Posted on August 4, 2019August 4, 2019 by fadıl

I will share a tutorial on how to connect the Router a million people that is Mikrotik with the access point from Cisco Vendor named Aironet

okay we will just explain a little bit about Access Point ( AP ) Aironet from Cisco

Introduction with Cisco Access-Point Aironet
In Cisco Aironet there are 2 modes for operational:

1. Lightweight Access Point ( LAP ), in LAP for operational use Controller for centralized AP management, called WLC
2. Autonomous Access Point ( AAP) or sometimes called “Standalone” ^ _ ^, in the AAP, is not required Controller, so each AP has their own management

To make Access Point into AAP we need a special IOS that supports the AP.
because the Aironet AP there are two operational modes as I have mentioned before,

1. IOS that supports LAP in IOS naming no code W8
2. IOS that supports the AAP in IOS naming no code W7

For more details please refer to the Link It

To topology we will practice this time the AAP Operational Mode and the form of topology as follows:

Steps were taken on Mikrotik GW
1. Here I am using RB CCR1016-12G, I assume that the GW Router is connected to the Internet.

2. Create a DHCP Server

Steps were taken on Cisco Aironet
1. I assume AP Aironet has become the initial
Config standalone using Console to provide IP Address to the AP.
Normally the default password of Aironet is “Cisco”
