Looking for an Access Point with 2 Ethernet ports

Hi,
     I am looking for an AP with two ethernet ports. Is there any model of Cisco is available with 2 ethernet ports?
Regards,
Noman

pros:
If an access swich/switch port failed then AP still forward traffic through other switch once power restored through other port.
when PoE failed on its connected switch, it may still work via other port.
Having two ethernet port on AP may require to talk to different switches/stack to achieve AP port redundancy through lag or stateful switch over when cable/switch/AP port failure.
if one physical port become bad on AP, it can be still used with other.
(However, AP/physical port failure can be takencare at RF level using self healing.)
cons:
require additional switch and its config maintanece
currently, AP doesn't require 2 physical port for data transfer perspective.
Require x2 PoE ports.
Additional port increases the cost on AP.
it is possible cisco may make it in future.

  • Looking for an Access Point with 2 Ethernet ports and powered via PoE

    Hi Gurus,
    I am looking for an Access Point with 2 Ethernet ports and the access point can be powered via PoE. I have been assigned with a requirement where the rooms need to have access point as well as an Ethernet Cable provided from the Access Point as a backup for connectivity.
    The room only has one data cable coming from the main IT room as well does not have a spare power socket to power the Access Point. Will be good if it can be centrally controlled or controller based.
    Any recommendations?
    Regards
    J

    For the backup plan, the cheapest solution may be to just run a couple new cat5e drops to the room(est cost $250). If not then purchase a small Cisco POE switch for the room(est cost $2k). For wireless I would purchase a POE enabled Cisco AP. But you will need to verify the POE switch/blade you will be connecting the AP to can power the AP you buy. I got burned by that issue when we purchased some Cisco 1251 AP's with dual radios and they needed more power than our 4500 POE blades could handle. We were told we would need to purchase new 48 port 10/100/1000 blades or power injectors. Our Cisco sales vendor took the heat for that mistake.

  • API for setting Access points with PEAP programmatically

    Dear Godly developers,
    Would like to find out if there is any APIs for setting Access points with PEAP programmatically?
    Regards
    hAoZ

    Thanks for your response. We don't have the Wireless LAN Controller installed and have only configured directly through the AP's, which don't seem to have any configuration changes regarding Aironet IE's. Is there a config change that needs to be made just on the AP's? Or is the Wireless LAN Controller software necessary to make this change?
    Thanks again.

  • Is there any way I can control which specific access point I connect (and stay connected) to from amongst a set of access points with the same SSID?

    I'm working from a boat in a harbor in which the ISP has deployed numerous access points around the periphery.  All the access points share the same SSID and each is configured to use either channel 1, 6 or 11.   From my location, there are over a dozen of these access points "visible" (based on the the output of WiFi Scanner) with a range of RSSI and S/N values that vary over time.
    The ISP has told me that the quality of my connection should be "perfectly fine" for any access point with an RSSI value better than -75, but I know from experience that my connection quality is miserable (i.e. < 50Kbps download) for almost all of these, including those with RSSI values better than -75.  There is at least one exception, however, which gives me on the order of 2Mbps download, which is "great" in this context.
    I've tried using a more powerful USB antenna plugged into my MacBook Air (mid 2011), but as far as I can tell, it really doesn't make much difference.  Neither does my location within the boat.   The overriding factor seems to be which access point I happen to connect up to.
    I should point out that the closest access points are about 75 yards away, with many of them being several hundred yards away or more.  I'm guessing that even though the signal strength of some of the distant access points is causing them to get "chosen" some times, the results are unacceptable due to the distance.
    I'm hoping that I can determine, through experimentation, which access point(s) provide(s) acceptable performance and then configure my Mac to limit my connection to those points through whatever mechanism I need to use (e.g. channel, MAC id, etc.).

    Establishing a wireless connection with a client computer is left to the access point for various reasons. One reason that your Mac may not connect to the strongest access point is that it may have reached a limit of the number of clients it can serve, leaving it unable to accept a connection with another. The limit may not be very large.
    Suppose that happens, and your Mac establishes a connection with a more distant access point having a weaker signal. Then, suppose a client drops off the network. Doesn't this mean your Mac will switch to the stronger access point? Not necessarily. The throughput delivered to and from your Mac would have to drop below a threshold specified in the AP for it to drop the client, leaving your Mac free to connect with another one. The reason for this is to prevent rapid switching from one AP to another in an area in which two signals are of approximately equal quality. If that were to occur the frequent and repetitive handshaking between the two devices would slow throughput to zero.
    In an environment in which several access points are broadcasting the same SSID, Apple provides no insight as to how it determines which access point to choose. This is the reason I suspect this "choice" is a function of the router, or access point. The connection originates with it, not the Mac.
    Now, what would solve your dilemma would be to determine a way to control the access point with which your Mac connects, by specifying the access point's unique MAC address for example. In this happy circumstance, you could maintain an editable "whitelist" or "blacklist" of the harbor's access points and be able to choose which among them you prefer.
    I do not believe OS X maintains such a record of MAC addresses though, only those of the routers it uses. If I am correct about that, such a solution is unlikely to exist. Don't let that discourage you from searching for one though... I would concentrate on something like "selecting access point by specific MAC address".
    I did find this patent application though:

