Connecting Access point through wireless

Hi there can anybody guide me whether i can connect one cisco access point though wired connection. and rest of the access points will be aquiring the ip address from the wired connected access point without using any wired connectivity? Is it possible if yes how can i implement that and how feasible it is?
Please i am in urgent need. Thanks in advance

An Access Point is designed to only pass traffic for WIRELESS clients ONLY. It will not pass traffic for wired clients that are communicating to a bridge, (unless it is a Working Group bridge.)

  • Bridge to bridge and bridge to access-point via wireless is it possible.

    here;s my topology i am trying to configure. i have a router whose ethernet is connected to a bridge.this bridge 1 is connected to a bridge 2 via wireless. now i am trying to connect a access-point via wireless to this bridge2. is it possible for bridge 2 to support connectivity to the bridge1 and the access-point both of them via wireless.
    can someone pls help me on this.
    waiting for someone to reply.
    regards

    You can set up each radio in the access point for different functionality. Considering the scenario, this can be done by setting up the SSID for the G radio and another SSID for the A radio. Then, set the role in the radio network parameter for the G radio to access point and for the A radio to the root bridge role.
    ou can prevent unauthorized users from reconfiguring your access point/bridge and viewing configuration information. Typically, you want network administrators to have access to the access point/bridge while you restrict access to users who connect through a terminal or workstation from within the local network.
    To prevent unauthorized access to your access point/bridge, you should configure one of these security features:
    Username and password pairs, which are locally stored on the access point/bridge. These pairs authenticate each user before that user can access the access point/bridge. You can also assign a specific privilege level (read only or read/write) to each username and password pair.

  • Indirectly Connected Access points

    Hi all, i'm just after a little clarification.
    According to the Cisco 3850 QA sheet, (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps12686/qa_c67-722110.html), this unit does not support indirectly connected AP's.
    Q.
    Does the Cisco Catalyst 3850 support indirectly connected access points?
    A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch will always terminate the CAPWAP tunnel locally. Pass-through mode or indirectly connected access point is not supported at this time.
    What doesnt make sense to me is that i can buy 50 AP licenses per switch/wlc so i don't understand how i am going to attach these AP's to the 3850.
    In our current setup we have a 5508 connected to a Cat4506 with all the AP's connected to an "AP vlan" on the Cat4506 - fairly typical setup i imagine.
    We couldnt have each AP connected directly to the 3850 do to cabling and multiple buildings.
    Any clarification would be appreciated,
    Cheers,

    the asnwer to that is a bit farther down.
    Q.
    How is the access point count license managed across a Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack?
    A. The total access point count license of a Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack is equal to the sum of all the individual member access point count licenses, up to a maximum of 50 access points. When new members are added to the stack, the total access point count license of the stack is automatically recalculated. When members are removed from the stack, the access point count license does not decrement until a reload of the stack.
    teh 3850 is designed to have AP's terminate in the closets vs coming all the way back to the core.
    HTH,

  • Cannot determine MAC address of connected Access Point using Access Connections version 5

    I recently installed the newst version of Access Connections (version 5) and discovered I am unable to determine the MAC address of the connected access point.  The 'Graphical' screen shows the SSID, IP address of client etc - but does not show the MAC address of the access point.  The 'Details' screen shows the MAC address of the access points - but the radial button on the left does not indicate the cfurrently associated access point.

    Is it the switch where the node is directly connected ?
    Is the NIC at node side, working fine ?
    Another fact to consider is, a mac will wipe itself out after the MAC-age timeout.

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to create wired access point on wireless network?

    Bit of an odd situation. I just went from cable to DSL at home and the modem moved from right by my computer to upstairs.
    Trouble is, there's no real easy way to get a cable from the modem upstairs to my X-box (sans wireless connector) downstairs.
    I could buy the wireless adaptor for the X-Box, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend any more money.
    I have my airport extreme, and I was hoping I could use it to create a wired access point on the network, recieving the signal from the wireless modem upstairs and allowing me to plug in the X-Box.
    Is this possible? If so, how? I've been through the config panel about a dozen times, but can't figure out what combination to set up.
    Thanks.

