Cisco aironet 1142 -- LIGHTWEIGHT

Hello, Good morning
     Can anyone help me with the case below?
     We have a Cisco aironet 1162N connected to a Wireless Controller (LIGHTWEIGHT mode), the device failed and it needs to be replaced.
     We have a Cisco aironet 1142N in stock available to use.
     Can we proceed with the change just with disconnect the failed AP (model: 1162N ) and connect the new one (model: 1142N)?
     Or there is any other task to be done before the change? since the WLC manages the configuration for each AP.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jefry

If the AP connected switch has Management vlan of WLC then new AP can be joined to WLC without manual intervention and can change the HA.
Unfortunately, telnet & ssh is disabled on out of box AP, even it is enabled it is not supported until it joins the WLC. However through console you can configure HA, manually join AP to specific WLC,..
Out of box AP configuration:-
Configuring AP info:-
Debug capwap console cli
Debug capwap client no-reload
capwap ap hostname
capwap ap ip address
capwap ap ip default-gateway
capwap ap controller ip address
Configuring HA on AP manually:-
capwap ap primary-base
capwap ap secondary-base
capwap ap tertiary-base
How to manually force an AP to join specific WLC:-
test capwap controller ip
test capwap controller name

Apple MAC Bonjour and Cisco Aironet 1142

Hi All,
   Hope all is well.
   We have a strange issue with our two Aironet 1142s and how it interacts with our Apple laptops. When we try printing to a printer in one room connected to (let's call it Aironet 2) we can't. We attempt to browse using Bonjour (Apple's protocol) to the printer and can't. HOWEVER.. we can print and browse fine when we're using Aironet 1.
   Another strange thing is when we're on Aironet 2 we can ping to the printers just fine, just can't browse to is using Bonjour nor print of course.
Please help! Any inputs appreciated.
-Tom

Natalia,
You need to do the following to make Bonjour printing to work.
Have multicast enabled on the wired side for all the vlans involved (management, ap manager, client, APs). if any of these vlans are not properly setup, then bonjour will not work.
Wired Side:
Router:
ip multicast-routing (enable multicast globally)
For each vlan interface enable ip pim sparse-dense-mode:
conf t
interface vlan x
ip pim spare-dense-mode (there may be a syntax error, dont have router access at the moment)
also you may need to configure a rendevouz point which you can set to layer 3 interface of the management vlan.
For example (management ip 10.1.1.10 and g/w is 10.1.1.1)
ip pim rp-address 10.1.1.1 (again syntax maybe incorrect)
Note: you will have to configure the same on all routers in between the WLC and the APs
Also make sure that the ipads/iphones and wireless printers are connected to the same ssid (same vlan). Bonjour uses link local address which are not routable.
on the WLC, set up multicast multicast mode with a unique mutlicast ip address. Also, on the multicast tab, Controller > multicast > enable global multicast.
There is a catch here. You will mostly likely have to turn off IGMP snooping on the controller (controller > multicast > disable igmp snooping). I have learnt it the hard way that some of the apple devices dont send the igmp join reports.

Aironet 1142 In Home Configuration

A client of ours was having problems connecting to their terminal server environment wireless from home. I've narrowed it down to their wireless network at home. An Aironet 1142 was purchased to be placed on their home network to ensure that wireless connectivity would not be an issue going forward.
I'm in the process of configuring it for use, but I'm unable to connect to the web interface and I don't have a rollover cable handy to get to the console. It's currently connected directly to a typical in home cisco switch (not a managed switch). I'm also connected via ethernet. I've confirmed that the WAP pulls an IP address from the DHCP server, but the LED indicator on it is flashing red, green, and amber. The setup guide mentions that it'll do that if it can't reach the management box, but in a home network I'm not really sure what that would indicate.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I was instructed to have it delivered to the client's home by 8am tomorrow...

So, it's a lightweight AP? And you need to convert to IOS?
Download an IOS image
Set your comp ethernet IP to 10.0.0.2
Set up comp as TFTP server using the ethernet interface
Drop IOS image into TFTP folder and rename file to: c1140-k9w7-tar.default
Connect LAP to comp using ethernet
Turn on LAP while holding the reset button in
Wait until lights turn red
LAP will download firmware and reload

Configuring CISCO AIRONET AP

Hello;
how to configure the IP Adress of CISCO AIRONET 1600i AP to access It through the Web browser and configure It?
we tried to assign a static IP using CLI so we downloaded Tera Term and tried to connect It using the DB Cable. The following message shows up:
*Mar 1 01:41:43.674: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC using DHCP IP. Renewing DHCP IP.
we tried to execute 'Enable' command and It works then we tried to execute 'config t' command but failed (the other commands do not work too):
APf07f.06f0.93b5#config t

I connected the Aironet AP to a Router which has 192.168.1.1 as a default IP Adress and thats what shows up on the terminal:
Translating "CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.Home"...domain server (192.168.1.1)

Hi
By default these AP comes with lightweight image & require a WLC to manage it.(unless you specifically order this AP with autonomous image)
If you want to convert it autonomous (to use without a WLC) then you have to load an autonomous image to it. You should have an image like this (ap1g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JAB.tar) to begin with (you may require a valid maintenance contract to download this from cisco web site)
Then you can follow one of the methods to convert it to a autonomous AP

Cisco Aironet 1510

On the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point spec sheet from the Cisco.com website, it states that the input power for the DC inline POE is 28.5 W at 48 VDC, nominal. What is the maximum power at 48 VDC? On AC, the nominal power is 57.8W at 120 VAC. What is the maximum power at 120 VAC?
Also, I see that the Cisco 1510 only uses AC as a source. Does Cisco have a device for the Cisco Aironet 1510 that uses DC as a source? For example, instead of using the POE Injector that Cisco has, which uses an input of 120VAC (1.5A) and outputs 48VDC (1.2A), does Cisco have a POE Injector that uses an input of 12VDC and outputs 48VDC (1.2A).

