Cisco 1524 Aironet Outdoor Wi Fi Access Points

I am using Cisco 1524 Aironet Outdoor Wi Fi Access Points for outdoor Wi-Fi Coverage with WiSM Controller. I want to cascade Bridge them with UTP/STP Cables instead of using MESH using the Ethernet Bridging Function inside the controller. But I cannot have a cascaded Bridge chain of more than 2 AP's. Can
anybody advice & help me in this scenario?

Cisco Outdoor Controller Based Access Point

Hi,
I am looking for Cisco Outdoor Controller Based access point model. The WLC is Cisco 2500 Series.
I have checked couple of outdoor models but all are mesh access point. I am looking for normal controller based outdoor access point ( just like controller based indoor access point models )
Thanks.

Cisco Aironet 1100 series wireless access point software update!

Hi,
I have a wireless network using 2 cisco aironet 1100 series access points.
From time to time I have problems with connecting a device (Laptop,PC,)to the wireless network.There are onther wireless netwotk that operate around and might be using the same channel.Someone else created the wireless network and I do not know how to access it now to check the configurations on change something.
I cannot conncet my iPhone to the network and I beleive that a software update might solve the problem but I do not know how to do it and where to download it from.
1. How can I update the software and where from?
2.How can I ensure that thare are no interferences and conflicts?
3.How can I ensure that no onther wireless network around is using the same channel?
Thank you in advance.

Sounds good to me. Are you having problems?

Typical propagation distance of outdoor(1552E series) access point

Hello All,
I need to propose an design for outdoor WAP deployment for an huge resort. As it is a complete open space area without any obstruction, I believe the signal can be propagated easily in over 35 meters radius across the access point. However I don't get any documentation to know exact propagation distance.
Could someone please share their experiences as to what is the ideal distance of signal coverage that could be covered by a typical Cisco outdoor access point? I do not want to go for over quoting as that might result from the client opting for other vendor's product. I would thus want to go with most appropriate plan.
Also apart from 11ac capability and multiple spatial streams, does 1570 AP have any other major improvement as well our its predecessor 1552E series AP.
Please share your expereinces.
Best Regards,
Muhammed Adnan

Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
There are many factors that affect your Wireless Networking Performance that are dependent on various areas within the network itself from the technology of the devices used, the local environment the signals will travel through, the fundamental physics behind wireless transmission and more. Some of these cannot be avoided and measures must be taken to try to minimise the negative affect that these factors will have on the network performance but others can be resolved completely either though equipment upgrading or good network planning.
There are some well known factors that affect Wireless Networking performance that most people will identify easily but that does not lessen their importance when considering network planning, these are:
Obvious Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
    Physical Obstructions
    Network Range & Distance between Devices
    Wireless Network Interference
    Signal Sharing
Quite Well Known Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
    Network Usage & Load
    Poorly Deployed Antennas
    Local Environment Characteristics
    Spectrum Channel Limitations
    Signal Reflection
    Wireless Signal Restriction
Lesser Known Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
    Transmitter Power Limitations
    Backwards Compatibility with Older Standards
    Polarisation of Signal
    Speed Loss Due to Wireless Overheads
    Lowering Performance to Stay Connected

Cisco's Options For A Ruggedized Access Point

I'm looking for a wireless solution for an open plant environment. I know Cisco sold ruggedized 350 access points. I also see they are discontinuing the 350. What is Cisco's ruggedized solution currently for 802.11b/g?

I beleive the 1200 were for outdoor but you may want to use a NEMA enclosure for the 1200. check out fabcorp and ydi for info and prices.

Does Cisco Prime have support for HP Access Points?

I am trying to sell a solution to a client with dozens of large warehouses with a large existing HP wireless solution. I want to sell them on a Cisco wireless solution involving Prime to manage/monitor their current HP Access Points while we do a phased replacement to Cisco WLC and APs.
I cannot find listed in the documentation whether Cisco Prime has support for the HP access points though. I see it has 'some' support listed for some Aruba controllers, but not anything else.

Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - Do access points use up a node count license?

