This guide provides instructions on how to install your Cisco Catalyst Series 9105AXI and 9105AXIT access points and provides links to resources that can help you configure it. This guide also provides mounting instructions and troubleshooting information.

Note that the C9105AXI and C9105AXIT access points are referred to as either the access point or the AP in this document.

The Cisco Catalyst Series 9105AXI and 9105AXIT wireless access points are advanced dual-band, dual-concurrent, enterprise 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) APs with integrated antennas. These wall-mounted APs support 2x2:2 SS MU-MIMO applications and are designed to use both 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands. The APs support full interoperability with leading 802.11ax and 802.11ac clients, along with a mixed deployment with other APs and controllers.

A full listing of the AP's features and specifications are provided in the Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI Series Access Point Data Sheet, at the following URL: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/datasheet-c78-744062.html

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 or ZigBee) 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 Digital Network Architecture (DNA) support enables 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.

Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point.

You should have the following information about your wireless network available:

■Access point locations.

■Access point mounting options: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a desk top.

Note You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase additional mounting hardware: See Configuring and Deploying the Access Point for additional information.

■Access point power options: 802.3at (PoE+) (Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ6=), 802.3af (Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ5=), Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE), or hub (usually located in a wiring closet).

■Operating temperature: 32°—122°F (0°—50°C)

Cisco recommends that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless network.

Installing the access point involves these operations:

Note Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure. However, performing this procedure ensures that your access point installation and initial operation go as expected.If your network controller is properly configured, you can install your access point in its final location and connect it to the network from there. See the Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network for details.

The pre-installation configuration setup is illustrated in Pre-Installation Configuration Setup.

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

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.

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.

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.

This section describes how to connect the access point to a controller. Because the configuration process takes place on the controller, see the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for additional information.

Access points must be discovered by a controller before they can become an active part of the network. The access point supports these controller discovery processes:

■Locally stored controller IP address discovery—If the access point was previously joined to a controller, the IP addresses of the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers are stored in the access point non-volatile memory. This process of storing controller IP addresses on an access point for later deployment is called priming the access point. For more information about priming, see the Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration.

■DHCP server discovery—This feature uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP addresses to the access points. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option that is typically used for this capability. For more information about DHCP option 43, see the Configuring DHCP Option 43.

■DNS discovery—The access point can discover controllers through your domain name server (DNS). For the access point to do so, you must configure your DNS to return controller IP addresses in response to CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain, where localdomain is the access point domain name. Configuring the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER provides backwards compatibility in an existing customer deployment. When an access point receives an IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server, it contacts the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When the DNS sends a list of controller IP addresses, the access point sends discovery requests to the controllers.

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

The Cisco Catalyst C9105AXI and C9105AXIT access points can be mounted in several configurations – on or above a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, and on a desk top. The standard mounting hardware supported by the APs is listed in Brackets and Clips for Mounting the AP.

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

The location of the access point status LED is shown in Face of the C9105AXI and C9105AXIT Models.

Note Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturer’s specifications and is not a defect. However, the intensity of the LED can be changed through the controller.

The access point status LED indicates various conditions and are described in LED Status Indications.

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.

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.

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.

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:

ip dhcp pool

network

default-router

dns-server

Where:

is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP9105AXI

is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1

is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0

is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1

is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2

option 43 hex

The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values shown below: Type + Length + Value

For example, suppose that there are two controllers with management interface IP addresses, 10.126.126.2 and 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.

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.

Cet appareil est conforme aux directives internationales en matière d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques

Cet appareil de la gamme C9105AXI comprend un émetteur-récepteur radio. Il a été conçu de manière à respecter les limites en matière d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (champs électromagnétiques de fréquence radio), recommandées dans le code de sécurité 6 de Santé Canada. Ces directives intègrent une marge de sécurité importante destinée à assurer la sécurité de tous, indépendamment de l'âge et de la santé.

Par conséquent, les systèmes sont conçus pour être exploités en évitant que l'utilisateur n'entre en contact avec les antennes. Il est recommandé de poser le système là où les antennes sont à une distance minimale telle que précisée par l'utilisateur conformément aux directives réglementaires qui sont conçues pour réduire l'exposition générale de l'utilisateur ou de l'opérateur.

Santé Canada affirme que la littérature scientifique actuelle n'indique pas qu'il faille prendre des précautions particulières lors de l'utilisation d'un appareil sans fil. Si vous voulez réduire votre exposition encore davantage, selon l'agence, vous pouvez facilement le faire en réorientant les antennes afin qu'elles soient dirigées à l'écart de l'utilisateur, en les plaçant à une distance d'éloignement supérieure à celle recommandée ou en réduisant la puissance de sortie de l'émetteur.
