C9105AXI-F Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI Indoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

C9105AXI-F: exact regional identity

C9105AXI-F is a Cisco Catalyst 9105 indoor Wi-Fi 6 access point with integrated antennas and two spatial streams on each Wi-Fi band. Its F suffix identifies the regulatory variant. The base PID is controller-based; Cisco lists EWC and teleworker ordering variants separately.

Indonesian certificate and procurement boundary

Cisco hosts Indonesian certificate 69391/SDPPI/2020, issued 24 July 2020, naming C9105AXI-F as the wireless access point model. This provides a traceable historical document for this exact PID. It does not establish that the certificate is currently valid, that the F variant is approved everywhere, or that every documented radio function is enabled by the selected controller release. Check current destination-country approval before ordering or installing. Keep the certificate number with the equipment label and delivery documentation. Exact historical Indonesian certificate.

Check the hardware revision before replacing an AP

For C9105AXI hardware VID 04 or later, Cisco's compatibility notice identifies an inability to run controller software released before August 2022. The F suffix is within the notice's all-other-regulatory-domains group. A replacement with the same product code can therefore need a controller upgrade. Obtain the actual unit's PID, VID and serial number and review the recommended controller release before scheduling the change. The notice flags AireOS 8.10.181.0 as deferred; it should not be treated as a current recommended release. Cisco hardware-version compatibility notice.

AXI interfaces and installation choices

The AXI has a single Gigabit Ethernet PoE uplink and an RJ-45 console. The AXW wall-plate model has a different port layout; its multi-gigabit uplink, three downstream ports and USB port do not describe this AXI. A standards-based 802.3af supply supports the AXI's two 2x2 Wi-Fi radios and 1G uplink. Allow space for the 150 x 150 x 30 mm enclosure. Cisco Catalyst 9105 data sheet.

Commissioning checks that avoid a failed installation

• Confirm whether AIR-AP-BRACKET-8= was selected: Cisco's guide makes bracket inclusion conditional, and it can be ordered separately.
• Check the DHCP scope includes a default gateway and that gateway ARP resolves; Cisco documents this dependency for an 802.11ax AP to receive its address.
• Disconnect an unterminated console lead during boot. Cisco warns that an unconnected lead, or one longer than one metre, can cause boot problems.
• Record successful controller join and a client association test before the unit goes into its final location.

These checks help define the equipment and installation requirements for an inquiry; controller licensing, support, accessories and delivery scope should be confirmed in the quotation. Cisco 9105AXI installation guide.
