Important Notes
Unpowered 1100 Series Access Points Cause Loopback When Connected to Switches Without
Loopback Detection
Loopback Detection
When you connect an unpowered 1100 series access point to a switch without loopback detection, the
access point causes a loopback. To avoid this problem, make sure loopback detection is enabled on the
switch to which the access point is connected. If your switch does not have loopback detection,
disconnect the access point from the switch when the access point power is off.
