Cisco Aironet 802.11 a/b/g Access point

I dont know if this is the correct forum but here goes anyways
I have acquired about 25 aironet 802.11 a/b/g access points
with a Cisco Wireless Lan controller that I am in the middle
of setting up. In the meantime is it possible to set one of these
access points up in the same way a netgear type home wireless
router works? I have used these to setup kiosk type access with
NAT and switched private network access as well. Is this possible
with one of these access points?
Thanks

Your Netgear is a two-in-one:  You have a router and with an embedded wireless access point.
Your 802.11 a/b/g, either an 1130 or a 1240, is just a plain wireless access point.  Cisco has three routers which are routers and have embedded wireless access point (only one is 802.11 a/b/g/n but the other two are only 802.11 b/g).
If you want to run NAT, you need to have a router to do the NAT-ing.  The wireless access point, as what others have pointed out, is just a plain Layer 2 device.

  • How to assiciate Aironet 802.11 adapter to a access point?

    I installed a adapter in my laptop. When I tried to use it at home with a wireless router, it found the channel however "not assiciated". How can I manually associate it? Is it supposed to do it automatically?
    Thanks

    Hi Gary,
    do you use the same subnet for wired / wireless LAN access??
    Then the arp table of your PC thinks it is connected via the last connected interface - mostly ethernet.
    Open a DOS-Box and try to clear the arp cache with the command "arp -d *"
    Also clear the DNS cache with the command "ipconfig /flushdns".
    Maybe you are using another proxy from the WLAN into the internet? If so check the settings in the Internet Explorer Under Option -> Connections.
    This might help.
    Best regards,

  • Cisco Network Assistant(CNA) not connecting to access points.

    When I create a community with CNA, it finds the 2960 switch and connects to it.  However it shows "connection failed" for all the 702i access points.  Not sure why it shows connection failed.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Also, if I try to connect directly to the access point thru CNA, it says not accessible.
    Thanks.

    It will be helpful for other community members to know the solution and cause, if can be shared.

  • Cisco Aironet 1510

    On the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point spec sheet from the Cisco.com website, it states that the input power for the DC inline POE is 28.5 W at 48 VDC, nominal. What is the maximum power at 48 VDC? On AC, the nominal power is 57.8W at 120 VAC. What is the maximum power at 120 VAC?
    Also, I see that the Cisco 1510 only uses AC as a source. Does Cisco have a device for the Cisco Aironet 1510 that uses DC as a source? For example, instead of using the POE Injector that Cisco has, which uses an input of 120VAC (1.5A) and outputs 48VDC (1.2A), does Cisco have a POE Injector that uses an input of 12VDC and outputs 48VDC (1.2A).

    I think the maximum draw (with both radios and heater on) is 57.8 Watts, but with the heater not active it's much lower around 36.84 Watts.

  • IOS to LWAPP for 1130AG Access Points

    We have initially installed IOS-based 1130 APs. If we would be upgrading it to LWAPP mode, could we pushed IOS-to-LWAPP upgrade thru the network? what procedures are required?

    Hi Leopoldo,
    This is possible and fully supported and can be done using the "LWAPP Upgrade Tool". Have a look at the following;
    LWAPP Upgrade Tool Troubleshoot Tips
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008072d9a1.shtml
    Access points must run Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA or later before you use the upgrade tool.
    System Requirements
    You can use the Autonomous to Lightweight Mode upgrade tool to install Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JX on these access points:
    All 1100 series access points containing MP21G (802.11g) radios
    ***All 1130, 1230, and 1240 series access points
    All modular 1200 series access points running Cisco IOS software and containing these supported radios:
    802.11g: MP21G, MP31G
    802.11a: AIR-RM21A-x-K9, AIR-RM22A-x-K9
    All 1300 series access points in access point mode
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/ios/release/notes/b311jx1.html
    Cisco has released a free tool called the "Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool" that allows selected Cisco Aironet autonomous access point models to be configured for lightweight mode operation.
    The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports the following models:
    Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series access points
    Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series access points
    Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access points that contain 802.11g (AIR-MP21G-x-K9) and/or second-generation 802.11a radios (AIR-RM21A-x-K9 or AIR-RM22A-x-K9)
    Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points
    **Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points that contain 802.11g radios (AIR-AP1121G-x-K9)
    Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Points/Bridges (AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 or AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R). A Cisco Aironet 1300 Series operating in Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) mode only operates as an access point. This series does not support LWAPP bridging mode.
    The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports a process to migrate an autonomous access point from autonomous mode to lightweight mode. Unlike a VxWorks to Cisco IOS Software upgrade, this process is a Cisco IOS Software upgrade to the existing Cisco IOS Software image-not an operating system "swapout". In converted access points operating in lightweight mode, Cisco IOS Software continues to run on the access point, while LWAPP is used to communicate with a wireless LAN controller. Since LWAPP supports automatic access point configuration, there is no need to retain or convert the original autonomous Cisco IOS Software access point configuration.

