Cisco Access Point Air-Lap1242: It wont save config

Hi
I have 2 Air-Lap1242 that wont save their config after reboot.
They are managed by a WLC (4404) and it all seems pretty fine and dandy, but when i reboot them, they dont want to save anything.
I am setting them up as bridges (mesh), and it works until i reboot them, then I have to do it all over again.
Using CLI to type in "write mem" or "copy running-config startup-config" only results in:
"Building configuration... [OK] ->
NVRAM Verification Failed "
Anyone who has any sort of solutions to this? Ive tried to google hard on the subject, but didnt get any wiser.

When the AP joins the controller, I set up the settings for its intended use, in this example a bridge. (one ap as root, one as mesh).
After everything is filled out, i reload the ap's and all is good. Then i fill in the "mesh"-folder that appears after reload and reload the Ap and once again all is saved on the Ap. If I disconnect the power to them, both Ap's return to factory default.

Which Cisco Access Point is Waterprof ? (outdoor:BR1300 + AIR-ANT24120)

hi,
My questions to the community :
i have to choose for a customer some 50 Access points but that must have an external antennas with at least 8 dbi as gain and to be waterprof
for me the BR1300 + AIR-ANT24120 is a good choice if the BR1300 is Waterproof (For me :normaly all Cisco Access Point Outdoor must be WaterProof : but i want to have a confirmation with a document if possible )
and it's interessant to knew ,which Cisco Access Point is Waterproof ?
Think you All !
Zammit Ikbel

the 1310 is going to be waterproof, as is the 15xx product line, (152x and 155x). All this can be found in the data sheet for the AP.
That being said, you can also put any of the external AP into a NEMA enclosure, and have it be waterproofed, so long as the enclosure is rated as such.

Configuring Cisco Access Points 1602i Air-SAP-1602I-Z-K9

Hi everyone,
I am having touble configuring cisco access points 1602i. I have configured them and they are broadcasting SSID and clients are able to connect to them, but the only thing which is troublesome is speed. I have 100Mbps bandwidth speed but at access point I am getting speed between 17 to 25. Can anyone please tell me where I am gone wrong.
I have Juniper Srx210 configured as backbone for providing internet on fiber. Then further I have attached one POE switch (managable). From that switch I have attached 4 access points.
One more thing,two ports of Juniper is configured as Vlans, one for staff and one for students. I have attached this POE switch to Student Vlan, but haven't configured ports of POE switch as trunk. Please tell me do I have to configure ports as trunk on POE Switch. Is this the cause of slow bandwidth over access points.
I am also planning to go for Wlan Controller to manage Access points. When I contact my supplier about it, told me the following:
"You just need to convert the Access points to autonomous mode. Here are some details, there is no additional charge."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ_NuxdRhQ4
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-14960
I looked at the links but couldn't understand properly. Then I searched over the internet and found out that
"a cisco autonomous access point basically runs on its own while a lightweight access point uses a centralized device called a wireless lan controller to get its configuration. autonomous access points are managed individually, while the lightweight access points can be managed centrally. also, the switchport configurations to support both types of access points will differ. "
I didn't understand, why he suggested to go for Wlan controller and to upgrade access points to autonomous mode, when according to above finding, it says that autonomous access points runs individually.
Please advice.
I shall be thankfull

Hello Scott and Leo,
Thanks for all your help.
I have managed to install and configure 4 Access points and Now Access points are giving speed between 25 to 45Mbps. Still not enought but it sloving the purpose. Everyone is enjoying their face book. I will soon get the Cisco Wlan Controller as well. I dont know if there is a way to get more speed from these access points. I am ready to buy more equipments if required.
Anyway, today I need your guys expretise once again. As you know Junipr Srx 210 is configured for fiber internet to provide internet services to school. Now we are changing the building and transfering the line to new building. This time I want to use Cisco router in place of Juniper Srx210. But I need to know what model will support the current configuration for fiber. Would you please tell me what model/series router will be suitable for fiber internet and for implementing other restrictions.
I am attaching a picture of current jiniper Srx 210 for your consideration.
I shall be very thankfull to you

Cisco Access Point Configuration to support 802.11b & 802.11g protocol

How do i Configure access point to support both 802.11b & 802.11g clients on a Cisco 1121G series access point(AIR-AP1121G-A-K9)
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,
Check out this excerpt from the 1121g AP Installation guide section on enabling the 802.11b and 802.11g radios.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA and later, the access point radios are disabled by default, and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radios before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of newly installed access points. Refer to the "Configuring Basic Security Settings" section for instructions on configuring the SSID.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or earlier, the access point radio is enabled by default, and the default SSID is tsunami.
To enable the radio interfaces, follow these instructions:
Step 1 Use your web-browser to access your access point.
Step 2 When the Summary Status page displays, click Network Interfaces > Radio0-802.11B or Radio0-802.11G and the radio status page displays.
Step 3 Click Settings and the radio settings page displays
Step 4 Click Enable in the Enable Radio field.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Here is a link to the actual document:

QoS for voice over access point AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9

Necesito saber si en el access point AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 se puede configurar QoS para trafico de voz. El cliente tiene 5 laptops en las cuales tiene instalado softphones ( software de telefono IP). Desde una laptop se genera trafico de datos y voz. Gracias.

Julio,
Yes, you can do QoS on an IOS AP. The below link describes how you configure it.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_21a_JA1/configuration/guide/scg12421aJA1-chap15-qos.html
Keep in mind, that with a softphone, or even dual-band cell phones, the applicaiton has to be able to mark it's traffic appropriatly, for the QoS to work as it should.

