This guide also provides mounting instructions and troubleshooting information. Note that the C9130AX series access point is referred to as the access point or the AP in this document. 2 About the Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Wireless Access Point The Cisco Catalyst 9130AX series wireless access point is a dual-band, dual-concurrent, enterprise 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) AP. This AP series has two models, one with integrated antennas and the other with external antennas, which are designed to use both 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands. This AP series supports a greater overall High Density Experience
(HDX), which provides a more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K videos, high-density and high-definition collaboration applications, all-wireless offices, and Internet-of-Things (IoT). The AP supports full interoperability with leading 802.11ax and 802.11ac clients, along with a mixed deployment with other APs and controllers. These APs provide integrated security, resiliency and operational flexibility as well as increased network intelligence. A full listing of the AP's features and specifications are provided in the Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Point Data Sheet, at the following URL:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/nb-06-cat-9130-ser-ap
-ds-cte-en.html Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Wireless Access Point Features The C9130AX series AP is a wireless controller-based product, and supports:
Four radios, a dual-band 5 GHz (8x8) flexible radio with 2.4 GHz and 4x4 5 GHz, a single-band 5 GHz radio, and an omni IoT radio that can be used with BLE, Zigbee, Thread and other multi-protocol 802.15.4 devices Four dual-band and four single-band 5 GHz integrated antennas on the C9130AXI AP models (C9130AXI-x and C9130AXI-EWC-x). Note The x in the model numbers represents the regulatory domain. For information on supported regulatory domains, see theAP Model Numbers and Regulatory Domains section on page 5. Integrated internal antennas that are omni directional in azimuth, for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. External antennas on the C9130AXE AP model (C9130AXE-x and C9130AXE-EWC-x). Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology for uplink and downlink. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based scheduling for both uplink and downlink. Multigigabit Ethernet (mGig) The following hardware external interfaces:
1x100/1000/2500/5000 Multigigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) RS-232 Console Interface through RJ-45 Recovery push button (enables partial or full system configuration recovery) USB 2.0 Port 3 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points One multi-color LED Status indicator. see the Self-Identifying Antennas section on page 30 for information on the colors of the LED status indicator. Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio to enable IoT use cases such as location tracking and wayfinding. Cisco RF ASIC, a fully integrated Software Defined Radio (SDR), that can perform advanced RF spectrum analysis and delivers features like CleanAir, Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), and DFS detection. Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco DNA Center with deep analysis. Spatial Reuse (also known as Basic Service Set (BSS) coloring) which allows APs and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions. New power savings mode called Target Wake Time (TWT) which allows the client to stay asleep and wake up only at pre-scheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This provides significant energy savings for battery-operated devices. Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) support enables Cisco DNA Spaces, Apple FastLane and Cisco Identity Services Engine. Optimized AP Roaming for ensuring that client devices associate with the AP in their coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available. Cisco CleanAir technology enhanced with 160MHz channel support. CleanAir delivers proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, and 80-, and 160-MHz-wide channels to combat performance problems arising from wireless interference. The AP supports both Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller and lightweight deployments (using Cisco Wireless Controllers). The AP also supports the following operating modes:
LocalThis is the default mode for the Cisco AP. In this mode, the AP serves clients. 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. FlexConnectIn FlexConnect mode (previously known as HREAP), the data traffic is switched locally and is not sent to the controller. In this mode, the Cisco AP behaves like an autonomous AP, but is managed by the Cisco WLC. Here, the AP continues to function even if connection to the controller is lost. MonitorIn the monitor mode, specified Cisco APs can exclude themselves from handling data traffic between clients and the infrastructure. These APs act as dedicated sensors for location based services (LBS), rogue AP detection, and intrusion detection (IDS). When APs are in monitor mode, they actively monitor the airwaves and typically do not serve clients. SnifferIn the wireless sniffer mode, the AP starts sniffing the air on a given channel. It captures and forwards all the packets from the clients on that channel to a remote machine that runs Airopeek or Wireshark (packet analyzers for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs). This includes information on the time stamp, signal strength, packet size, etc. Note In the sniffer mode, the server to which the data is sent should be on the same VLAN as the wireless controller management VLAN otherwise an error will be displayed. 4 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points AP Model Numbers and Regulatory Domains AP Type Access Point for indoor environments, with internal antennas Model Number C9130AXI-x C9130AXI-EWC-x Access Point for indoor environments, with external antennas C9130AXE-x C9130AXE-EWC-x Details Dual-band, controller-based 802.11ax C9130AXI-x with a Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller software image Dual-band, controller-based 802.11ax C9130AXE-x with a Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller software image You need to verify whether the AP model you have is approved for use in your country.

