Introduction
The Cisco Aironet Access Point is a wireless LAN transceiver that acts as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center point of a standalone wireless network. In large installations, the roaming functionality provided by multiple access points enables wireless users to move freely throughout the facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network.
System Requirements
You can install the 32 MB Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA on all 1260, 1040, 1140, 3500i, 3500e, 3600i, 3600e, 2600i, 2600e, 1600i, 1600e, and 1550 series access points.
Finding the Cisco IOS Software Release
To find the version of Cisco IOS software that is running on your access point, use a Telnet session to log into the access point, and enter the show version EXEC command. This example shows command output from an access point that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA:
On access points running Cisco IOS software, you can also find the software release on the System Software Version page in the access point’s web-browser interface. If your access point does not run Cisco IOS software, the software release appears at the top left of most pages in the web-browser interface.
Upgrading to a New Software Release
Note You cannot use HTTPS file transfer to upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)JA from previous releases. Because of the image size for this release, you must use TFTP or FTP file transfer for the upgrade. Refer to the upgrade instructions at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_10b_JA/configuration/guide/scg12410b-chap20-firmware.html#wp1035507

For information on Cisco IOS software, click this link to browse to the Cisco IOS Software Center on Cisco.com:
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html
The new Cisco IOS software is supported only in these versions of 1550 series :
Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode. If the access point is associated with a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated with a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
The image files and their supported access points are listed in Table 2 .
Disabling Radios to Prevent Unexpected Reboots When Upgrading the System Software
If your access point runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA, 12.2(11)JA1, or 12.2(11)JA2, your access point might unexpectedly reboot after you upgrade to a later Cisco IOS release. Because of a rare timing condition that affects the radios, the access point sometimes reboots immediately after the upgrade when the radios are enabled. However, after the access point reboots, the upgrade is complete and the access point operates normally. To prevent the access point from rebooting unexpectedly, disable the radio interfaces before upgrading the software.
To disable the radio interfaces using the access point’s web-browser interface, which you can access through the access point's Ethernet port, follow these steps:
Step 1
Figure 1 Network Interfaces: Radio Settings Page
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable the access point radios using the access point CLI:
Enters interface configuration mode for the radio interface. The 2.4-GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1.
If your access point has two radios, repeat these steps for the second radio. Use the no form of the shutdown command to enable the radio.
New Features
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA has these new features:
Support for IPv6
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA supports IPv6 protocols. IPv6 is the replacement internet protocol for IPv4. It uses 128 bit addresses as opposed to 32 bit addresses that are used in IPv4. Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA supports these unicast addresses:
- Aggregatable Global Address: These addresses are globally routable and reachable on the IPv6 portion of the Internet. Global addresses are identified by the Format Prefix of 001.
- Link-Local Address: These addresses are automatically configured on interface using:
Support for Guest Access
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA supports guest access to the network. Guest networks provide access to the Internet and intranet without compromising the security of the host enterprise network.
Support for 802.11w
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA provides support for 802.11w protocol. Unlike encrypted data traffic, the management frames are sent in an unsecure manner while using the 802.11 protocol for data transfer. The standard 802.11w protocol ensures that the data transfer is secured by applying robust management frame protection protocols.
Installation Notes
This section contains information that you should keep in mind when installing 1260, 1040, 1140, 3500i, 3500e, 3600i, 3600e, 2600i, 2600e, 1600e, and 1550 series access points.
Installation in Environmental Air Space
Cisco Aironet 1040, 1140, 1250, 1260, and 2600 series access points provide adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings, in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.
Antenna Installation
For instructions on the proper installation and grounding of external antennas for 1550, 1260, 1600E, 2600, E3500E, and 3600E access points, refer to the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, and the Canadian Standards Association’s Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54.
Warning Do not install the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death.
Important Notes
This section describes important information about access points and bridges.
