Low Distribution Price. Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point, 802.11g, Integrated Antennas, FCC Configuration

The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series extends end-to-end intelligent networking to the wireless access point. Cisco command-line interface (CLI) allows customers to quickly and consistently implement the extended capabilities available in Cisco IOS Software. Customers can manage and standardize their networks using tools they have developed internally for their Cisco routers and switches.

An ideal choice for enterprise installations, the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series supports enterprise-class virtual LANs (VLANs), quality of service (QoS) and proxy mobile IP. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series can manage up to 16 VLANs (Figure 2), which allows customers to differentiate LAN policies and services, such as security and QoS, for different users. For example, enterprise customers can use different VLANs to segregate employee traffic from guest traffic, and further segregate those traffic groups from high-priority voice traffic. Traffic to and from wireless clients with varying security capabilities can be segregated into VLANs with varying security policies. Another example would be educational institutions that use VLANs to secure faculty and administrator traffic from student traffic traveling over the same infrastructure. Implementing VLAN segmentation increases wireless LAN manageability and security.

With support for 802.1p QoS, the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series provides traffic prioritization for packets traveling to and from the access point over Ethernet. Delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice and video, can be prioritized over data traffic for improved user experience and optimal network utilization. Software and radio firmware upgrades allow upgrades to future QoS standards such as 802.11e. Supporting the voice prioritization schemes for 802.11b mobile phones, the Aironet 1100 Series further enables quality voice-over-wireless-LAN solutions.

With proxy mobile IP, users can maintain seamless network connectivity as they roam across subnets. The proxy mobile IP feature creates a tunnel between routers on the remote network and the user's home network. This allows users to consistently maintain their home IP address and access to their home network applications as they roam beyond their home subnet. Proxy mobile IP also enhances a mobile IP-enabled network by enabling subnet roaming capabilities on IEEE 802.11 clients so that these devices do not need specialized mobile IP client software, resulting in additional cost-savings. These proxy mobile IP features enable IT professionals to use their existing IP addressing scheme to cost-effectively design the wireless LAN in a manner more consistent with the wired LAN, while still maintaining user mobility.

Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network

The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series is a key component of the Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN). Cisco SWAN is an innovative, comprehensive Cisco framework for deploying, operating, and managing hundreds to thousands of Cisco Aironet access points using the Cisco infrastructure. Cisco SWAN extends to the wireless LAN the same level of security, scalability, and reliability that customers have come to expect in their wired LAN by introducing "wireless-aware" capabilities into the Cisco infrastructure.

Wireless domain services (WDS) is introduced with Cisco SWAN. WDS is a collection of Cisco IOS Software features that expand WLAN client mobility, simplify WLAN deployment and management and enhance WLAN security. These services, supported on access points and client devices today and on specific Cisco LAN switches and routers in 2004, include radio management aggregation, fast secure roaming and WAN link remote site survivability. WDS radio management aggregation supports radio frequency (RF) managed services such as rogue access point detection, interference detection and assisted site surveys.

To take advantage of the innovative features of the 1100 Series, not only can Cisco client adapters be used, but now a wide variety of Cisco Compatible devices are available from leading WLAN client suppliers. For example, fast secure roaming is supported by the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series in conjunction with Cisco or Cisco Compatible client devices. With fast secure roaming, authenticated client devices can roam securely from one access point to another without any perceptible delay during reassociation. Fast secure roaming supports latency-sensitive applications such as wireless voice over IP (VoIP), enterprise resource planning (ERP), or Citrix-based solutions (Figure 3).

WAN link remote site survivability allows the access point to act as a local RADIUS server to IEEE 802.1X authenticate wireless clients when the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server is not available. This provides remote site survivability and backup authentication services during a WAN link or server failure allowing users in remote site deployments with nonredundant WAN links access to local resources such as file servers or printers (Figure 4).

Enterprise-Class Security Solution

Wireless LAN security is a primary concern. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series secures the enterprise network with a scalable and manageable system featuring the award-winning Cisco Wireless Security Suite. Based on the 802.1X standard for port-based network access, the Cisco Wireless Security Suite takes advantage of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) framework for user-based authentication (Figure 5). This solution also supports Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), the new Wi-Fi Alliance specification for interoperable, standards-based wireless LAN security.

The Cisco Wireless Security Suite interoperates with a range of client devices. It supports all 802.1X authentication types, including Cisco LEAP, Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and types that operate over EAP-TLS, such as Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP), EAP-Tunneled TLS (EAP-TTLS) and EAP-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM). A wide selection of RADIUS servers, such as the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS), can be used for enterprise-class centralized user management that includes:

Simplified Deployment for Rapid Connectivity

The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series, with its redesigned graphical user interface (GUI), introduces the next level of intuitive, browser-based management for an improved user experience (Figure 6). A menu-based organization simplifies navigation and configuration for easy setup and ongoing management with uncompromised security. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series can also be managed using Cisco IOS Software CLI, which is familiar to IT professionals, allowing them to rely on existing skills in both management and deployment.

The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series defines enterprise office deployment capability. Designed in an attractive, durable plastic enclosure, with integrated diversity dipole antennas, the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series can be quickly deployed with a reliable, omni-directional coverage pattern. Supported in various mounting orientations and locations, it can be easily moved throughout the work area as needs change (Figure 7). A standard, surface-mounting bracket supports installation on office walls and ceilings for elevated placement. UL 2043 certification for the plenum rating requirements set by local fire codes supports installation in environmental air spaces such as areas above suspended ceilings. The design protects against tampering and theft using single- or master-keyed padlocks. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series can also be brought into the cubicle space with a cubicle wall-mounting bracket or device stand. The device stand positions the access point on any horizontal surface, such as a desktop or shelf. Theft is deterred in these installations using the security slot with standard security cables. Support for either local or inline power over Ethernet further simplifies installation. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series is Wi-Fi certified to ensure interoperability with other IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b devices.

Advanced Management of Large Scale Wireless LAN Deployments

The CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE), a component of the Cisco SWAN, is available as a management tool for Cisco Aironet access points and wireless bridges. CiscoWorks WLSE is a turnkey, scalable, and centralized management platform for managing hundreds to thousands of Cisco Aironet access points and wireless bridges.