Note Always connect the antennas to the AP before powering the AP up. Enabling the AP radios without connecting the antennas can result in damage to the AP. 22 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points 6 Preparing the AP for Installation Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point. You should have the following information about your wireless network available:
Access point locations. Access point mounting options: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a desk top. Note You can mount the access point above a suspended ceiling but you must purchase additional mounting hardware: See Mounting the Access Point section on page 27 for additional information. Access point power options: 802.3at (PoE+) (Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ6=), 802.3af (Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ5=), Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE). Note If 802.3af is used, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios will be reduced to 1x1 and Ethernet will be downgraded to 1 GbE. The USB port will also be off. Operating temperature:
C9130AXI: 32122F (050C) Note When installing the C9130AXI in an environment where the ambient temperature is in the range of 104122F (>4050C), the access point configuration will change from 8x8 to 4x4 on the 5 GHz radios and the uplink Ethernet will downgrade to 1GbE. However, the USB port will remain enabled. C9130AXE: -4122F (-2050C) Console access using the console port:
We recommend the use of one meter or lesser length console cable. The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable (not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one meter in length. Note Cisco recommends that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless network. 7 Installation Overview Installing the access point involves these operations:
Step 1 Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration, page 25 (optional) Step 2 Mounting the Access Point, page 27 23 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points Step 3 Grounding the Access Point, page 28 Step 4 Preparing the AP for Installation, page 23 24 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points 8 Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration The following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as expected. This procedure is optional. Note Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure. If your network controller is properly configured, you can install your access point in its final location and connect it to the network from there. See the Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network section on page 30 for details. The pre-installation configuration setup is illustrated in Figure 15. Figure 15 Pre-Installation Configuration Setup To perform pre-installation configuration, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco Wireless Controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the procedure for CLI or web-browser interface as described in the appropriate Cisco Wireless Controller guide. a. Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco Wireless Controller Management and AP-Manager Interface. b. Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach. See the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for the release you are using, for additional information. c. Set the Cisco Wireless Controller as the master so that new access points always join with it. 25 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points d. Make sure DHCP is enabled on the network. The access point must receive its IP address through DHCP. Note An 802.11ax Cisco AP will be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server only if a default router
(gateway) is configured on the DHCP server (enabling the AP to receive its gateway IP address) and the gateway ARP is resolved. e. CAPWAP UDP ports must not be blocked in the network. f. The access point must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, refer to the product documentation. See also the Configuring DHCP Option 43 section on page 33 for more information. Note The access point requires a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic because wireless traffic speeds exceed transmit speeds of a 10/100 Ethernet port. Step 2 For C9130AXI, proceed to Step 3. For C9130AXE, connect the antennas to the AP before powering the AP up. Enabling the AP radios without connecting the antennas can result in damage to the AP. Step 3 Apply power to the access point. See Grounding the Access Point, page 28. a. As the access point attempts to connect to the controller, the LED cycles through a green, red, and off sequence, which can take up to 5 minutes. Note If the access point remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the access point is unable to find the Master Cisco Wireless Controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller and be sure that they are on the same subnet. b. If the access point shuts down, check the power source. c. After the access point finds the Cisco Wireless Controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code if the access point code version differs from the Cisco Wireless Controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks blue. d. If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots. Step 4 Configure the access point if required. Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure to customize the access-point-specific 802.11ax network settings. Step 5 If the pre-installation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green indicating normal operation. Disconnect the access point and mount it at the location at which you intend to deploy it on the wireless network. Step 6 If your AP does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the pre-installation configuration. Note When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the Cisco Wireless Controller, be sure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you will be installing the access point, and that the subnet has a route back to the Cisco Wireless Controller. Also be sure that the route back to the Cisco Wireless Controller has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications. Ensure that the route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controller allows IP packet fragments. Finally, be sure that if address translation is used, that the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. (Port Address Translation is not supported.) 26 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points 9 Mounting the Access Point Cisco Catalyst 9130AX series access points can be mounted in several configurations on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.

