General
|
AP Name
|
Operator defined name of access point.
|
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.
|
Link Latency Settings
|
You can configure link latency on the controller to measure the link between an access point and the controller. See the Configuring Link Latency Settings for Access Points for more information.
- Current Link Latency (in msec)—The current round-trip time (in milliseconds) of heartbeat packets from the access point to the controller and back.
- Minimum Link Latency (in msec)—Because link latency has been enabled or reset, the minimum round-trip time (in milliseconds) of heartbeat packets from the access point to the controller and back.
- Maximum Link Latency (in msec)—Because link latency has been enabled or reset, the maximum round-trip time (in milliseconds) of heartbeat packets from the access point to the controller and back.
|
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
|
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.
Note
| 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.
Note
| 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.
|
Note
| Once you have enabled the access point for wIPS, reenable the radios.
|
|
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.
Note
| FlexConnect must be selected to configure an OfficeExtend access point. When the AP mode is FlexConnect, FlexConnect configuration options display including the option to enable OfficeExtend AP and to enable Least Latency Controller Join.
|
|
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.
|
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. See the “Monitoring System Summary” section on page 5-4 for more information.
|
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 include the following:
- 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.
- Not Applicable—The power source is not from the Ethernet.
|
Rogue Detection
|
Indicates whether or not Rogue Detection is enabled.
Note
| Rogue detection is disabled automatically for OfficeExtend access points because these access points, which are deployed in a home environment, are likely to detect a large number of rogue devices. For more information regarding OfficeExtend access points, see the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide.
|
|
OfficeExtend AP
|
Indicates whether or not the access point is enabled as an OfficeExtend access point. The default is Enabled.
|
Encryption
|
Indicates whether or not encryption is enabled.
Note
| Enabling or disabling encryption functionality causes the access point to reboot which then causes a loss of connectivity for clients.
|
Note
| 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.
Note
| 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. Because of this, Telnet and SSH access are disabled automatically for OfficeExtend access points.
