Following up on this thread because I couldn't get the v3.1 USB console driver stuff from cisco.com to work on my Win 7 jump host - and the following did:   https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers   Specifically I downloaded the https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/CP210x_Windows_Drivers.zip (v6.7.6) and it worked a charm, to get my mini USB console working with an IR829 router.   So I'm posting here for others' benefit (and for mine, should I forget where I got the driver later on ...)   Cheers,   Aaron ...

The transmit power level depends on: the AP model, the AP regulatory domain, the number of antennas in use, the configured gain, the modulation being used, and the specific channel in use.   You can see all the gory details in the Channels and Maximum Power spreadsheet - https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/channels/lwapp/reference/guide/3600e_3600i_pwr_chn.xlsx .   Hth,   Aaron ...

The "TAC Recommended AireOS Build" document says "The following platforms are EOLed in 8.5: AP1600, AP2600, AP3500, AP3600, AP1552 (128MB version), AP802, WLC2504, WLC5508, WLC7510, WLC8510, WiSM2." But the release notes of version 8.5 have against information that is supported. Thanks for the feedback.  By "EOLed in 8.5", I meant - 8.5 is the last train that supports these platforms.  I now see that this is ambiguous, and will improve this in the next version.   Aaron ...

Hi Rajan, Assuming that you're talking about SSH here ... this is because the SSH server in AireOS isn't really a full SSH implementation - it's only an SSL wrapper around an internal TELNET session. So your SSH client can't pass the username out of band to the AireOS server ... you have to enter the username inband. This is fixed in AireOS 8.6 via CSCve45024. Hth, Aaron ... View more

Actually, an AP is susceptible only if 802.11r is enabled. ("authentication key-management wpa version 2 dot11r" configured under the SSID.) This wasn't even supported back in 15.2(2)JA1, so you're clear :) Aaron ... View more
