1 About Catalyst 3560-CX switch

3560-CX switch

• 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports

• 2 x 1 GE copper uplinks
• 2 x 1 GE SFP uplinks
• IP base (IP services with RTU license)
PoE+ support with up to 240 W of PoE budget
Product Overview

• The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Compact Switches help optimize network deployments. These Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) and Multigigabit Ethernet (mGig) managed switches are ideal for high-speed data connectivity, Wi-Fi
backhaul, and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) connectivity in places where space is at a premium. With a single
copper or fiber cable from the wiring closet, Cisco Catalyst compact switches enable IP connectivity for
devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, PCs, and video endpoints.
 2. Configuration of switch for AP connectivity at remote
location

Switch will be connected to upstream device with VLAN 4066, in this case, uplink will be connected with trunk
configuration however respective ports that are used for AP connectivity will be configured with VLAN 4066 as
access port and along with that management IP address will be configured on switch.

With VLAN 4066 configuration

Switch#config t

Switch(config)#VTP mode transperent

Switch(config)#hostname <enter the hostname as per the standard>

Switch(config)#vlan 4066

Switch(config)#interface vlan 4066

Switch(config-if)#ip address < management ip address of switch > <IP subnet mask>

Switch(config)#ip default-gateway < IP address of default gateway-BNG >

Uplink port configuration in PoE switch:

Switch(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0/9

Switch(config)#switchport mode trunk

Switch(config)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 4066

Switch(config)# no shut

end

Note: upstream switch uplink port also should be configured same as trunk port with allowed vlan 4066.
Port configuration on which AP’s will be connected

Switch(config)#interface <interface ID>

Switch(config)# description <please put the description with AP name which will be connected to this port>

Switch(config)#switchport mode access

Switch(config)# switchport access vlan 4066

Switch(config)# no shut
3. Lightweight AP CLI configuration

Below are the commands to statically configure the information necessary to join a controller via the console port and
the AP’s CLI.

In order to manually configure static information on a LAP using the AP CLI interface, you can use these EXEC mode
CLI commands:

AP#capwap ap ip address <IP address> <subnet mask>

AP#capwap ap ip default-gateway <IP-address>

AP#capwap ap controller ip address <IP-address>

AP#capwap ap hostname <name as per the standard>

To verify the details in AP, please enter below commands:

AP# show capwap client rcb

AP# show capwap client config