I think the maximum draw (with both radios and heater on) is 57.8 Watts, but with the heater not active it's much lower around 36.84 Watts.

Cisco Aironet FW 15.2 Does not work with Non-Cisco Media Bridges

I have a Cisco Aironet 1142i that was just updated from 12.4(23c)JY to 15.2(4)JA1 (don’t think model matters as the issue seem to be the firmware) and now I cannot get my media bridges (3 different ones) to either connect to the 1142 AP or obtain and pass the DHCP addresses to other device connected to the built in switch. If I reload the 1142 AP firmware to 12.4, than this works fine. I have not seen anything in the release notes that changed how this works or if there is I could not find it.
Does anyone know why this changed and if there is any settings that I need to enabled / disable?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

More info to add to this.
AIR-AP1142N-A-K9 Hardware Version of v06 works with firmware 15.2.
AIR-AP1142N-A-K9 Hardware Version v05 does not work with firmware 15.2, but will when downgraded to firmware 12.4.
I'm also having this issue with Cisco Aironet 3602 Fw 15.2(2)JB and 3502 Fw 15.2(2)JB$ that's on a Cisco 2500 WLAN Controller Sw Ver. 7.4.100.0.

Cisco Aironet 1200 LAP Issues - LAP to Autonomous Mode

Greetings! After purchasing 4 of the Cisco Aironet 1200 G Series WAPs, I'm now running into a slight issue with them.
I received these last week with the understanding that if I didn't have the Cisco controller device, I could convert them from being the Lightweight Access Point, back to Autonomous mode with an IOS.
With this, I checked the documentation that came with the device and found the "Upgrading Autonomous Cisco Aironet Access Points to Lightweight Mode" or http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=Getting%20Started%20with%20Wireless&needs_authentication=yes&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Dadd_discussion%26mode%3Dshow%26needs_authentication%3Dyes%26location%3D.ee7c7c3.
From there, I followed the instructions listed under Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode. Before the rename of the file, I checked the device and found AIR-LAP1242G-A-K9 for the Model No.
One of the Cisco Certified admins here was able to obtain the latest build for the IOS for the device or c1240-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEB1.tar. Per the instructions, I renamed the file to coincide with the model of the device.
I followed the instructions from there, and it looked as if everything was going well. However, after the upgrade, I'm running into an issue with the following:
File "flash:/c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEB1/c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEB1" uncompressed and installed, entry point: 0x3000
executing...
At this point, the device just locks up. All lights are lit green on the device. According do the documentation, it should reboot and from there, I should be able to access the web interface by IP.
I've tried to perform the upgrade again using the same IOS build, but the same thing happens with the lock up.
At this point, I'm assuming the issue is with the build of the IOS that I have and I may have to look at getting an older build. However, before doing so, I thought I would post something here to see if anyone had an idea.
I may have needed to refine my searching of the forums, but wasn't able to find anything in relation to my issue. If there is something out there, I do apologize for the post and will happily refer to any current information.
If you need any further information in relation to this, please let me know. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Jeffrey,
Reverting the Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
Have a look at Step 3
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.
From this doc;

How to change default admin password on Cisco Aironet 1040

How do I change the default username and password on the Cisco Aironet 1040. There is a default set and I want to change that to secure the device. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find the directions. Any ideas?

Hi Brian,
If this AP is already registered with a WLC then you can change it via WLC.
In WLC GUI, go to Wireless -> Select the AP -> Credential -> Override Global Credential-> Update username/pw/enable pw
In WLC CLI, you can configure it like this. If it is for all APs, then select all, otherwise AP name.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username admin password Cisco123 secret Cisco123 ?
all Applies the configuration to every AP that does not have a specific user name.
Enter the name of the Cisco AP.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username password secret
(WLC3) >save config
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
If it is Autonomous AP you can configure using the "username xxxx password xxx" IOS command

How many users are supported on a Cisco Aironet 1141N? 30?

I have a client that wants to upgrade his Aironet 1131 APs with 1141N. How many users are supported on a Cisco Aironet 1141N?

Yes, you could have 30 clients on the AP.
Client density all depends on what the client is doing, really.
So if you have clients that are just web surfing and pulling email 30+ isn't a problem. If they are all streaming video, then you want to plan for less clients per AP, and more APs.

Cisco Aironet 1300 QoS

Hello, I have 2 Cisco Aironet 1300 Bridges which provide data and voice communication between 2 buildings. Up until recently QoS has not been needed, but lately there appears to be congestion due to reports of poor voice quality. Building A houses a V3000 NBX Telephone system, Building B houses approximately 30 remote IP phones. Building A and Building B are approximately 100 yards apart. No VLAN's. Due to myself being an extreme noob to Cisco bridges, I was hoping some of you may have had experience in setting this up and hopefully provide some tips. I need to prioritize traffic on UDP ports 2093-2096 and TCP port 1040. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. My current running config is below:

Those are very old bridges. So if they are still functioning okay, do they require external antennas or not and do you have external antennas if they do?
