Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E?

Wi-Fi 6 aims to improve speed, efficiency, and capacity in the existing 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands. Wi-Fi 6E expands this standard into the 6 GHz frequency band, adding another 1.2 GHz of spectrum. This extension minimizes network congestion, creates cleaner channels, and allows for higher speeds with lower latency. The Cisco Catalyst 9136I model makes full use of Wi-Fi 6E to provide high-performance connectivity in areas with a significant number of connected devices. The 6-GHz band prevents interference for critical applications by isolating Wi-Fi 6E devices from legacy devices.

How does Flexible Radio Assignment operate?

Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) allows the access point to dynamically modify its radio configurations in response to client density, RF interference, and traffic patterns. The Catalyst 9136I operates in tri-radio mode with one 4x4 6-GHz radio, one 8x8 5-GHz radio, and one 4x4 2.4-GHz radio. The 8x8 5-GHz radio can be divided into two 4x4 radios in quad-radio mode. This effectively increases the capacity of 5-GHz devices while maintaining 2.4-GHz and 6-GHz operation. This adaptability guarantees that the network is optimized for performance, irrespective of fluctuating circumstances.

What are the advantages of having dual Multigigabit Ethernet ports?

The Catalyst 9136I is equipped with two 5G Multigigabit Ethernet interfaces that facilitate redundancy and high-speed uplinks. The Cisco AP 9136 can accommodate high traffic loads without experiencing bottlenecks as the ports operate at rates of up to 5 Gbps. They provide futureproofing and backward compatibility by supporting both Cat 5e and 10GBASE-T cabling. The redundancy feature guarantees uninterrupted network performance even in case of a port or link failure.

Does the Cisco Catalyst 9136 series guarantee network security?

Yes, the Cisco 9136 access point implements numerous layers of sophisticated security to safeguard the network. Robust authentication and encryption are provided by WPA3, which protects data in high-risk or public environments. Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provides an additional layer of protection by verifying the authenticity of the hardware and software through secure launch and image signing. The Cisco DNA Centre, which offers real-time threat detection and automated response capabilities, is also integrated with the 9136 Cisco AP model. The combination of these features provides comprehensive protection against malware, unauthorized access, and other cyber threats. For more information on security, check the Cisco 9136 datasheet.

Does the Cisco Catalyst 9136 access point support IoT applications?

Certainly, Cisco 9136 AP is intended to streamline and improve the deployment of IoT. It is equipped with environmental sensors that measure humidity, temperature, and air quality, thereby eliminating the necessity for external monitoring systems. Its USB interface and support for containerized applications enable users to host and manage IoT solutions directly on the access point, thereby reducing the cost and complexity of deploying overlay networks. Furthermore, the platform is adaptable to smart environments due to its integrated Bluetooth 5 connectivity, which enables low-power IoT use cases, including asset tracking and location-based services.

Which management tools are compatible with the Cisco Catalyst 9136I access point?

The Catalyst 9136I can be seamlessly integrated with Cisco DNA Centre, a comprehensive network management platform. The Cisco DNA Centre allows automation, analytics, and centralized control over enterprise networks. Administrators can diagnose a significant number of suspicious activities and analyze packets in real-time with the assistance of features such as Intelligent Capture. Automated workflows simplify deployment and maintenance duties, while Cisco DNA Assurance offers insights into network health and performance. With these management tools, administrators can easily and efficiently control, even in high-density enterprise environments.

What is the Cisco Catalyst 9136 price?

The Cisco 9136 price is dependent on configuration options like licensing and power supply and other software features like integration with Cisco DNA Center or the Meraki Cloud Dashboard. It is also influenced by advanced features like Wi-Fi 6E, dual Multigigabit Ethernet ports, environmental sensors, and Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies.
