Cisco Cisco Aironet 1310 Access Point Bridge Information Guide

A. The easiest way to distinguish between a regular AP and a LAP is to look at the part
number of the AP.

LAP (Lightweight AP Protocol [LWAPP])Part numbers always begin with
AIR−LAPXXXX.

♦ 

Autonomous AP (Cisco IOS® Software)Part numbers always begin with
AIR−APXXXX.

♦ 

The Cisco Aironet 1000 Series LAPs are an exception to this criteria. The part numbers of the
1000 series LAPs are:

AIR−AP1010−A−K9 for a 1010 LAP

♦ 

AIR−AP1020−A−K9 for a 1020 LAP

♦ 

AIR−AP1030−A−K9 for a 1030 LAP

♦ 

Note: The part numbers can vary, which depends on the country and regulatory domain. The
part numbers that this list provides are just examples.

Make sure that you order the appropriate AP for your wireless LAN (WLAN).

A. These Cisco Aironet AP platforms are able to run LWAPP:

Aironet 1500 Series

♦ 

Cisco Aironet 1250 Series

♦ 

Aironet 1240 AG Series

♦ 

Aironet 1230 AG Series

♦ 

Aironet 1200 Series

♦ 

Aironet 1130 AG Series

♦ 

Aironet 1000 Series

♦ 

Aironet 1140 Series AP

Note: The 1140 Series AP is supported only with WLC that runs 5.2 release or later.

♦ 

Note: You can order these Aironet APs with Cisco IOS Software to operate as autonomous
APs or to operate with LWAPP. The part number determines if an AP is a Cisco IOS
Software−based AP or an LWAPP−based AP. Here are examples:

AIR−AP1242AG−A−K9 is a Cisco IOS Software−based AP.

♦ 

AIR−LAP1242AG−P−K9 is an LWAPP−based AP.

♦ 

Note: The 1000 Series APs and the 1500 Series APs are exceptions to this criterion. All the
1000 Series APs and the 1500 Series APs support only LWAPP.

A. LWAPP−enabled APs are part of the Cisco Integrated Wireless Network Solution and
require no manual configuration before they are mounted. The AP is configured by an
LWAPP−capable Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). Refer to the Quick Start Guide
LWAPP−Enabled Cisco Aironet Access Points for information on how to install and initially
configure an LWAPP−enabled access point.
