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

Cisco AIR-1141-E-k9 access points

Hi,
Facing an issue with 1141. Not sure if it is from AP or from the Laptops!
Problem is when some users are trying to connect their laptops to wireless it shows Limited connectivity and didnt take an IP address. But with some users its obsolutly working fine.
I'm facing this issue only at one of the site. We have other sites working fine without any interruptions.
Checked the security:
Using WPA/TKIP

AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 access point

hi,
can any one help me to configure AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 as standalone acess point.
its a new one with default setting as per my knowledege its a controller based access point so pls help how to convert into standalone access point and which image is compatible with that.

Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
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.
Note In some LWAPP deployments, the LWAPP controller resides between the access points and the rest of the network. In this topology, all traffic must cross over the controller before communication with network resources, such as a TFTP server, can occur. When converting back to non-LWAPP IOS with an access point that is no longer using the LWAPP protocol, traffic does not cross over the controller to reach the TFTP server.
Note The lightweight 1300 series access points can only be converted back to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller.
Using a Wireless LAN Controller to Return to a Previous Release
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller:
Step 1 Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated.
Step 2 Enter this command:
config ap tftp-downgrade tftp-server-ip-address filename access-point-name
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
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 Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds.
Step 4 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View; then uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types check box.
Step 5 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, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
Step 6 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 7 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 8 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 9 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 10 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 11 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

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

Managing Lightweight Access Points in Ciscoworks LMS 4.0

Hello,
Is it possible to manage Lightweight Access Points in Ciscoworks LMS 4.0?

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 add and configure a new AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 Access Point to a AIR-WLC4402-12-K9 WLAN controller

Thanks alot, that helped me .....
what about option 43..i am using one wlc and the switch where wlac and APs are connected is playing the role of dhcp server used by APs as there is a dhcp pool configured. please advise. will the command be
option 43 hex (f104xxxxxxxxxxxx) f104 adding to it the management ip address of the wlac in hexadecimal.
if the ip address is 192.168.10.5 then the command will be
option 43 hex f104c0a80a05
please correct me if i am wrong!!!!

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.

Cisco WLC 2125 and AIR-LAP1252AG-A-K9 access points

We are running into a little issue here and looking for some help. We have the Controller configured and it appears to be working properly the issue we are running into is that we can only get the above mentioned access points to only join the controller if they are plugged directly into the controller. I would assume that we should be able to plug these access points into any of our switches and they should be able to join the controller correct? Obviously there has to be a configuration issue somewhere and am hoping someone can point us in the right direction.

WAP to Switch - Access port
WLC to Switch - dot1Q trunk on the switch and tagged on the WLC side

Lightweight access-point joined the wireless controller but no radio channels

a customer wireless controller 2106 he use access-point AIR-LAP1252G-E-K9 the access point the leds indicate
etherner and radio is blinking green and status is green.
please help i am in the customer company now

The AP1252 has higher power requirements than some of the Cisco PoE switches provide. Depending on the switch you are plugging them into you will get enough power to power up the device and connect to a controller but not enough to power up the antennas. Options that can work include:
1) Removing one of the antennas if you are not gonig to use it (or as a temporary workaround to get some wireless)
2) Using an external power supply
3) Using an external inline power appliance system that supplies enough power (http://www.microsemi.com/powerdsine/ is one example).
4) Depending on the type of switch you are connecting to you may be able to upgrade code to provide a higher amount of power to the port. For instance, a Catalyst 6500 by default supplies 15.8 watts of power to a port. But if you upgrade the code to 12.2(33)SXH2? I believe you can get 16.8 watts of power and this is enough to bring up both antennas on the AP. But even then you don't have enuf power to run the upper N speeds - I think anything above 72 Mbps is unattainable.
Other AP models such as the 1140 have lower power requirements and may work better for you.

Regarding cisco 1400 and 1500 outdoor access point doubt

Hi,
I have a requirement of installing 1400 outdoor access point in bridge mode .
client has got three remote offices which will be connected through 1400 outdoor access point.
but i came across about lightweight and autonomous version where i am quite confused.
which version is available in market especially for 1400
If i could get information about 1500 also , it would be great help .
If i want to connect all the remote offices in brigde mode . which will be convinient for me ?
If I could get any link with datasheet for both the access point seperately, it would be great.

