Access Point configuration for flat network

We have recently aquired a remote location which has a pre-existing flat network (172.16.X.X/16). Before we are able to convert them over to our new IP scheme, they have a need to have wireless connectivity on site. We have 4 1142's which I need to configure for them. I have experience configuring WLC's and autonomous AP's for networks with multiple vlans but have never configured AP's for a flat, single subnet network. I need to configure them for either guest access (internet only) or corporate access to network resources with radius authentication. Do I configure a native vlan as I would for a typical multi vlan network? Do I configure the switch port as an access port as opposed to a trunk beacause of the lack of layer 3? I basically need a sample configuration for this situation.

since you are on flat network, you just need to configure the SSID, no need for subinterfaces.  With the AP only servicing the one VLAN you can leave the port as an access port as well.
as they are on the only subnet, I wouldn't do a 'guest' SSID.  I would go with just the corporate SSID with WPA2/AES/802.1x.  So the config is exactly the same for the RADIUS server and the SSID, but greatly simplified since you don't have to sub-interface anything.

  • Scanning Access Points configured with JAPAN channels - 184,188 etc

    Hi,
    I have configured the below mentioned configuration for my Access Point. These wireless networks are not appearing in windows client network list. I have tried explicit scan also. Still it is not showing networks with 184,188 channels. But it is showing all remaining networks.
    Country code: JAPAN
    SSID for WLAN 1: Wireless Network1
    WLAN 1 mode: 5 GHz 54Mbps (802.11a)
    WLAN 1 auto channel: Enabled
    WLAN 1 channel: 184 (4920MHz)
    WLAN 1 alt. channel: 188 (4940MHz)
    SSID for WLAN 2: Wireless Network2
    WLAN 2 mode: 5 GHz 54Mbps (802.11a)
    WLAN 2 auto channel: Enabled
    WLAN 2 channel: 188 (4940MHz)
    I am using CISCO AIRONET 802.11a/b/g WIRELESS ADAPTER. This problem can occur due to the following reasons.
    (1) Do I need to set any region settings at Adapter?
    (2) Does adapter firmware depends upon
    country? How do I check the adapter firware?
    (3) Is there anything wrong with adapter vendor driver? Do I need to set anything in driver level for supporting JAPAN channels.
    Anyone please help me to identify and resolve the above problem.
    Thanks

    Ensure the world mode in the adapter is enabled so that it can scan any of the country channels. Ensure that the Broadcast option is enabled for the WLAN and that the SSID has been enabled on the corresponding Radios of the access point .

    What channels are available? The 802.11b standard defines a total of 14 frequency channels. The FCC allows channels 1 through 11 within the U.S.; whereas, most of Europe can use channels 1 through 13. In Japan, you have only one choice: channel 14.
    An important concept to note regarding channel assignments is that the channel actually represents the center frequency that the transceiver within the radio and access point uses (e.g., 2.412 GHz for channel 1 and 2.417 GHz for channel 2). There is only 5 MHz separation between the cente frequencies, and an 802.11b signal occupies approximately 30 MHz of the frequency spectrum. The signal falls within about 15 MHz of each side of the center frequency. As a result, an 802.11b signal overlaps with several adjacent channel frequencies. This leaves you with only three channels (channels 1, 6, and 11 for the U.S.) that you can use without causing interference between access points.

  • 301 access point configuration

    In Nokia manuals I found no information about access point configuration.
    In my 301 I have two “path”.
    1). at configuration/data communication/access point.  There I see 10 access point configuration.
    2). at configuration/personal configuration.  There I can create detailed “personal” configurations and later can use it as active.  
    Question #1: what is the priority between 1 and 2? I mean 2 overwrite 1 or this two have coexistence?
    Question #2: At personal configuration I can assign a flowing type of “subconfiguration”:  “Web”, “Multimedia”, ” Continuous download”, “Access Point”. What is scope of each subconfiguration? I mean for example “Web” and “Access Point” is not a same?
    Question #3: There is any useful manual about 301 access point configuration?
    Thanks for any advice…

    kzsolt wrote:

    None. That first path you mentioned, that ‘active access point’ is just for computer tethering …
    kzsolt wrote:

    Can be. ‘Access Point’ is the preferred access point which your Nokia uses for all its built-in apps. With ‘Web’ you can override that for HTTP(S) based apps because some operators did have WAP proxies in the past. Nowadays, with modern contracts, you just create one Access Point account, there you specify the APN. And then you create a Web account and leave it at its defaults.
    kzsolt wrote:

    Not aware of. This concept was introduced in 2004 and I never met anyone at Nokia who understood that concept. Therefore, Nokia has problems to explain it. Actually, the software engineer who created it in 2003/2004 did not understand it either because, from the user interface, it is not possible to create a WAP proxy for an ‘Access Point’ which left many users in the dark …
    Therefore, if you have a question, just ask us, please. Did that help?

  • Wap200 wireless access point configuration

    hi guys
    I have a wap200 wireless access point configured and connected to the switch 2690 switch on vlan1, when I connect the wireless access points to the switch the port become disabled, is there a way to overcme this problem.
    thank you

    Hi Senzo.
    Do you know the reason for the port becoming disabled? Can you run a "show int status err" on the switch and see if it give a reason for the port shutting down?