Use FTP or FTPS File Transfer to Upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)JB
You cannot use HTTPS file transfer to upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)JB from previous releases. Because of the image size for this release, you must use TFTP or FTP file transfer for the upgrade. Refer to the upgrade instructions at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_10b_JA/configuration/guide/scg12410b-chap20-firmware.html#wp1035507
Cisco 1040/1140 series Access Points May Record "watchdog timer expired" as Last Reset Reason
This error message sometimes appears as the last reset reason when the access points are power cycled:
This symptom is observed only in the Cisco 1040/1140 series access point and does not have any impact on functionality. Ignore the “watchdog timer expired” reason after an access point has been power cycled. You can also overwrite the reset reason to “reload” by rebooting with command operation.
Regulatory Update for Japan
This release supports the U regulatory domain for the W52 frequency set (channels 36, 40, 44, and 48) in Japan for the Cisco Aironet 1230 series. This support was added for the Cisco Aironet 1130 series in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(3G)JA, which shipped previously. Cisco access points specified for this new domain ship with a U domain radio. Installed J domain access points are automatically upgraded to the U domain status with this release.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5679/ps5861/product_data_sheet0900aecd80537b6a_ps430_Products_Data_Sheet.html .Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Bridging Support for 802.11n Platforms
The point-to-point and point-to-multipoint bridging is supported on the Cisco Aironet 1040, 1140, 1260, 1600, 2600, 3500 and 3600 series access points (802.11n platforms). The 5-GHz bands support 20 and 40-MHz channel widths, and the 2.4-GHz bands support only a 20-MHz channel width.
The following items are supported for AP1040, AP1140, AP1260, AP1600, AP2600, AP3500 and AP3600 bridging:
- MIMO, short-range bridging (on campus or inter-building bridge deployments), with dipole and MIMO antennas (line of sight and short range) under 1 km.
- 20-MHz and 40-MHz 802.11n support.
- Workgroup bridge (WGB) short-range support.
- SISO (single-in, single-out), MCS 0-7 and legacy bridge rates (802.11 a/b/g and 802.11n) using one outdoor antenna.
Note This is only supported using short range links and is not a replacement for the AP-1300/1400 or other bridge products.
The following items are not supported for AP1040, AP1140, AP1260, AP1600, AP2600, AP3500 and AP3600 bridging:
Access Points Transmit Multicast and Management Frames
Access points that are running recent Cisco IOS versions transmit multicast and management frames at the highest configured basic rate, which can cause reliability problems.
Access points that are running LWAPP or autonomous IOS should transmit multicast and management frames at the lowest configured basic rate to provide for good coverage at the cell's edge, especially for unacknowledged multicast transmissions where multicast wireless transmissions might fail to be received.
As multicast frames are not retransmitted at the MAC layer so stations at the edge of the cell might fail to receive them successfully. If reliable reception is a goal, multicasts should be transmitted at a low data rate. If support for high data rate multicasts is required, it might be useful to shrink the cell size and to disable all lower data rates.
Depending on your specific requirements, these options are available:
- If you need to transmit multicast data with the greatest reliability and if there is no need for great multicast bandwidth, configure a single basic rate that is low enough to reach the edges of the wireless cells.
- If you need to transmit multicast data at a certain data rate in order to achieve a certain throughput, configure that rate as the highest basic rate. You can also set a lower basic rate for coverage of nonmulticast clients.
Low Throughput Seen on 1260 Series Access Points with 16 BSSIDs Configured
If your network uses 16 BSSIDs with 1 and 2-Mbps data rates, 1260 series access points might experience very low throughput due to high management traffic.
802.11n HT Rates Apply Only to No Encryption or WPA2/AES Encryption
The 802.11n HT rates apply only to no encryption or WPA2/AES encryption. They do not apply to WEP or WPA encryption. If WEP or TKIP encryption is used, the 1250 series access points and any 802.11n Draft 2.0 clients will not transmit at the HT rates. Legacy rates (802.11a/b/g) will be used for any clients using WEP or TKIP encryption.
