PoE on Cisco Aieronet AP 2600

Hello experts,
I wanto know is it possible to plug a cisco aironet ap 2600 to a Cisco-Switch with PoE capabale port and give power to the Cisco AP-2600 through the switch port ? if yes , please let me know what is the exact switch part-number so that i can order one
Currently i have a Cisco Cat 3550-24 , does it support PoE??
Thanks for your comments

To expand on what Scott said:
Yes the AP can take POE from a switch. But you need one of the switches that support 802.3af. the 3550-24 if it's a pwr only supports the pre-standard 7w of power.

Brocade FCX PoE with Cisco LAP

Hi,
We are using Brocade FCX PoE switches with AIR-LAP1142N-N-K9 and AIR-LAP1252AG-A-K9. We have some issues that may or may not be due to the Brocade-LAP links but would like a reality check with other Brocade sites. If you are successfully using Brocade PoE switches with Cisco LAPs can you give a typical port config?
Example configs we have have tried:
interface ethernet 1/1/2
no cdp enable
inline power power
interface ethernet 2/1/23
port-name TX_LWAP01
no fdp enable
no cdp enable
inline power power-by-class 4"
interface ethernet 2/1/12
inline power
Typical switch:

Hi John,
Unfortunetally, I will not be able to help you from the switch side. Maybe someone else reading the thread will do; but I wanted to tell you that 11n Access Points have special POE requirements to function as expected.
Check this http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/switches/epoe.html if you haven't seen it yet.
Hope this help you
Have a good day

Cisco Aironet 1600/2600/3600

Hi Group,
I'm leaning toward buying 2 cisco 2600 access points for our office.
My goal is to eliminate the residential style access points. The issue is security/management. Each time someone leaves the company, the password needs to be changed, and then all the laptops need to be changed. Looking for a better managed solution.
I am aware that cisco also offers controllers to simplify management, but since we are only needing 2 access points, I want to know if I can successfully integrate these 2 access points with active directory without a controller.
A couple of other questions.
Is a radius server required for this or can the AP's directly talk with Active Directory via LDAP.
Without a controller, does each AP require a different SSID, would like to have them the same?
Is any software required to be installed on the laptops (win xp and 7)
Any advantages to using a controller for a 2 AP system?
Thanks for the info.

Take a look at this PDF, you can order one of these for free when you place an order.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/flyers/APbracketsAndClips.pdf
The AP you will need if your in th eUS is air-cap2602i-a-k9. I would make sure when you order the WLC2504 that you also mention code 7.3 or 7.4 so it gets preloaded since the 2602's require version 7.2.110.0 or newer... I would go with the 7.4.
Thanks,
Scott

PoE for Cisco 1242AG and 1310G Access Points

Dear All,
we purchased a Cisco 1242AG and a 1310G Access Point and in the DataSheet it was specified that these APs support Power-over-Ethernet. The problem is we don't see any RJ-45 port in either AP which could be used for connecting the AP to an PoE Switch. Can you please tell us how we can connect these APs to an 802.11af compatible PowerBridge (by Intermec) ? Thanks.

Hi Thorsten,
The 1242 should be good to go but the 1310 is powered quite differently. Have a look;

1300 Series Power
Power
The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the access point/bridge.
The power injector is available in two models:
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2 standard version (included with the access point/bridge)
48-VDC input power
Uses the 48-VDC power module (included with the access point/bridge)
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T optional transportation version
12- to 40-VDC input power
Note The power injector and the power module must not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. The power module must not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.

Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector
The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Power Injector,converts the standard 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface that is suitable for weather protected areas to a dual F-Type connector interface for coax cables that are more suitable for harsh outdoor environments. The Power Injector also provides power to the outdoor unit over the same cables with a power discover feature and surge protection. To support longer cable runs from your wireless network switch or router, the Power Injector LR is designed to accommodate up to a 100 meter coaxial cable run plus 100 meters of indoor cat5 cable?enabling total cable runs up to 200 meters. The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge ships with the Power Injector LR2 and an AC power supply.

