Cisco 1152E as a Bridge

Hi all,
Can we use Cisco aironet 1152E Mesh AP as a Point - to - Point bridge connecting 2 sites 1 Km apart.
Pls suggest the considerations before deplying.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Nasir Manzoor

Hi Nasir,
I think you can use the mesh AP as a PTP link. But you have to enable ethernet bridging to achieve this.
check this: http://tiny.cc/325yiw
If this works for the 1Km distance, that all depends on your antenna.
Check mesh deployment guide about how to implement Point-to-Point links (enable ethernet bridging and that is it)

  • Cisco 1532E autonomous mode (Bridging + Client access)

    Hello all.
    I need to connect two locations that are separated by 300 meters and I also need to provide wireless client access.
    My ideia is to use two Cisco 1532 (in standalone mode) with 5Ghz directional antennas for bridging and omnidirectional 2,4Ghz antennas for wireless clients at both locations.
    My problem is that the deployment guide does not make reference to this implementation (autonomous+bridging+wireless clients); the deployment guide can be found in the following link http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-6/b_1532_dg/b_1532_dg_chapter_01.html#topic_5C2E00D8A63A462AAC6F0A0DC629FBDF
    Can anyone confirm if this is a supported scenario?
    Thanks,
    João Carvalho.

    Each radio is configured separate from one another, so you would configure the 5ghz as bridge and the 2.4ghz as  station role root, which is client access.  You can reference any autonomous configuration guide for bridge (root and non-root) and client access.
    Here is one older doc you can reference:

  • Cisco Aeronet 1400 Wireless Bridge

    Shanky and other NetPros,
    Good Morning. Shanky, I read your review of the Aeronet 1300, and I was quite impressed. Have you or anyone else done a review of the Aeronet 1400 Wireless Bridge?
    I am putting myself into a position to attend the Wireless course offered by my local CNAP College. Until I can get into that class, would someone point me in the direction of some good whitepapers or extended documentation (200+ pages) to bring me up to speed with administration and support of these devices? At my organization, we had a very competent vendor do the install, and we are bringing the management company that will be managing our lease for Cisco Routers and Switches into the
    management of the 1400s. I will obviously not be alone. I would like to understand these devices at the level of those folks that I will be calling to troubleshoot. I suspect that I will be fully managing these devices when our lease expires in three years.
    Furthermore, does anyone have information on the evolution of the CNAP Wireless course? The Cisco Wireless LAN Support Specialist designation (WLANFE) appears to be discontinued. Does anyone know of the future of any of the CNAP Wireless programs or if a new program is in development? Thank you, and I hope to continue learning from your experience and knowledge.
    Regards,
    John

    Thank you, Beth. Your post was very helpful. I have printed the first two documents and added them to my documentation. Cisco has some very detailed documentation (200+ pages) for other pieces of hardware (switches and routers), and I was hoping there was similar documentation on how to implement, manage, and troubleshoot Aironet Bridges, Routers, and APs. I was looking for something to read that was newer that the Textbook used in the Cisco Networking Academy Wireless class, since the models described in the that text are several generations older. Thank you for your assistance.

  • Cisco 1310 used as Bridge: Option for integration to WLC or WCS

    What is the best management option for the Cisco 1310 being used as an Autonomous Bridge (pairs: Root and Non-Root). We want to manage and have some reporting back into the WCS.

    WCS 6.0 configuration guide says that only AP1130, 1200, 1240, 1310
    Bridge are supported.
    The autonomous to lightweight migration support feature provides a
    common application (WCS) from
    which you can perform basic monitoring of autonomous access points along
    with current lightweight
    access points. The following autonomous access points are supported:
    * Cisco Aironet 1130 Access Point
    * Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point
    * Cisco Aironet 1240 Access Point
    * Cisco Aironet 1310 Bridge

  • Cisco AP 700w as a Work Group Bridge with a WLAN Controller

    I am trying to setup an AP 700w as a Work Group Bridge as it would be interesting to have this running, because it has the built-in 4 port switch.
    I have WiSM based WLCs running the version 7.0.240.0. I converted a 700w to an autonomous AP and on the AP I installed the IOS Version 15.3(3)JA1.
    When I use an autonmous based AP to connect the 700w as a WGB everything works fine. I can connect clients through the 4 port switch.
    If I try to use a Controller based WLAN environment it does not work. The config is simple:

  • How to connect a Linksys WES610N Bridge to an Airport Express network

    I'm surprised I haven't been able to find an answer to this question anywhere online. I haven't even found anyone asking this question!???
    I'm trying to connect a Cisco Linksys WES610N Entertainment Bridge to my Airport Express wireless network. This will allow me to plug my blu-ray player into the bridge and go online for Netflix. (My TV does not have an online option, unfortunately.)
    The setup instructions indicate to press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on my router before pressing the same on the bridge. Of course, Airport Express (assuming that's my router) does not have such a button. I tried turning off security to my network using Airport Utility and trying to connect that way, without success.
    Some help documents from Cisco suggest connecting both the bridge and my computer to a router using ethernet cables and accessing setup through a web-based interface, but again, Airport Express has only one ethernet port, so that's not an option.
    Cisco has very little Mac support :-(
    Hoping the Apple community can help me.

