Cisco 1530 Wireless Bridge distance

Hi,
I would like to share the internet in the outside area placed around 450 - 500m away from the main building (there is a line of sight).
Is it possible to do this using two Cisco 1530 APs? Please see below, if that makes sense:
Gateway <--- Ethernet ---> Cisco 1530 - 2.4GHz <--------- 500m --------> 2.5GHz - Cisco 1530 - 2.4 & 5GHz WiFi client access
1. What is the maximum distance to set them up as a bridge?
2. I assume it`s quite far away, what antennas would be the best to achieve best performance?
3. If I would like to set up a guest access and/or a landing page, would I need a WLC or maybe 1530 give similar options?
4. Any other advice in terms of design or configuration would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Here is an example of the switch config I was testing:
If I use a config like Gi1/0/11 the bridge works for VLAN 500 only
If I use a config like Gi1/0/12 the bridges fail
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/11
description SWITCHPORT
power inline never
switchport access vlan 500
speed 100
duplex full
spanning-tree portfast
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/12
description TRUNKPORT
power inline never
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 500
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast
Thanks
Ian

Cisco 1400 Wireless bridge

I cannot seem to find a place/way to set the time and date with the web interface.

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.

Wireless Bridge aironet 1410

We have a site with couple of consumer level bridged AP's. We have been recommended a Cisco 1410 wireless bridge but it is very expensive. What are the added features of this bridge and is someone using it? We originally were thinking of replacing the AP's with cisco 1231 AP's and bridging them as it would be cheaper.
Is there a benefit to using a 1410?

The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge is the premier high-speed, high-performance outdoor bridging solution for line-of-sight applications, providing features such as:
a) Support for both point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations
b) Industry leading range and throughput, supporting data rates up to 54 Mbps
c) Enhanced security mechanisms based on 802.11 and 802.11i standards
d) Ruggedized enclosure optimized for harsh outdoor environments with extended operating temperature range
e) Integrated or optional external antennas for flexibility in deployment
f) Designed specifically for ease-of-installation and operation
More information on the 1400 bridge is available in the data sheet at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps5279/products_data_sheet09186a008018495c.html

Which cisco wireless bridges support point to multipoint

hi all i am really new to wireless. i am looking for information as which cisco wireless bridges support point to multipoint configuration.
i have a cisco 1230G access-point will it support the same .
any help would be great.
regards
sushil

The Cisco 1300's and 1400's support point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. The 1230G can only support point-to-point (i think)

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

Need Help With Wireless Bridging

Hello all, I have recently perchased high speed WiFi for my house so I could do some gaming on my Xbox. Problem is my roommate, who is a tech support professional, set the modem up in his bedroom, my Xbox is old and requires a wireless adapter to pick up signals but since the modem is so far away from it it barely recieves the signal. So currently I'm paying for nothing so I confronted him about this issue and he attempted to fix it by wirelessly bridging a router to the modem but after a month he hasn't succeeded and has given up so now it's up to me and I have no clue where to even begin. The modem we have is a Cisco DPC3825 and the router is a NetGear Wireless-N Router WVR2000 V2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Denver: I did not actually understand what kind of bridging you want to do?
The modem already has a wireless transmitter. I think you mean the router is picking up the wireless signal and provide the xbox with connectivity via wired cable. is that right?
If correct, It looks like the issue is with the distance/barriers between your modem and router. You need to try to eliminate some barriers in between to get better signl. Try also to put the devices as close as possible to each other.

