1260 AP Questions

[Patrick McHenry]

Hi,

I have three questions about the 1260 APS.

Can they run autonomously?

Can I have them by PoE from the PoE ports on a  asa5505?

Can I use 3, 2.4 dipole antennas and 3, 5.8 dipole antennas instead of the other external antennas that attach with the cables AIR-ANT2451NV-R?

Thanks, Pat.

The answer to all three is yes.

For the directly connecting to the ASA, you can do it, but make sure you can configure the port as a trunk if you are going to have multiple SSID.

Stephen,

if I use 1 SSID and VLAN for 1 AP and 1 SSID and VLAN for the other, I should be fine with access ports, correct? Also, I could just keep  both SSIDs on the same VLAN and then apply both SSIDs to both APs, correct?

Thanks.

[Stephen Rodriguez]

yup, that should be fine.

Did you catch my edit to my last post. I think you answered before I was able to edit it.

Thanks, Pat.

No, I didn't catch the edit.  But that should work.  If you are using the same SSID, then you want the AP on the same VLAN, so you can roam between them.