Hi,
1500 is for MESH network.. 1400 is for bridging in autonomous mode.. most of the time we use 1400 for bridging between two diffrent sites..
1400 bridges do not work in LWAPP mode.. its always Autonomous.. where in the 1500 canot work in autonomous as well and needs a WLC..
here is the datasheets for 1400 and 1500..

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

Help required to implement Cisco 2504 WLC and 1042 Access Points

Hi,
My name is Vidya Sagar. I am new to Wireless technology. We are planning to implement Wireless in our office. I have given the requirements below. Kindly go through the details and let me know how to start.
We have purchased Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller (One) and Ciscon 1042 Access Points (Five). At present I am going to use 3 access points only.
I have attached a simple diagram of our office network. We have more than 30 VLANs configured in Core Switch, we are planning to give wifi access to only 3 VLANs.
1. VLAN 121 ( IP Segment - 10.52.121.0 /24)
2. VLAN 116 ( IP Segment - 10.52.116.0 /24)
3. VLAN 100 ( IP Segment - 192.168.100.0 /24) (Guest)
Please give me a implementation plan to do this. I would like to use LDAP or ACS for authentication purpose.
Regards,
Vidya Sagar

Lets just do this simple first before you start using ACS as that will require a certificate installed on the ACS for using PEAP.
So first off, the WLC we will say is in vlan 10. When you are going through the startup wizard, make sure you define the vlan tag to 10 on the management interface. Make sure your virtual interface is an IP address that is not routed in your network, like an out of band IP.
Make sure the WLC time is correct or use NTP!!!!
Now you should be able to http or https to the WLC. I would upgrade the code to v7.4 and install the FUS image. Please reference this link for the upgrade procedure. You don't have to upgrade now... I would wait till you get everything working first.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn74.html
Now I would connect the APs on the same vlan as the WLC for now. Make sure there is dhcp on that subnet. Once the APs have joined, then you can move them to any subnet you want. Since you don't have many APs it would be okay to leave them in the same vlan as the WLC management or out them on any other vlan you choose. The APs will be connected to an access port NOT a trunk port!!!!
The WLC will need to be connected on a dot1q trunk port only allowing vlans 10,100,116,121. The 2504 running v7.4 will support LAG (etherchannel). Any ways, your switch port should look like this for example only
Interface gigabit1/0/1
description WLC2504
switch port trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchoort mode trunk
switch trunk allowed vlans 10,100,116,121
spanning-tree portfast trunk
channel-mode group 10 mode on << only for v7.4 if you use lag
Don't connect all four ports right now, just port one!!!!
Your Guest vlan, you will need to create an ACL to block traffic from accessing the internal network. You might want to allow dhcp and DNS bit I would leave it open first until you can verify everything is working.
Now on the WLC you need to create a dynamic interface for vlan 100, 116, and 121. If you click on the Controller tab in the GUI and click on interfaces on the left hand side, that will take you to where you can add/delete/modify your interfaces. When creating these interfaces, make sure you add the dhcp server IP address for the primary and or backup.
Now that you have your dynamic interfaces created, its time I create your SSID. Now click on the WLAN tab on the GUI and click on WLAN and then on the too right select Create New and then click go. Select WLAN on the drop down menu and then for the profile name I would use the SSID name also for simplicity.lean e the WLAN id to 1 for this and 2 for the next and so on. After defining these and clicking Apply you can now define your SSID. On the General tab, enable the status and leave the radio policy to all for now, you can decide later what you want to use. Choose your interface you wan to place this SSID on and enable Broadcast SSID for now and leave everything else alone. Now click on the Security tab and on the layer 2 Security, leave it at WPA + WPA2, only check WPA2 Policy and for WPA2 encryption choose AES only. Now go to the bottom of that screen and choose PSk. We will do pre shared key for now so you get to understand the setup and make sure everything is working first. Now on the PSK format, choose ASCII and put your pre shared key in the input box. Make this simple to for testing. You don't want to put in symbols or anything like that. When you are don with that, check apply on the top right and test.
Now you can repeat this with your other SSIDs just to test. Your guest network you can leave open for now to test open authentication.
