Autonomous Wireless Point-to-Point bridge

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I am having difficulty finding documenation on hwo to properly configure Cisco 1552e AP's in Autonomous Mode as Point to Point wireless bridges with just utilizing the wireless link as a backhaul, not client access. We have to go with autonomous because we plan on having Local Mode ap's (CAPWAP) terminated behind the MAP ethernet bridged port. Here is our topology:
Local Network (Controller resides on this network) ---------> L2 Switch ----------> RAP --------> wireless bridge <---------- MAP <----------> L2 Switch ----> Clients\CAPWAP AP's (servicing clients)
We want to pass all the VLANs we will need for both the wired network and CAPWAP network.
Thoughts?

This is extremely useful and the exact configuration we are looking to do.
Is there a limit on the number of Bridge-Groups that can be used (essentially number of VLANs)?
Also are you familiar with running Mesh AP's in autonomous mode? Do we lose any features other than management by moving them from CAPWAP to Autonomous?
We have to run these in autonomous because our MAP end will run 3602i local mode APs, so lame that Cisco wont support Capwap over CAPWAP based mesh bridge.

3502p AccessPoint support MESH and Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging with Outdoor Antennas??

I need to know if 3502p with outdoor antennas supports Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging??

The 3502p is only used for arenas and or stadiums. These are different units than the 3500's and 3600's. So no they can't be.
You can use Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge for a wireless link between two buildings (1km) to extend your LAN. For more detail you can go through the below link.

Wireless Bridge Point to Point

I need to traverse 6 miles point to point. Does that mean I need to use the 1400 with a dish antenna? Does it also mean I need the N version at 28 db?

You could use the 1400 with integrated antenna. At full power they will go about 12 miles.
You could go with 60mW and you must be 36 feet above all obstructions.

WLC and Point-to-Point Bridge/Repeater

Hi all,
I have a WLC2125 and 11 LAPs installed in our warehouse. There is going to be one additional AP but the problem is we can´t provide cabling in that area. The idea is to have this additional AP connected to one of the existing LAPs and repeat the signal of it or to create point-to-point link, the question is, would LAPs and WLC support such configuration, is it possible at all? If so, please let me know the config process or some documentation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Q> I can´t eliminate WLC from my network,
>> Mesh network will not work without WLC.
Q> instead I thought of leaving one LAP as autonomous AP and bridging it with the new AP that will not have a physical connection
>> The only way to Integrate the Autonomous AP to LWAPP AP is by using the WGB Mode, the REPEATER is not supported and even the Point to Point bridging. The WGB doesnot provide Wireless where in you can conect a switch and conect wired clients to it.

WLC code for point to point bridging

What is the best WLC code for point to point and point to multipoint bridging on a 2504 with 2602 APs? 7.2-7.4 had transparent vlan issues and I'm not sure if they were fixed in 7.5-7.6. We have 5-6 vlans that we are needing to bridge between a large open area. Also, are there any bugs with wireless mesh and ISE?

You do not have many choices now, only 7.0.250.0, 7.4.121.0 & 7.6.110.0 codes are supported by Cisco. All other codes have been deferred by them.
I do not have configured those set-up to advise you specific to that. I would think 7.6.110.0 may have fixed whatever the known bugs in previous versions.

Air Bridge 1310 - Configuring QOS on Point to Point

I have 2 BR1310 Air Bridge's configured for a point to point connection, one is root,one is non-root. In configuring QOS for VOIP for the first time, I'm looking for a best practice configuration.
Behind each bridge is a 3560 switch that has QOS configured on each switchport. Our environment consists of 7960 desk phones.

Hi Michael,
Have a look at these docs. Hopefully they will help get you started;
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Software Configuration Guide, 12.3(4) JA
Chapter 14 - Configuring QoS
This chapter describes how to configure quality of service (QoS) on your access point/bridge. With this feature, you can provide preferential treatment to certain traffic at the expense of others. Without QoS, the access point/bridge offers best-effort service to each packet, regardless of the packet contents or size. It sends the packets without any assurance of reliability, delay bounds, or throughput.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/12.3_4_JA/configuration/guide/o13qos.html
Giving Priority to Voice Traffic
This section demonstrates how you can apply a QoS policy to your wireless network's voice VLAN to give priority to wireless phone traffic.
In this example, the network administrator creates a policy named voice_policy that applies voice class of service to traffic from Spectralink phones (protocol 119 packets). The user applies the voice_policy to the incoming and outgoing radio ports and to the outgoing Ethernet port for VLAN 77.
Use the Apply Policies to Interface/VLANs drop-down menus to apply policies to the access point Ethernet and radio ports. If VLANs are configured on the access point, drop-down menus for each VLANs' virtual ports appear in this section. If VLANs are not configured on the access point, drop-down menus for each interface appear.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/12.3_4_JA/configuration/guide/o13qos.html#wp1047736
Hope this helps!

Point to point wireless using 1310 and 1231 on each site

Hi,
I have an implementation right now with wireless point to point bridging connection. I installed a 1310 with 24 dBi external antenna on one site and a 1231 AP/bridge with 24 dBi antenna on the other site. Has anyone of you tried this set-up. I have no problem with the connection and pinging is ok. However when I tested the throughput I only got 2Mbps in which the distance between the two sites is only 2 kms. I am hoping to have a throughput about 20 Mbps and up.

