How to assign static ip to lightweight Access Point 1131AG before registering to controller

Hi,
I have Wireless LAN controller which is installed in corporate office , we have enabled H-reap so that remote office access point can be registered with corporate office controller.
Now i have one AP at one of the remote site now i want to give static IP address to AP through console that too , before registering controller.
I have got console with below name :
......MAC Address....>
but if i type any command to assign IP address , it shows the error " Command Disabled "
I have attached details for more calrification.
As I know that I can connect this AP to corporate office LAN and get registered with WLC and then through WLC GUI , i can assign static IP address but i need solution to assign static IP before getting registered to WLC.
I will be obliged if i get proper solution

How to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0

hi,
how to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0 i.e. 192.168.3.125 ipshold be persistantt across reboots. what steps do i need to follow to put all information including gateway,netmask etc..Also i want to integrate one init script ..can i integrate it using /etc/init.d/<service name> like linux. and do chkconfig on it?i am not getting complex procedure of SPF and FMRI etc..can u help me?

Create a file in your /etc directory called hostname.nge0. Add the hostname of your system to this file. In your /etc/hosts file, assign the static IP address you want to the same hostname. You can then disable and enable the network-physical service to configure the network interface:
svcadm disable network-physical
svcadm enable network-physical

Connection between lightweight access point and switch?

Hello everybody,
I am a bit confused about cisco 1000 series access point connection. On wireless lan controller and lightweight access point basic configuration example document id 69719 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_example09186a0080665cdf.shtml), I understood the access point has two vlans associated with (vlan 3 and 4). Am I correct?
Why is connection between access point and catalyst port just access port rather 802.1q trunk? How vlan traffic can traverse from the access point to controller?
Please advice.
Many thanks,
Nitass

Nitass,
The AP itself does not need to be a trunked port, but the uplink to the controller does. When using a Lightweight enviroment, all the traffic passes thru an encrypted LWAPP tunnel from the AP to the controller, and then gets sent out the correct VLAN interface on the controller.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?

Hello everyone,
We have an organization Wirless controller 2504 with 20 aironet access-point (700 series)
Once I defined all the access points I noticed that the transition between them is not working fine...
I mean that clients can not walk around in our organization without having to connect to any access point separately.
How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?
Thanks a lot (:

HI Omri,
which software version you have on WLC ?
Is the site survey done propely ?
Remember: It is the client that decides when to roam and which AP to connect to based on what it perceives the signal to be.
If your site survey design is perfect and still have problems while roaming then:
Disable your lower data rates on the 2.4ghz and or 5ghz radio and your clients will roam better. Try to disable everything below 11mbps. and give that a try.May be old device will work in this case.

Can you hard code the speed and duplex on lightweight access points

I have a client that want to set the spped and duplex on the switch port. Is there a way you can configure the fastethernet port on a lightweight access point for speed and duplex.

Try this step
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface fastethernet0
Enter configuration interface mode.
Step 3
speed {10 | 100 | auto}
Configure the Ethernet speed. Cisco recommends that you use auto, the default setting.
Step 4
duplex {auto | full | half}
Configure the duplex setting. Cisco recommends that you use auto, the default setting.
Step 5
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config

QOS config 4500 switchport for Lightweight access point

What is the best QOS configuration what needs to be applied on a 4500 switchport for Lightweight access point.

Hi,
If you are asking about Layer 2 QoS configuration for switch-port then it is global command, which will apply on all switch-ports, not for any specific switch-port.
As far as switch-port mode is concern which in connected to LWAP then yes it is better you keep it in default mode.

Is Cisco air-ap1230a a lightweight access point?

