Introduction
The Cisco Access Point supported on the fixed ISRs - Cisco 860, 880, and 890 series - is a wireless LAN
transceiver that acts as a connection point between wireless and wired networks or a center point of a
standalone wireless network. The access points supported on the Cisco 860, 880, and 890 can be
configured and monitored by using the command-line interface (CLI), the web-browser interface or
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

System Requirements
System Requirements
You can install the Cisco IOS Release 12.4(10b)JY on all the access points supported on the Cisco 860,
880, and 890 fixed ISR platforms.
Determining the Software Version
To find the version of Cisco IOS software running on your access point, use a Telnet session to log into
the access point, and enter the show version EXEC command. This example shows command output
from an access point running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(10b)JY:

Open Caveats - Release 12.4(10b)JY
The following caveat is open in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(10b)JY:
CSCsw40965 Cannot use 802.11n data rate after changing WEP to no encryption.
Conditions Change from WEP and WPA-TKIP to no encryption or WPA2-AES will not change the
maximum data rate from 54.0 Mbps to 144 Mbps.
Workaround Save configuration and reload AP.
Resolved Caveats - Release 12.4(10b)JY
These caveats are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(10b)JY:
•
CSCsw49097 FCC DFS test fails at certain off-center frequencies.
•
CSCsw80092 Low upstream TCP throughput with antenna diversity with 802.11A or G clients.
•
CSCsu63811 AP801 RBCP is not in steady state when it is at Init Config Dialog.
•
CSCsv04836
Multiple Cisco products are affected by denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities that manipulate the
state of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections. By manipulating the state of a TCP
connection, an attacker could force the TCP connection to remain in a long-lived state, possibly
indefinitely. If enough TCP connections are forced into a long-lived or indefinite state, resources on
a system under attack may be consumed, preventing new TCP connections from being accepted. In
some cases, a system reboot may be necessary to recover normal system operation. To exploit these
vulnerabilities, an attacker must be able to complete a TCP three-way handshake with a vulnerable
system.
In addition to these vulnerabilities, Cisco Nexus 5000 devices contain a TCP DoS vulnerability that
may result in a system crash. This additional vulnerability was found as a result of testing the TCP
state manipulation vulnerabilities.
Cisco has released free software updates for download from the Cisco website that address these
vulnerabilities. Workarounds that mitigate these vulnerabilities are available.
