Cisco autonomous access points and WCS

Hi, I'm trying to add my autonomous access points to WCS which I have done but I'm not getting any performance data or errors etc.
Does anyone know if WCS support autonomous access points or do I have to use WLSE to get this info
Thanks

Greetings the WLSE will be needed to manage autonomous access points. The WCS application is geared towards LWAPP and Controller based implementations.
For a comparison please see the following document.

Types of Autonomous Access Point in the Cisco Market.

Hi All,
I am quite new to the wireless technologies. I need some help in understanding the basic models of Cisco wireless Hardware available in the market (Enterprise Level).
From my initial studies in past 24 hours what i understand is that Autonomous AP are the wireless AP which does not require Controllers. they needs to be configured on their on. So far i could find Cisco Aironet C1130 AG models which can be used as Autonomous Access Point.
Can anyone suggest any other Cisco AP which can be used as Autonomous Access Point?
Can 800 Series wireless routers be used as Autonomous Access Point?
Do we have any ISR Modules which can be inserted on a router to have a Autonomous Access Point?
Thanks.

I have short listed the routers in 800 series: 891W, 892W, 892F-W, C887VA-V-W, 861WDoes the command you have mentioned make these routers as Autonomous?
Of the 800 series (I have no knowledge about the 1900W), there are only five sub-models that have built-in wireless.
850W & 870W both have autonomous-only AP. These two models are already end-of-sale. So we scratch those two out of your list.
860W, 880W and 890W both have builti-in AP. The APs can operate EITHER in autonomous or controller-based. You can easily convert the AP from either controller-based to autonomous (and vice versa) by using the router command I've posted in my previous response.
A simple guide when dealing with the 800-series router. Notice that we end our models with a "0"? This basically is the sub-model. The one's that you've listed ends with different digit, like a 1, 2, 7. This is the "flavours". 7, for example. are xDSL WAN interface. If it ends in a 1, the WAN interface is Fast/GigabitEthernet. If I remembered correctly, the 2 has a fibre optic port as a WAN interface. The 887VA means it's a xDSL with Annex "M", I think, and it's geared up for voice.
It would be great if you could point out some models or PID of AP which will work in ISR G2 2900 3900 routers.
Go here. I'd recommend the 2600 access point. There are two sub-models: one with internal antenna (ends with an "I") and one with an external antenna (ends wth an "E"). If you want the "E", be aware that you need to purchase the appropriate antennas separately. If the APs are to be used indoors, use the "I".
Go through this other document: Wireless LAN Compliance Status
Make sure you get the appropriate AP with the correct regulatory domain of the country where the AP is going to be installed. For example, if the AP will be installed in USA, then get the one with the regulatory domain of "SAP2602I-A-K9" where "-A" is the regulatory domain of the USA.

Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
"I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread .id=67412
If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
Good luck.

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.

Logging devices connected to autonomous access points

Is there a way to log the devices that connect to a particular SSID of an autonomous access point? If yes, will you please show me a configuration example that will allow me to send that data to a logging server? If possible I will need to do this on 1250, 1240 and 1140 series access points.
Thanks!

I suppose this all depends on "what" excatly you are wanting to log. I haven't tried this, but you should be able to send SNMP traps to a remote SNMP receiver (client associations or failures, interfaces status, etc). Take a look at the AP IOS Configuration Guide, see what you think, and whether or not the SNMP traps you can send are of value to you. I have anchored this to the Configuring System Message Logging section: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4.25d.JA/Configuration/guide/scg12.4.25d.JA-chap21-msg-logging.html#wp1002608
If you are wanting to capture more granular information, such as session lengths, data traffic, internet usage, etc; for monitoring or reporting, that would probably require an appliance of a higher level.

Idle Users on Autonomous Access Points

Is there a way to set an idle timeout value on Autonomous Access Points? I have been researching and I see it is possible to do this on a WLC using Lightweights but the only timeouts I can find regarding Autonomous are Session/Holdoff and Re-authentication timeouts.
I would like to set an idle timeout so that only inactive clients will be disassociated however if I set a Re-authentication timeout for say 15 minutes, then someone who is genuinely using the wireless network for that period of time or longer would have to re-authentication also - which is something I would like to avoid.
Thanks.

Chromecast with Autonomous Access Points

I have a client that has a Chromecast, with a 1010 and a 1130 Autonomous access points. I can not get the Chromecast to work. Can someone tell me how to enable mDNS, or Multicast on these access points?

Hi Abhishek,
On which software code of Autonomous AP, you can run above command ?
We prefer you to check these commands & make sure they works in the products mentioned in this thread before responding.
Otherwise your/Cisco credibility lost based on the responses you make, if they are not related to the question asked.
As per below, this command is applicable for IOS based controllers & not applicable to Autonomous AP.

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,
Scott

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.

Silly doubt abt access-points and bridges

hi all i have read cisco doc wherein clients connecting to access-points and also where the cisco access-point is working like a bridge and still clients can connect to it .
then any specific reason why people generally connect clients to access-points.
i mean is there any benefit of either method over the other.
any help and guidance would be really helpful.
regards
sushil

In short, it is preferred to have users connect to access points.... 99% of the time. You can use a wireless bridge (that is associated to an AP) that is connected to a switch/hub to supply network connectivity to wired users off the switch/hub. There are also access points that can be used as a bridge for building point to point connectivity.
Look at the home users with wireless.... it allows then to move from place to place (as long as there is coverage) without having to be wired in.

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,
Scott