Layer 3 Not Supported with NAC for MBSSID
Layer 3 is not supported with NAC for MBSSID in this release.
Change to Default IP Address Behavior
Cisco IOS Releases 12.3(2)JA and later releases change the default behavior of access points that request an IP address from a DHCP server
When you connect a 1040, 1130, 1140, 1250, or 1260 series access point or a 1300 series outdoor access point/bridge with a default configuration to a LAN, the access point requests an IP address from a DHCP server and, if it does not receive an address, continues to send requests indefinitely.
Changes to the Default Configuration—Radios Disabled and No Default SSID
The radio or radios are disabled by default, and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radio or radios before the access point allows wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of newly installed access points.
Clients Using WPA/WPA2 and Power Save May Fail to Authenticate
Certain clients using WPA/WPA2 key management and power save can take many attempts to authenticate or, in some cases, fail to authenticate. Any SSID that is defined to use authentication key-management WPA, together with clients using power save mode and authenticating using WPA/WPA2, can experience this problem.
A hidden configure level command, dot11 wpa handshake timeout, can be used to increase the timeout between sending the WPA key packets from the default value (100 ms) to a value between 101 and 2000 ms. The command stores its value in the configuration across device reloads.
Default Username and Password Are Cisco
When you open the access point interface, you must enter a username and a password. The default username for administrator login is Cisco, and the default password is Cisco. Both the username and password are case sensitive.
Some Client Devices Cannot Associate When QoS Is Configured
Some wireless client devices, including Dell Axim handhelds and Hewlett-Packard iPaq HX4700 handhelds, cannot associate to an access point when the access point is configured for QoS. To allow these clients to associate, disable QoS on the access point. You can use the QoS Policies page on the access point GUI to disable QoS or enter this command on the CLI:
Some Devices Disassociate When Multiple BSSIDs Are Added or Deleted
Devices on your wireless LAN that are configured to associate to a specific access point based on the access point MAC address (such as client devices, repeaters, hot standby units, or workgroup bridges) might lose their association when you add or delete multiple BSSIDs. When you add or delete multiple BSSIDs, check the association status of devices that are configured to associate to a specific access point. If necessary, reconfigure the disassociated device to use the BSSID new MAC address.
Enabling MBSSIDs Without VLANs Disables Radio Interface
If you use the mbssid configuration interface command to enable multiple BSSIDs on a specific radio interface but VLANs are not configured on the access point, the access point disables the radio interface. To reenable the radio, you must shut down the radio, disable multiple BSSIDs, and reenable the radio.
This example shows how to reenable the radio:
After you reenable the radio, you can enable VLANs on the access point and enable multiple BSSIDs.
Cannot Set Channel on DFS-Enabled Radios in Some Regulatory Domains
Access points with 5-GHz radios configured at the factory for use in Europe, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Israel now comply with regulations that require radio devices to use Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to detect radar signals and to avoid interfering with them. You cannot manually set the channel on DFS-enabled radios that are configured for these regulatory domains.
Cisco 7920 Phones Require Firmware Version 1.09 or Later When Multiple BSSIDs Are Enabled
When multiple BSSIDs are configured on the access point, Cisco 7920 wireless IP phones must run firmware version 1.09 or later versions.
GRE Tunnelling Through WLSM Sometimes Requires MTU Setting Adjustments
If client devices on your wireless LAN cannot use certain network applications or cannot browse to Internet sites, you might need to adjust the MTU setting on the client devices or other network devices. For more information, refer to the Tech Note at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk827/tk369/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093f1f.shtml
TACACS+ and DHCP IP Address Sometimes Locks Out Administrators
When you configure an access point for TACACS+ administration and you request for an IP address from the DHCP server, you might be locked out of the access point after it reboots if you do not have a local username and password configured on the access point. This issue does not affect access points that are configured with a static IP address. If you have been locked out, you must regain access by resetting the unit to default settings.
Access Points Do Not Support Loopback Interface
You must not configure a loopback interface on the access point.
