Cisco Catalyst 9115AXI-E Wireless Access Point, Wi-Fi 6, 4x4 MU-MIMO, Controller Managed, PoE, Internal antenna, (C9115AXI-E)

Product Information

When installing access points near other electrical or telecommunications equipment, keep all wiring and metal away from the antennas, and avoid placing the antennas near electrical lines. Do not route electrical wiring or Ethernet cables in the near field (6 to 15 inches) of the antenna. Try to refrain from installing the access point in the electrical closet, as the best place for the access point is as close to the users as possible and practical. If you remote antenna cables from such a closet, you may be required to use plenum-rated cable (see local fire and safety regulations for more on this). The default RF tag consists of the default 2.4-GHz RF profile and the default 5-GHz RF profile. These default profiles contain default values for the global RF profiles for the respective radios. The WLAN profile and policy profile are both part of a policy tag and define the characteristics and policy definitions of a set of WLANs. Multigigabit Ethernet support: Provides uplink speeds of 2.5 Gbps, in addition to 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps. All speeds are supported on Category 5e cabling for an industry first, as well as 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz) cabling.

Container support enables edge computing capabilities for IoT applications on the host access point. If you need to have more than 100 APs on the network, you can easily migrate your existing EWC network to a controller-based network, which can be Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series (appliance or virtual) or AireOS (3504, 5520, or 8540 wireless controller or virtual controller running 8.10.X software) The administrator user accounts are required for logging into the EWC controller to monitor and configure the wireless network. They can be configured with read/write or read-only privileges by going to the WLC main menu and then choosing Administration > User Administration > Add.

Decide on the first AP to set up. This AP must support Cisco EWC functionality. You can also connect multiple Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points running the EWC to the switch. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers / IEEE C 95.1 (99)

If no custom tags are needed, this step is not required, as default tags are associated with the APs. The 9115AX series device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. OFDMA-based scheduling splits the bandwidth into smaller frequency allocations called Resource Units (RUs), which can be assigned to individual clients in both the downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency. A port is a physical entity used to connect Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points to the network. Two RJ-45 ports are available on the 9100 access points:You can also apply or pass some AAA attributes to the WLAN tied to a specific policy profile by selecting the Allow AAA Override option under Advanced > AAA Policy.

If the AAA server settings are not configured on day 0, you can add an AAA/RADIUS server using the following steps.

Create the policy tag (if non-default needed) and map the SSIDs above to the policy profiles as required. In local mode, the AP creates two CAPWAP tunnels to the Cisco WLC, one for management and the other for data traffic. This is known as central switching because the data traffic is switched (bridged) from the AP to the controller where it is then routed.

For day-1 RADIUS configuration, please refer to the “Configuring the AAA/RADIUS Server” section of this guide. Note: Conversion from CAPWAP to EWC is supported from AireOS 8.10.105.0 or Cisco IOS XE 16.12.2s. The AP must have the 8.10.105.0 or 16.12.2 CAPWAP image or later on the 9100 access point before you can convert it to EWC.An interface is a logical entity on an EWC. The management interface must be configured and is used for in-band management: web UI, Telnet/SSH Command-Line Interface (CLI), or telemetry and programmable interface with NETCONF/YANG.
