Bootup order on Cisco Aironet Access Points

Hello folks 
Could you please help me in clarifying the bootup order on Cisco Aironet Access Points 
Does the SNMP Agent on the device start before the Startup config is copied to Running Config ?
Because everytime the Cisco Aironet Access Point restart , SNMP trap  is generated from Admin down WLAN interfaces (Dot11Radio1/Dot11Radio0) mentioning "Administratively down " . 
So my best assumption is that 
Access point Restarts - > SNMP Engine starts -> Startup Config is copied to Running config -> Interface is made admin down -> SNMP Trap is sent 
Is that correct?
Please help !

The Clean Access Manager (CAM) manages out-of-band Clean Access Servers (CASs) and switches through the admin network. The trusted interface of the CAS connects to the admin/management network, and the untrusted interface of the CAS connects to the managed client network.
When a client connects to a managed port on a managed switch, the port is set to the authentication VLAN and the traffic to/from the client goes through the Clean Access Server. After the client is authenticated and certified through the Clean Access Server, the port connected to the client is changed to the access VLAN. Once on the access VLAN, traffic to and from certified clients bypasses the Clean Access Server.
In most OOB deployments (except L2 OOB Virtual Gateway where the Default Access VLAN is the Access VLAN in the Port profile), the client needs to acquire a different IP address from the Access VLAN after posture assessment.
For Real-IP/NAT-Gateway setup, the client port is bounced to prompt the client to acquire a new IP address from the admin/access VLAN.
The below URL describe the configuration steps needed to set up your OOB deployment:
•Configure Your Switches
•Configure OOB Switch Management in the CAM
•Configure Access to Authentication VLAN Change Detection

    Hi Niham,
    You can try few things to troubleshoot this -
    1. check the reachability of Radius server from your wlc (ping).
    2. verify the IP address of Raduis server configured on wlc.
    3. wlc in the Radius server ?
    4. Shared Secret must be same on wlc and in raduis server.
    Plz do not forget to rate useful post.

  • Cisco aironet access-point keep asking username/password

    Hi all,
    Some of my access-points (Light Weight) just keep asking username/passwords when accessed through web and clicked on any option available there. Any idea why that happens?
    Thanks in advance!
    Gaurav

    Some of my access-points (Light Weight) just keep asking username/passwords when accessed through web and clicked on any option available there.You sure it's LWAP?  The reason why I'm asking because you would NOT be able to access an LWAP over HTML because it's LWAP.

  • Cisco 1230 access point a radio lightweight mode

    Will the cisco 1230 access point work in lighweight mode if it is using a radio?

    The 1230 can be upgraded to LWAPP with the A Radio model listed below;
    Solution Requirements
    Migration from autonomous access point mode to lightweight mode is possible on these Cisco Aironet access point platforms:
    All 1130AG access points
    All 1240 AG access points
    For all IOS-based 1200 series modular access point (1200/1220 Cisco IOS Software Upgrade, 1210 and **1230 AP**) platforms, it depends on the radio:
    if 802.11G, MP21G and MP31G are supported
    if 802.11A, RM21A and RM22A are supported
    The 1200 series access points can be upgraded with any combination of supported radios: G only, A only, or both G and A.
    All 1310 AG access points

  • Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS Server and Aironet Access Points

    Hi Guys,
    I would like to go for "Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS Server and Aironet Access Points 1300". I want the AP to broadcast only 1 SSID. The client find the SSID ->put in his user credential->Raudius athentication->assign him to an specific vlan based on his groupship.
    The problem here is that I don't have a AP controller but only configurable Aironet Access Points 1300. I can connect to the radius server, but I am not sure how to confirgure the AP's port, radio port, vlan and SSID.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008076317c.shtml#switch
    I go through some references:
    3.5  RADIUS-Based VLAN Access Control
    As discussed earlier, each SSID is mapped to a default VLAN-ID on the wired side. The IT administrator may wish to impose back end (such as RADIUS)-based VLAN access control using 802.1X or MAC address authentication mechanisms. For example, if the WLAN is set up such that all VLANs use 802.1X and similar encryption mechanisms for WLAN user access, then a user can "hop" from one VLAN to another by simply changing the SSID and successfully authenticating to the access point (using 802.1X). This may not be preferred if the WLAN user is confined to a particular VLAN.
    There are two different ways to implement RADIUS-based VLAN access control features:
    1. RADIUS-based SSID access control: Upon successful 802.1X or MAC address authentication, the RADIUS server passes back the allowed SSID list for the WLAN user to the access point or bridge. If the user used an SSID on the allowed SSID list, then the user is allowed to associate to the WLAN. Otherwise, the user is disassociated from the access point or bridge.
    2. RADIUS-based VLAN assignment: Upon successful 802.1X or MAC address authentication, the RADIUS server assigns the user to a predetermined VLAN-ID on the wired side. The SSID used for WLAN access doesn't matter because the user is always assigned to this predetermined VLAN-ID.

    Thanks.