  • Cisco 802.11n Outdoor Access Point

    I have to propose to a client a 802.11n outdoor Acess point with external antenna, tha gain must be >8 dbi.
    Which cisco model should i use ?

    I have to propose to a client a 802.11n outdoor Acess point with external antenna, tha gain must be >8 dbi.
    DO NOT, under any circumstances, use 1260 or 3500e if you plan to use antennas > 6 dBi.  These two models DO NOT SUPPORT antenna gain higher than 6 dBi.  The only two 802.11n-capable WAP that can support high-gain antenna of > 6 dBi are the 1250 and the 3500p.
    Antenna Product Portfolio for Cisco Aironet 802.11n Access Points
    The 1250 is End-of-Sale (End-of-Sale Date:  12 January 2012) and requires 20.0w of PoE.  The 1250 can support antenna gain > 6 dBi.
    The 3500p was released around mid-2011 because people were howling/screaming about the lack of high-gain antenna support, thus the 3500p was developed alongside the AIR-ANT25137NP-R.
    Cisco recommends that the installation of the AIR-ANT25137NP-R should be done with proper sight-survey.

    my question is
    dose access point 1200 aironet lightweight work stand alone or must connect to controler if its work stand alone how i can disable controller and how i can setup it
    thanks

    You will need a controller to configured an AP running the LWAPP image. If you need it to run standalone you can convert it to IOS with the process in this document.

  • Does Cisco Prime have support for HP Access Points?

    I am trying to sell a solution to a client with dozens of large warehouses with a large existing HP wireless solution.  I want to sell them on a Cisco wireless solution involving Prime to manage/monitor their current HP Access Points while we do a phased replacement to Cisco WLC and APs.
    I cannot find listed in the documentation whether Cisco Prime has support for the HP access points though.  I see it has 'some' support listed for some Aruba controllers, but not anything else.

  • Scanning Access Points configured with JAPAN channels - 184,188 etc

    Hi,
    I have configured the below mentioned configuration for my Access Point. These wireless networks are not appearing in windows client network list. I have tried explicit scan also. Still it is not showing networks with 184,188 channels. But it is showing all remaining networks.
    Country code: JAPAN
    SSID for WLAN 1: Wireless Network1
    WLAN 1 mode: 5 GHz 54Mbps (802.11a)
    WLAN 1 auto channel: Enabled
    WLAN 1 channel: 184 (4920MHz)
    WLAN 1 alt. channel: 188 (4940MHz)
    SSID for WLAN 2: Wireless Network2
    WLAN 2 mode: 5 GHz 54Mbps (802.11a)
    WLAN 2 auto channel: Enabled
    WLAN 2 channel: 188 (4940MHz)
    I am using CISCO AIRONET 802.11a/b/g WIRELESS ADAPTER. This problem can occur due to the following reasons.
    (1) Do I need to set any region settings at Adapter?
    (2) Does adapter firmware depends upon
    country? How do I check the adapter firware?
    (3) Is there anything wrong with adapter vendor driver? Do I need to set anything in driver level for supporting JAPAN channels.
    Anyone please help me to identify and resolve the above problem.
    Thanks

    Ensure the world mode in the adapter is enabled so that it can scan any of the country channels. Ensure that the Broadcast option is enabled for the WLAN and that the SSID has been enabled on the corresponding Radios of the access point .

    What channels are available? The 802.11b standard defines a total of 14 frequency channels. The FCC allows channels 1 through 11 within the U.S.; whereas, most of Europe can use channels 1 through 13. In Japan, you have only one choice: channel 14.
    An important concept to note regarding channel assignments is that the channel actually represents the center frequency that the transceiver within the radio and access point uses (e.g., 2.412 GHz for channel 1 and 2.417 GHz for channel 2). There is only 5 MHz separation between the cente frequencies, and an 802.11b signal occupies approximately 30 MHz of the frequency spectrum. The signal falls within about 15 MHz of each side of the center frequency. As a result, an 802.11b signal overlaps with several adjacent channel frequencies. This leaves you with only three channels (channels 1, 6, and 11 for the U.S.) that you can use without causing interference between access points.