PoE standard (cisco ILP vs 802.3af)

I have CCNP switch official guide book, page 306 says below.
For cisco ILP, inline power is provided over data pairs 2 and 3 (RJ45 1,2 and 3,6)
For 802.3af power can be supplied in the same fashion (1 2 3 6) or over paris 1 and 4 (RJ45 4,5 and 7,8)
Can you give me when those bold option is used in terms of PoE?
Thanks.

I believe the 802.3af standard actually allows both pinout configurations.They are known as Mode A and Mode B. Mode A uses the data pairs while Mode B uses the "spare" pairs. I have always been under the impression that Mode A would be what one would find on devices that terminate a connection. For example, a Cisco Catalyst switch that provides 802.3af power will use the Data Tx/Rx pairs (pins 1,2,3,6). Further, my belief is that Mode B would be used by "mid-span" devices that insert power. For example, in-line power patch panels or in-line power injectors. These panels use the "spare" pairs to carry DC power (pins 4,5,7,8).
The equipment that provides the power (i.e. the power sourcing equipment) determines which Mode (i.e. pins) is used. The powered device that is 802.3af compliant must be capable of supporting both modes.
Here is a quick reference chart:

RPS 2300 together with 3750 - 48 PoE and Cisco 2821

Hi,
I'm wondering what kind of power modules to include in RPS 2300 (750 or 1150 Watt) to provide redundant power supply for 1 x Cisco 2821 router (standart power supply) and Catalyst 3750 with PoE 48 ports.
Thanks

I am not qualified to answer your question... I would like to mention to be careful when calculating power for phones, because some of the phones (especially color) will take more power than others. We ended up only being able to support 24-ish phones on a 3750 due to power limitations.

Cisco 2700 vs 2600

So currently we are using 2600's and been looking at the 2700's. We don't have a need to run "ac", but looking at the specs Optimized Roaming and RF noise reduction caught my eye and I'm trying to get a confirmation that 2700 does in fact offers better roaming as compared to 2600? Any one with first hand experience?
Also since there are two gig ports what is the key purpose future LAG deployment?

Hi,
Yes 2700's has additive feature of Optimized AP Roaming and Cross AP Noise Reduction capability
because it come up with the 802.11ac technology which make an effect on overall Access Point RF performance.
compare to 2600's

Call manager and Cisco IP phones

I would like to know if it's possible to use Cisco IP phones in small environments, without having Call manager, or it's mandatory to have always CallManager if one wants to use the IP phones.
Thank you

You can use Call Manager Express, which runs on cisco 1751/60, 2600 and above routers. it can support up to 120 users. Cisco Unity Express will provide voice mail. this is a network module in 2600 and above routers. for more info, see www.cisco.com/go/ccme

Looking for an Access Point with 2 Ethernet ports and powered via PoE

Hi Gurus,
I am looking for an Access Point with 2 Ethernet ports and the access point can be powered via PoE. I have been assigned with a requirement where the rooms need to have access point as well as an Ethernet Cable provided from the Access Point as a backup for connectivity.
The room only has one data cable coming from the main IT room as well does not have a spare power socket to power the Access Point. Will be good if it can be centrally controlled or controller based.
Any recommendations?
Regards
J

For the backup plan, the cheapest solution may be to just run a couple new cat5e drops to the room(est cost $250). If not then purchase a small Cisco POE switch for the room(est cost $2k). For wireless I would purchase a POE enabled Cisco AP. But you will need to verify the POE switch/blade you will be connecting the AP to can power the AP you buy. I got burned by that issue when we purchased some Cisco 1251 AP's with dual radios and they needed more power than our 4500 POE blades could handle. We were told we would need to purchase new 48 port 10/100/1000 blades or power injectors. Our Cisco sales vendor took the heat for that mistake.