Non-Cisco Aironet 802.11g Clients Might Require Firmware Upgrades
Some non-Cisco Aironet 802.11g client devices require a firmware upgrade before they can associate to the 802.11g radio in the access point. If your non-Cisco Aironet 802.11g client device does not associate to the access point, download and install the latest client firmware from the manufacturer’s website.
Throughput Option for 802.11g Radio Blocks Association by 802.11b Clients
When you configure the 802.11g access point radio for best throughput, the access point sets all data rates to basic (required). This setting blocks association from 802.11b client devices. The best throughput option appears on the web-browser interface Express Setup and Radio Settings pages and in the speed CLI configuration interface command.
Use Auto for Ethernet Duplex and Speed Settings
We recommend that you use auto, the default setting, for both the speed and duplex settings on the access point Ethernet port. When your access point receives inline power from a switch, any change in the speed or duplex settings that resets the Ethernet link reboots the access point. If the switch port to which the access point is connected is not set to auto, you can change the access point port to half or full to correct a duplex mismatch, and the Ethernet link is not reset. However, if you change from half or full back to auto, the link is reset, and, if your access point receives inline power from a switch, the access point reboots.
Note The speed and duplex settings on the access point Ethernet port must match the Ethernet settings on the port to which the access point is connected. If you change the settings on the port to which the access point is connected, change the settings on the access point Ethernet port to match.
Using the force-reload Option with archive download-sw Command
When you upgrade an access point or bridge system software by entering the archive download-sw command on the CLI, you must use the force-reload option. If the access point or bridge does not reload the flash memory after the upgrade, the pages in the web-browser interface might not reflect the upgrade. This example shows how to upgrade the system software by using the archive download-sw command:
Radio MAC Address Appears in ACU
When a Cisco Aironet client device associates to an access point that runs Cisco IOS software, the access point MAC address that appears on the Status page in the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) is the MAC address for the access point radio. The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is printed on the label on the back of the access point.
Radio MAC Address Appears in Access Point Event Log
When a client device roams from an access point (such as access point alpha) to another access point (access point bravo), a message appears in the event log on access point alpha stating that the client roamed to access point bravo. The MAC address that appears in the event message is the MAC address for the radio in access point bravo. The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is on the label on the back of the access point.
Mask Field on IP Filters Page Behaves the Same As in CLI
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)JA and later releases, the mask that you enter in the Mask field on the IP Filters page in the access point GUI behaves the same way as a mask that you enter in the CLI. If you enter 255.255.255.255 as the mask, the access point accepts any IP address. If you enter 0.0.0.0, the access point looks for an exact match with the IP address that you entered in the IP Address field.
Repeater Access Points Cannot Be Configured as WDS Access Points
Repeater access points can participate in WDS, but they cannot provide WDS. You cannot configure a repeater access point as a main WDS access point, and if a root access point becomes a repeater in fallback mode, it cannot provide WDS.
Cannot Perform Link Tests on Non-Cisco Aironet Client Devices and on Cisco Aironet 802.11g Client Devices
The link test feature on the web-browser interface does not support non-Cisco Aironet client devices or Cisco Aironet 802.11g client devices.
Corrupt EAP Packet Sometimes Causes an Error Message
During client authentication, the access point sometimes receives a corrupt EAP packet and displays this error message:
When Cipher Is TKIP Only, Key Management Must Be Enabled
When you configure TKIP-only cipher encryption (not TKIP + WEP 128 or TKIP + WEP 40) on any radio interface or VLAN, every SSID on that radio or VLAN must be set to use WPA or CCKM key management. If you configure TKIP on a radio or VLAN but you do not configure key management on the SSIDs, client authentication fails on the SSIDs.
Cisco CKM Supports SpectraLink Phones
Cisco CKM (CCKM) key management is designed to support voice clients that require minimal roaming times. CCKM supports only SpectraLink and Cisco 7920 Version 2.0 Wireless Phones. Other voice clients are not supported.