Hi Everyone,
I wish to purchase Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, particularly Cisco part # R-LMS-4.1-500-K9 which support 500 Cisco nodes.
We have about 360 Cisco switches/routers/ASA/FWs/WLCs so the 500 nodes license would seem to suffice for now & for future growth.
We also have about 200 lightweight APs that are managed & monitored by our WLC/WCS/Navigator environment.
According to the device support documentation for LMS, it supports and I assume will auto-discover these APs.
Does that mean these APs will use up node licenses on LMS even though management of the APs is done by WLC/WCS? If so is there an easy way to suppress discovery of APs by LMS so we don’t have to purchase extra node licenses for LMS? Or, does LMS offer additional support features for wireless APs not already offered by WLC/WCS/Navigator?
Just trying to understand how many network node licenses for LMS I have to purchase.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ian.

Thanks but I just heard back from my Cisco SE and he assures me that an AP will NOT use up a license.
I've asked him to verify his answer for me.
Is your answer based on real world expereince (the best there is)? That is, are you running Prime LMS 4.1 and does it indeed use up a license for each light-weight AP it discovers & manages?
Thanks for mentioning options 1-3 but I do not wish to employ any of them. I don't mind buying the additional licenses for APs ... I just need to know if I have to or not.
Ian.

Connecting a Cisco linksys E 2500 as an access point with my Apple time capsule

Is it possible to extend my network using a Cisco linksys E 2500 with my existing time capsule. My main source for the Internet goes to my time capsule and I have two airport express and want to add the Cisco router. I want to put this router by my entertainment center where I have yv etc. that need to be plugged in. I extended my network by using the airport express with no issues but need the extra Ports to plug in all the equipment that's why I want to use the Cisco Linksys.

The Cisco cannot extend the wireless of the Apple router.. sorry it is impossible.
You can use the Cisco as a switch but then again you could buy a switch for a few dollars and use that with the express.
Do you feel brave.. well do ya'
Flash your E2500 to dd-wrt and face the consequences.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E2500
It can then be used as universal wireless bridge or repeater.. I do not recommend this.. IMHO universal repeater is lousy and you are asking for years of bad wireless dropouts. But it is possible.. vaguely .. to do.
Better use EOP (homeplug) adapters.. and wan bypass or APmode the E2500.. that is very viable.
Best.. use ethernet to the area and use the E2500 as a switch and wireless AP.

Wireless bridging is not working in 1552 outdoor access point and 2602e indoor access point.

Hi,
I am have been tested wireless bridging with 2 indoor Cisco 2602 access point by following the attached document and its working fine without any issue.
After then I made one Cisco 1552 EU-M-K9 outdoor access point as RAP, then connect to this RAP with one 2602 mesh access point. But its not working, mesh access point is just start scan the signal to get associate with RAP, but not getting established. Is there any specific configuration required to connect between outdoor and indoor access point. Kindly find the attachment and advise.

Problem with Cisco 1240AG Access Points

I have a Cisco 1240AG Access point (P/N ? AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9).
It has come in the lightweight mode.
I just want to know whether I can put it to the autonomous mode.

Hi Indika,
Here is a conversion method (look most of the way down the attached doc);
Reverting the Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp161272
You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, and c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point.
Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 5 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 6 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 7 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 8 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 9 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

Configuring Cisco Air 1142N Access point.

Hi Guys
I have been struggling to configure a cisco airnet AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 access point.
this is not my first time as I have configured similar accesspoints before.
the access point gets an IP from the dhcp server. I can ping the access point over the network.
However, when I type in the ip in the web browser, nothing comes up. there is no proxy issue.
the console(hyperterminal, connected through serial cable) shows the following error message:
%CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: COULD NOT RESOLVE CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER
Many thanks
Mo

Hi,
2106/12/25 will support 7.0.xx code. It will also support all existing APs including 3500,1140,1040.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn7_0_116_0.html
I don't think it is EOS atleast does not say on the website :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7206/prod_eol_notices_list.html
Deciding on whether you need a WLC or not is upto your budget and what features you need on your Wireless Infrastructure.. If you have $$ to spend I would recommend going in for 2504. If not you can configure them in standalone and you can always buy a WLC based system in future given you only have 3 APs.
If you need IOS code, you can either approach
1) Your reseller or
2) Cisco SE
3) Call TAC support and ask CIN agent to grant access to CCO code based on what you purchased. Also explain your situation.

Finding the manufacture date on an access point via software

I'd like to determine the manufacture date of our access points because we plan on converting to LWAPP? Can someone tell me the what CLI command to use and which field has the answer. thanks.

