C H A P T E R Overview The Cisco Aironet Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point series access point is available in autonomous and lightweight configurations. The autonomous access points can support standalone network configurations with all configuration settings maintained within the access points. The lightweight access points operate in conjunction with a Cisco wireless LAN controller with all configuration information maintained within the controller.
Page 18
The lightweight access point contains one integrated radio: a 2.4-GHz radio (IEEE 802.11g). Using a controller, you can configure the radio settings. In the Cisco Centralized Wireless LAN architecture, access points operate in the lightweight mode (as opposed to autonomous mode). The lightweight access points associate to a controller. The controller manages the configuration, firmware, and controls transactions such as 802.1x authentication.
100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the back of the access point. Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide OL-4309-07...

Figure 1-4 shows an autonomous access point acting as a repeater. Consult the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting up an access point as a repeater. Non-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with repeater access points.
Workgroup Bridge Configuration When configured in the workgroup bridge mode, the autonomous unit provides a wireless connection for remote wired devices to a Cisco Aironet access point or to a Cisco Aironet bridge. Figure 1-6, the unit is configured in workgroup bridge mode and is associated to a Cisco Aironet access point as a wireless client device.
Network Example with Lightweight Access Points Figure 1-7, the autonomous unit is configured in workgroup bridge mode and is associated to a Cisco Aironet root bridge as a wireless bridge device. This configuration allows the Ethernet-enabled devices pass Ethernet traffic to and from the main LAN using the workgroup bridge. The main advantage of this configuration is that the wireless communication link can be over a longer distance than an access point supports.

Note 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 lightweight access points use the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point’s DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60).
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”...