  • Using several UMTS access points (APN) for different services

    Hello,
    I wonder if it is possible to use several UMTS access points (APN) for different services.
    situation:
    1) The iPhone is used for business AND private purposes.
    2) The company's mobile telephone contract includes a APN, which is only usable by the employees' mobile phones.
    problem / question:
    Is it possible to define two access points in the iPhone, that for example the exchange account uses the company's APN, while all the other apps use the standard APN of the carrier?
    Problem is, that some iPhone's benefits like Push-Messages are blocked by the carrier's APN. Now, I have to switch the access point by installing the appropriate profile every time I want to check my e-mails or vice versa for using "normal" apps.
    I hope you can hep me.

    Thanks for your help! This really helps a lot! We actually only want to replace the autonmous access point with the controller solution and make one WLAN available at another site. From what I can see, this is possible with our current solution - we just need to switch from Layer 2 to Layer 3 and purchase the corresponding amount of supported Access Points (I think we should be able to get some refurbished ones).
    Am I correct in assuming that the Access Points we want to replace (AIR-AP1230B-E-K9 with 802.11b radio only) cannot be upgraded to lightweight ones? Since if I understood document http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html correctly, this is not possible with access points that only have 802.11b radios.
    Regarding the switch from Layer 2 to Layer 3: Do we really only need to perform the steps I described in my first post?
    And one last question regarding REAP. As far as I understood this is only needed when local traffic needs to be maintained in case the connection to the WLC becomes unavailable. So we really don't need it if we want to access resources that are only available over the WLC?
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Nokia Email Access Point Configuration Disappeared

    I`ve just upgraded to the new Nokia Email client on my N95-1 (model RM-159). It says it's version 9.04 (21).
    Since upgrading, I haven't been able to configure the Access Point to be used by the email app, which used to be under General|Service Info. This is quite important to me, since I only want to let the app work when using WiFi.
    Does anyone know what happened, or how can I fix it ?

    This works for the E71: for the time being a workaround for the access point problem:  
    I set my SmartConnect connection (you can only download this from the Download icon on your phone) group as the default APN, I have the client using Wifi if available and the cellular network if not. This MUST be configured at initial setup, ie when you install Nokia Messaging, change it from "default" to the SmartConnect access point group. 

  • SmartConnect fails when GPRS access point configur...

    I am trying to configure SmartConnect to cycle between a Wi-Fi and a GPRS access point.
    The GPRS access point allows only HTTP/HTTPS traffic through a proxy server (this is a limitation of my service package through the mobile operator; direct Internet connectivity is much more expensive).
    When using an HTTP application (e.g. Opera, Gmail) directly with the GPRS access point, everything works fine.
    However, if I use the application with the SmartConnect access point, the connection fails.
    Just for testing, I replaced the GPRS access point with one that allows direct internet connectivity without a proxy server (at a much higher cost) -  everything worked fine.
    So, I concluded that this is a bug in SmartConnect - they didn't take into account the fact that the access point may work only through a proxy server, and maybe they do some kind of connectivity check that is not HTTP and that fails. I tried to look everywhere support contact information for Birdstep but couldn't find any.
    Has anybody encountered this? Or does anyone have contact information for Birdstep's support? I am guessing the fix probably super-simple.
    ==============================================
    Summary of my settings:
    Device: Nokia E51
    Access Points under Connection settings:
        1 - "Home WLAN" - WiFi, my home WLAN network
        2 - "IL Orange WAP" - GPRS with Proxy Server that allows HTTP/HTTPS to the Internet (and unlimited WAP)
        3 - "IL Orange Internet" - GPRS without proxy server that allows direct Internet connectivity without limitations
    SmartConnect configuration that doesn't work:
        Priority 1: "Home WLAN"
        Priority 2: "IL Orange WAP"
    SmartConnect configuration that does work:
        Priority 1: "Home WLAN"
        Priority 2: "IL Orange Internet"
    Does SmartConnect perform some connectivity check prior to "releasing" the connection to the applications?
    ===================================================

    Just got this from Birdstep's support:
    "SmartConnect is not using the proxy setting of the connection. This is known problem with SmartConnect. Currently there is no fix or workaround for it".
    So that seems to be the end of it, for now at least.