  • Is there an Airport utility to connect to specific wireless access points?

    (Trying the server forum... not getting any bites in the Airport or Tiger areas). It appears that the factory airport cards found in iBooks & PowerBooks do not always connect to the strongest wireless signal in a network with a mixture of Airport Extreme, Airport Graphite and Cisco Aironets. Is there a utility for Panther & Tiger that will allow a user to pick the access point he/she wants to use instead of allowing the card to automatically select? Windows XP shows you all the access points and allows you to select the strongest signal. Here's an example of the problem: an employee with a new PowerBook is sitting 10 feet away from a new Cisco Aironet 802.11 b/g access point, but his PowerBook insists upon using the much weaker signal from an Airport Exteme 802.11 b/g access point from the floor below him. This is one wireless network emitting the same SSID and encryption. What gives?
    Thanks in advance!

    hmm well i beleaved that a mac wireless card automatically picked the strongest signal,
    but can i ask are they both running at G or B all the time, maybe the stronger signal is only available at B so the powerbook picks up the signal from the weeker access point thats available at G.
    I thought that the speed, B or G is dependant on what card connects, that if a B card connects to an access point then the whole access point is lower to B speed, maybe this is so, im not sure, so maybe its not only signal strength but speed as well that determines what access point to join.

  • Two different regulatory domains on one access point

    Hi
    we use a Cisco wireless controller (2500 series) with four access points (LAP1142N).
    All of these access points have the regulatory domain E (in the product name). Even the lateset access point we added. But this one cannot activate the second internal radio (5GHz) because of a not supported regulatory domain. The controller shows the first radio as 802.11bg:-E and the second radio as 802.11a:-C.
    Changing the location settings didn't effect anything. The second radio is still offline.
    Is there a way to change the regulatory domain of the second radio? Or was there a wrong radio/antenna-module installed? Or is it even a bug in the software?
    Thanks a lot for your help

    RMA the AP.

  • E2500 as an additional access point will not connect

    Hello,
    I have AT&T Uverse which provides Internet for my home.  The wireless capability of this router is pretty bad, I don't get good/reliable wireless reception upstairs in my office.  The solution was to buy a Cisco E2500 and add it as an access point upstairs.
    I have the E2500 LAN port connected to the LAN port of my uverse router downstairs.  DHCP is turned off on the E2500.  I have my office PC wired into the E2500.  The home PC works fine, its getting DHCP from the uverse router downstairs and connects and good speeds.  The problem comes with my wireless devices trying to connect to the E2500. 
    I should mention that yesterday when i bought this, all worked fine.  This morning when I came into my office none of the wireless devices would connect to the E2500 at all.   But as soon as I remove the cable that connects the E2500 to the uverse router downstairs they will connect via wireless but of course not get an IP address since that is disabled.  No idea what is going on here.
    I have factory reset the E2500 and uverse router several times and am getting no where.   Any ideas what could be causing the wireless devices to not connect at all?

    I think you are having problems because you didn't give the E2500 an appropriate static IP address outside of your Uverse gateway's DHCP range.
    A better option would be to reset the E2500 to factory defaults and then follow these bridge mode intructions:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/GetArticle.aspx?docid=28cee6a2fb0d4176a2210942d1d5836c_Setting_up_the_...
    You should give the E2500 seperate (different names) SSID's and make sure your wireless channels are different on AT&T gateway and E2500.  Use 1, 6, or 11
    The best option, however, would be to reset the E2500 to factory defaults and use the IP passthrough feature on your AT&T gateway.  If you use the IP passthrough feature on the  AT&T gateway, you would use internet connection type DHCP on the E2500 and it would be functioning as a NAT router.  The IP passthrough feature on you AT&T gateway allows your E2500 to receive a public IP address and you will be able to avoid the AT&T gateway's NAT.  So you will just be using the E2500's NAT.  You will need to change the MTU to manual and you can ask AT&T what the appropriate mtu is for Uverse.

  • Infrastructure access point unreachable for management, but is passing traffic.

    We have 2 aironet 1310 aps setup as infrastructure access points between 2 buildings.  One went south on us & we placed it.  Before the bad one went down, we were able to manage both remotely & could see them from the next device via CDP.  Now, we can't connect or even ping either AP.  And the weird part is that the switches that connected to each can see each other via CDP, but not the access points between them.  I'm attaching the configuration.  Before I make the 2.5 hour drive back to the site, does anyone have an idea on what I may have misconfigured on either or both access points?
