Cisco 1142n Access Point

Hi,
I was planning on deploying a couple of 1131AG access points in a standard multiple SSID, multiple VLAN configuration, however, I'm now looking at deploying a single 1142n access point instead.
In our environment we will have 11g, 11a/g and 11n clients. My questions is, in a mixed environmentlike this will the 11n clients be able to take full advantage of the speeds offered by 11n or will they be limited because the AP will have to run in mixed mode?
Thanks
Alyas

Hi Alyas,
What speed is your uplink?  10/100 or 1Gb?  The 1140 has one (1) 1Gb ethernet link.  To enable 802.11n, you need to configure WPA2/AES and channel bonding.
Other things to look at are the following:
1.  Client saturation per AP - How many clients are concurrently associated to ONE AP?  The higher the number the lower the wireless speed.  Cisco recommends no more than 25 clients per AP is ideal.
2.  Client WLAN NIC and drivers - Are the drivers up-to-date?  Do they support 802.11n?
3.  The distance of the client from the AP - The further the client(s) are from the AP the lower the speed.  The signal strength should be no more than -65 dBm (lower the better) and the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) should be 25 dBm (higher the better). 
4.  What type of traffic?  Unicast, multicast or broadcast?
5.  Obstacles between the AP(s) and clients - Are there any concrete/cinder block/brick walls?  Elevator shafts?  Fire escape?  Wooden or gyprocks are OK.
6.  Radio interference - Other APs transmitting in the same channel as you.
I'd recommend a wireles site survey but with one or two APs it's not worth it.
Hope this helps.

  • 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.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp161272

  • 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
    Thanks,

    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.

  • 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 !
    Anup

    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

  • 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

  • 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,

  • Configuring Cisco Air 1142N Access point.

    Hi Guys
    I have been struggling to configure a cisco airnet AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 access point.
    this is not my first time as I have configured similar accesspoints before.
    the access point gets an IP from the dhcp server. I can ping the access point over the network.
    However, when I type in the ip in the web browser, nothing comes up. there is no proxy issue.
    the console(hyperterminal, connected through serial cable) shows the following error message:

    Hi,
    2106/12/25 will support 7.0.xx code. It will also support all existing APs including 3500,1140,1040.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn7_0_116_0.html
    I don't think it is EOS atleast does not say on the website :
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7206/prod_eol_notices_list.html
    Deciding on whether you need a WLC or not is upto your budget and what features you need on your Wireless Infrastructure.. If you have $$ to spend I would recommend going in for 2504. If not you can configure them in standalone and you can always buy a WLC based system in future given you only have 3 APs.
    If you need IOS code, you can either approach
    1) Your reseller or
    2) Cisco SE
    3) Call TAC support and ask CIN agent to grant access to CCO code based on what you purchased. Also explain your situation.

  • 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!!!

    This is unbelievable, i just bought a $1000 phone and it wont sync with a Cisco AP. I can sync it with a DLINK? I there a specific list of Access Points it will connect to. If so thats complete bullsh*(. Also, is there going to be a firmware update soon to fix these problems. Can you tell that im a little upset. I just saying that if someone spends $1000 dollars on a phone it should be working pretty dam good. Anyway can someone offer any suggestions?

  • Cisco wIPS access point query

    Dear All,
    I am planning to install Cisco wIPS in our network, kindly advise if I need to install access point with wireless security module to make my wIPS work or one normal cisco 3602 will be enough. I have gone through the below documents, but one says about wireless module where the other one not says about the module. Kindly suggest.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/adaptive-wireless-ips-software/data_sheet_c78-501388.html - Says about module
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/adaptive-wireless-ips-software/qa_67-503875.html - Not says about module.
    Kindly advise that whether the security module is mandatory to go with Cisco wIPS.
    Regards,
    Jubair.S

    If you want to operate AP normally where client can connect & do wIPS then you require the module.
    Otherwise you can configure AP into monitor mode where it will not associate any clients, but do the wIPS function.
    If you require limited wIPS (Enhanced Local mode) then you can have same AP to do everything. 
    Below summarize the options available & read the given link for more details
