CISCO 1700 .11AC access points.

[rahul nair]

Hi ,

A Simple query .

As you all know , the cisco 1700 access points come with two 1GE uplink ports .( Primary and Auxilliary ).

I was under the impression that i can connect both these ports to an uplink switch , to create  a LAG.

Is it possible ? or is it strictly an Auxiliary port and can't be actively used at the same time ?

For the time being, the Auxiliary port cannot be used as a LAG.  

Future software release will support EtherChannel of the two ports.

There is another reason why this does not require aggregation.

1700 support 11ac wave 1 which is 1.3Gbps over the air data rate. Considering RF efficiency (~40-70% due to management & control overhead) real throughput is much less than 1Gbps. So 1Gbps physical port is not a limitation for 11ac wave 1.

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply.

But i guess we would be seeing >1G uplinks post WAVE-2.