    Perhaps it's a start

  • Issue with cisco ONS 15310. Slot with Ethernet ports, designed for bridging.

    Hi, guys. I’ve got an issue with cisco ONS 15310 sdh optical network. I’ve got a special slot with Ethernet ports, designed for bridging. Assume, we’ve got to multiplexers, named A and B with ports A0 and B0 respectively. The ios console of these slots says, the configuration is as follows:
    no ip address set on these ports
    Ports are administratively up
    Auto mdix
    Bridge groups are the same on these ports.
    Dot1q tunnel.
    I’m trying to monitor a device with an ip-address connected to port B0. It answers ping if I connect the notebook directly to a device. But if I connect the notebook to port A0 and ping the device pluged in port B0 through the optical network, it doesn’t answer. I tried connections with straight and cross cable.
    Guys, who set the network said, it should work as a point to point bridge with no extra configuration. But it doesn’t. I used wireshark sniffer to lookup what’s happening on port A0. All I see is cdp-s from port A0 and self-announcements of the notebook.
    Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

  • Wi-Fi Access Point with B Channel or Wi-Fi with B Channel

    What does Wi- Fi with B channel or Wi-Fi Access point with B Channel mean. Can someone explain me. I am confused

    I don't know what your asking.  if your talking about 802.11b, that is a standard and you can compare the difference of 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and or 802.11ac. Wireless devices, that means client devices have to be able to support the standard that the access point is using.  So if an access point is 802.11b only, the wireless client device has to be able to support 802.11b.  If for example, the access point is 802.11b/g/a/n/ac, that means the client has to be able to support at least one of those standards to be able to connect.
    Just take a look at the standards,  here is a link to a quick comparison.

  • Question about using "dumb terminals" for multiple access points

    For both home and a small busniess setting I have been trying to find info about the possibility of using some form of dumb terminal to provide multimple acces points to a single computer rather than a network of multiple computers.
    I would like to use my LCD TVs, (which have AV and PC inputs) as monitors. I am going to purchase a new mac soon, and it seems it would make sense to spend more on 1 mac with more capability rather than 5 mac-minis (yes, I am trying to have 5 access points, with one one mac).
    I have CAT5 running to all the locations I want to use, I also have airport.
    For the most part I'm expecting only one user at a time, but occasional two. OS X is multi user, but can it support simultaneous users?
    I have searched the discussions/forums and some google searching. Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions. But, I can't imagine that I am the only person who has thought of this.
    If you have any thoughts or suggesting for further searching I would appreciate it. Thanks

    On each of these 'dumb terminals' I assume you are looking to access the complete Mac desktop from the central Mac?
    Unfortunately, this can't be done.
    In the past, the setup you describe first was used on mainframes where each end node was a dumb terminal. But it was just text.
    Next came X11 which does mostly what you are asking about, but each end node is basically a full computer in itself. You can remotely log into a central server and get a complete desktop session. This would take using a central computer that is running full X-Windows and then you'd need a PC running Linux, or running Windows and a X-Terminal package like Exceed or a Mac with X11 installed (not sure if you can make the Mac X11 do a full-blown desktop X session.) Note that as the central server, you'd need a computer running an OS with full-blown X-Windows (Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, etc.) -- OS X is UNIX but it doesn't run full X-Windows as its window manager.
    Finally, there is what are called 'thin clients' ... a good example is Sun Microsystems' SunRay... it's enough hardware on the client side to provide display, keyboard and mouse. They boot off a central Sun Solaris server and work just like X-Windows clients. The difference here is that the SunRay unit can't work on its own; it has no disk, and has to boot from the SunRay server.
    And of course there's Windows Terminal Services, which lets you do the same thing with Windows. I think that takes Windows Server edition software on the central computer, and then a regular PC as a client.
    Sounds like your only option is to use Mac minis as you suggest. But then there's no need for a central computer to share, obviously.

