Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the purpose of the Cisco Catalyst 9115 Series?

The Catalyst 9115 access points address modern networking difficulties with enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6. This wireless coverage supports IoT devices, bandwidth-intensive applications, and security-focused deployments in high-density environments like offices, campuses, and industrial sites.

What sets 9115AXI apart from 9115AXE?

Catalyst 9115AXI offers a sleek design and complete coverage for indoor locations in office buildings. The semi-outdoor 9115AXE features weather-resistant casing and greater durability to survive extreme environmental conditions. Both devices deliver the same Wi-Fi 6 capabilities but are designed for different deployments. For more information on their features, refer to the Cisco AP 9115 datasheet.

How can an Embedded Wireless Controller help network deployment?

Without extra controller hardware, the Embedded Wireless Controller simplifies network implementation. It lets administrators manage the network from AP 9115, saving time and money. The controller is appropriate for small to medium-sized installations, providing features such as User Defined Networks (UDN), policy management, and real-time monitoring.

What is BSS Coloring, and why is it an important feature?

To prevent interference, Wi-Fi 6's BSS Coloring allows overlapping wireless networks to identify their signals. Devices may ignore neighboring signals and focus on their network because each Basic Service Set (BSS) has a unique 'color.' This reduces interference and boosts throughput in busy areas like multi-tenant buildings, campuses, and event spaces.

How fast can a user send data with the Cisco Catalyst 9115 access point series?

The Cisco 9115 supports uplink speeds of 2.5 Gbps, in addition to 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps using Multigigabit Ethernet technology, ensuring optimal performance without additional cabling.

What is the function of Cisco DNA software?

The Catalyst 9115 is powered by Cisco DNA Software, which offers sophisticated analytics, automation, and assurance. Cisco DNA Centre allows centralized management, providing real-time insights into network security and performance. Automated provisioning, intrusion detection, AI-driven analytics, and other features simplify operations and guarantee reliable, high-caliber network performance. Software-defined segmentation is another feature that Cisco DNA offers for improved security and compliance.
