how to install Cisco Catalyst C9115AXE

Deploying the C9115AXE efficiently requires careful planning and a straightforward setup process. Start with a site assessment to identify optimal mounting locations and to map coverage, interference, and channel planning. Ensure your network infrastructure can provide sufficient PoE power and a stable uplink to the central management system. Mount the unit securely in a ceiling or wall location that maximizes line-of-sight to clients while minimizing obstructions. Connect the AP to a PoE-enabled switch or injector, verify link status, and adopt the device into Cisco DNA Center or your chosen management platform. Configure SSIDs, security settings (including WPA3 and 802.1X authentication), guest access, and roaming policies. Finally, perform a site survey and performance verification to confirm coverage, throughput, and seamless roaming across the campus or office environment. Regular firmware updates and policy tweaks will help maintain optimal performance as client devices and usage patterns evolve.

  • Plan placement to maximize coverage and minimize interference; place centrally on each floor and avoid obstructions such as metal partitions or large appliances.
  • Ensure a PoE-enabled network—IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at power supports easy, cable-friendly deployment without separate power cabling.
  • Mount the AP in a suitable ceiling cavity or wall location with the included hardware; orient for best RF propagation and minimal obstruction by furniture or fixtures.
  • Connect to the wired network and verify the link status; adopt the AP into Cisco DNA Center or your preferred management platform for policy and analytics integration.
  • Configure SSIDs, authentication methods, guest access, and roaming settings; run a post-deployment site survey and throughput test to validate coverage and performance across the workspace.