Setting up wireless Cisco Access Points independently and network layout

Hello,
I am technician in a school. I have been asked to upgrade wireless system in school. Currently I am using VDSL2 30Mbps line. I am using E4200 Router, which is providing internet services. The school has 3 floors. On one floor I have this router which is further attached with 16 port gigabit unmanageable switch. The same router is providing wireless service on the same floor using Class C ip address. From the switch I have extended a cable and took it on to another (second floor), where I have got one more gigabit switch. From that switch I have connected one router using different subnet and further i have attached two access points for the entire floor, which is working ok. From the same switch I have extended one more cable up to third floor where I have connected one more access point. So, 3 access points on three floors, 2 switches and two router. This is the current network layout.
Now school have decided to go over to fiber. ISP is going to put Juniper router and going to create vlan and will configure access restrictions. School will have 100Mbps unlimited up and download speed. Its because of increase in number of students. School is still waiting for the router and configuration to be done.
I have got 4 cisco 1602i access points (AIR-SAP1602I-Z-K9). These access points are POE supported. I have got one 8 port POE switch also. When I got these 4 cisco I didnt get power adapters with them. First I want to ask, is this normal. Don't they usually come with power adapter. I know they are POE, but cisco doesn't send them with power adapters.
Second I want to ask, if these access points can work independent without WLAN controller. Or do i have to have WLAN controller.
As fiber is not up yet so, for the time being I have connected these access points with POE switch using Cat5E cable and then further connected the POE switch with normal gigabit switch, which is further conneted with router at this point.
Please tell me if I am doing it correctely. I will also be needing help with the configuration.
Can anyone tell me how to setup these access points independently for current situation to provide internet access. How to set them on different channels etc......
Also want to know if there is any software that can detect access points and can help me manage these access points.
I shall be thankful.

User unable to connect to new access point AIR-CAP3502P-S-K9

Hi Guys,
In my branch there are 8 access points[ AIR-CAP3502I-S-K9 ] connected to Wireless controller which is been working fine since the beginning.. I had to add two more access points to this branch and after the failure, i realised this Access point [ AIR-CAP3502P-S-K9 ] is latest and it needs the minimum image 7.3.101.. So i did a upgrade on WLC 5508 and all 10 access points have joined successfully...
Issue am facing is when NEW users come under AP 9 and AP 10 get associated successfully, but the old users(Projetc Manager) who been in the branch for very long and able to get associated with other AP's [1 to 8] gets associated successfully with all old AP's but not with the new AP's..
Could please some one advise, why this strange behaviour... I googled for answer but am not getting any right solution...

Do you have AP Groups configured?
The old wireless clients, are their drivers up to date?

Can cisco MSE(mobility service engine) configured to work with non-cisco access points?

I understand that access points can be configured to forwards all the probe requests to cisco wifi controller. cisco MSE(mobility service engine) gets the probes from wifi controller to find the location of the mobile devices.
My question, can cisco MSE(mobility service engine) be configured to work with non-cisco access points?

No and the reason why is the NMSP communication from the MSE to the WLC. Other vendors don't support this so there is no communication happening.

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.
not more.

PPPoE on Cisco Access Point

Hi, Im looking for possibility to configure Cisco Access Points for PPPoE and VPDN anybody knows pls reply to [email protected] tks

I think it is possible to configure AP to fucntion over PPPOE. But since AP is just a layer2 device, we also need a layer 3 device like router to support PPPOE. Without layer 3 device, it is not possible.

AP1262 bridge to Non-Cisco Access Point?

I would like to use a Cisco AP1262 in a mobile command vehicle to bridge to any WiFi Access Point that I know the SSID and Pasword to. Will the 1262 Bridge to a Non-Cisco Access Point?
If so, any assistance in finding an example configuration would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Yes, you can configure 1262 as Universal Workgroup bridge where it will associate to any cisco or non-cisco root AP. You can only connect one wired client behind universal WGB.
You just need to configure "station-role workgroup-bridge universal <wired_client_MAC>" under radio interface of WGB. (1262)
Something similar should work for your 1262, if you want it in 5GHz, otherwise configure radio 0 interface for WGB
hostname WGB
dot11 ssid <SSID-NAME>
authentication open
authentication key-management wpa version 2
wpa-psk ascii <PASSWORD>
interface Dot11Radio1
encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
station-role workgroup-bridge universal 068d.098a.d422 <- Ur wired MAC
ssid <SSID-NAME>
bridge-group 1
interface GigabitEthernet0
bridge-group 1
NB: I haven't tested this, so you have to test & confirm. If WPA2/AES is not supported then you may need to choose suitable security protocol & encryption mechanism.

Cisco Access Points Rebooting

Has anyone experienced a Cisco Access Point reboot itself, on it's own?

7 out of 17 are rebooting... but it's not isolated to one IDF it's different spots within the building.i will check the log in flash.
Hmmmmm ... And if you do a "sh version" to everyone of them it comes up saying something like "by power-on"?
If this is the case, you may also want to consider the copper cables between your Injector and your AP.

PPPoE and VPDN config. in Cisco Access Points

Hi, Im looking for possibility to configure Cisco Access Points for PPPoE and VPDN anybody knows pls reply to [email protected] tks

I can only comment on the wireless voice side. Phones will be setting the Qos (Cos and ip precedence) you will need all the devices in the network to understand these QoS and act apropiately, prioritizing voice over other data.
If you can't guaratee that all devices that the voice will cross will maintain those Cos/dscp settings and will prioritize the voice, you can't guarantee how the voice quality would be.
