We're running AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9, for all of our APs. Pure 802.11n environment, and are processing 802.1x authentication through ACS 4.2 (on physical appliance) and ACS 5.1 running on VMware (we'll soon be transitioning the appliances to ACS 5.1.

We are looking to add a N subnet...what cisco lightweight model is recommended? We run wpa2 enterprise with tkip, peap and 802.11x for authentication. I want to compare the recommended from the list with our reseller. Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Phil Brutsche <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 07, 2010 6:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Subject: Re: cisco ap's The "n" refers to the 802.11 radio it is equipped with. In this case, 802.11n. A 802.11g access point would be a AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 or a AIR-AP1242G-A-K9. The "A" in the model number refers to the regional EM compliance for S-band microwave transmissions. Not everyone uses the same 11 channels we do in NA. "A" is for NA "E" is for EU "J" is for Japan The K9 means strong encryption - in the case of an access point 128-bit WEP, TKIP and AES. If it lacked strong encryption (generally encryption keys under 128-bit) it would be "K8". If you have a simple "K" then you do not have a complete part number. I guarantee that there is a "9" missing there. After the AP340 there was no such thing as a "K8" access point, and most certainly *not* a modern 802.11n unit. As you found out a AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9 is a lightweight access point, they expect you to use a wireless controller with it. andy <[email protected]> previously uttered: > Cisco aironet standalone ap-1142n-a-k9 > > On the cisco access points.... > > ap - standalone access point. > 1142 - model > n - n series > a- american? > > what does the K9 stand for? > > > is there a difference between > AIR-AP1142N-A-K > and > AIR-AP1142N-A-K9 > > I already got burned by the L. -- Phil Brutsche [email protected] ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.