  • Cisco Access Point Configuration to support 802.11b & 802.11g protocol

    How do i Configure access point to support both 802.11b & 802.11g clients on a Cisco 1121G series access point(AIR-AP1121G-A-K9)
    Regards
    Hitesh

    Hi Hitesh,
    Check out this excerpt from the 1121g AP Installation guide section on enabling the 802.11b and 802.11g radios.
    In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA and later, the access point radios are disabled by default, and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radios before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of newly installed access points. Refer to the "Configuring Basic Security Settings" section for instructions on configuring the SSID.
    In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or earlier, the access point radio is enabled by default, and the default SSID is tsunami.
    To enable the radio interfaces, follow these instructions:
    Step 1 Use your web-browser to access your access point.
    Step 2 When the Summary Status page displays, click Network Interfaces > Radio0-802.11B or Radio0-802.11G and the radio status page displays.
    Step 3 Click Settings and the radio settings page displays
    Step 4 Click Enable in the Enable Radio field.
    Step 5 Click Apply.
    Here is a link to the actual document:

  • Can I use Airport Express (1st gen.) as a wired access point to my wifi Network

    Guys
    I'm using 10.8.4 with the older 6.3 airport utility. I have a Airport Express A1084 (1st. Gen).
    I'm trying to use it, connected to my wireless network, but have a wired ethernet cable from the Airport Express connected to a device. I tried connecting via wire to another laptop to access the web and it doesn't work.
    Any ideas if I can even do this, or do I just buy a new Express Airport. I just want to extend the network using my wireless to a wired device, but don't want to run a cable, because of the distance.
    Thank you
    John

    Bob, I hope you can help me too.  I have 4th generation (? - the flat, square model that was recently replaced) Time Capsule/Airport that I bought to extend my Verizon DSL dry loop modem/wireless signal througout the house and to the guest house.  I now know that it cannot be achieved due to Apple negligence in informing customers that the capsule will only extend from another apple airport product. 
    My question:
    Should I connect it via ethernet to my DSL modem and create a new network, but use the SAME network name, passcodes, etc?  Will that Strengthen my existing wireless signal or will both machines butt heads and duke it out, so to speak?
    B/C, I did have two separate networks going for about a year, different names for each network, and suddenly, the wireless part of the Verizon DSL modem died, and Verizon replaced the entire modem with the Actiontec modem.  So I am concerned that reconnecting the Time Capsule/Airport may damage teh Verizon modem, if that is why just the wireless part of the previous modem failed. 
    Suffice it to say, am very disappointed in the Time Capsule/Airport.  It replaced an older, bigger Western Digital external hard drive that was so easy to use and reliable; am still using it, but it has no wireless signal boost capability, so I purchased the Time Capsule/Airport. 
    Thank you for your help.

  • Nokia E6 - Where is the Access point setting for Y...

    I have my Nokia E6 configured for my Corporate Email, MfE and it works fine.  In the settings for MfE, I see a setting for Access Point, where I choose Internet with Priority 1 as my Home WLAN and Priority 2 as my GPRS connection.
    Then, I started to configure my private Yahoo mail, evertyhing is done, it works fine, but I do not see any settings for Access Point for the Yahoo mail..
    Does this mean it picks up the settings from MfE??? 
    Can any other NOkia E6 users or experts comment on this??

    Hi Stuart,
    To answer your question:
    There is no shared secret for the ACS itself.
    If the ACS is going to communicate with another device, you have to define a AAA client and define a shared secret.
    ACS 4, used that shared secret to protect/secure the replication, in ACS 5, the replication secured with encryption and not shared secrets(hash).

  • Wireless access point advice for SMB (5 users)

    I have a small site, 12 employees, five of whom will need wireless access to the LAN.
    This site has an 877 (not 877W) and so I need a wireless access point.
    I've been looking at the Cisco Aironet 1130AG. Can anyone make a recommendation, something that will be the same or similar to configure as wireless services on the 800 series wireless routers.
    There is no domain or radius server, so any user authentication will need to be handled by the AP.
    Any useful information would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gareth

    You're on the right track. The 1131AG is a great platform for small offices. It has built in antennas and is not offensive looking when mounted to the ceiling. Running a single 1131AG would allow you to run RADIUS locally on the AP so you could still use EAP security types such as EAP-FAST with WPA2.
    Once you go to deploy, there are plenty of us here on the forum that can help if you run into config gotchas.
    Of course I'll include the standard disclaimer that your coverage might vary based on the building construction, so you could need multiple APs to cover enough area. If certain coverage is absolutely mandatory, you should consider a site-survey beforehand.

  • Infrastructure access point unreachable for management, but is passing traffic.

    We have 2 aironet 1310 aps setup as infrastructure access points between 2 buildings.  One went south on us & we placed it.  Before the bad one went down, we were able to manage both remotely & could see them from the next device via CDP.  Now, we can't connect or even ping either AP.  And the weird part is that the switches that connected to each can see each other via CDP, but not the access points between them.  I'm attaching the configuration.  Before I make the 2.5 hour drive back to the site, does anyone have an idea on what I may have misconfigured on either or both access points?

  • Access points configuration

    What is best practise to configure 10 access points? working on project in big warehouse.
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support Android App

    Hi,
    You can use any option  you like to get the access points to join the WLC.
    If the access points are on the same subnet as the WLC then you can stay with basic layer 2 discovery method that what the AP will do is once it gets an IP address if will send a broadcast request on the same subnet to join a WLC and since there is a WLC on the same subnet it will reply back and the AP will be able to join the WLC.
    If the access points are on a different subnet then the WLC you need to use a layer 3 discovery method so that the AP can learn the IP address of the WLC that is on a different subnet and send a unicast join request to the specifc IP address.
    The options would be option 43 or DNS lockup.
    DNS option.
