Bridging with 1131 Ag series access point.

Hi,
I want to use 1131 AG series access point for bridging between two buildings which are 20 metres apart from each other.
Is it possible and what are the limitation for this design?
Please help.
thanks in advance.
Pulkit Sharma

Hi Pulkit,
The autonomous 1130AG series access point supports these operating wireless modes:
? Root access point?Connected to a wired LAN and supports wireless clients.
? Repeater access point?Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point, and supports wireless clients
? Workgroup bridge?Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point or bridge, and supports wired network devices.
As this unit was not designed to be use outdoors, having a clean RF line of sight is really difficult. To be honest I do not think this unit was designed to connect two remote buildings even if the units are indoors. I would look for APs with detachable antennas like the 1242AG or the 1200 modular series so you can use external antennas and bridging roles.
Hope it helps,
Roger Carpio.

1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector - Using power over ethernet

Can I use power over ethernet to supply the Injector with power?

Hi Mikael,
Sorry, this will not work. Have a look at these specs;
1300 Series Power
Power
The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the access point/bridge.
The power injector is available in two models:
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2 standard version (included with the access point/bridge)
48-VDC input power
Uses the 48-VDC power module (included with the access point/bridge)
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T optional transportation version
12- to 40-VDC input power
Note The power injector and the power module must not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. The power module must not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.

Dual coaxial cable to run from the power injector to the 1300. See attached notes:
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector
The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Power Injector,converts the standard 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface that is suitable for weather protected areas to a dual F-Type connector interface for coax cables that are more suitable for harsh outdoor environments. The Power Injector also provides power to the outdoor unit over the same cables with a power discover feature and surge protection. To support longer cable runs from your wireless network switch or router, the Power Injector LR is designed to accommodate up to a 100 meter coaxial cable run plus 100 meters of indoor cat5 cable?enabling total cable runs up to 200 meters. The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge ships with the Power Injector LR2 and an AC power supply.

Need to disable AP mode multicast in 1231 series access point

Hi
I have one controller 2504 and some 1200 series access points.I am using 3 SSID .I want to use two ssid in HREAP mode but HREAP mode is not showinh in access point because multicast is enabled on AP mode.Please see the below picture
I have disabled the multicast globally from CLI.
config network multicast global disabled
Please help me in disabling the multicast so that i can set the access point in HREAP mode.
Thanks ....

Hi George
I have found a document in which it is mentioned which platform are supported..
These are the restrictions to remember while you use H-REAP.
Hybrid REAP is supported only on the 1130AG, 1140, 1240, 1250, 1260, AP801, AP 802, 1040, and AP3550 APs and on the Cisco WiSM, Cisco 5500, 4400, 2100, 2500, Flex 7500 Series Controllers, the Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN Controller Switch, and the Controller Network Module for Integrated Services Routers.
But why it is giving an remark on controller tab that multicast is not supported with HREAP on this platform ?
Is this the limitation of cisco 2504 controller or the limitation of 1231 access point ?
Does that mean i can use my SSID in HREAP mode if i am using 1231 series access point ?
Thanks...

1600 series Access Point

i want to know 1600 series Access Point support the below or not :-
1)Support up 64 Users
2)VPN pass-through support
3)Wireless Distribution System
4)Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 64-bit, 128-bit encryption

Hi Peter,
will you use this AP as standalone or with Controller ?
1. Normally, the AP is a shared medium and acts as a wireless hub, the performance of each user decreases as the number of users increases on an individual AP. Ideally,as rule of thumb not more than 25 clients should associate with the AP because the throughput of the AP is reduced with each client that associates to the AP.
2. VPN connection will work with this AP.
3. WDS supported.
4. yes, It supports.

Typical propagation distance of outdoor(1552E series) access point

Hello All,
I need to propose an design for outdoor WAP deployment for an huge resort. As it is a complete open space area without any obstruction, I believe the signal can be propagated easily in over 35 meters radius across the access point. However I don't get any documentation to know exact propagation distance.
Could someone please share their experiences as to what is the ideal distance of signal coverage that could be covered by a typical Cisco outdoor access point? I do not want to go for over quoting as that might result from the client opting for other vendor's product. I would thus want to go with most appropriate plan.
Also apart from 11ac capability and multiple spatial streams, does 1570 AP have any other major improvement as well our its predecessor 1552E series AP.
Please share your expereinces.
Best Regards,
Muhammed Adnan

Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
There are many factors that affect your Wireless Networking Performance that are dependent on various areas within the network itself from the technology of the devices used, the local environment the signals will travel through, the fundamental physics behind wireless transmission and more. Some of these cannot be avoided and measures must be taken to try to minimise the negative affect that these factors will have on the network performance but others can be resolved completely either though equipment upgrading or good network planning.
There are some well known factors that affect Wireless Networking performance that most people will identify easily but that does not lessen their importance when considering network planning, these are:
Obvious Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
    Physical Obstructions
    Network Range & Distance between Devices
    Wireless Network Interference
    Signal Sharing
Quite Well Known Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance

Having Issues with E1000 as an Access Point setup - Please Help

Quick background - Using an E2000 as my main router for a DSL connection (using an ISP provided Zyxel 660HW modem with wireless disabled if that matters). I have an E1000 that I want to setup as a LAN to LAN connection to the E2000 at the far end of the house and two floors down to extend my network.
I am pretty network saavy and thought this would be a snap. But I am running into trouble and hoping someone can assist.
Here are the steps I took:
1. I ran a CAT 5 connection down to the basement where the E1000 is to be setup.
2. I hard reset the E1000 to factory defaults
3. I connected my notebook to the E1000 via a LAN port. At this stage the E1000 is NOT on the network
4. I configured the E1000 with an IP of 192.168.1.2 - my main router (E2000) is set to 192.168.1.1 and the IP ranges start at .100 so this should present no conflicts
5. I disabled DHCP
6. I disabled NAT
7. I saved settings and rebooted router
8. I removed connection to notebook and plugged in the CAT 5 run from the E2000 - LAN port 1 on both (no WAN/Internet port used)
At this stage I expected the E1000 to act as an Access Point but it is not functioning properly. The first thing I notice is that the E1000 that should now be the AP is broadcasting the router name (something like Cisco 54653) even though this is not a broadcast SSID but only the router name. That is odd, I believe.
I have tried rebooting both the E2000 and E1000 along with the modem, no luck. I have tried different IPs for the E1000 just in case but again no luck, the wireless is not extended.
Any advice or guidance? Am I doing something wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like you have configured the E1000 properly, but you didn't describe how you have configured the Zyxel and E2000.
Do you have A or B ?
A. Zyxel set to full bridge mode. Then connect Zyxel to E2000's internet port and configure E2000 for PPPoE internet connection type (and DHCP server enabled and NAT enabled). Change MTU to manual on E2000 and enter 1492. And then connect your E1000 as you described. Internet connection type on E1000 is AutoconfigDHCP.
B. Zyxel is configured as modem/router (DHCP server enabled and NAT enabled). Then connect Zyxel to E2000's internet port. E2000 is configured as router (DHCP server is enabled and NAT is enabled) and local IP address is 192.168.2.1. Internet connection type on E2000 would be AutoconfigDHCP. E1000 is configured as you described except local ip address is 192.168.2.2. Internet connection type on E1000 is AutoconfigDHCP.

Setting time on 1130AG series Access Point

I noticed on one of my clients AP's which is an 1130AG series that it had a setting for SNTP. I was a little surprised that it did not have the capability to use regular NTP.
The SNTP servers configured for the AP were two Cisco routers.
Is this a common configuration? Is there a way to upgrade so that the AP's can use NTP?
The current code on the AP is 12.3(8)JA.
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
The commands for this changed from NTP to SNTP somewhere in the 12.2.x releases, so "older" AP IOS's did support NTP. Here is some info for 12.3.(4)JA;
Managing the System Time and Date
You can manage the system time and date on the wireless device automatically, using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), or manually, by setting the time and date on the wireless device.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a simplified, client-only version of NTP. SNTP can only receive the time from NTP servers; it cannot be used to provide time services to other systems. SNTP typically provides time within 100 milliseconds of the accurate time, but it does not provide the complex filtering and statistical mechanisms of NTP.
You can configure SNTP to request and accept packets from configured servers or to accept NTP broadcast packets from any source. When multiple sources are sending NTP packets, the server with the best stratum is selected.
If multiple servers are at the same stratum, a configured server is preferred over a broadcast server. If multiple servers pass both tests, the first one to send a time packet is selected. SNTP will only choose a new server if it stops receiving packets from the currently selected server, or if a better server (according to the above criteria) is discovered.
Configuring SNTP
SNTP is disabled by default. To enable SNTP on the access point, use one or both of these commands in global configuration mode:
sntp server {address | hostname}
[version number]
Configures SNTP to request NTP packets from an NTP server.
sntp broadcast client
Configures SNTP to accept NTP packets from any NTP broadcast server
Enter the sntp server command once for each NTP server. The NTP servers must be configured to respond to the SNTP messages from the access point.
If you enter both the sntp server command and the sntp broadcast client command, the access point will accept time from a broadcast server but prefers time from a configured server, assuming the strata are equal. To display information about SNTP, use the show sntp EXEC command.
Hope this helps!

