AIR-AP2802E-C-K9 C-Domain Secure-Boot AP

AIR-AP2802E-C-K9 is the C-domain controller-based 2802e with external antennas and two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Cisco lists the exact PID in its secure-boot product inventory. It must retain its C-domain identity and should not be confused with AIR-AP2802E-Z-K9 or the configurable AIR-AP2802E-N-K9C.

Boot and controller evidence

Record bootloader status, certificate state, running image and successful registration on the target controller release. A secure-boot listing confirms the platform capability, not that a used unit's image, certificate or software history is healthy; verify each item during acceptance.

Antenna and RF commissioning

Build the quote around separately approved external antennas, cables and mounting hardware. Capture all four connections, cable loss and survey results. Validate CleanAir and Flexible Radio Assignment on the installed antenna topology.

Unsupported-date planning

Supply 802.3at PoE+, test both Ethernet ports and save controller inventory. Cisco's last support date is October 31, 2027 after end of sale on October 31, 2022, so migration ownership and Catalyst 9120AX compatibility review belong in the purchase record.

Official evidence: Cisco exact C PID secure-boot listing, Cisco Aironet 2800 lifecycle notice, Cisco radio, antenna and interface specification, Cisco 2802e deployment guidance and Cisco C-domain approval lookup.