Is Cisco air-ap1230a a lightweight access point? Can it be use for the new CCNP training?
Thanks

Hi Bao,
The 1230 is not a Lightweight AP, but can be upgraded to LWAPP with the A Radio model listed below (Note that this model is EOS/EOL) this is probably not the best choice for your studies;
Solution Requirements
Migration from autonomous access point mode to lightweight mode is possible on these Cisco Aironet access point platforms:
All 1130AG access points
All 1240 AG access points
For all IOS-based 1200 series modular access point (1200/1220 Cisco IOS Software Upgrade, 1210 and **1230 AP**) platforms, it depends on the radio:
if 802.11G, MP21G and MP31G are supported
if 802.11A, RM21A and RM22A are supported
The 1200 series access points can be upgraded with any combination of supported radios: G only, A only, or both G and A.
All 1310 AG access points

How to assign Static IP via Terminal in Mountain Lion OSX?

I have formatted by Macbook Pro 13 inch (2009 Oct) running on Mountain Lion OSX. I am trying to install the OSX via Ethernet at office network but I am unable to do so due to network restrictions. Macbook Pro picks the IP automatically when connected over Ethernet.
In order to install the OSX over the same network I have to configure the Macbook to static IP (public netowork). Could you please guide me how to configure Static IP via Terminal? I mean the commands to feed in Terminal. Thanks!

First get a list of your network services:
networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Then use the desired service name in the following command:
networksetup -setmanual SERVICE IP SUBNET ROUTER
For example, by default the Wi-Fi connection will be called "Wi-Fi," so you can use the following to set it to a classic private IP address:
networksetup -setmanual Wi-Fi 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
To set it back to DHCP, use the following command:
networksetup -setdhcp SERVICE
To keep DHCP services but only use a manually designated IP address, then use the following command:
networksetup -setmanualwithdhcprouter SERVICE IP
You may need to preceede these commands with "sudo" (followed by a single space) to run them with administrative privileges.

How to tell which lightweight access point is offline?

I may be missing something really obvious here, but is there a coherent way to tell which access point has dissociated from a Cisco controller? For example - i have a controller here with many hundreds of access points being installed. If i have say 500 access points associated and i unplug a random one, the "all APs" in the controller summary will simply drop to 499 total, not 500 total, 499 up and 1 down as i would have expected - it's therefore a bit of a nightmare to trace a missing access point when the number suddenly drops below what i am expecting based on the number i know are physically installed.
Hope that makes sense!!! Appreciate any guidance you guys may have!

Several ways of doing this:
1. If you have a network monitoring tools like WCS/NCS/PI, then it is Cisco's preferred method. You can enable WCS/NCS/PI to email alerts (personally, I wouldn't recommend it).
2. WCS/NCS/PI uses SNMP to poll the different WLC in your network. You can craft your own to generate your own system (what we are doing now).

How to add a second router as access point and wifi signal extender

Previously I had 2 linksys routers and was able to configure them as one in separate areas of my house. I think it is called cascading. The 2nd router acted as an ethernet switch with 4 extra ports and it provided a wifi signal to areas of my house that previously had a weak signal when I used only one router.
I have since switched to an Airport Extreme as my main router. I can't seem to get the same configuration with the linksys router, it is Model E1000 and has an "N" signal. The Linksys E1000 I think is the newer model of the old WRT54G Linksys. I can't get it configured to work. I have searched high and low on the internet and can't find anything simple enough for a novice to understand. I did read something that I may have to assign a "DHCP Reservation" on the Apple Extreme. I couldn't figure that out.
Can somebody please offer some guidance on how to get this to work?
Thanks

You have two routers producing two networks with the same name, so they will show up as two networks on any type of scan by a wireless utility. This is normal.
If you had used two Linksys devices, they would probably show up as one network, not two. Linksys has a feature that allows this to occur, but this is not true of Apple devices.
As long as the wireless network name, wireless security and password match up between the two routers, the two networks will behave as if they were one. As computers change location, they will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal.

