Cisco Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point Notas de publicación

The conversion tool should be used over Ethernet LANs and not over slower networks.

You must ensure that the same Ethernet and duplex settings are configured on all VxWorks access points, 
switches, and routers prior to beginning the conversion process. Different settings can result in 
inoperable access points that constantly power off and on.

The Cisco Aironet 350 access point conversion process can take up to 30 minutes.

Cisco IOS access points do not allow the radio interface to adopt the Ethernet port identity that 
allows the radio and Ethernet interfaces to use the same IP and MAC addresses. 

During the Cisco IOS conversion process, the radio interface MAC address for your access points might 
change from the original setting, resulting in lost repeater associations and failure of the hot standby 
option. This happens because Cisco IOS software does not support the VxWorks Adopt Primary Port 
Identity option for the radio interfaces. Before you begin the conversion process, Cisco recommends that 
you change your VxWorks configurations to disable the Adopt Primary Port Identity option and to use 
the actual radio interface MAC address in all repeater and hot standby configuration settings.

Because of differences between the configuration settings in your VxWorks access point and the 
Cisco IOS configuration settings, the conversion tool has the following limitations:

The configuration of a Policy Group on an SSID without a VLAN are not migrated.

A maximum of 100 Ethertype filters can be created.

Ethertype filters will not have associated names; instead, they will have associated numbers ranging 
from 200 to 299.

Separate filters are created for the Ethertype, IP port, and IP protocol filters that have been set to 
non-default priority. This may create multiple filters with the same numeric identifier, but the 
conversion tool inserts a numeric index to differentiate the filters.

Port filters, Protocol filters, Ethertype filters, and Policy Groups are created in the following format:

Port filter—IP access list extended <Port_Filter_Name> _ <Numeric_Value>

Protocol filter—IP access list extended <Protocol_Filter_Name> _ <Numeric_Value>

Ether filter—access-list <Numeric_Value> <permit or deny> <Protocol-Type>

Policy-Groups—policy-map_policy_ <Name>_<Policy_ID>

For BOOTP settings, DHCP settings are configured. Cisco recommends that you change your 
VxWorks configurations to use DHCP before you begin the Cisco IOS conversion process.

Only DHCP configuration settings with a Client Identifier type of Ethernet are migrated. All other 
Client Identifier types are discarded.

If DHCP is configured, the fall-back IP addresses are not configured.

Port assignments are not migrated.

The Hot Standby configuration settings are migrated only when the radio MAC addresses are 
entered on the conversion tool’s Device Configuration window. 

If the station role is configured as Client/NonRoot, the station role is migrated as Root.
