Unlike other Cisco Aironet APs (autonomous APs), the LAPs work in conjunction with the
WLC. The WLC manages the AP configurations and firmware.
Q. What is a Remote Edge AP (REAP)?
A. REAP mode enables a LAP to reside across a WAN link and still be able to communicate
with the WLC, and provides the functionality of a regular LAP. REAP mode is supported
only on the 1030 LAPs at this point. This functionality will be included on a broader range of
LAPs in the future. Refer to Remote Edge AP (REAP) with Lightweight APs and Wireless
LAN Controllers (WLCs) Configuration Example for more information on how to configure
REAP mode functionality.
Q. What are mesh APs?
A. The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Mesh AP is a dual radio platform that integrates Wi−Fi
client access and wireless backhaul in a rugged, outdoor enclosure. It is used to create
metropolitan−scale outdoor wireless networks, and to provide access to any Wi−Fi compliant
client. The 1500 Series can be deployed anywhere as long as power is available because it
uses a separate radio for backhauling traffic over wireless. The 1500 Series uses an intelligent
wireless routing algorithm to create a mesh network with other 1500 Series mesh APs. The
wireless mesh network self−organizes, and self−heals to create and maintain optimal
performance in the face of a changing network and environmental conditions.
Q. Where can I find information on the power options available for Cisco
Aironet APs and bridges?
A. Refer to Cisco Aironet and WLAN Controller Product Power Options. This document
discusses the power options available on the various models of Cisco Wireless devices.
Q. I would like to buy Cisco Aironet APs for my new WLAN