Configuration of a Point to MultiPoint link with Cisco Aironet 1310 bridges

Hi All,
The previous problem of which I started another conversation here:
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=General&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1ddba023
somehow dissapeared. It could have been a problem of interferences.
I have another issue with other (multipoint) wireless WAN link, which I hope has a solution.
On the central node, we have an Cisco Aironet 1310 bridge configured as root-bridge. It has a panel of four vertical polarity 17 dBi panel 90? antennas, with more than enough gain (there is a 250 mWatts 802.11 b/g amplifier, before the 4-way splitter) and excellent line of sight to three remote bridges.
The three (03) remote bridges are also Aironet 1310 models, confidured as non-root-bridges.
The problem we have is that it seems that when the three remote links operate concurrently the amount of lost packets is huge. When I shutdown the radio interfaces of two bridges, the remaining bridge makes an excellent link with the central node.
It seems that some hours are more critical than others, also the links operate much worse when there is some (small) network traffic in them.
I have read the 1310 manuals, and I can't find a sample configuration for point to multi-point links.
Does someone knows what radio interface configuration should I need to use to establish better quality communication?
I mean, perhaps the 1 x root - 3 x no root configuration is not recommendable for the multipoint link configuration.
Any hints will be welcome.
Best Regards,
Igor Sotelo.

Hi All,
Thank you for the information. I configured the distance on the root bridges, but the links showed instability.
I'm using a bi-directional amplifier. It has two pieces. According to the manuals, one is installed indoors, the other outdoors. I'm not sure if the indoors piece has the transmition module or it's only the injector.
We could establish connection at 7 km (around 4 milles) distance from the central point, using 24 dBi antennas on the other side.
However, we have issues with a near located point that is only 1.2 Km (around 0.8 milles) away and has a 13 dBi integrated patch antenna. The signal strenght value we get there is in the -62 to -68 dBm range, and is noticiably (5-10 dBm) lower than the strenght we get at other points of the link. And I have trouble establishing a high quality link with that point, using OFDM modulation. I tend to think that if I remove the amplifier I'm not going to reach that point at all. The EIRP on the central iste is 34 dBm / 2.5 watts, without amplifier it would be 26 dBm / 0.4 watts.
On the opposite sites the EIRP is 33 dBm / 2 watts using CCK or 28 dBm / 0.63 watts using OFDM.
When one looks at the central site from that point, an Motorola Canopy with passive reflector (EIRP 48 dBm or around 64 watts) can be seen. It doesn't have the same direction, but the opposite site must be large distance and could interfere with my wireless network. Attached is an amplified photo of the view. It's safe to assume that the Canopy operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range.
Once I connect the point at 1.2 Km, the multipoint link loses its quality, and soon the lost packets get too frequent.
The CCK seems to be much more interfered than OFDM, I guess because of that canopies.
Another thing I'm wondering about is if the Aironet 1310 can continuosly switch CCK-OFDM over the same point - multipoint link, without losing packets.
What other parameters should I tweak? Is there a way to avoid interferences fromt the canopy?
I would like to apply 100 mWatts local power using the radio with OFDM, but it seems that's not possible.
Best Regards,
Igor Sotelo.

Wireless Bridge needed. Will it work ?

Hi,
I need to run connectivity between two racks in a datacentre (about 10 metres apart). About 15Mbps b/width needed.
I have installed a CAT5e cable between the two racks (with two redundant switch-pairs in each). Only thing is, if that cross connect cable gets cut or the switches go down, I have no second path.
I need a second route:
I am thinking about running a couple of wireless bridges between the racks (and utilize Rapid Spanning Tree to "block" the wireless route). All done via Layer2.
1) I assume my design with RSTP would work ?
2) Despite both antenni's being inclosed in metal racks, I am hoping the signal strenth would be strong enough across a 10 metre distance.
(bare in mind it's a data centre with lots of metal)
3) Any suggestions on products, this need to do this on a budget
Many Thanks for reading.
Hope someone can help.
Kind Regards
Matt

Thanks for the response.
Not possible: I cannot run a second cable.
I am hoping 2x Cisco WET200 bridged will do the job, they are cheap (approx £80 each)
If it works it will be a nice reduundant layer2 path

Matt

Wireless Bridging and WLC

Hi everyone,
We were planning to perform outdoor wireless bridging between different buildings in a city.
I wanted to know if it was necessary to install a Wireless LAN controller for this kind of deployment (outdoor only) ?
Thanks!
Regards,
Fadel

Well what is the requirement for the link. The Exalt bridges do a good job and you can get up to 160mbps half duplex. The mesh is a bit more expensive and are intended not for such a long distance but requires a WLC. If you require higher throughput, then you need to look at another vendors point to point bridging.