    Will it work if I use the express to create the network?
    Yes, providing that you have an 802.11n version of the AirPort Express and the Express has been configured to "Allow this network to be extended".
    Then, the AirPort Extreme can be configured to "extend" the Express network. When you do this, the AirPort Extreme will provide more wireless coverage and the LAN Ethernet ports are enabled, so you can connect an Ethernet device.
    This will not be a "normal" Ethernet connection. It will only work as well as the wireless "hop" between the Express and Extreme allow.
    For best results and performance, a wired connection through the hole in the wall is always best. If you decide to do this, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port on the device. But, you could try wireless first to see if it will meet your goals before you reach for the tools.

  • Report on Airport Utility when connecting Access Points to Airport Extreme

    I have a plan to upgrade my Access Points for a better bandwidth of speed rate of wireless connection in my local connection.
    There are the lasted model of Airport Extreme, and 2* Airport Express. Both of the Airport Express are connecting to Extreme by CAT5E.
    The speed transfer will always be limited at 100Mbps, due to the limitation of Ethernet port in Airport Express.
    The question is, if I replace Airport Express with other brands that support up to 600Mbps with USB support for printer, what would it be reported in Airport Utility.
    Would I still be able to manage as an Acces Point through the Utility, and use it for printing server.

    Mmmm, if you replace those expresses with 3'rd party routers, you may run into some issues there.

  • 2 Access Points Same Wireless Network

    ok the basics: I have a cable modem hooked up to a linksys router ... the signal does not cover the whole house, so I got a linksys range expander ... set the whole thing up and everything works nice ... except that my PB keeps picking up the weak signal from the main router and doesnt connect to the range expander ... they both have the same security settings and all and they even appear as the same wireless network ... any thoughts on how to make my PB connect to the access point with the best signal?

    I don't think that was the question posed. The issue is not how do I increase a particular access point's range, or can I dispense with one of them.
    The issue is how to best work with TWO access points on the SAME network. I am very interested in this issue, as I have not been able to get my system to work properly. In short, there is an Airport Express (access point only) in the upstairs family room, and a Motorola (router and access point) in the basement. For those of us who own the new PB's, it is a lost cause to get reception comparable to the iBooks. Literally hundreds of posts exist in this area trying to improve it. So the ability to automatically connect to the highest reception point is a great benefit.
    I have a unique IP address to each access point, and the Airport Express is tied to the Motorola router through ethernet. I have tried both devices on the same wireless channel, and each on its own (1 and 11). I have also tried using the same SSID & password for each point, and giving them unique names. In all situations, the result is the same. Once the Mac is connected to a particular access point, it will never switch over to the other one, unless connectivity is completely lost to the first one (i.e. unplug the AE).
    This does not meet the 'roaming' idea. The goal is that when I am upstairs, I automaticallly connect to the AE, as it is strongest. When I move downstairs, it should connect to the Motorola, as the signal strength is SIGNIFICANTLY increased (we are running a PB, here). But this never happens. Instead, the PB will choke on internet browsing, because it is connecting to the gateway through a very weak wireless signal upstairs, when an alternate strong one is right next to it !!
    Doesn't matter if I sleep in between relocating. All settings are automatic; that is, the Airport will automatically connect to the available networks. What I have to do is click the airport signal meter and choose my access point in order to change.
    For those who think this is all acceptable performance, I don't have to do this with my HP work laptop. Windows does not seem to have a problem with proper, correct, and optimized roaming.

  • RV325 Router: Adding a wireless access point for wireless printer

    Hi all,
    I am trying to add a Linksys ea6350 wireless router to the RV 325 router with the goal of having a wireless printer on the network. I can connect wirelessly to the router and access the internet; PC's that are on the wireless router can find the printer and print. However, PCs that connected to the RV via LAN cannot. I am assuming that this has to do with how the traffic from the wireless router is handled and that basically at the moment both routers are functioning as two separate networks. 
    Is this something that can be remedied from the Cisco router side? Or the Linksys? Or Both?
    Thank you

    Hi Jow, it sounds like you have this EA router connecting through the WAN port going in to your RV router, that would make the most sense because it would NAT your connection, allowing you to wirelessly connect but your LAN connection to the RV325 not working.
    If you want to fix this, move your connect from the EA router on to a "LAN port", disable the DHCP server then make sure it is on the same IP subnet as the RV325  and just let it broadcast the wireless signal. The EA router LAN ports are normal switch port so it will work ok.

