Bridge to bridge and bridge to access-point via wireless is it possible.

here;s my topology i am trying to configure. i have a router whose ethernet is connected to a bridge.this bridge 1 is connected to a bridge 2 via wireless. now i am trying to connect a access-point via wireless to this bridge2. is it possible for bridge 2 to support connectivity to the bridge1 and the access-point both of them via wireless.
can someone pls help me on this.
waiting for someone to reply.

You can set up each radio in the access point for different functionality. Considering the scenario, this can be done by setting up the SSID for the G radio and another SSID for the A radio. Then, set the role in the radio network parameter for the G radio to access point and for the A radio to the root bridge role.
ou can prevent unauthorized users from reconfiguring your access point/bridge and viewing configuration information. Typically, you want network administrators to have access to the access point/bridge while you restrict access to users who connect through a terminal or workstation from within the local network.
To prevent unauthorized access to your access point/bridge, you should configure one of these security features:
Username and password pairs, which are locally stored on the access point/bridge. These pairs authenticate each user before that user can access the access point/bridge. You can also assign a specific privilege level (read only or read/write) to each username and password pair.

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.

2 Access Points Same Wireless Network

ok the basics: I have a cable modem hooked up to a linksys router ... the signal does not cover the whole house, so I got a linksys range expander ... set the whole thing up and everything works nice ... except that my PB keeps picking up the weak signal from the main router and doesnt connect to the range expander ... they both have the same security settings and all and they even appear as the same wireless network ... any thoughts on how to make my PB connect to the access point with the best signal?

I don't think that was the question posed. The issue is not how do I increase a particular access point's range, or can I dispense with one of them.
The issue is how to best work with TWO access points on the SAME network. I am very interested in this issue, as I have not been able to get my system to work properly. In short, there is an Airport Express (access point only) in the upstairs family room, and a Motorola (router and access point) in the basement. For those of us who own the new PB's, it is a lost cause to get reception comparable to the iBooks. Literally hundreds of posts exist in this area trying to improve it. So the ability to automatically connect to the highest reception point is a great benefit.
I have a unique IP address to each access point, and the Airport Express is tied to the Motorola router through ethernet. I have tried both devices on the same wireless channel, and each on its own (1 and 11). I have also tried using the same SSID & password for each point, and giving them unique names. In all situations, the result is the same. Once the Mac is connected to a particular access point, it will never switch over to the other one, unless connectivity is completely lost to the first one (i.e. unplug the AE).
This does not meet the 'roaming' idea. The goal is that when I am upstairs, I automaticallly connect to the AE, as it is strongest. When I move downstairs, it should connect to the Motorola, as the signal strength is SIGNIFICANTLY increased (we are running a PB, here). But this never happens. Instead, the PB will choke on internet browsing, because it is connecting to the gateway through a very weak wireless signal upstairs, when an alternate strong one is right next to it !!
Doesn't matter if I sleep in between relocating. All settings are automatic; that is, the Airport will automatically connect to the available networks. What I have to do is click the airport signal meter and choose my access point in order to change.
For those who think this is all acceptable performance, I don't have to do this with my HP work laptop. Windows does not seem to have a problem with proper, correct, and optimized roaming.

Bridge 6.3 and Bridge CC incompatibility (bug?)

I've installed Photoshop CC and Bridge CC. I already have a licensed copy of CS6.3.
I now find that, when I reboot and open Bridge 6.3, it crashes upon being closed (indicating that Bridge "unexpectedly quit," and it throws up a page of error messages). Sometimes, after I open Bridge CC, which, at least so far, is working fine, Bridge 6.3 works correctly, closing without crashing. But it continues crashing upon closing far more often than not.
Bridge 6.3 was working just fine prior to my installing Bridge CC. So I suspect there is some unfortunate interaction between the two. Whatever error messages are created during the crash have been sent to Adobe via their automatic link.
Has anyone else encountered this anomaly?
thank you,
grampus

Here is the crash as reported by the CS6 Problem Report: It clearly has to do with Switchboard.

Regarding cisco 1400 and 1500 outdoor access point doubt

Hi,
I have a requirement of installing 1400 outdoor access point in bridge mode .
client has got three remote offices which will be connected through 1400 outdoor access point.
but i came across about lightweight and autonomous version where i am quite confused.
which version is available in market especially for 1400
If i could get information about 1500 also , it would be great help .
If i want to connect all the remote offices in brigde mode . which will be convinient for me ?
If I could get any link with datasheet for both the access point seperately, it would be great.

Hi,
1500 is for MESH network.. 1400 is for bridging in autonomous mode.. most of the time we use 1400 for bridging between two diffrent sites..
1400 bridges do not work in LWAPP mode.. its always Autonomous.. where in the 1500 canot work in autonomous as well and needs a WLC..
here is the datasheets for 1400 and 1500..

WRT54Gv7 and 2 Netgear Access Points WG602

Hi,
is it possible with a WLAN Broadband Router Linksys WRT54Gv7 and with 2 Netgear Access Points WG602 configure a Multi Point Bridging?
is it right that the WRT54G version 7 can not be upgraded to a own Firmware?
does the WRT54G version 7 supporting WDS?
thank you very much.

the router can only be configured as an access point..it cannot be configured in repeater or bridge mode...
also , i don't think that it can be upgraded to a third party firmware ..

