C H A P T E R Overview The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point (hereafter called the access point) is a wireless device designed for wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point is a standalone unit that can be mounted on a streetlight pole or on a building wall or overhang.access point...

48 VDC inline power-over-Ethernet (PoE) AC power • Inline PoE is provided by a shielded Ethernet cable using the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR- PWRINJ1500=), hereafter called the power injector. Caution To provide inline PoE, you must use the power injector (AIR- PWRINJ1500=) specified for the access point.
4-ft (1.2-m) streetlight power tap adapter (AIR-PWR-ST-LT-TAP=) for light pole installations in the US and Canada. Note For important safety instructions for AC power cords, refer to the AC Power Cords for Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Points document that shipped with your AC power cords.
MAPs may also have a wired Ethernet connection to a local LAN and serve as a bridge endpoint for that LAN (using a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge connection). MAPs also support wireless clients on the band not used for the backhaul interface. Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide OL-9977-05...
Wireless client access is supported; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-Ghz wireless coverage area may be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access.

MAC addresses rather than IP addresses. Layer 2 configurations are typically not scalable into larger networks. Additionally, Layer 2 operation is supported only by the Cisco 4400 series controllers. Access points and controllers in Layer 3 configurations use IP addresses and UDP packets, which can be routed through large networks.

IP packets. Layer 3 operation is scalable and is recommended by Cisco. A Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the controller requires a DHCP server on the access point subnet and a route to the controller. The route to the controller must have destination UDP ports 12222 and 12223 open for LWAPP communications.
MAP. Add the MAP’s MAC address to the controller’s filter list and check Enable Zero Tough Configuration. When the misconfigured MAP displays on the controller’s Summary page, you can properly configure the access point.

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. Cisco Aironet 1000 and 1500 series access points use a comma-separated string format for DHCP Option 43. Other Cisco Aironet access points use the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43.
43 ascii “Comma Separated IP Address List” For example, if you are configuring option 43 for Cisco 1000 series access points using the controller IP addresses 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2, add the following line to the DHCP pool in the Cisco IOS CLI: option 43 ascii “10.126.126.2,10.127.127.2”...
