Cisco Cisco Aironet 1522 Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point デザインガイド

The Cisco wireless mesh network has four core components:

Cisco Aironet 1520, 1240, and 1130 Series mesh access points

Cisco Aironet 1505 and 1510 mesh access points are not supported in this release. 

Cisco wireless LAN controller (hereafter referred to as controller)

Cisco WCS

Mesh software architecture

In order to use indoor mesh access points (1130, 1240) with a 5500 series controller, a wplus license 
must be used on the controller. If an indoor mesh access point attempts to join a controller that is using 
only a base license (and not the wplus license), the following message appears in the controller trap log: 
“License Not Available for feature: IndoorMeshAP.” To view the controller trap log, choose Monitor 
and click View All under “Most Recent Traps” on the controller GUI.

Refer to Chapter 4 of the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide, Release 6.0 for 
information on obtaining and installing licenses: 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/6.0/configuration/guide/Controller60CG.html

Outdoor mesh access points (1522, 1524PS, and 1524SB) do not require a wplus license.

Other controller platforms (such as the 2100 and 4400 series controllers) also require a license for use 
with indoor mesh access points. Refer to the Cisco Enterprise Wireless Mesh Licensing and Ordering 
Guide:

Access points within a mesh network operate as either a root access point (RAP) or a mesh access point 
(MAP).

All mesh access points are shipped configured as a MAP. You must reconfigure the mesh access point 
for it to be a RAP. At least one RAP must exist in all mesh networks.

RAPs have wired connections to their controller, and MAPs have wireless connections to their controller.
