Cisco 1142 AP as a repeater

Hi,
I am a bit confused with the GUI configuration of an AP and repeater my concerns are:
I have 3 AP 1142 series i want two APs to be connected to the main AP(ethernet) while the others act as repeaters.
How do i go about creating an AP as a repeater to assoicate with the AP connected to a switch
Thanks

Hello Samson,
As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-
Configuring a Repeater Using the CLI
If you want to configure your AP as a repeater and use the command-line interface, the following is an example configuration setting. This example configures the AP with two parents:
ap1130# configure terminal
ap1130(config)# interface dot11radio 0
ap1130(config-if)# ssid qbranch
ap1130(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid
ap1130(config-ssid)# exit
ap1130(config-if)# station-role repeater
ap1130(config-if)# dot11 extensions aironet
ap1130(config-if)# parent 1 0012.7fc2.1bdc 1000
ap1130(config-if)# parent 2 0012.44b4.b250 1000
ap1130(config-if)# end
ao1130# copy running-config startup-config
Hope this will help you.

Cisco 1142 WAP Connection Help

We have a Cisco 1142 WAP connected to a Cisco Wireless Controller in a remote office area. For meetings we wanted to have more hard wired connections in addition to Wifi access for attendee's / presentors etc..My question is if we purchased a Cisco 8 port POE mini switch and put that in the middle between the WAP and Controller would that work? Or is there another business grade solution for a mix of Ethernet ports and Wifi?

Yes, sir. This will work. The only "problem" I see is your 8 port PoE switch. Let me explain:
The good part about Cisco's 8-port PoE switches, the WS-C3560-8PC, is that it is FANLESS. So even if you stick the switch right inside this conference or meeting room, no one will notice it's there (unless of course, one steps on the hot surface or gives the appliance a good kick).
This model has a 1Gig SFP or RJ45 port uplink.
Now the downside is not really that significant, unless you want to be pedantic about it. The access ports are all 10/100BaseTX only.
By the way, I have no way of testing the "compact" series of the 2960C and the 3560C. The Data Sheet itself is a bit "grey" so I won't make a comment about these two models.

Cisco 1142 Wireless access point intermittently will not authenticate

Hi all,
We have a Cisco 1142 standalone access point, and from time to time I will come into the office and it will not authenticate any users to either our guest or corporate networks. I then have to go in and reboot the access point. After that, it begins to work. Any advice? Here's my configuration below:

When the issue occurs does that affect both 2.4GHz & 5GHz devices ? I would see which band operating devices affected.
I noticed you have set CH11 under Radio 0 statically. I would prefer to configure it as below so AP can change the channel depend on the environment.

Wireless non-cisco router with aironet 1242 repeater.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here. I just started learning about cisco devices. Sorry if my question seems stupid.
I have a problem. A friend gave me an AP aironet 1242 and he wants to use it as a repeater for his wireless non cisco router.
Is this possible? And if it is how can i do it with simple steps.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response Scott. I 've read this quide before i post.
The problem is that i can't connect with serial to the ap. So i can't use commands.
I can connect with ethernet and see the ap interface. When i go and make the radio0 work as a repeater it shows interface down. What i want is simple steps of how to configure it from the interface.
Sorry again.

I believe the RF is good we have 8 access points through out the building and normally dont have any issues with connectivity. We have not done a site survey yet so that is probaby something we should look into next. Below is the current configuration. To reinterate the AP functions good for awhile and then resets. Upon a reload it works again fine for awhile and resets. I have 4 AP's that are doing the same thing and are placed in various points around the building.

Cisco 1142 WGB in a controller based network

Hi,
I have trouble with Cisco AP1142 which is configured in WGB mode. I'm trying to get it work in a controller based network, where LAPs are configured in H-REAP. SSID where WGB should be associated drops it traffic to VLAN60. Security type is WPA2-PSK.
I've configured the WGB and it associates and gets IP from the correct network....but the problem is that laptop connected to WGB won't work. It gets no IP address and won't work with static IP.
At the moment I have no VLANs configured on the WGB - should I have?
AP IOS version is 12.4(25d)JA and WLC version is 7.0.98.0.
Please find config file attached and also a topology image. Hope these help.
Br,
Petri