When mounting the AP in areas where there is a possibility of the AP being knocked off the mounting bracket, use the lock hasp on the back of the AP (see Figure 16) to lock it to the bracket. 27 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points Figure 16 Locking the AP to the Bracket 1 Position of the hasps for the locks on the back of the AP 10 Grounding the Access Point Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 Grounding is not required for indoor installations. However, while using the C9130AXE AP model, if the external antenna is placed outdoors, you must connect the outdoor antenna cable to a lightning arrestor and connect the lightning arrestor to ground. For supported external antennas, see List of External Antennas Supported on C9130AXE. The outdoor antenna connection must be grounded in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical code
(NEC), Article 800, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable. Warning To reduce the risk of electric shock, the shield of the coaxial cable must be connected to the building earth. Statement 1253 28 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points 11 Powering the Access Point Note Always connect the antennas to the C9130AXE before powering the AP up. Enabling the AP radios without connecting the antennas can result in damage to the AP. The AP can be powered only through Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) using the following:
802.3at (PoE+): Any 802.3at (30.0 W) compliant switch port or Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ6=
802.3af: Any 802.3af (15.4 W) compliant switch port or Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ5=
Note If 802.3af is used, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios will be reduced to 1x1 and Ethernet will be downgraded to 1 GbE. The USB port will also be off. 802.3bt: Any 802.3bt compliant switch port Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE) 12 Configuring and Deploying the Access Point This section describes how to connect the access point to a controller. Because the configuration process takes place on the controller, see the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for additional information. The Controller Discovery Process Note
The controller must be running release 8.9.111.0 or IOS-XE 16.12.1 to support C9130AXI or 8.10.105.0 or IOS-XE 17.1.1 to support C9130AXE. For more information, visit the access point data sheet available on Cisco.com at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/guide-c07-742311. html
You cannot edit or query any access point using the controller CLI if the name of the access point contains a space.
Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may not be valid for that time. Access points must be discovered by a controller before they can become an active part of the network. The access point supports these controller discovery processes:
Locally stored controller IP address discoveryIf the access point was previously joined to a controller, the IP addresses of the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers are stored in the access point non-volatile memory. This process of storing controller IP addresses on an access point for later deployment is called priming the access point. For more information about priming, see the Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration section on page 25. DHCP server discoveryThis feature uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP addresses to the access points. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option that is typically used for this capability. For more information about DHCP option 43, see the Configuring DHCP Option 43 section on page 33. 29 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points DNS discoveryThe access point can discover controllers through your domain name server (DNS). For the access point to do so, you must configure your DNS to return controller IP addresses in response to CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain, where localdomain is the access point domain name. Configuring the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER provides backwards compatibility in an existing customer deployment. When an access point receives an IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server, it contacts the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When the DNS sends a list of controller IP addresses, the access point sends discovery requests to the controllers. Deploying the Access Point on the Wireless Network After you have mounted the access point, follow these steps to deploy it on the wireless network:
Step 1 Connect and power up the access point. Step 2 Observe the access point LED (for LED descriptions, see Self-Identifying Antennas section on page 30). a. When you power up the access point, it begins a power-up sequence that you can verify by observing the access point LED. If the power-up sequence is successful, the discovery and join process begins. During this process, the LED blinks sequentially green, red, and off. When the access point has joined a controller, the LED is green if no clients are associated or blue if one or more clients are associated. b. c. If the LED is not on, the access point is most likely not receiving power. If the LED blinks sequentially for more than 5 minutes, the access point is unable to find its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco Wireless Controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller, and be sure the access point and the Cisco Wireless Controller are either on the same subnet or that the access point has a route back to its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco Wireless Controller. Also, if the access point is not on the same subnet as the Cisco Wireless Controller, be sure that there is a properly configured DHCP server on the same subnet as the access point. See the Configuring DHCP Option 43 section on page 33 for additional information. Step 3 Reconfigure the Cisco Wireless Controller so that it is not the master. Note A master Cisco Wireless Controller should be used only for configuring access points and not in a working network. 