Hello All,

Im totally new in Wireless environment

I have 2 questions regarding Cisco Aironet APs:

1- We want to purchase Cisco APs for connecting our LAN Computers locally in our company, so I have already orderded Cisco Aironet AP 2600 Series. But as i searched the web people are using Cisco Aironet 1200 Series which i have never used it. can any one tell me what is the difference between AP 2600 and 1200? The Cisco 2600 AP will work for us or how ?

2- We have already installed ISE (Radious Server) in our network, so i want to know for providing AAA services through ISE for wireless clients , the Cisco Aironet 2600 AP can be used as a NAD device or We have to purchase Cisco WLC aswell?

please any one knows the above questions, please share ur ideas

Thanks,

Cisco AP

1200 access points are very good access points but they are older technology. The 2600 has a 1gb uplink, it will scan the air for interference, it can have the antennas built in, and it has more streams. 2600s are the way to go unless you are looking for a lot of horsepower and want to go with 3600s. I am not even sure if you can still get 1200s.
