Cisco Cisco 4404 Wireless LAN Controller Manual Técnico

Every wireless LAN deployment is different. A proper Antenna must be identified based on the 
requirements and the environment in which the wireless is deployed. 

Cisco has a wide range of 2.4 as well as 5 GHz Antennas to meet different requirements. The Antennas 
come with N-type connectors that are fully compatible with 1520 Access points.  

The Cisco antennas are available with different gain and range capabilities, beam widths, and form 
factors. When you couple the appropriate antenna and access point, it allows for efficient coverage in 
any facility, as well as better reliability at higher data rates. Refer to 

Cisco Aironet Antennas and 

Accessories Reference Guide

 for more information about the Antennas and supported access points. 

This section illustrates the steps to build a mesh network from scratch. In the image, a Layer 3 and Layer 
2 network are established and connectivity between the controller and switch is tested with a login to the 
controller from an Ethernet attached computer.  

Note:  ONLY https://x.x.x.x is supported by default. 

  

Now the network is ready to be populated with access points. In this image, a Cisco Mesh access point 
LAP1524 is connected to the Cisco Layer 2/3 switch. Ensure that the access point has joined the 
controller. On the first instance of joining a controller the access point is by default a Mesh access point 
(MAP). Ensure that the configuration of the access point is changed to a Root /Roof top access point