When you configure the AP radio, you must consider the type of clients that are present in the wireless network. If the AP has an 802.11g radio and the WLAN has only 802.11g clients, you can set one or more data rates to Basic and all other data rates to Enabled However, if you have a mixed environment of both 802.11b and 802.11g clients in a WLAN network, you must ensure that only the rates that 802.11b supports are set to Basic (or Require in GUI). If data rates that the 802.11b radio does not support (such as 12 Mbps) are set to Basic on the AP radio, the 802.11b clients are not able to associate to the AP.
Alternatively, you can configure the AP radio to select data rates on the basis of range or throughput. When you configure the AP radio to select data rates for range, the AP sets the lowest data rate to Basic and the other rates to Enabled. In this way, the AP can cover a wider area. However, the data rate comes down as the distance from the AP to the client increases. If you configure the AP radio for throughput, the AP sets all data rates to Basic. This configuration ensures a consistent throughput throughout the coverage area.

Aironet 1400 Point to Multipoint Bridging

Hello Everybody
I`m already desinging a Wireless Point to Multipoint Bridging with Aironet 1400. I was Wondering if on the Central point the 1400 should has a external omnidireccional anntena to support all the others bridges... that is: this AP will be the multipoint bridge.
Could I use all the 1400 AP with integrated anntenas and get that the Central AP work in a multipoint configuration?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Cisco Aironet 1400 has a model with integrated 22.5 dBi patch array antenna, the AIR-BR1410A-A-K9.
The integrated radio and high-gain integrated patch array antenna is used in point-to-point links and the non-root nodes of point-to-multipoint networks.
You can (need to) use the external omnidirectional AIR-ANT58G9VOA-N antenna type for your N-type root bridge unit (AIR-BR1410A-A-K9-N).
Basically, these models are ideal for each other in both point-to-point & point-to-multipoint connectivity scenarios.
Cisco 1400 N-type is recommended to use the following external antenna type:
* 9.0 dBi vertically polarized omni antenna --> you need this
* 9.5 dBi sector antenna with support for vertical or horizontal linear polarization
* 28.0 dBi dish antenna with support for vertical or horizontal linear polarization

AP1242G Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration

Hi,
I have two Cisco AP 1242G and i'm trying to configurate a Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration to connect two wired LAN. Figure 1.8
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/installation/guide/130h_c1.html
I would connect two wired networks.
I tryed two configurations:
Root and Non-Root AP. This way every wired PC on the Root AP can connect to the Access points, but cannot connect to the wired PC on the Non-Root AP.
AP and WGB. Even this way the wired computers on one AP cannot connect to the wired PC on the WGB. This way only the wireless client can connect to the wired network.
Any advise? This is my network:
Root Bridge                                 Non Root Bridge
10.0.0.1                                      10.0.0.2
Wired clients on the RB                Wired clients on the Non RB
10.0.0.100                                   10.0.0.200

Thank you for the answer.

Wireless Point to Point Cisco 1242ag

Hi
Is it possible to set up some sort of authentication where the root bridge and non-root bridge only associate with the opposites MAC address?

Have a look at the link provided. There are ways of adding encryption and passwords to your point-to-point bridge. My recommendation is to go this way. It's alot quicker and easier to maintain.

Troubleshooting wireless point to point

We have a wireless point to point link using two 1310 bridges between our campus and a remote building about 5 blocks away. Recently the link has started to go down often during the day. The following is what I am seeing in the logs:
Feb 10 04:35:04.171: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating

From some of the research I have done this is could be due to excessive noise.
Here are some of the stats from the root bridge.

Is there anything I can tweak on the bridges to stabilize the connection? Also, could someone explain what are good and what are bad readings for both signal strength and signal to noise?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jeff

SNR - 25 dBm higher is better.
Signal Strength - -65 dBm and lower is better.

1310 point-to-point bridge in Lightweight mode

how is the 1130 point-to-point bridge work in lighteight mode ?
Is this supported on 5508 and on new 2500 series controllers?
How does the WCS manage the point-to-point link?
I am aware that there is Lightweight software for the 1300 series bridges but never used one so far

"Ethernet Bridging" is a feature within our Mesh Deployments. "Enterprise Wireless Mesh" (indoor mesh) is the name for using non-mesh APs 1130 and 1240 models (1140, 3500 I think are supported in 7MR1).
Anyhow, the general idea behind Indoor Mesh or Outdoor mesh is still the same....
One device closest to the WLC is the Root AP, a 2nd device associates as a Mesh AP, and if you enable Ethernet Bridging then all traffic can bridge from the MAPs ethernet interface to the RAPs interface, similar to an aIOS bridge....
But again, 1310 is not a supported model for mesh.
I guess this link might have more information?

Is AIR-OPT60-DHCP available on autonomous AIR-SAP2602I access point?

Hello Wireless Experts,
I was able to order AIR-OPT60-DHCP on controller based AP AIR-CAP2602I-E-K9 using CCW, but this option is not available on autonomous AIR-SAP2602I access points.
Is AIR-OPT60-DHCP available on autonomous AIR-SAP2602I access point?
Thanks.
George

That is a feature and only used in lightweight access points. The standalone autonomous access points don't use that. Just follow the configuration guide for your access point to get you started.