  • Upgrading controllers and access points through NCS

    I am currently trying to upgrade all of my controllers and access points to the newest version.  I have downloaded the file and loaded it on the ftp server running on the Cisco NCS server.  I tried to go to configure>controllers and Download Software(ftp) and go.  I setup the schedule and it says failure.  The details say %Error:Code file transfer failed - Connection Timeout.  Sorry if this is a basic thing that I am missing.  I have tried using an internal ftp server as well and it errors out also.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It is setup with NCS Prime running 4 WiSM blades and 3 WiSM 2 blades in 6509 chassis.  I am going in through NCS and doing configure controllers and download software(ftp) from the select a command dropdown.  When I setup it up this way I have to select schedule unless I want it to automatically download and reboot the controllers, which I was trying to avoid so that I could do it during the day.  It just keeps timing out on the download portion. 

  • E5 Packet data connection/access point

    I was just wondering what this is.
    I think I don't need it being as I don't have a "Data Package" set up with AT&T...am I right?
    If I'm wrong, what to do next.

    This would be needed for internet access and mms usage on your phone. Internett access only if you're thinking about surfing on the network. Wlan does not require any data packet connection over the phone network but will be saved as an access point though.
    You will also need a packet data connection for using A-gps as it needs a few kb to locate the phone through the network.
    But you can use the gps without agps.
    So if you don't plan on browsing internett on the phone network, you don't need a packet data connection for that/ acces point.
    If you don't need to send mms, you don't need one for that either, but those acces points are separeted from each others.
    If you can not send mms, but you want to, you will probably be able to order the settings (accesspoint) from your providers web page. It will usually be in form of a text message sent to your phone. Same for the other access points.
    Did this help you in any way or was it just confusing?
    A Packet data connection will pretty much be an access point for internet/mms/wap over your network.
    Using you wlan will be installed as a access point too, but that will of course be free (or just cost what you pay to have your internett).

    Hi Peera,
    the first message is because the user switched quickly between SSIDs. This is a behavior that WLC blocks by default.
    Change the option "Fast SSID change" to enabled if you want to stop that blocking.
    The second message simply means that the client was not configured for wpa/wpa2 ... This is something I can hardly comment on since I can't see the client configuration

  • Connecting ACCESS point

    guys i have a cable broadband installed in my home i just bought cisco 1200 series access point...now can someone please guide me how to configure my access point.....i beleive i have to plugged fastethernet cable coming out of my cable modem to access point after that???? what i have to do ....do ihve to configure the cable modem as wlel or not??? many thanks

    The first question is whether or not you need the AP to do NAT? If you were to have used a Linksys or other switch+ap with built in nat/router then you would already be covered.
    To answer this question, does your provider give you a registered or unregistered address? If they give you an unregistered address, then you do not need nat. However, most providers only give out one address for home users. If that is the case, you will need to use NAT and DHCP on the AP to allow multiple machines access.
    The best thing to do is configure the AP with an IP address and then connect to the web interface to complete the config.
    Start here for guides as to how to configure the AP.

    You might also need a crossover cable from the modem to the AP.

  • Display MAC (media access control) address of connected access point.

    Hi all! Sorry if this is already posted somewhere but I tried searching and was having difficulty because of the word MAC having multiple meanings here.
    Anyways I want to be able to view the MAC (media access control) address of the access point I am connected to. Is this possible? I can't find it in System Preferences. Is there a terminal command that would allow me to see it? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm looking at it right now. In the top portion, next to the active graph, it has the SSID of my access point. In the table beneath that, my access point is the first on the list, and the MAC address is clearly visible.
    Second if I click on my access point in the list, the MAC address appears, temporarily at the bottom of the window.
    For comparison, in the iStumbler preferences, on the AirPort tab, I have only "Auto-Select Best Network" & "Keep on Top" selected.
