Cisco Wireless AP configuration as DHCP

I have 10 Cisco 1242 wireless Ap in my Office. 04 of them will be relocated in a different place where we dont have any DHCP server. I would like to configure those AP's as DHCP provider for their associated clients.
Is it possible I know but I dont know how to accomplish that.
Is there anyone who can answer this? If yes please let me know this from which option CLI or Web view I can configure those AP's?
Regards,
Sayeed.

Hi,
Here is the link which tells us how to accomplish the task.. But make sure.. the IP addresses will be leased by the AP in the management ip subnet only.. please check the below doc before implementing..

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Always disconnect

Dear All,
Please help to assist my issue.I used Cisco Wireless LAN Controller model: 5508 with version 7.0.98.0 and I got issue with connection always disconnect ping always loss or some time client can't get DHCP from Controller.
- I configure as Internal DHCP Server with 1 SSID.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4400-series-wireless-lan-controllers/110865-dhcp-wlc.html
- DHCP least is not full and I also try to clear-lease all but still not work.

1. Config dhcp proxy enable
2. In case of internal Dhcp, try debug for clients
using,
debug client <MAC ADDRESS OF CLIENT>

Cisco WLC 2125 configuration help

So in a nutshell, from My computer I can ping all VLANS - everything seems to in workding order.
when telnet to the HP 5406zl core routing switch I can ping all VLANs and other parts of the network
But when logged into the Cisco wireless Lan Controller I cant ping VLAN 108 gateway IP (172.24.156.2 ) from the neighbour switch or other services on this VLAN
for example cant ping the DHCP on this vlan from WLC.
The neighbour switch can ping IP of the management interface created on the WLC
WLC cant ping VLAN 108
WLC can ping all other VLAN 102,104,106
Not sure where the problem is ??
Configure Dynamic Interfaces on the WLC for the Guest and Internal Users - DONE
Create WLANs for the Guest and Internal Users - DONE
Configure the 5406zl Layer 2/3 Switch Port that Connects to the WLC as Trunk Port allowing the relevant vlans i.e. management vlan, vlan 102 and Vlan 108 - DONE
Configure the Switch Port that Connects to the AP to VLAN 102 - DONE
configure virtual interface IP 1.1.1.1 - DONE
Configure the Router for the WLANs - DONE
LAP is registered to the WLC - DONE
WLAN and SSID broadcast - OK

Not at present it is not, the port on the 5406zl that the WLC is connected was setup as a trunk group and All VLAN tagged. When I tried this I lost all connectivity to the WLC. Is there something on the WLC that need changing also?.

Cisco wireless and Apple Mac woes

Hello all,
I've been working with Cisco wireless and WLC's for a couple of years now but the recent onslaught of Apple Mac's is giving me heart burn. I've seen this at numerous sites now and need to throw it to eht community for guidance.
Basically we have had a number of instances where the Macs just fall off the wifi. Sometimes it's when they wake from sleep and other times when roaming between AP's (1131s with same SSID's). Our standard install is WPA2 and per ap local authentication. PC's work fine and never an issue.
We have completed a survey with a spectrum analyser and no RF interefence is present nor errors on the radio interface.
Questions:
- Is there a preferred Cisco config/setup for Mac's to work reliably? I've heard loads of rumors but nothing concrete and nor can I find anything specific.
- Should I be setting up WDS in case there is an authenticating issue.
- For those who are Mac gurus and happen to be reading. What Mac options we should look at?
This has all come to a head because the clients IT company who recommended the Macs (different from us doing the network infrastructure) are insisting that the problem is Cisco incompatibility and that we should rip out the Cisco kit and install airports (what tha!!!).
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
For those who like a config here it is .... Vanilla stuff really

Yeah!! even i have come across multiple issue with MAC and Cisco.. these are the below settings which i normally do on the cisco gears and most of the times this solved the issue..
on the IOS AP disable Aironet Extentions and set the poer local and ofdm to max
no dot11 extension aironet
power local cck max
power local ofdm max
end
On the WLC, disable Aironet IE..

I have a Cisco wireless router. Can I buy an Airport Express plug in booster for a distant part of my house or do I need an Airport Extreme base station instead to make the Airport Express plug in booster work?

Can I buy an Airport Express plug-in wifi signal booster to connect to a Cisco wireless router, or do I have to buy an Airport Extreme base station to make the Airport Express plug-in work?

You would need either an AirPort Extreme or an AirPort Express connected to the Cisco router, with a permanent Ethernet cable connection.
Configure the Extreme or Express that is connected to the Cisco router to "create a wireless network".
Then, you could add an AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide more wireless coverage for the network that the Extreme or Express would be creating.
Remember that the Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives, so it must be located where it can receive a strong signal from the "main" AirPort.
If you don't need the Cisco wireless signal, you could turn it off.....or use that network for guests or something similar.
The bottom line here......you always need two Apple routers if you want to extend the network wirelessly.

