AIR-OEAP1810-A-K9 Cisco Aironet 1810 OfficeExtend Access Point

A-domain lifecycle exception

AIR-OEAP1810-A-K9 is an Aironet 1810 802.11ac Wave 2 OfficeExtend access point carrying Cisco regulatory-domain code A. The suffix is part of the orderable PID and must survive purchasing, receiving, controller admission and replacement.

Required workflow

Document why the retired A-domain AP remains necessary, which known-good image is used and when it will be replaced. Keep a tested same-domain spare only for the approved exception period.

Non-substitution boundary

Current Cisco support or vulnerability remediation must not be assumed for a product whose last support date has passed.

Remote-access acceptance

Record the physical PID and serial number, destination approval, controller model and release, AP image, CAPWAP join, OfficeExtend tunnel, corporate and local SSIDs, wired-port behavior, WAN recovery and supplied power hardware. Cisco's compatibility matrix, not enclosure similarity, is the software-support reference.

Lifecycle decision

Cisco lists October 30, 2019 as the end-of-sale date and October 31, 2024 as the last date of support for the 1810 OfficeExtend family. Continued operation therefore requires an explicit security owner, controlled software image, same-domain replacement rule and dated migration plan.