    I'm not sure if the Autonomous APs have the option for AAA Override.  On the WLC, I can go into the BSSID, Security, Advanced, and there's a checkbox that I would check to allow a Radius server to send back the VLAN.
    I did a little research and it looks like the 1300 may give this option but instead is defined as "VLAN Override".  I've found the release notes for 12.3(7)JA5 (not sure what version you're running) that give mention and a link to configuring EAP on page 4: http://www.ciscosystems.ch/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/release/notes/o37ja5rn.pdf

  • Cisco 2602 Access Point - Support

    Dear Team,
    Could you please advise, if Cisco 2602 Access Point supports IPS and CleanAir along with Access Point feature or does it need to work as standalone to have these functions enabled ?
    Regards,
    SID 

    Might as well add my 2¢
    In order to have CleanAir, you need a WLC.  In order to do IPS, wireless its called wIPS, you need an MSE and NCS or Prime Infrastructure.
    A standalone access point (autonomous) is just a dumb AP and can't perform any of those functions:)
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Cisco 1310 Access Point Rommon Mode

    Hello,
    So I have a Cisco 1310 Access Point that is in Rommon mode. I have the image on the Access point but I did not use the archive download command to extract it. When I use the
    tar -xtract flash://c1310-k9w7-tar[1].124-25d.JA2.tar flash:
    command It gets close to the end but doesnt finish saying there isnt enough space. When I try to delete the file using delete flash://
    c1310-k9w7-tar[1].124-25d.JA2 it wont allow me saying I do not have permission. I tried the rmdir command as well but had no luck. It wont allow me to use the tags /f /r for forceful and recursive, it doesnt recognize them. Anyone know how to delete a directory in rommon mode on an the 1310 access point?
    Thanks

    The delete /recursive /force flash:/ is what I use.  You might try to delete these files also:
    ap:delete flash:private-configap:delete flash:private-multiple-fs

  • PoE auto switchover with Cisco 1252 Access Point.

    Dear All
    I have a network for Managed Wireless using Cisco. This is a new network for me.
    I am in problem with Cisco Access Point 1252. My AP's are connected to a PoE Switch. And Cisco AP's are also connected Powered with also Power Adapter with UPS backup.
    But problem is if I disconnect power source of AP Power Adapter , AP is not getting up with PoE. PoE is up only when POWER PLUG of AP ADAPTER is physically pulled out from Socket.
    Question is if it is possible to make automatic Failover by PoE when Power source of AP ADAPTER is down ?? I mean no need to PULL OUT  POWER PLUG of AP ADAPTER.
    Waiting for your rely.
    It is very urgent .
    Thanking You
    Subrun.

    Hi Suburn,
    1- yes it is possible to do failover without unlupping the cable of AC adapter. When power on ACS adapter is off, then the faiolver happens.
    2- with regards to POE, if your switch supporting enhanced POE?

  • Strange VLAN issue on aironet access points

    I'm setting up some access points for WPA. I've ran into a strange issue. The client VLAN (VLAN that the users will be put into) is 1, and the native VLAN is 10. The RADIUS server is in VLAN 1 (but I have a test RADIUS server in VLAN 10 as well). I can connect from the access point to a RADIUS server in either VLAN, and from the RADIUS servers to the access point as well. When I point to a RADIUS server in VLAN10 authentication works fine. If I point to a RADIUS server that is located in VLAN1, and I put the wireless clients in VLAN10 it works fine. But for some reason when I have the RADIUS server and the clients in VLAN (1) and the native (BVI1) interface in VLAN 10 the authentication packets never seem to get to the RADIUS server. It is as if the authentication is being sources out of the wrong VLAN. I can?t find any docs to say that this isn?t a supported configuration.

    Hi Shannon,
    have a look here:

    - - - Snipp - - -
    Significance of Native VLAN
    When you use an IEEE 802.1Q trunk port, all frames are tagged except those on the VLAN configured as the "native VLAN" for the port. Frames on the native VLAN are always transmitted untagged and are normally received untagged. Therefore, when an AP is connected to the switchport, the native VLAN configured on the AP must match the native VLAN configured on the switchport.
    Note: If there is a mismatch in the native VLANs, the frames are dropped.
    This scenario is better explained with an example. If the native VLAN on the switchport is configured as VLAN 12 and on the AP, the native VLAN is configured as VLAN 1, then when the AP sends a frame on its native VLAN to the switch, the switch considers the frame as belonging to VLAN 12 since the frames from the native VLAN of the AP are untagged. This causes confusion in the network and results in connectivity problems. The same happens when the switchport forwards a frame from its native VLAN to the AP.

  • Mac mini not keeping connection with Cisco wireless access point

    I am trying to get my wife's Mac Mini to keep it's connection with the wireless network at her school. They are using a Cisco access point (not sure of the model) which works fine with my G4 Powerbook and the numerous Macbooks being used there, but for some reason her Mac Mini drops the connection after 4 or 5 minutes, at which point she needs to log right off for it to reconnect (as opposed to just turning the card off and on again). I have already gone through the deletion of the Networkinterfaces.plist file, and recreation of the Airport card profile process, but this only kept the interface active for about 36 hours, then it was back to the same old problem. At this point I am thinking "flakey card"...before I ship it off to Apple, can anyone offer any other possible solutions?

    After spending time on the phone with a Apple support technician, he indicated that the Iphone has a compatibility problem with the wep key encryption that the Cisco appliance uses. I find this disturbing being that Cisco is the biggest in network gear. What's UP Apple? We need SP1 for the IPHONE!!!