Hi Thomas,
Not sure about finding the Manufacture date (maybe you are trying to find out about the presence of a MIC certificate) but we did go through this coversion from Autonomous to Lightweight on our infrastructure last summer.In this process we did convert about 70 1121's and 1231's to LWAPP and it worked very well. Here are some relevant docs;
Upgrading Autonomous Cisco Aironet Access Points to Lightweight Mode
From this excellent doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html
The following Cisco Aironet access points have the ability to operate as autonomous access points or lightweight access points:
Cisco Aironet 1240 AG Series Access Points
Cisco Aironet 1230 AG Series Access Points
Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points that contain 802.11g (AIR-MP21G-x-K9) and/or second-generation 802.11a radios (AIR-RM21A-x-K9 or AIR-RM22A-x-K9)
Cisco Aironet 1130 AG Series Access Points
Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points that contain 802.11g radios (AIR-AP1121G-x-K9)
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Points/Bridges (AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 or AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R).

Self-Signed Certificate Manual Addition to the Controller for LWAPP-Converted APs
LWAPP secures the control communication between the AP and the WLC by means of a secure key distribution. The secure key distribution requires already provisioned X.509 digital certificates on both the LAP and the WLC. Factory-installed certificates are referenced with the term "MIC", which is an acronym for Manufacturing Installed Certificate. Aironet APs that shipped before July 18, 2005, do not have MICs. So these APs create an SSC when they are converted to operate in lightweight mode. Controllers are programmed to accept SSCs for the authentication of specific APs.

Silly doubt abt access-points and bridges

hi all i have read cisco doc wherein clients connecting to access-points and also where the cisco access-point is working like a bridge and still clients can connect to it .
then any specific reason why people generally connect clients to access-points.
i mean is there any benefit of either method over the other.
any help and guidance would be really helpful.
regards
sushil

In short, it is preferred to have users connect to access points.... 99% of the time. You can use a wireless bridge (that is associated to an AP) that is connected to a switch/hub to supply network connectivity to wired users off the switch/hub. There are also access points that can be used as a bridge for building point to point connectivity.
Look at the home users with wireless.... it allows then to move from place to place (as long as there is coverage) without having to be wired in.

Broadcast SSID only on defined Access Points?

I'm using a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller 5508, 14x Access Points 1041 and 6x Access Points 1031 in combination with a NCS 1.0.
Is it possible to broadcast SSID'S only on defined Access Points, e.g. AP 1-3,7-10,18? If yes, what have I to do?
Kind regards
Kai

Quick question, can you validate the below scenario please
We have seven SSIDs
WLAN           Dynamc Interface that its mapped to
WHSE10          VLAN10-10.0.10.0/24
WHSE20          VLAN20-10.0.20.0/24
WHSE30          VLAN30-10.0.30.0/24
WHSE40          VLAN40-10.0.40.0/24
Office50           VLAN50-10.0.50.0/23
Office60           VLAN60-10.0.60.0/23
Guest70           VLAN70-172.16.8.0/23
we have around 40 access points in the warehouse and 20 APs in the office, and we are broadcasting SSIDs everywhere, means office and guest SSID s exist on the WHSE APS and WHSE SSID s exist on office APs.
Does having more SSIDs on the APs affects its power (Signal strength) in anyway?
APgroup1- WHSE-GROUP- (will add VLAN10,VLAN20,VLAN30,VLAN40 interfaces)
APgroup2- WHSE-OFFICE- (Will add all VLANS-10,20,30,40,50,60 and 70)
APgroup3- OFFICE-GROUP-( Will add only office and Guest WLANs- VLAN50,60 and 70)
We won't need to broadcast any WHSE SSIDs in the office area so we will add the Office APS to ---- APgroup3- OFFICE-GROUP
The WHSE APS will need to advertise both office and WHSE SSID s but we don't need to broadcast Office SSIDs everywhere in the warehouse, so we assign some APs in WHSE to APgroup2- WHSE-OFFICE and some to APgroup1- WHSE-GROUP
How does the client roaming work in the above scenario when they move from APs in APgroup1 to APs in APgroup2 (I don't think this will be any different than normal client roaming from one AP to another AP but I want to make sure)
Thanks for the help

Hi All
I restarted the Access Point and will see what happens. Our Access Point and WLC are in the Same VLAN.
WLC is connected to Layer3 switch and the port is configured as Trunk port with additional command switchport trunk native vlan 12.
The access point ports configured are also configured as
switchport mode trunk
swichport trunk native vlan 12
Are these configuration correct for controller and Access Point.
