However, when Allow AAA Override is enabled, the RADIUS (or other AAA) server can alternatively be configured to return QoS and ACL on a per-MAC Address basis. Allow AAA Override gives the AAA Override precedence over the MAC Filtering parameters set in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller; if there are no AAA Overrides available for a given MAC Address, the OS uses the MAC Filtering parame- ters already in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. This AAA (RADIUS or other) Override can be used as a finer version of AAA Override, but only takes precedence over MAC Filtering when Allow AAA Override is enabled.

Note that in all cases, the Override parameters (Operator-Defined Interface and QoS, for example) must already be defined in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller configuration.

In all cases, the OS will use QoS and ACL provided by the AAA server or MAC Filtering regardless of the Layer 2 and/or Layer 3 authentication used.

Also note that the OS will only move clients from the default Cisco WLAN Solution WLAN VLAN to a different VLAN when configured for MAC filtering, 802.1X, and/or WPA Layer 2 authentication.

To configure the Cisco WLAN Solution WLANs, refer to Configuring WLANs.

About File Transfers

The Cisco WLAN Solution operator can upload and download Operating System code, configuration, and certificate files to and from a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller using CLI commands, Web User Interface commands, or Cisco Wireless Control System (Cisco WCS) commands.

•To use CLI commands, refer to Transferring Files To and From a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.

•To use the Web User Interface, go to Using the Web User Interface.

•To use Cisco WCS commands, continue with Using the Cisco Wireless Control System.

About Power Over Ethernet

Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points can receive power via their ethernet cables from 802.3af-compatible Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, which can reduce the cost of discrete power supplies, additional wiring, conduits, outlets, and installer time. PoE also frees installers from having to mount Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points or other powered equipment near AC outlets, providing greater flexibility in positioning Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points for maximum coverage.

When you are using PoE, the installer runs a single CAT-5 cable from each Cisco 1000 Series light- weight access point to PoE-equipped network elements, such as a PoE power hub or a Cisco WLAN Solution Single-Line PoE Injector, described in Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Part Numbers. When the PoE equipment determines that the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point is PoE-enabled, it sends 48 VDC over the unused pairs in the Ethernet cable to power the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point.

The PoE cable length is limited by the 100BASE-T or 10BASE-T specification to 100 m or 200 m, respectively.

Note: Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points can receive power from any network device conforming to the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Note: Each Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point can alternatively receive power from an Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point External Power Supply.