Static Routing vs. Access Point

I need helping in setting up my media center. I have the Dlink 520 in wireless mode. I have the linksys WRT300N. And I'd like to set up a static route to my wired network's resources. This device is hardcoded with 192.168.1.X and I need a static route to the 192.168.0.X network. Is there a way to do so, so that my media server will be seen by the server on that network. Please help.. I've looked at port forwarding and DMZ and they all have a hardcoded 192.168.1.X. Should I just set this device up as a access point, even though I have other wireless devices that benefit from DHCP. Please advise.
Thank you
Mr V.

If you connect the WRT in gateway mode through its internet port to the dlink, you don't have to define any static route on the WRT. The LAN behind the WRT is inaccessible then unless you define port forwardings on the WRT.
If you connect the WRT in router mode through its internet port to the netgear you also don't have to define a static route on the WRT. You must define a static route for the WRT subnet on the dlink. The WRT will just work correctly as it is. You may also have to define a static route on the dlink to forward packets for the WRT subnet to the WRT instead of the netgear.
If you setup the WRT as I have suggested you don't need static routes on the WRT either because the internet port is not used and thus there is no routing on the WRT.
So, whatever you want to do I cannot see any reason in your setup why you think you would have to set a static route on the WRT. You only need routing if the packets have to go one more hop. But the WRT has only two sides and those two sides are your complete LAN. There is nothing else there...
You cannot define a static route for the traffic from inside the WRT LAN to the outside simply because this is implicitly defined with the configuration of the internet and LAN interfaces.
I don't have another suggestion. I think I have listed the major reason why it is beneficial to set up the WRT as access point, mostly because you'll only have a single LAN subnet instead of two. Two subnets complicate many things. One of those things is file sharing across the router which may be related to your problems.
I suggest you try to set it up as I have suggested and we see how it goes...

How to configure MSI RG54SE II as Access Point ?

I have an msi router:
Firmware Version:
3.5.2 Build 070402 Rel.60023n
Hardware Version:
RG54SE II v1 081520C2
And i want it to configure it as an access point to a wireless network/ or another access point . Can you help me on how i do this ?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi. I Had a similar problem and found a solution. If you have another device as your primary router then:
1. connect ethernet cable from LAN port of your primary router to LAN port (NOT WAN!) of your RG54SE (I will just call it MSI).
2. go to web interface of MSI
3. if MSI has ip address in wan connection then release it. (Network->WAN) (I set my wan connection type to dynamic ip because there is no option to disable it)
4. in Network->LAN set ip address different from primary router (but in the same subnet) and out of DHCP pool
i.e. if your primary router has ip address 192.168.1.1 and its dhcp pool is 192.168.1.100-199 then you can set local ip address of MSI to 192.168.1.2
5. Disable DHCP on MSI router.
6. If your primary router also has active wi-fi then you must switch MSI wi-fi to another channel, so they do not interfere with each other.
that's it! It's simple and it works!

How do I purchase an autonomous 1260 access point?

There's a new IOS release (12.4.25d-JA) with support for the 1260 access point in autonomous mode. However, I haven't been able to find a part number for purchasing this combination. It appears to me that I would need to do the following:
Purchase a lightweight 1260 (part number AIR-LAP1262N-x-K9)
Purchase a support contract so that I have access to software updates
Download the IOS image that supports autonomous mode for the 1260 (ap3g1-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA.tar)
Replace the 1260's preinstalled lightweight IOS image by my downloaded image.
This seems unnecessarily inconvenient, as well as requiring the extra expense of a support contract. Am I correct in thinking that I would need to do this, or is it possible to order a 1260 that comes preconfigured with this autonomous image?

Hi,
I know this is off the original topic, but still. Since all indoor AP's like 1242, 1262 etc and outdoor AP like 1522 will have max transmit power of 17dbm or whatever the regulatory domain allows, what is the point in buying a 1522 for outdoor ? Cant i use the same 1242 with a protective NEMA enclosure and use the desired antenna with a 1242 instead of going for a 1522 ? Similarly if only 802.11abg is required, i guess the 1242 with its max power can provide as much coverage as any of the new 1262, 3502 etc ?
regards
Joe
