Configuring CISCO AIRONET AP

Hello;
how to configure the IP Adress of CISCO AIRONET 1600i AP to access It through the Web browser and configure It?
we tried to assign a static IP using CLI so we downloaded Tera Term and tried to connect It using the DB Cable. The following message shows up:
*Mar 1 01:41:43.674: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC using DHCP IP. Renewing DHCP IP.
we tried to execute 'Enable' command and It works then we tried to execute 'config t' command but failed (the other commands do not work too):
APf07f.06f0.93b5#config t
^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
I connected the Aironet AP to a Router which has 192.168.1.1 as a default IP Adress and thats what shows up on the terminal:
Translating "CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.Home"...domain server (192.168.1.1)
*Mar 1 00:34:05.251: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Did not get log server settings from DHCP.
*Mar 1 00:34:05.255: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Could Not resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.Home
Not in Bound state.
*Mar 1 00:34:50.754: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC using DHCP IP. Renewing DHCP IP.
*Mar 1 00:34:53.766: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Invalid event 38 & state 2 combination.

Hi
By default these AP comes with lightweight image & require a WLC to manage it.(unless you specifically order this AP with autonomous image)
If you want to convert it autonomous (to use without a WLC) then you have to load an autonomous image to it. You should have an image like this (ap1g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JAB.tar) to begin with (you may require a valid maintenance contract to download this from cisco web site)
Then you can follow one of the methods to convert it to a autonomous AP

Configuring Cisco Aironet 1140 for Radius and setting up a Radius server

guys i need some help setting up my Radius to work with cisco aironet 1140, i am new at this however i was tasked with setting up a Radius server and setting our AP with WPA2- enterprise so users can log into our AP using AD credentials.
When i try to setup on the AP a new SSID i do not see the option for WPA2- enterprise?

Here are other links with examples:

Configuring Cisco Aironet 1100 Access Point. Please help!

Hi all,
I have dozens of Cisco Aironet 1100 access points, each is managing its own wi-fi with DHCP.
I had to disable dhcp on them because they are on a wired subnet where I am using the static IPs and don't want my wired clients to get DHCP addresses, nor someone to be able to plug the wire into own laptop and get on the network.
It's been working fine with one exception - I need to be able to ping my access points from the central site, and I can't.
What IOS command would enable ICMP echo on my access points in this case?
Please help!

Cisco Aironet 1130AG WPA2 Configuration

Hi everyone,
First of all, let me introduice myself. I just graduated as an IT-engineer and started working in a company who gives support to their users, but also does installations. One day a week I am permanent located with 1 customer. I give support to users, but also implement new systems. I really love networking, but it's really not my strongest point. Especcialy when it comes to CLI. So I was hoping you could help me.
With this customer they have 4 floors with on each floor a Cisco Aironet 1130AG. At the moment they are using WEP as a protection with a really long key. The users find this annoying, but I am more concerned about the security perspective. So I want to implement WPA2 with a shorter key for the people to remember. On one floor, I also want to add a public network when other people want to connect and just need internet access.
Is it possible you guys could help me change the current set-up and give advices regarding the security and implementation. For me I would be great if all of the Access Points could work togheter and just be 1 wireless network. I don't know if this is possible and how to do it? For the public network I know there also need to be some changes in VLAN's, so I would appreciate the help there for setting up trunks. The firewall is a cisco ASA5505.
At the moment I am running this configuration:
I tried setting up this with the GUI, but it doesn't look like the configuration at the moment is shown in the GUI or maybe I am just looking in the wrong places.
Thanks again for helping me configure this!! Much appreciated!

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.

Cisco Aironet ap1141n-e-k9 help configuration

Hi all,
i have just got a brand new aironet access point belonging to 1140 series (1141n-e-k9), it has been a while since i worked last time with cisco devices and i really need few help to configure this AP. (also useful link is appreciated)
I've an existing (wired) network with a dhcp server that provides IPs for the following class: 192.168.1.0/24 (default gw 192.168.1.254)
I would like to configure this new AP with ip 192.168.1.253 on gigabit ethernet while radio interface would have ip 192.168.2.1 and act as a dhcp server for following class: 192.168.2.0/24
Maybe it could be configured in another way but it's important for me to have client connected to ap in a subnet (i.e. 192.168.2.0/24) different from existing one (192.168.1.0/24), is it possible?
I read the manual with the title: "Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points" but i really can't figure out how to accomplish this simple(i guess) task.
Any help (links,tips or tricks) would be really appreciated (since my brain is about to blow up )
TIA,
Antonio

Hi Scott,
thanks for your answer and for links you provided , however i have a problem with that.
is it possible to find a solution for this problem internally to the AP? (sorry if my question would sound stupid)
atm i can't "put my hands" on the device the ap is connected to (it's a customer's requirement, unfortunately) and i don't know either if the switch would be a cisco device, is there a solution (maybe without vlan) to solve my problem?
since ap has an gigabitethernet interface and a radio one, couldn't i setup an ip belonging to class 192.168.1.0 to ethernet and an ip belonging to class 192.168.2.0 to radio dot11 and setup a bridge between this two interfaces?
thanks for your answer and your time,
Antonio

