Configuring Ethernet Encapsulation Transformation Method on an Access Point

Perform this task to configure the encapsulation transformation method.
Encapsulation Types
When the AP receives data packets that are not 802.3 packets, the AP must format the packets to 802.3
using an encapsulation transformation method. These are the two transformation methods:
•
•
dot1h (802.1H)—This method provides optimum performance for Cisco Aironet wireless products.
RFC 1042—Use this setting to ensure interoperability with non-Cisco Aironet wireless equipment.
RFC 1042 does not provide the interoperability advantages of 802.1H but is used by other
manufacturers of wireless equipment. This is the default setting.

Purpose
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted.
•
Enters global configuration mode.
Enters radio interface configuration mode.
The interface argument is in module/slot/port format,
•
except for the Cisco 800 series and Cisco 1800 series
fixed-configuration routers, where the interface
argument is either 0 or 1.
The 2.4-GHz radio is port 0, and the 5-GHz radio is
•
port 1.
Disables Aironet extensions.
Use the dot11 extension aironet command to enable
•
Aironet extensions if they are disabled.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