Wireless Bridge Solution

Hello,
I am looking for a wireless Bridge Solution the distance between 2 buildings is 200 Metre approx and the height of the buildings are 24 metres. The desired bandwidth is 11 Mbps and above.
Please help me in finalizing the solution. I am looking for a cheap solution other than 1300, 1400 or 1500 solution.
Regards..

You can always use a 1242 in bridge mode with external antennas. You will need a NEMA heated/cooled enclosure for the ap unless that will be mounted indoors, lightning arrestor and LMR cable to extend the antenna if required and antenna mounting hardware. But with most systems, you will need line of site, so hopefully you have this. Antenna wise, you can go with a yagi at both ends.

Wireless Bridge between 2 building

Hi !
I need a wireless bridge between a second building (across the street, about 100' direct) to our main building and a switch.
Can anyone recommend me a good products/solutions.
The purpose of this bridge is to connect the remote office via a small Cisco Switch with 6 computers, and 6 IP Phones w/video.
Thanks !

The 1300 comes in two flavors, one with internal antenna and the other with external antenna connectors. For the distance you indicated I would use the internal antenna model, it is rated for up to 1.25 miles and requires less accuracy in alignment than the YAGI antenna. I believe the spread of the signal is 15 degrees on the built in antenna.
The YAGI could be used with the external antenna model but will limit your exterior coverage for users other than the remote bridge.

Wireless bridging to a remote building ~350-400 feet away

I'd use a two old Cisco 1242a/b/g's (in WGB mode) with small 5 Ghz parabolic back haul antennas. Total project costs around $150 (the 1242s are often $15 - $20 on eBay) and that would give me 54Mbs up to about 1.8 miles :)

Our experiential learning/teambuilding division wants our office and guest wifi to be available at a gazebo in the woods, We have the option of running fiber there, but it would blow the budget, so we're looking at using wireless radios to bridge the distance. We have line of sight, obstructed by a few tall pine trees, at a distance of 350 feet or so. We are not looking for anything super high performance here, but we need a reliable connection from this gazebo back to our network and the internet. Virtually all our WAPs are Ubiquiti UAP-AC's and we love them. So, ideally we would put a UAP-AC in the gazebo for our devices to connect to, and then have a wireless bridge between that WAP and our network. With the good luck we've had with Ubiquiti gear, I'm curious as to what bridge equipment spiceheads would recommend for this type of...

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.

Hi Team,
Any suggestion??

Wireless bridge from hotspot to router

Hi I recently moved into a new building that has some hotspots for Internet connection which is included in the rent price. I have a linksys Cisco wireless-G Broadband router model no. WRT54G2 V1 and I am trying to create a wireless bridge between the hotspot (I have my own Unique Internet identifier) to the router, which is then connected to my desktop using an Ethernet wire.
Can I create a wireless bridge, if yes, how do I do this?
Thanks in advance

The router (WRT54G2 V1) does not have a wireless receiver capability so you will need a separate ethernet bridge.
Your setup should be like this:
(((Wireless connection)))--->(((Ethernet bridge<-wired connection->Linksys router<-wired connection->Desktop computer
I hope that makes sense. XD

1300 Wireless Bridge

I have been using two 1310 wireless bridges for about six months now. They have been working very well. However this morning they stoped connecting and one says that the Software status is disabled and the hardware status is down.
in the configuration the Radio is enabled and one is set to root the other to non-rooot. Nothing changed just stopped working. I even tried switching witch is root and Non-Root. The problem stays with the Non-Root.
Thanks
Phillip