13 Self-Identifying Antennas The C9130AXE AP supports Self-Identifying Antennas with 8-port DART connectors. When the C9130AXE AP is powered up with a 8-port DART Self-Identifying Antenna connected to it, the APs circuitry reads the EEPROM in the Self-Identifying Antenna. This enables the AP to automatically configure the antenna gain and beamwidth. Antennas with RP-TNC and N-type connectors (see List of External Antennas Supported on C9130AXE) can be connected to the C9130AXE AP using an AIR-CAB002-D8-R= (RP-TNC) or AIR-CAB003-D8-N= (N-type). When using the RP-TNC adapter, the C9130AXE AP sets the antenna gain to 6 dBi. When using the N-type adapter, the C9130AXE AP sets the antenna gain to 13 dBi. When using either adapter, connectors A, B, C, and D provide dual-band functionality. Connectors E, F, G, and H provide 5 GHz functionality. Additionally, connector H connects to the BLE radio. When using the breakout cables and connecting to legacy dual-band antennas, the BLE radio will experience the gain of that antenna at 2.4 GHz. As an accessory, a three-foot extension cable (AIR-CAB003-D8-D8=) is available for installations where a longer cable is required to connect the C9130AXE with any of the supported SIA antennae. 30 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points Note
Always connect the external antennas to the C9130AXE model before powering the AP up. Enabling the AP radios without connecting the antennas can result in damage to the AP. Note
Using the extension cable may lead to an increase in Tx and Rx RF signal loss. 14 Checking the Access Point LEDs The location of the access point status LED is shown in Figure 1. Note Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturers specifications and is not a defect. However, the intensity of the LED can be changed through the controller. The access point status LED indicates various conditions and are described in Table 3. The LED status is also indicated by the C-ANT91xx antennas. Table 3 LED Status Indications Message Type LED State Message Meaning Association status Green Blue Normal operating condition, but no wireless client associated Normal operating condition, at least one wireless client association Boot loader status Green Executing boot loader Boot loader error Blinking Green Boot loader signing verification failure Operating status Blinking Blue Software upgrade in progress Alternating between Green and Red Discovery/join process in progress Access point operating system errors Cycling through Red-Off-Green-Off-Blue-Off General warning; insufficient inline power 15 Miscellaneous Usage and Configuration Guidelines Using the Mode Button Using the Mode button (see Figure 2) you can:
Reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration. Clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files. To use the mode button, press, and keep pressed, the mode button on the access point during the AP boot cycle. Wait until the AP console shows a seconds counter. Once the counter indicates the number of seconds the mode button is pressed, the AP status LED changes to blinking red. Then:
31 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points To reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration, keep the mode button pressed for less than 20 seconds. The AP configuration files are cleared. This resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID. To clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files, keep the mode button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds. Note If the mode button is pressed for more than 30 seconds but less than 60 seconds, the FIPS mode flag is also cleared during the full factory reset of the AP. The FIPS flag when set disables console access. The AP status LED changes from Blue to Red, and all the files in the AP storage directory are cleared. If you keep the mode button pressed for more than 60 seconds, the mode button is assumed faulty and no changes are made. Troubleshooting the Access Point to Cisco Controller Join Process Note As specified in the Cisco Wireless Solutions Software Compatibility Matrix, ensure that your controller is running controller software release 8.9.111.0 or IOS-XE 16.12.1 or later to support C9130AXI or 8.10.105.0 or IOS-XE 16.12.2 or later to support C9130AXE. Access points can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a RADIUS authorization is pending; self-signed certificates are not enabled on the controller; the access point and the controller regulatory domains dont match, and so on. Controller software enables you to configure the access points to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. You do not need to enable any debug commands on the controller because all of the CAPWAP error messages can be viewed from the syslog server itself. The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller until it receives a CAPWAP join request from the access point. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine why the CAPWAP discovery request from a certain access point was rejected. In order to troubleshoot such joining problems without enabling CAPWAP debug commands on the controller, the controller collects information for all access points that send a discovery message to it and maintains information for any access points that have successfully joined it. The controller collects all join-related information for each access point that sends a CAPWAP discovery request to the controller. Collection begins with the first discovery message received from the access point and ends with the last configuration payload sent from the controller to the access point. When the controller is maintaining join-related information for the maximum number of access points, it does not collect information for any more access points. An access point sends all syslog messages to IP address 255.255.255.255 by default. You can also configure a DHCP server to return a syslog server IP address to the access point using option 7 on the server. The access point then starts sending all syslog messages to this IP address. When the access point joins a controller for the first time, the controller sends the global syslog server IP address (the default is 255.255.255.255) to the access point. After that, the access point sends all syslog messages to this IP address until it is overridden by one of the following scenarios:
The access point is still connected to the same controller, and the global syslog server IP address configuration on the controller has been changed using the config ap syslog host global syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new global syslog server IP address to the access point. 32 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points The access point is still connected to the same controller, and a specific syslog server IP address has been configured for the access point on the controller using the config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new specific syslog server IP address to the access point. The access point is disconnected from the controller and joins another controller. In this case, the new controller sends its global syslog server IP address to the access point. Whenever a new syslog server IP address overrides the existing syslog server IP address, the old address is erased from persistent storage, and the new address is stored in its place. The access point also starts sending all syslog messages to the new IP address provided the access point can reach the syslog server IP address. You can configure the syslog server for access points and view the access point join information only from the controller CLI. Important Information for Controller-based Deployments Keep these guidelines in mind when you use C9130AX series access point:
The access point can only communicate with Cisco wireless controllers. The access point does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access point joins it. CAPWAP does not support Layer 2. The access point must get an IP address and discover the controller using Layer 3, DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. The access point console port is enabled for monitoring and debug purposes. All configuration commands are disabled when the access point is connected to a controller. Configuring DHCP Option 43 You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling them to find and join a controller. The following is a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for use with Cisco Catalyst lightweight access points. For other DHCP server implementations, consult product documentation for configuring DHCP Option 43. In Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface. Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type. The C9130AX series access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 43). The VCI string for the C9130AX series access point is:
Cisco AP C9130AX The format of the TLV block is listed below:
Type0xf1 (decimal 241) LengthNumber of controller IP addresses * 4 ValueIP addresses of the WLC management interfaces listed sequentially in hex 33 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points To configure DHCP Option 43 in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS CLI. Step 2 Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server. A DHCP scope example is as follows:
ip dhcp pool <pool name>
network <IP Network> <Netmask>
default-router <Default router>
dns-server <DNS Server>
Where:
<pool name> is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP9130AX
<IP Network> is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1
<Netmask> is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0
<Default router> is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1
<DNS Server> is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2 Step 3 Add the option 43 line using the following syntax:
option 43 hex <hex string>
The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values shown below:
Type + Length + Value For example, suppose that there are two controllers with management interface IP addresses, 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2. The type is f1(hex). The length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex). The IP addresses translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. Assembling the string then yields f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. The resulting Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. 16 FAQs What is 802.11ax?
The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as the High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds off of the 802.11ac and delivers a better experience in typical environments, and a more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density high-definition collaboration applications, all-wireless offices and Internet-of-Things (IoT). 802.11ax is designed to use both 2.4Ghz and the 5GHz bands, unlike prior standards. What are Self Identifying Antennas?