Hi Petri,
WGB mode with HREAP is not supported:
http://tools.cisco.com/squish/dcAfC
http://tools.cisco.com/squish/CcFE6
You may want to test this with uWGB mode and static IP config.However, there is a new bug filed for uWGB mode as well:
CSCtl21683 uWGB needs official testing and support with h-reap

Alex

With the above configuration the AP is working fine and it's getting DHCP ip address from the Core switch and the users are also able to access all the internal network resources and Internet too according to customer requirement.
But recently customer raised few concerns:
1. Customer is unable to login into AP by using WEBBROWSER
    (error: The Server 192.168.20.202:443 requires a username and password. The server says: Lever_15_access.)
    SSH to the AP is working fine.
2. Customer is asking to create 2 SSIDs in every access point.
      a.) COMPANY SSID (Which should have full access to the local network as well as Internet too.)
      b.) GUEST       SSID (Which should only access internet but not internal network.)
3. Only few users should be able to access GUI of AP as I've done for SSH using ACL's
Kindly help with the above concerns as I've to answer the customer tomorrow.

Hi,
Same local credentials that you use for SSH can be used for http/https.
Make sure you provide correct credentials. If still not working provide a screenshot of the error and try to enable http server for testing purposes only and try if it works with http.
For multiple SSIDs with multiple VLANs try this config example:

WCS v7.0.164.0 + Cisco 1142 LWAP AP's

I have deployed a number of AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 access points at a site, but I have an issue where all access point have defaulted to Channel 1. I have set the perameters on the Lightweight AP Template correctly to allow dinamic power and channel selection. The positioning of the AP's are as per the WCS planning tool. Any help would be welcome.....

It's also possible DCA is disabled on the WLC, check it under:
802.11a > RRM > Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA)
Also check your power:
802.11a > RRM > Tx Power Control(TPC)

Cisco 521 AP as Repeater??

Can I use Cisco 521 AP as a repeater to another Cisco 521 AP that is working as a root?

Hello Samson,
As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-
Configuring a Repeater Using the CLI
If you want to configure your AP as a repeater and use the command-line interface, the following is an example configuration setting. This example configures the AP with two parents:
ap1130# configure terminal
ap1130(config)# interface dot11radio 0
ap1130(config-if)# ssid qbranch
ap1130(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid
ap1130(config-ssid)# exit
ap1130(config-if)# station-role repeater
ap1130(config-if)# dot11 extensions aironet
ap1130(config-if)# parent 1 0012.7fc2.1bdc 1000
ap1130(config-if)# parent 2 0012.44b4.b250 1000
ap1130(config-if)# end
ao1130# copy running-config startup-config
Hope this will help you.

Cisco 2504 Domain Authentication for WIFI Clients

I got a question.
I have a 2504 controller, and a bunch of 3600 APs. (which now works, thanks to Scott Fella)
I want the WIFI users to be able to connect to the WIFI, If their computer is part of the domain. Otherwise, they connect to the guest WIFI.
How can I go about doing that? I tried searching the forums, but perhaps Im not searching for the right keywords.
I thought it was LDAP, but I could not find much info on it.
Thanks....

I wouldn't look at LDAP. I would use a radius server and machine authentication. If your a Microsoft shop, then bring up IAS for 2003 or NPS for 2008. These can work as your radius server. To figure out how to configure machine auth, just search Google for NPS wireless machine authentication.

Cisco 1142AP Autonomous - Radio interface constantly reset and provides crash file

Hello All,
We have 10 Cisco 1142 Access Points currently configured as Autonomous and I'm experiecing very unusual behavior with the 2.4GHz radio interfaces on each of them. The IOS firmware is 15.2.2JB and they're connected to Cisco 2960 PoE switches. I'm not sure what could be causing this problem however it is service impacting and looks bad on me since I don't have a solution for it. One potential fix could be to upgrade the firmware to 15.2.4 but I'm sure if it is a firmware problem. Any advice would help. Here's an excerpt from the AP log:

You should be able to go in and view teh R0_0.log file.
there might be something in there that you can do a bug search for.

