Release Notes for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)JA
OL-23990-01
Important Notes
Use Auto for Ethernet Duplex and Speed Settings
We recommend that you use auto, the default setting, for both the speed and duplex settings on the access
point Ethernet port. When your access point receives inline power from a switch, any change in the speed
or duplex settings that resets the Ethernet link reboots the access point. If the switch port to which the
access point is connected is not set to auto, you can change the access point port to half or full to correct
a duplex mismatch, and the Ethernet link is not reset. However, if you change from half or full back to
auto, the link is reset, and, if your access point receives inline power from a switch, the access point
reboots.
Note The speed and duplex settings on the access point Ethernet port must match the Ethernet settings
on the port to which the access point is connected. If you change the settings on the port to which
the access point is connected, change the settings on the access point Ethernet port to match.
Use force-reload Option with archive download-sw Command
When you upgrade access point or bridge system software by entering the archive download-sw
command on the CLI, you must use the force-reload option. If the access point or bridge does not reload
the flash memory after the upgrade, the pages in the web-browser interface might not reflect the upgrade.
This example shows how to upgrade system software by using the archive download-sw command:
AP# archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.1/image-name
Radio MAC Address Appears in ACU
When a Cisco Aironet client device associates to an access point running IOS software, the access point
MAC address that appears on the Status page in the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) is the MAC address
for the access point radio. The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is printed on the label on
the back of the access point.
Radio MAC Address Appears in Access Point Event Log
When a client device roams from an access point (such as access point alpha) to another access point
(access point bravo), a message appears in the event log on access point alpha stating that the client
roamed to access point bravo. The MAC address that appears in the event message is the MAC address
for the radio in access point bravo. The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is on the label
on the back of the access point.
Mask Field on IP Filters Page Behaves the Same As in CLI
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)JA and later, the mask that you enter in the Mask field on the IP Filters page
in the access point GUI behaves the same way as a mask that you enter in the CLI. If you enter
255.255.255.255 as the mask, the access point accepts any IP address. If you enter 0.0.0.0, the access
point looks for an exact match with the IP address that you entered in the IP Address field.