    Okay, so to answer my own question after considerable sleuthing . . . for anyone else trying to do this:
    Connect your computer to the bridge using an ethernet cable, then open a browser and enter the following address: http://169.254.1.250
    This will take you to a login page: leave the username field blank, enter "admin" in the password.
    You will see the Cisco setup page. I selected manual setup and entered the name of my network and password. I got a progress bar and finally the wireless network light on the bridge started flickering.

  • What are the ideal settings for my TC with Shaw's Cisco DPC3825 router/modem

    My old 2nd Gen Time Capsule crapped out and now I am about to set up my new 2TB TC.  My provider is Shaw Communications and they have upgraded me to their Broadband 100 Mbps service.  This came with a new modem/router combo made by Cisco and is model DPC3825.  Before I start plugging things in I'd like to know what are the ideal settings such that I gain the most of the BB100 service.  Should I be setting the Cisco modem/router to Bridge mode or the TC?  Should I have Shaw disable anything?  Any insight is greatly appreciated.

    Unless you specifically need to have the TC perform as the main router for your network, life will be a lot easier if you configure the TC to operate in Bridge Mode.
    Whether the Cisco modem/router or gateway can possibly be configured to act as a simple bridge mode modem is one thing to consider.
    Whether Shaw would support you in the event of any connection difficulties with the modem/router configured this way is another.
    Since Shaw is your provider, it might make sense to talk with them about best practice as far as configuring the DPC3825.
    Once you have that information in hand, you will then have the answer on how best to configure the TC.....which will very likely be in Bridge Mode.

  • Cisco Aironet 1300

    I recently deployed a cisco 1300 airnet ap/bridge to slove a conectivity problem with are companys laptop users in a remote bldg approx 410feet from the main bldg,i first used the 1300 with the intergrated 13dbi antenna,(poor /weak signial)so i then ordered the 1300 with the external ant port,and used the 5.2dbi omnidirectional mast antenna,and my signial is still very weak /poor for such as close distance from the ap?any clues would be a blessing,ive double checked my inital config settings,and they appear to be ok, im using this ap connected to a simple router (it to is a cisco product mfg by linkys #WRT600-N also a wirless unit,the only thing im wondering is ,could it have something to do with the radio still being on in the wrt600-n,causeing a conflict somehow??i pluged my ethernet into the spare port on the linkys unit to give the 1300 the internet,and within a 300 ft range the cisco 1300 unit performs well with signal readings on my laptop good to execelent?,so im sorta confident the 1300 is setup properly?anyone have any ideas,or should i give up the wireless idea to allow seemless usage of laptops to our netwrk,? and bury a 2 inch conduit with a cat 5 cable to connect the problem bldg,I look foward to any hints or possibile ideas as a way to slove my wireless connectivity issues,thank you in advance

    Not sure about what you try to achieve... are you using the 1300 to connect 2 buildings? In a point to point fashion? Or are you using it to cover laptops 410 feet away? In the last case, you face what is called the near far issue, your laptops hear the signal from the AP, but the AP doesn't hear the answer from the 2.2 dBi weak clients. It is unlikely you will be able to make it work if it is the case.
    a 13 dBi antenna will anyway give you better results than a 5.2 dBi, as more gain usually also means better receptivity, but that probably won't solve the near far issue.

  • N bridge between two 1252an in bridge mode at 5GHz

    I've read in some of the cisco documentation on the 1250 series that root bridge or non root bridge modes are "not tested". They don't say "not supported". I have a client that could use a high bandwidth link between two buildings that are 100' or so apart. The fiber link has already been busted twice. Heavy heavy trucks kill the ground concrete. I have configed a 54Mbps solution with two 1242G's and some cisco yagi's. But, if an N bridge is possible with two 1252AG's, and go faster than the 54Mbps..I'd go with that setup.
    Cisco documentation says the bridge modes show up in the 1252 webgui and are selectable. They just end it with "not tested".
    Any thoughts?

    It became supported in recent versions of the 1250 IOS.
    |With this feature, the Cisco Aironet 1140 and 1250 Series can be configured for both access point and bridge functions. Bridging support on 802.11n access points offers added performance, reliability and throughput for basic wireless LAN coverage, wireless LAN coverage with wireless backhaul, and more traditional bridging applications.|

  • Linksys WUMC710 bridge crashes Airport Extreme (802.11ac) network

    I have just bought the Linksys/Cisco WUMC710 802.11ac bridge to use with my Apple Airport Extreme (the 802.11ac). After resolving some channel related issues getting the Linksys to see the network, I now find that after about 30 seconds of having the Linksys on the wireless network, it causes the Airport to go into an error mode (orange flashing light) and the whole wireless and wired network (running through the Airport) fluctuates or disappears entirely. Powering down the Linksys restores everything back to normal.
    I am on latest Airport firmware, and v1.0.1 for the Linksys. The Linksys is about 5m away from the Airport at the moment. Security is WPA2 personal.
    Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