Self-Identifying Antennas with 8-port DART connectors are a new set of external, dual-band antennas that are supported with specific 802.11ax APs like the 9130AXE model. These new antennas are based on currently existing Cisco antennas. Before the introduction of Self Identifying Antennas, the wireless controller and network management system had to be manually provisioned with antenna details like the type of antenna connected to the AP and the antennas gain values. With these new antennas and adapters (AIR-CAB002-D8-R= and AIR-CAB003-D8-N=) to support legacy antennas, the AP can automatically detect and identify the external antenna and configure these values without user intervention. 34 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points What is Flexible Radio Assignment?
The Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) feature automatically detects when a high number of devices are connected to a network and changes the dual radios in the access point from 2.4 GHz/5 GHz to 5 GHz/5 GHz to serve more clients. The access point performs this function while still monitoring the network for security threats and RF Interference that may affect performance. Flexible Radio Assignment improves mobile user experience for high-density networks. FRA has the different modes of operation:
Default operating modeServing Clients on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual 5 GHz ModeServing clients on both 5 GHz Radios Wireless Security MonitoringScanning both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz for security threats while also serving 5 GHz clients What is a Smart Antenna connector?
The C9130AXE model has a Smart antenna connector (see Figure 17), which is connected directly to the flexible radio. Without a supported external antenna connected to the Smart Antenna connector, the flexible radio can stay only in 2.4 GHz mode. To connect any supported RP-TNC connector-type external antenna to the Smart antenna connector, use the DART cable connector AIR-CAB002-D8-R= (see Figure 18), which is to be procured separately from Cisco. To connect any supported N connector-type external antenna to the Smart antenna connector, use the DART cable connector AIR-CAB003-D8-N= (see Figure 19), which is to be procured separately from Cisco. Figure 17 Smart Antenna Connector C9130AXE Model 35 Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points Figure 18 AIR-CAB002-D8-R= DART Connector Figure 19 AIR-CAB003-D8-N= DART Connector What is Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet?
Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet (mGig) is a unique Cisco innovation also available in the Cisco Catalyst 9130AX series access point. With the increasing popularity of 802.11ax and new wireless applications, wireless devices now require more network bandwidth. Hence, there is a need for a technology that supports speeds higher than 1 Gbps on all cabling infrastructure. Cisco Multigigabit technology allows you to achieve bandwidth speeds from 1 to 10 Gbps over traditional Cat 5e cabling or newer. The C9130AX AP supports up to 5 Gbps using mGig.

FCC ID: LDKCNWLI2637, Model: C9130AXI-B This project is a Permissive Change II submission because Cisco Systems, Inc. Use the third radar engine in C9130AXI-B by allowing additional DFS functions. Please refer to following for detailed information:
Radio SoC used in C9130AXI-B has 3 radar detection engines. We were using two of those engines to support DFS in Tri-Radio/dual-5G mode. For this feature we are using the third engine. For example:
- First 5G radio (5G1) serving clients on channel 52
- Second 5G radio (5G2) is serving clients on channel 100 We use 2 radar engines to detect radars on these two serving channels. Suppose we want to move 5G1 to channel 64, then we tune the third radar engine to channel 64 and run CAC for 60 seconds. If No radar is found, then we move 5G1 to channel 64. While testing third engine for Radar detection on channel 64 during CAC, we run 18%
downlink traffic on 5G1 QA-FR-174-A For the testing procedure, we based on the TCB Workshop Slides as the guidance (from April 11, 2018, presentation covering Zero Wait DFS presented by Dusmantha Tennakoon) 1. Configure the EUT for current channel with downlink traffic (greater than 17%
duty cycle) to the client 2. Send the off-channel pre-CAC command for the future channel 3. Start statistics test on future channel (without configuring the EUT to the future channel), while data is transmitting on the current channel. a. Monitor console communications for detection messages on the future channel 4. Run 30 trials 5. Record the results Based on the above information and testing procedure, we confirmed above modifications didnt affect the RF sections. QA-FR-174-A We affirm that between BACL and Cisco Systems, Inc., any difference in understanding, including test plan, measurement methods, applicable standards and relevant procedures and processes have been resolved prior to commencement of testing activities. This authorization is valid until further written notice from the applicant.
