Default IP Address Behavior
When you connect an 1130AG access point running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or later software with
a default configuration to your LAN, the access point requests an IP address from your DHCP server
and, if it does not receive an IP address, continues to send requests indefinitely.
Default SSID and Radio Behavior
In Cisco IOS Relese 12.3(2)JA2 and earlier, the access point radios are enabled by default and the default
SSIDs are
tsunami
.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, the access point radios are disabled by default, and there are no default
SSIDs. You must create an SSID and enable the radio before the access point will allow wireless
associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of
newly installed access points. Refer to the
“Configuring Basic Security Settings” section on page 3-10
for instructions on configuring the SSID and the
“Enabling the Radio Interfaces” section on page 3-9
for
instructions on enabling the radio interfaces.
