What is a lightweight access point used for?
Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) is the name of a protocol that can control multiple Wi-Fi wireless access points at once. This can reduce the amount of time spent on configuring, monitoring or troubleshooting a large network. The system will also allow network administrators to closely analyze the network.
How do I know if my Cisco AP is lightweight or autonomous?
Autonomous APs have in their image name: K9W7 while Lightweight APs have K9W8. You can display the information using CLI command “show version” over Console / SSH / Telnet. If there is “LAP” or “CAP” in the part number, the AP is shipped in Lightweight mode.
What are the features of Cisco 3700 series access points?
The 3700 series provides high reliability and overall wireless performance. The 3700 series offers dual-band radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with integrated and external antenna options. The access points support full inter-operability with leading 802.11ac clients, and support a mixed deployment with other access points and controllers.
What kind of wifi does Cisco industrial wireless 3700 use?
Industrial, outdoor 802.11ac wireless connection The Cisco Industrial Wireless 3700 (IW3700) Series provides 802.11ac rates of up to 1.3 Gbps, mesh networking, and pervasive coverage in a compact form factor.
What kind of radio does a 3700 access point have?
The 3700 series access point contains two simultaneous dual-band radios, the 2.4-GHz MIMO radio and the 5-GHz 802.11ac MIMO radio. The 3700 series access point configurations are: AIR-CAP3702E-x-K9—two 2.4-GHz/5-GHz dual-band radios, up to 4 external dual-band diopole antennas
Is the Cisco Aironet access point compatible with CAPWAP?
The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with previous Cisco Aironet access points. LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP, and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. Deployments can combine CAPWAP and LWAPP software on the controllers.
