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

Product Information

Supporting two spatial streams, MU-MIMO enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices to maximize throughput.

For more details about Catalyst 9124AX Series feature support, see Cisco's Feature Matrix on Wi-Fi 6. The switch port to which the 9100 access point is connected can be a trunk port or an access port. If multiple VLANs are being used for client traffic, the switch port should be configured to trunk the VLANs. Also note that management traffic is untagged, and if a VLAN is being used for management, it should be configured as a native VLAN on the switch port. To ensure compliance with various national and international Electromagnetic Field (EMF) standards, the system should only be operated with Cisco approved antennas and accessories.Both the Cisco Catalyst 9115AX and 9120AX Series access points share the same AP image file – ap1g7 – while the 9117AX Series image is ap1g6 and C9130 Series AP image is ap1g6a, which is included as part of the C9800-AP-universalk9..zip file. For HTTP transfer mode, specify the path to the access point image file on your local machine. All access points, including the active AP in a EWC network, should be in the same Layer 2 broadcast domain.

There is no concept of standby on day 0. On day 0, you will have only one active EWC. If the active EWC goes down for some reason, VRRP election will take place again, to elect a new EWC. The active EWC and standby EWC are elected by the process described above. But if for some reason you want to select another AP to be the active EWC, you can do so with the Make Controller option. You need to configure it as a preferred controller first before using this option. When you select an AP that is not the current active EWC to become the controller, the new AP becomes the active EWC after a reload, and the current EWC will become the new standby. OFDMA-based scheduling splits the bandwidth into smaller chunks called Resource Units (RUs), which can be allocated to individual clients in both the downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency.

A new power-saving mode called Target Wake Time (TWT) allows the client to stay asleep and to wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the access point. This offers significant energy savings for battery-operated devices, up to 3x to 4x the savings achieved by 802.11n and 802.11ac. FCC Bulletin 56: Questions and Answers about Biological Effects and Potential Hazards of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields Monitor—In 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). The IEEE 802.11ax emerging standard, also known as High-Efficiency-Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It will deliver a better experience in typical environments and more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density, high-definition collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and IoT. 802.11ax is designed to use both the 2.4-Ghz and 5-GHz bands, unlike the 802.11ac standard.

Spatial reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) allows the access points and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions. The System Message logging feature logs system events to a remote server called a syslog server. Each system event triggers a syslog message that contains the details of the event. 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: Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. 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.Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst Access Points: Indoor environments, with internal antennas. The policy profile defines the network policies and the switching policies for a client, with the exception of QoS, which constitutes the AP policies as well. The policy profile is a reusable entity across tags. Anything that is a policy for the client applied on the AP/controller is moved to the policy profile. For example, VLAN, Access Control List (ACL), QoS, session timeout, idle timeout, Application Visibility and Control (AVC) profile, Bonjour profile, local profiling, device classification, etc. The switching policies define the central switching or local switching attribute of a WLAN. Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller: The 9115 Wi-Fi 6 access points are available with a built-in controller. The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst 9100 Access Points provides an easy-to-deploy and manage option that does not require a physical appliance. The control resides on the access point, so there is no added footprint or complexity. And because it uses Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series code, it’s easy to migrate your network as your needs grow. Embedded Wireless Controller functionality is not supported on the Wi-Fi 6E Access Points.