Non-Cisco Aironet Clients Sometimes Fail 802.1X Authentication
Some non-Cisco Aironet client adapters do not perform 802.1X authentication to the access point unless you configure Open authentication with EAP. To allow both Cisco Aironet clients using LEAP and non-Cisco Aironet clients using LEAP to associate using the same SSID, you might need to configure the SSID for both Network EAP authentication and Open authentication with EAP.
Pings and Link Tests Sometimes Fail to Clients with Both Wired and Wireless Network Connections
When you ping or run a link test from an access point to a client device installed in a PC running Microsoft Windows 2000, the ping or link test sometimes fails when the client has both wired and wireless connections to the LAN. Microsoft does not recommend this configuration. For more information, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 157025 at this URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;157025&Product=win2000
Layer 3 Mobility Not Supported on Repeaters and Workgroup Bridges
Repeater access points and workgroup bridges cannot associate to an SSID that is configured for Layer 3 mobility. Layer 3 mobility is not supported on repeaters and workgroup bridges.
Hardware Limitation in Cisco Aironet 1250 and 1140 Series Access Points
The beacons on the Cisco Aironet 1250 and 1140 access points can only have output at intervals that are multiples of 17 milliseconds. When these access points are configured for a 100-millisecond beacon interval, they transmit beacons every 102 milliseconds. Similarly, when the beacon interval is configured for 20 milliseconds, these access points transmit beacons every 17 milliseconds.
Potential RFC 3748 Violation
When the following command is configured under the SSID settings (for LEAP authentication):
if the first access-challenge returned by the Radius server after the access-request from the access point is not for the LEAP method but for EAP-MD5, the access point violates RFC 3748.
Instead of sending an EAP NAK requesting LEAP authentication, the access point sends the user's credentials with EAP-MD5 and drops the derived keys, since it cannot read the EAP-MD5 from the access-accept.
The workaround for this is to use the commands
dot1x credentialsanddot1x eap profilefor LEAP authentication.For configuration procedures, see the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points.
Autonomous AP Will Treat The Sub-interface Tied To Bridge-group1 As The Native Vlan
When using a configuration on an autonomous AP where there is no native VLAN defined, each interface is being dot1q tagged, communication will fail after upgrading to 15.2(2)JA or later. It appears that the configuration is still correct after the upgrade, but the AP sends the untagged frames for bridge-group 1, even though the encapsulation is not defined as native. The autonomous AP will treat the sub-interface tied to bridge-group 1 as the native VLAN, even if it is not defined with the native keyword: "encapsulation dot1 <vlan> native". The VLAN associated with bridge-group 1 must be set to native on the connecting switchport configuration
The workaround for this is to configure VLAN 100 as the native VLAN on the connected switchport trunk, even though the encapsulation is not specified as native on the AP.
IP Routing Enabled By Default
IP routing is enabled by default in 15.2(2)JB. This default configuration will render ip default-gateway statements inoperable. The workaround is to disable ip routing globally (config t, no ip routing), configure a default route instead of a default-gateway (e.g. config t, ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <default-gateway> ), or disable IP routing using the following cli command:
DHCP Failure When Access Point Renewal Time Is Greater Than Rebind Time
An access point is unable to obtain IP through the same IOS DHCP server when the access point is running on 15.2x and the WLC has been upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3 or 7.4. The problem occurs because the Renewal (T1) time dhcp option 58 is larger than Rebinding (T2) time dhcp option 59.
Configuring the radius server using the old cli
This cli command was used in the previous releases to configure radius servers:
radius-server host { hostname | ip-address } [ auth-port port-number ] [ acct-port port-number ] [ timeout seconds ] [ retransmit retries ] [ key string ]
Though this command can be still be used, we recommend that you use this new command:
radius server {server-name}[ auth-port port-number ] [ acct-port port-number ] [ timeout seconds ] [ retransmit retries ] [ key string ]