How to configure two Cisco WLC-5508-50

Hi everyone, last year we buy 1 wlc-5508-50 to use with cisco 1142 AP. This year we plan to add more APs and we just buy another WLC-5508-50 because it was cheaper than to buy 50 licences. We would like to know what is the best way to configure our second WLC so that we can distribute our 75 APs on each controller. Maybe someone can help us. Thanks!

Hi Bernard,
If you have WCS, you can use templates to synchronize your configurations on the WLCs.
Another possibility is you can upload your current configuration from your production WLC, and then open up the configuration file and edit the IP addresses to give new addresses to the new WLC. You will also want to change the system name to be unique as well. You can then download this config onto the new WLC, as long as the IP addresses and system name are different it should not interfere with your current WLC.
To have the WLCs operate together properly, you will want to make sure they are defined in a mobility group, see the following for instructions:

Cisco Aironet 3502i and Virtual Wireless Controller- Question

Hello everyone,
As soon, I purchased two Cisco 3502i and Cisco 1142 however, two issue are that I don't have controller and smartnet. As my purpose, it using for Home Use but house with 2,500 Sq ft with two floor and new 24x24ft garage with two floor. I put two Cisco 3502i for garage and one cisco 1142 in house on second floor. Separated for multi media, gaming, streaming high resolution video, parts, and downloads programmings online. It will run with Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports (4 POE) and two gigabit ports. In house, it have Dell Poweredge 2850, Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports POE and 2 ports gigabit.
I thought to make my own developing with my first time using Wireless Controller. I wanted to try out with Virtual WLC on Dell Poweredge 2850 running ESXi 4.1.
Specs for Dell Poweredge 2850:
- 2x Intel Xeon Dual Core 3.8 GHz
- 4GB RAM (Will upgrade to 12GB soon)
- 2x 146GB and 2x 36GB SCSI
- 2x 1 Gbps built in and 4x 1 Gbps PCI-X
Developing with Untangle and pfSense to make it support with LADP and VLAN to both Cisco Express 500 using 4 gbps PCI-X. I have read the requipment list to use Virtual WLC but it seem met the requipment for my 2850. If someone offer me to get Virtual WLC and IOS from their, I accept to "borrow" it. I do go college which is Rochester Institute of Technology at New York and my major is Applied Computer Technology. I live here at Hampton Road, Virginia. Just in case if you might know about RIT. I just start to learning myself with Cisco books.
I have a question:
- Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
- Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
- Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
- Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
Thanks
Gage

Answers in-line...
I have a question:
- Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
No. You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco. Nobody will provide this to you.
- Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
No. You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco.
Nobody will provide this to you.
- Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
Cisco doesn't go in to great detail regarding the actual Hardware requirements of the vWLC (as far as ESX Host requirements). Primarily, making sure you are running ESX 4.x/5.x is necessary. The vWLC provisions 2Gb of RAM and 8GB of thick provisioned storage, so if your host can accomodate I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.
- Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
Yes, with the latest versions of IOS 15.2(2)JB, full functionality in autonomous can be achieved on the 1550, 3500, and 3600 series APs

Cisco ACL for Wireless VLAN's

Hi all and Merry Christmas to you.
So I have been off work for a few days now playing in my lab, I have configured a number of VLAN’s to separate Data, Voice, Servers, Games Consoles and Guest on my Cisco 1142, I know it may be a bit of an over kill but it’s just me doing a bit of lab work and learning
What I’m after doing now is setting up ACL’s to deny the Guest and Games Console VLAN from accessing my LAN and I’m not sure where to start, I want to consoles only to be able to connect to PSN and Xbox networks as well as my DHCP server, and the guest network to connect to the web but again not my LAN, this is for users who come round with phones and tablets.
My lab look like this:-
Broadband > Cisco RVS4000 (soon to be ASA) > WS-C3560 > 1142 AP.
My DHCP server is on VLAN 6 with an IP address of 192.168.6.241
VLANs are: -
interface Vlan5
description *****DATA VLAN*****
ip address 192.168.5.253 255.255.255.240
ip helper-address 192.168.6.241

The AP config looks like:

At the minutes I’m just trying to stop Console getting to the Home network before I move onto the rest
I have not got a clue where to start or where to place the ACL’s, would they be on the Switch or the AP itself?
Hope you can help me out.
Happy new year
Martyn