SSIDs and VLAN on access points

The commands to map an SSID to a VLAN on an IOS access point are basically like this:
[snip]
dot11 ssid MYSSID
vlan 5
interface Dot11Radio0
ssid MYSSID
interface Dot11Radio0.5
encapsulation dot1q 5
bridge-group 5
interface FastEthernet0
interface FastEthernet0.5
encapsulation dot1q 5
bridge-group 5
[snip]
My question is this: what does the command "vlan 5" actually do? Does it map MYSSID to bridge-group 5, which is then mapped to 802.1q tag 5 by the subinterface configurations (so that the tag number is arbitrary), or does it map MYSSID to 802.1q tag 5 on the radio interface, which is then bridged to the appropriate dot1q subinterface on the wired side by the bridge group (so that the bridge group number is arbitrary)?

Vlan tag is tied to SSID and Bridge group is also tagged to appropriate vlan mentioned as bridge group number

Placement and Location of Access Points

We are just starting a new build on our school, included on this is the installation of wireless over the top of our existing network.
I have read that cisco and other vendors supply free software to automate the placements of wireless access points, but I can't find it anywhere?
Any ideas or advice?
Thanks

WLSE can help you to adjust the radio coverage. However, WLSE is not free.
We usually recommend you to hire a third party vendor to do a site survey. The vendor will take various antennas with them. They put different antennas in different positions; so that it gives you the best coverage. Finally, the vendor will give you a blue print and tell you the placement of APs/antennas.

E90 / E51 (and other?) --Access point groups-- ar...

Hi All
I‘ve seen that in the new E51 the Access point groups are gone.
In my (older) E70 the Access point groups are installed and they are GREAT.
It’s a pity, that they are gone, because you waste much money to your provider, and you lose connection-performance.
Now in the E90 and E51 (AND PERHAPS IN THE UPCOMING PHONES) the possibility of building groups is not available.
It’s a shame for a business Phone.
You don’t know, what “Access point groups” are?
Here the explanation of the E70’s manual:
Email data roaming
Access point groups.
Your device allows roaming between wireless access technologies, such as WLAN and GPRS, for e-mail. For example, you can
start an e-mail session at home and continue the session on your way to work. While your session continues uninterrupted,
your handheld device switches from WLAN to GPRS and back to WLAN when you arrive at your workplace.
In result: You have a quick and free connection at home (Wifi), you go outside, the phone switches automatically to e.g GPRS, you come in the office, the phone switches automatically to your company’s WIFI.. etc.
You pay only the short time outside, and you don’t have to worry about changing connections.
Let us motivate NOKIA to reintegrate this feature, so they become more professional and businesslike
Thanks mayba

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.

Connecting Access point through wireless

Hi there can anybody guide me whether i can connect one cisco access point though wired connection. and rest of the access points will be aquiring the ip address from the wired connected access point without using any wired connectivity? Is it possible if yes how can i implement that and how feasible it is?
Please i am in urgent need. Thanks in advance

An Access Point is designed to only pass traffic for WIRELESS clients ONLY. It will not pass traffic for wired clients that are communicating to a bridge, (unless it is a Working Group bridge.)
The following URL will help you:

How do I use Airport Extreme to create wired access point on wireless network?

Bit of an odd situation. I just went from cable to DSL at home and the modem moved from right by my computer to upstairs.
Trouble is, there's no real easy way to get a cable from the modem upstairs to my X-box (sans wireless connector) downstairs.
I could buy the wireless adaptor for the X-Box, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend any more money.
I have my airport extreme, and I was hoping I could use it to create a wired access point on the network, recieving the signal from the wireless modem upstairs and allowing me to plug in the X-Box.
Is this possible? If so, how? I've been through the config panel about a dozen times, but can't figure out what combination to set up.
Thanks.

Will it work if I use the express to create the network?
Yes, providing that you have an 802.11n version of the AirPort Express and the Express has been configured to "Allow this network to be extended".
Then, the AirPort Extreme can be configured to "extend" the Express network. When you do this, the AirPort Extreme will provide more wireless coverage and the LAN Ethernet ports are enabled, so you can connect an Ethernet device.
This will not be a "normal" Ethernet connection. It will only work as well as the wireless "hop" between the Express and Extreme allow.
For best results and performance, a wired connection through the hole in the wall is always best. If you decide to do this, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port on the device. But, you could try wireless first to see if it will meet your goals before you reach for the tools.

RV325 Router: Adding a wireless access point for wireless printer

Hi all,
I am trying to add a Linksys ea6350 wireless router to the RV 325 router with the goal of having a wireless printer on the network. I can connect wirelessly to the router and access the internet; PC's that are on the wireless router can find the printer and print. However, PCs that connected to the RV via LAN cannot. I am assuming that this has to do with how the traffic from the wireless router is handled and that basically at the moment both routers are functioning as two separate networks.
Is this something that can be remedied from the Cisco router side? Or the Linksys? Or Both?
Thank you

Hi Jow, it sounds like you have this EA router connecting through the WAN port going in to your RV router, that would make the most sense because it would NAT your connection, allowing you to wirelessly connect but your LAN connection to the RV325 not working.
If you want to fix this, move your connect from the EA router on to a "LAN port", disable the DHCP server then make sure it is on the same IP subnet as the RV325 and just let it broadcast the wireless signal. The EA router LAN ports are normal switch port so it will work ok.

Bridge CS6 Trial and Bridge CS5

Hello
I have just installed Photoshop CS6 trial with Bridge CS6 and notice that as in Bridge CS5, in Bridge CS6, the previews of thumbnails do NOT show sharpening and NR applied in ACR7, even after purging the cache and setting monitor size preview. Is there any reason why? It means that if I run a slideshow, some of the editing in ACR does not appear in the views.
Surely the monitor size preview jpegs should reflect all work changes made in ACR.