Setting up wireless Cisco Access Points independently and network layout

Hello,
I am technician in a school. I have been asked to upgrade wireless system in school. Currently I am using VDSL2 30Mbps line. I am using E4200 Router, which is providing internet services. The school has 3 floors. On one floor I have this router which is further attached with 16 port gigabit unmanageable switch. The same router is providing wireless service on the same floor using Class C ip address. From the switch I have extended a cable and took it on to another (second floor), where I have got one more gigabit switch. From that switch I have connected one router using different subnet and further i have attached two access points for the entire floor, which is working ok. From the same switch I have extended one more cable up to third floor where I have connected one more access point. So, 3 access points on three floors, 2 switches and two router. This is the current network layout.
Now school have decided to go over to fiber. ISP is going to put Juniper router and going to create vlan and will configure access restrictions. School will have 100Mbps unlimited up and download speed. Its because of increase in number of students. School is still waiting for the router and configuration to be done.
I have got 4 cisco 1602i access points (AIR-SAP1602I-Z-K9). These access points are POE supported. I have got one 8 port POE switch also. When I got these 4 cisco I didnt get power adapters with them. First I want to ask, is this normal. Don't they usually come with power adapter. I know they are POE, but cisco doesn't send them with power adapters.
Second I want to ask, if these access points can work independent without WLAN controller. Or do i have to have WLAN controller.
As fiber is not up yet so, for the time being I have connected these access points with POE switch using Cat5E cable and then further connected the POE switch with normal gigabit switch, which is further conneted with router at this point.
Please tell me if I am doing it correctely. I will also be needing help with the configuration.
Can anyone tell me how to setup these access points independently for current situation to provide internet access. How to set them on different channels etc......
Also want to know if there is any software that can detect access points and can help me manage these access points.
I shall be thankful.

Small Office Switch Questions

Hi Guys,
Have a small office I need to setup with a few requirements.
I need to replace some unmanaged switches with one or two managed devices to better facilitate bandwith and general managment. There will be 5/6 VLANS (VOIP, Users, Wifi, CCTV ect), between 24 and 48 workstations requiring gigabit speeds and around 15 VOIP phones and 5 IP Cameras.
Due to costs, i'm quite happy to go with a 24port 1000base switch and a 48port 10/100base POE switch (as I can bounce lots of devices that don't need 1000 like printers and accesspoints down to the POE switch). I was looking originally at the 3750 series (1000 and 100 and using the stacking ports) but the cost may be a little high.
Used switches are not a real problem (unless anyone can advise on some really good reasons why) so picking up old cat hardware and getting the latest images are a option. Ideally, I want to spend under 1500 USD on something like this, but if it could be sub $1000 that would be great. In terms of the POE device, it needs to be standard POE not Cisco Pre-Standard.
Happy to keep in the same series even if it's older.
I've seen the small business series, but it seems that by the time you spend the money on two switches, you're nearly upto the prices of two used cats.
Any thoughts on those?
Thanks.

I was looking originally at the 3750 series (1000 and 100 and using the stacking ports) but the cost may be a little high.
You will no longer be able to purchase FastEthernet 3750 as Cisco has announced the End-of-Sale of the 10/100BaseTx of the 3560 and 3750 since January 2011. Cisco has also announced the End-of-Sale of the 3560G/E and 3750G/E back in March 2012.
So this leaves you with the 3560X and the 3750X and I can assure you this variety doesn't come cheap at all.
This leaves you with the last remaining stack-capable model, the 2960S. Like what Paul has said, the 2960S is a "triple speed" variety: 10/100/1000BaseTx. You can have uplinks of 1 Gbps fibre or 10 Gbps fibre. You can have "half" PoE or Full PoE.
But what sets the 2960S different from the 3750X (in terms of stacking) is the amount of switches in a stack. The 3750X can support up to nine but the 2960S can support up to four. This factor was set deliberately to prevent potential users to choose the cheaper 2960S instead of the 3750X.