Problems with AirPort and WPA access point

Okay, I have done quite a bit of research and I still cannot resolve my problem because of this, I am turning to this user community.
Here is what I know as of right now:
I am running Windows OS X 10.4.4 with AirPort Update 2005-001. My Access Point is a 3COM 8250.
The AP is setup not to broadcast its SSID, to use WPA-TKIP (or in Apple terminology, WPA Personal) and the password is set to use alphanumeric.
When I try to connect my PowerBook with the SSID name, WPA Personal and the correct password, I get the following error:
The password you entered is not correct for the Airport network *******.
To troubleshoot here are the test I have run and their outcomes:
Test
- Result
Set the AP to completely open
- Connected
Set the AP to open, didn't broadcast the SSID
- Connected
Set the AP to WEP, broadcast the SSID
- Connected
Set the AP to WEP, didn't broadcast the SSID
- Connected
Set the AP to WPA & WEP, broadcast the SSID
- WEP : Connected
- WPA : Not Connected
Set the AP to WPA & WEP, didn't broadcast SSID
- WEP:Connected
- WPA:Not Connected
Set the AP to WPA only
- Not Connected.
Now, I should mention that when I was running 10.3.3 I could not connect either. The AP is running the newest firmware and I have three Windows XP SP2 laptops / workstations that can connect with no problems.
I have tried to find a compatibility matrix on both 3COM's and Apple's websites to see if it might be a compatibility issue but I have not been able to find one on either site.
Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Hello MisssAsh. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It's always a good idea to do a complete power recycle when changing network configurations.
Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AirPort Express Base Station (AX), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Wireless Roaming with more than one access point

Dear All,
I am trying to set up roaming access points around my home. My main router is the Hub 3 and what I am doing is setting the SSID and channel i want on the hub 3 then setting the same SSID on the additional access point (WNR1000v3) and disabling DHCP on the additional access point and setting a static IP and a different channel to the one on the hub 3.
The problem I am getting is that my devices (android smartphone and tablet) will either only connect to one of the access points when I am near it and then when I go to the area that the hub 3 is in it drops the connection.
I want to know why this is happening because at another house where I work I have additional access points broadcasting the same SSID as the home hub 2! which works.
Please could someone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to prevent it.
Many Thanks,
Dominic

Thanks for the reply Keith,
But why does it not allow for Roaming?
There is an internal Ethernet switch which routes the Ethernet frames to a specific device MAC address, via the wireless module, or the LAN ports, but not both.
Once a device MAC address appears on the LAN side, all frames are routed to that interface, until the physical interface is disconnected.
That prevents the same MAC address connecting to the wireless interface.
Universal wireless repeaters do not have that problem, as all connections take place on the wireless interface.

Blackberry Z10 connection with an Aironet Cisco Access Point 1200

Hi everybody,
I'm trying without success a connection between a Blackberry Z10 and an Aironet Cisco Access Point 1200.
We have no BB Server, we would like just to connect the WIFI.
I've checked this points during the activation of the device:
There's no LEAP protocolle.
There's an EAP-Fast possibility.
There's Mac Address recognition possibility.
When we try to use the EAP-Fast possibility, we generate a .pac file, but i don't know where i can put this file so that the Blackberry recognize this file. I've search the whole day and didn't find anything... there's simply no explanation with the Z10 around the .pac file without a BB Server.
I've try the Mac Address recognition and it simply doesn't work (no error the search time is too long)
Every other older smartphones - Blackberry (there's 4 devices) are working.
Anyone have an idea about? a suggestion? a list of compatible WIFI Devices?
Thank you ahead.
Have a nice day.
Joel.

Sorry i don't understand your answer.
I'm not a developper but a system administrator.
I just would like to use a Balckberry Z10 with our Wifi/Router Aironet Access Point 1200.

but i am not able to access it, through web browser
i dont know how i connect wires so that i am able to access " AP access page" and also i forgot its IP address too so can u pls tell me how do i reset it to default

Your AP is most likely loaded with a controller-based IOS. You can easily convert this to autonomous IOS.

3600 Series Access Point Problem

Have a AIR-CT5508-K9 Controller running 7.0.116.0 software.
Just purchased 3 AIR-CAP3602I-A-K9 access points.
When these try to join the controller we receive the following error message.
%CAPWAP-3-UNSUPPORTED_WLC_VERSION: Unsupported version 7.0.116.0 on WLC Plt-72-Controller-1
Do the 3600's require a certain revision of code?
Also I read were the 3600's require a GE connection. Will they work on a FE connection?
Please advise.....................

Yes, you need to be funning 7.2 code for the 3600 to join and work.
Make sure you check the release notes for hte supported AP, incase you are running any that are not supported in 7.2
