message received from the access point and ends with the last configuration payload sent from the controller to the access point.

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.

An access point sends all syslog messages to IP address 255.255.255.255 by default.

You can also configure a DHCP server to return a syslog server IP address to the access point using option 7 on the server. The access point then starts sending all syslog messages to this IP address.

When the access point joins a controller for the first time, the controller sends the global syslog server IP address (the default is 255.255.255.255) to the access point. After that, the access point sends all syslog messages to this IP address until it is overridden by one of the following scenarios:

■The access point is still connected to the same controller, and the global syslog server IP address configuration on the controller has been changed using the config ap syslog host global syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new global syslog server IP address to the access point.

■The access point is still connected to the same controller, and a specific syslog server IP address has been configured for the access point on the controller using the config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new specific syslog server IP address to the access point.

■The access point is disconnected from the controller and joins another controller. In this case, the new controller sends its global syslog server IP address to the access point.

■Whenever a new syslog server IP address overrides the existing syslog server IP address, the old address is erased from persistent storage, and the new address is stored in its place. The access point also starts sending all syslog messages to the new IP address provided the access point can reach the syslog server IP address.

You can configure the syslog server for access points and view the access point join information only from the controller CLI.

Important Information for Controller-based Deployments

Keep these guidelines in mind when you use C9105AXI series access point:

■The access point can only communicate with Cisco wireless controllers.

■The access point does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access point joins it.

■CAPWAP does not support Layer 2. The access point must get an IP address and discover the controller using Layer 3, DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast.

■The access point console port is enabled for monitoring and debug purposes. All configuration commands are disabled when the access point is connected to a controller.

Configuring DHCP Option 43

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. In Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface.

Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type.

The C9105AXI series access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 43). The VCI string for the C9105AXI series access point is:

Cisco AP C9105AX

The format of the TLV block is listed below:

■Type—0xf1 (decimal 241)

■Length—Number of controller IP addresses * 4

■Value—IP addresses of the WLC management interfaces listed sequentially in hex

To configure DHCP Option 43 in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:

What is 802.11ax?

The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as the High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, 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). 802.11ax is designed to use both 2.4Ghz and the 5GHz bands, unlike prior standards.