    Hello
    I tried to set the WUMC710 (Firmware 1.00.18) and Airport time Capsule 2TB (Firmware 7.7.3) and I could not in any of the ways ...
    Any solution??
    The Time Capsule Airport every time you connect the Linksys restarts ... because?
    Thanks

    We are 13 stories up ..and the building across the street is 11 stories up...
    We have purches the 9.5 dbi sector antenna. Can I keep the Bridge itself
    on the inside and just mounth the antenna
    on the outside? While reading the doc, it appeared that the Bridge itself had an antenna

    Hi Richard,
    The 1400 can be ordered in two models as shown below (with either one the Bridge itself will be mounted outdoors);

  • Image Recovery for Cisco Aironet 1300 Outdoor Access Point

    We purchased two 1300 APs for outside. There is a new release for the image that we wanted to use so, we have the latest security updates. We downloaded, logged onto the access point just fine, but the image never took. After four hours with a direct connection, it was still going and this morning we came in and it just keep rebooting. Our network guy states it looks like a corrupt image. We can barely do anything and since there is no "mode" button like the earlier models, I have not found anything on web sites or forums to help us reload a good image to the access point. I would appreciate any insight someone has and/or where to look for this. I logged on and downloaded about every manual on the 1300 I could find, but have not found a good way to fix this. Not even the upgrade tool will connect since it just keeps rebooting.

    Hi Bruce,
    Because (as you correctly noted) the 1300 does not have a mode button you could try this method;
    Complete the steps in this section in order to reset Cisco IOS Software-based bridges:
    If the privileged command prompt ap# is available in the CLI, the write erase command and the reload command erase the startup configuration and reset the unit.
    If the GUI is available, choose System Software > System Configuration. Press the Reset to Defaults button.
    Aironet 1300 Series Bridges do not have a MODE button to reset the AP to factory defaults. So, if neither the GUI or CLI is available with sufficient privileges, complete these steps to delete the current configuration and return the entire bridge settings to the factory defaults using the CLI.
    Open the CLI with a Telnet session or a connection to the bridge console port.
    Reboot the bridge by removing and reapplying power.
    Allow the bridge to boot until the command prompt appears and the bridge begins to inflate the image.
    Press ESC when you see lines that are similar to these on the CLI:
    Loading "flash:/c1310-k9kw-7mx.v122_15_ja.200040314-k9w7-mx.v122_15_ja.20040314"
    ...#############################################################################Note: In order to access the boot loader, you must press ESC twice. But this action depends on the terminal-emulation software that you use.
    Messages that are similar to these appear:
    Error loading "flash:/c1310-k9kw-7mx.v122_15_ja.200040314-k9w7-mx.v122_15_
    ja.20040314"
    Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.
    Boot process terminated.
    The system is unable to boot automatically. The BOOT environment variable needs to
    be set to a bootable image.

    File "flash:/env_vars" deletedIssue the boot command in order to reboot the bridge at the bridge: prompt, or simply power cycle the bridge.
    After the bridge reboots, reconfigure the bridge with the web browser interface, the Telnet interface, or Cisco IOS Software commands.
    Note: The bridge is configured with the factory default values that include:
    The IP address, which is set to receive an IP address with DHCP. If you do not have a DHCP server, you can access the bridge using the default IP address of 10.0.0.1 using HTTP/HTTPS or Telnet. Once you gain access to the bridge via Telnet or GUI, you can modify the IP address of the bridge.
    Note: This default IP address of 10.0.0.1 becomes available only for a short period. So, make sure that you assign your own IP address to the bridge within that period of time.
    The default username and password, "Cisco".
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_password_recovery09186a00800949d0.shtml#ca_1310_ser
    One other thing, be careful with the new IOS that you aren't loading a LWAPP Recovery Image. (it almost sounds like what may have happened)
    Hope this helps!

  • Aironet 1300 wireless Bridges connection loss, help!

    Hi,
    We have 2 Cisco Aironet 1300 wireless bridges with yaggi antennas.
    The connection drops sometimes (every 2 or 3 days) and never comes up again.
    When we reboot the non-root bridge the connection works again. We swapped the complete unit but still the same.
    For logs see attached file.
    What can be the problem? The antennas are not aligned correctly?
    Thx in advance
    greetings,
    Marc

    How long is the path and what were the results of the survey?
    Were the connectors waterproofed?
    Please describe the sytem from the bridge to the antenna including cable type, length, path, outdoors, indoors etc.

  • AP vs Wireless Bridge in AP mode

    What is the difference between AP and Wireless Bridge in AP mode? Or, when to use AP like device and when Wireless Bridge in AP mode?
    Thanks for cooperation.
    Jovan M., CCNA

    BR350 as access points can be used to cover outdoor areas, since they have metal case for durability and plenum rating and an extended operating temperature rating for harsh environments
    Other than that BR350 in AP mode is jus similar to AP350(not the pastic ones, the metal plenum rated) if you use for indoor coverage.
    From Cisco documentations.
    The bridge as a rugged access point connected to the wired LAN. When you select Access Point, the bridge's Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) function is disabled. Figure 3-4 shows a bridge set up as a rugged access point.