Configuring wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI

I'm not a newbie in linux but now faced with a trouble. I could not manage to set up the card properly. I just installed Arch 0.8 and it's not quite clear to me how to do this with Arch. I've read all available Arch's docs on this topic.
So my situation's the following:
I have the wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI and I've been using it with Slackware for a year. It works quite fine. But now, when I decided to move to Arch - I cannot set it up. My card's using `airo` module and it is loading well. All the present network devices are recognized. I can see this by ifconfig -a.
I have 2 NICs in my system:
1) simple Ethernet card - eth0. Is switched off in rc.conf
2) wireless. There are 2 different devices for it in my system: eth1 and wifi0 (and it's correct). I don't know why is it so and how about this with other wireless cards.
For example I placed here network configs from my Slackware which works well with them and expect your advice on how to do the same with Arch.
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
##IPADDR[0]="" #wired NIC is off
##NETMASK[0]=""
##USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
##DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

Thnx.

Excellent! It works! Thank U very much.
My conclusion - /etc/network-profiles/ is much more suitable way/place to set your wireless network parameters even it's quite steady.
And now I have a couple of extra questions:
1) What should I do with actual network parameters in rc.conf? Currently they looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
NET_PROFILES=(tier)
and that looks and works OK. What about gateway? Should I comment it here or not?
2)Though everything works fine now, I can see that wifi0 device is not listed by ifconfig now (only by iwconfig), but in my Slackware system it is. Don't have I to mention my wifi0 device in network profile's section:
#WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
Thnx!
And sorry for ugly English

but i am not able to access it, through web browser
i dont know how i connect wires so that i am able to access " AP access page" and also i forgot its IP address too so can u pls tell me how do i reset it to default

Your AP is most likely loaded with a controller-based IOS. You can easily convert this to autonomous IOS.

How to change default admin password on Cisco Aironet 1040

How do I change the default username and password on the Cisco Aironet 1040. There is a default set and I want to change that to secure the device. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find the directions. Any ideas?

Hi Brian,
If this AP is already registered with a WLC then you can change it via WLC.
In WLC GUI, go to Wireless -> Select the AP -> Credential -> Override Global Credential-> Update username/pw/enable pw
In WLC CLI, you can configure it like this. If it is for all APs, then select all, otherwise AP name.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username admin password Cisco123 secret Cisco123 ?
all Applies the configuration to every AP that does not have a specific user name.
Enter the name of the Cisco AP.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username password secret
(WLC3) >save config
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
If it is Autonomous AP you can configure using the "username xxxx password xxx" IOS command

Cisco Aironet 1300 QoS

Hello, I have 2 Cisco Aironet 1300 Bridges which provide data and voice communication between 2 buildings. Up until recently QoS has not been needed, but lately there appears to be congestion due to reports of poor voice quality. Building A houses a V3000 NBX Telephone system, Building B houses approximately 30 remote IP phones. Building A and Building B are approximately 100 yards apart. No VLAN's. Due to myself being an extreme noob to Cisco bridges, I was hoping some of you may have had experience in setting this up and hopefully provide some tips. I need to prioritize traffic on UDP ports 2093-2096 and TCP port 1040. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. My current running config is below:

Can I configure Cisco 1602i (AIR-CAP1602I-T-K9) in Standalone mode ?

Hi everybody, please, i need some help here.
I bought 3 Cisco 1602i (AIR-CAP1602I-T-K9) but I didn't bought a Controller. How can I configure then in Standalone mode ?
I Saw in other forums, i need to change the IOS Software to an Autonomous Software. They suggested the ap1g2-k9w7-tar.152-4.JA1.tar. I would like to know if it is the right software and if there is any problem with licensing if i download and use it.

Hi,
Yes you must need to change to autonomous mode.Yes it is the right software and you will not face any problem regarding license.
But for download the autonomous AP image from cisco you need a CCO (Cisco login) and valid service contract .
Here is the latest image:Can download from here

i have 2 cisco aironet 1300 series configured as root bridge and non root bridge, i managed to configure them and they are associating only when they adjacent , when i separate them them communication fail , could you please help me to solve this . thx

Those are very old bridges. So if they are still functioning okay, do they require external antennas or not and do you have external antennas if they do?

WPA2 configuration on Aironet 1042N

Just started at a new job and had three new Cisco Aironet 1042Ns thrown at me and asked to configure them. They are running the latest software; C1040 Software (C1140-K9W7-M), Version 12.4(25d)JA1. I had no issues configuring them with no security and with WEP, but would very much like to avoid this and configure WPA or better WPA2.
The settings for WPA under the web-based interface require a RADIUS server, which we do not have. Are there any instructions on the Cisco site (or elsewhere) that explain how to configure WPA2 for added security on a Aironet 1042N without using a RADIUS server for authentication? It just seems to me that these enterprise-level WAPs should be able to do the same as any of the commodity wireless APs and provide extra security.
Thanks in advance.

Try to reference this document for wpa v1 or v2 for preshared key. If you want to use AD, you need to implement a radius server. Start out with wpa2 psk first and then if you get that going, then try 802.1x. Requires the use of certificates on the radius.