MacBook Pro will not connect to Cisco Wireless Network

I have just bought a brand new MacBook Pro, running Leopard (OSX 10.5.1) and I just cannot get it to connect to the Wireless Network at my workplace.
The MBP connects to wireless network and authenticates just fine, but will not obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
The wireless network consists of 16 Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Points controlled by a Cisco Wireless Network Controller. It does not broadcast its SSID and is WEP 128-bit hex protected.
Changing the network from WEP to WPA is out of the question for me as this is under the control of my customers IT Department and they do not have any problems with their PCs connecting to the network. It appears to be an Apple issue.
For reference, my old Vaio PC, my Nokia N95 and my iPod Touch ALL connect to the same wireless network without any problems whatsoever, first time, every time!
If I boot into Windows XP from my Boot Camp partition, XP can connect wirelessly to the network without any problems, so it is not MacBook hardware related...
It has to be a bug in Mac OSX... doesn't it?!?
Things I have already tried (following suggestions on many forums):
* Switching Airport off/on
* Deleting various network-related Plist files and rebooting
* Manually assigning an IP Address (not really permitted but doesn't work anyway!)
* Disabling all network adaptors except Airport
AP Grapher shows that the MBP is connected to the wireless network, at good strength, and packets are being sent and received, but Internet Access is not possible as no IP Address has been assigned. Instead, my MBP shows a 169.* IP Address (self-assigned). It should be a 10.1.255.* address.
Can anybody please help? Thank you.

i posted this same reply elsewhere because it worked for me for my Buffalo wireless router: try manually setting your IP address instead of relying on DHCP, which sometimes (I don't know why) doesn't work well with Macs. It's a good get around. I am a happy Mac user but nothing is perfect on earth, and when the Mac gives problems, it does give a lot of frustration. Macs are not as easy to troubleshoot as Win because a Mac is built to be user friendly(and it works most of the time), meaning a lot of the background computing stuff is hidden away from users to avoid user accidentally upsetting some settings.
Unfortunately, the highly automated troubleshooting wizards provided by OS X are not perfect so when these software wizards fail to resolve the problem, like my Network Diagnostics, I have to spend more time tinkering around. There's "Terminal" of course but then most of us, especially PC converts to Macs, don't know how to use it.
You should also try updating your MBP, see if there are any new updates being released.

Cisco Wireless Location Appliance

dear
i have WCS with 500 ap License
i need to have Cisco Wireless Location Appliance what lisens i need for 500 ap
please explain to me that

Hi Ahmed,
This is the upgrade License SKU for upgrading WCS to WCS Location;
WCS-LOC-UPG-K9
Supports deployment of Cisco WCS on a single server only.
For customers upgrading from their existing Cisco WCS base licenses to equivalent Cisco WCS location licenses running Cisco WCS Software Release 4.1 or later.
Available as Cisco WCS location in increments of 50, 100, or 500 lightweight access points.
Customers currently using this license with Cisco WCS Software Release 4.0 are encouraged to upgrade to Cisco WCS Software Release 4.1, but they are not required to do so.
Order the Correct Cisco WCS SKUs
The process to order Cisco WCS SKUs for WCS-STANDARD-K9, WCS-LOC-UPG-K9, WCS-WLSE-UPG-K9 and WCS-ENT-K9 is presented below. To request help with ordering, please contact Cisco Customer Service: http://www.cisco.com/go/customerservice.
1. Login to the Cisco Ordering Tool.
2. Enter the family SKU of WCS-STANDARD-K9 or WCS-LOC-UPG-K9 or WCS-WLSE-UPG-K9 or WCS-ENT-K9 into "Enter Product" in the Ordering Tool and then press "Enter."
3. The family SKU will display in the ordering area. (Figure 6).
4. Select the "Line" for the family SKU
5. Once you have been taken to the configuration screen, select one of these options from the left side (Figure 7):
For WCS-STANDARD-K9 select one of the sub-SKUs based on the following:
Base: WCS Standard AP Base Option
Location: WCS Standard AP Location Option

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

Hi Joao,
The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
Overview of WCS
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

Windows 2k8 Radius Server with Cisco Wireless Controllers

We currently are using a Cisco 4400 wireless controller with an older Cisco Secure ACS appliance that is going EOL. My hope was to just connect our 4400 Wireless Controller to a Windows Server 2008 Radius Server (Just using Microsoft's Network Policy Server) but have not had any luck in getting this to work. Does anyone have an easy to follow set of instructions on configuration of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 NPS for use with Cisco Wireless Controllers? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

VLAN assignment without ACS on Cisco Wireless Controller 5508

I was wondering if it is possible to do dynamic VLAN assignment on the Cisco Wireless Controller 5508 without using Cisco ACS but use Microsoft NPS server instead? Is there a manual or article that someone can point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

Any RADIUS server will allow you to do the dynamic vlan assignment if you configure the right RADIUS attributes (64, 65 and 81 that Steve mentioned above).
This doc shows example of dynamic vlan assignment with WLC and ACS.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008076317c.shtml
Same config on WLC is needed. However, on the RADIUS you need to configure the same attributes on the NPS instead.

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.

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)
