Release Notes for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges for Cisco IOS Release 12.4(10b)JA
OL-14517-01
Important Notes
Since multicast frames are not retransmitted at the MAC layer, stations at the edge of the cell may fail
to receive them successfully. If reliable reception is a goal, then multicasts should be transmitted at a
low data rate. If support for high data rate multicasts is required, then it may be useful to shrink the cell
size and to disable all lower data rates.
to receive them successfully. If reliable reception is a goal, then multicasts should be transmitted at a
low data rate. If support for high data rate multicasts is required, then it may be useful to shrink the cell
size and to disable all lower data rates.
Depending on your specific requirements, you can take the following action:
•
If you need to transmit the multicast data with the greatest reliability and if there is no need for great
multicast bandwidth, then configure a single basic rate, one that is low enough to reach the edges of
the wireless cells.

•
If you need to transmit the multicast data at a certain data rate in order to achieve a certain
throughput, then configure that rate as the highest basic rate. You can also set a lower basic rate for
coverage of non-multicast clients.

coverage of non-multicast clients.
Low Throughput Seen on 1250 Series Access Points with 16 BSSIDs Configured
If your network uses 16 BSSIDs with 1- and 2-Mbps data rates, 1250 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 change the default behavior of access points requesting an IP
address from a DHCP server:
address from a DHCP server:
When you connect a 1130 or 1240 series access point or a 1300 series outdoor access point/bridge with
a default configuration to your LAN, the access point requests an IP address from your DHCP server
and, if it does not receive an address, continues to send requests indefinitely.
a default configuration to your LAN, the access point requests an IP address from your 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
In this release, 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.