  • Poe for 1524 access points

    Hi,
    I had a basic question about PoE operation on 1524 ap's. They have two Poe ports; poe out and poe in.
    If the 1524 will be connected to a PoE supported switch like 3750, which port should the UTP cable be connected from 1524 towards the switch port, PoE OUT or PoE IN?
    lastly, if the 1524 is connected via UTP to a PoE supported switch, does it need power injectors.
    Appreciate all help.

    Hey,
    The access point supports an Ethernet uplink port (POE-In) and a downlink port (POE-Out). The access point's Ethernet uplink port uses an RJ-45 connector (with weatherproofing) to link the access point to the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, or 1000BASE-T network. The Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and to optionally supply inline 56-VDC power from the power injector. The minimum length of this cable must be not less than 10 feet (3 meters).
    The access point's downlink Ethernet port uses an RJ-45 connector (with weatherproofing) to provide LAN connectivity and IEEE 802.3af power to a peripheral customer device, such as a camera or sensor gateway. The BVI MAC addresses are printed on the label on the side of the access point
    To provide inline PoE, you must use the 1520 series power injector. Other power injectors, PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources cannot provide adequate power, which may cause the access point to malfunction and cause over-current conditions at the power source. You must ensure that the switch port connected to the access point has PoE turned off.
    Hope This Helps.

  • IOS to LWAPP for 1130AG Access Points

    We have initially installed IOS-based 1130 APs. If we would be upgrading it to LWAPP mode, could we pushed IOS-to-LWAPP upgrade thru the network? what procedures are required?

    Hi Leopoldo,
    This is possible and fully supported and can be done using the "LWAPP Upgrade Tool". Have a look at the following;
    LWAPP Upgrade Tool Troubleshoot Tips
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008072d9a1.shtml
    Access points must run Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA or later before you use the upgrade tool.
    System Requirements
    You can use the Autonomous to Lightweight Mode upgrade tool to install Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JX on these access points:
    All 1100 series access points containing MP21G (802.11g) radios
    ***All 1130, 1230, and 1240 series access points
    All modular 1200 series access points running Cisco IOS software and containing these supported radios:
    802.11g: MP21G, MP31G
    802.11a: AIR-RM21A-x-K9, AIR-RM22A-x-K9
    All 1300 series access points in access point mode
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/ios/release/notes/b311jx1.html
    Cisco has released a free tool called the "Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool" that allows selected Cisco Aironet autonomous access point models to be configured for lightweight mode operation.
    The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports the following models:
    Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series access points
    Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series access points
    Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access points that contain 802.11g (AIR-MP21G-x-K9) and/or second-generation 802.11a radios (AIR-RM21A-x-K9 or AIR-RM22A-x-K9)
    Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points
    **Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points that contain 802.11g radios (AIR-AP1121G-x-K9)
    Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Points/Bridges (AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 or AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R). A Cisco Aironet 1300 Series operating in Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) mode only operates as an access point. This series does not support LWAPP bridging mode.
    The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports a process to migrate an autonomous access point from autonomous mode to lightweight mode. Unlike a VxWorks to Cisco IOS Software upgrade, this process is a Cisco IOS Software upgrade to the existing Cisco IOS Software image-not an operating system "swapout". In converted access points operating in lightweight mode, Cisco IOS Software continues to run on the access point, while LWAPP is used to communicate with a wireless LAN controller. Since LWAPP supports automatic access point configuration, there is no need to retain or convert the original autonomous Cisco IOS Software access point configuration.

  • 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.

  • Looking for 12v car charger with AUX

    When my 1st Gen Touch met an untimely end, I bought a 2nd Gen, only to find that my Belkin auto adapter with AUX adapter wouldn't charge the new Touch.
    Any suggestions for alternatives? I'd seem some less than favorable reviews on the Apple Store site for the Kensington Liquid Aux.
    What I'm looking for:
    1) 12v adapter with AUX adapter.
    2) no mounting arms, as in the DLO TransDock Direct or Griffin Tuneflex Aux. Unfortunately, my car's AUX input (and the 12V adapter I'd use) is in the center console, under the armrest. Anything with a thick arm won't let the armrest close--and something like the TransDock Direct won't even fit inside.
    3) I'd like to avoid, if I can, anything with controls on the 12v adapter--again, it's inside the console, and I won't be able to access it.

  • Mimo access points with Static WEP security do not allow connection speeds above 54mbps

    I am getting this message:
    Access Connections - Mimo access points with Static WEP security do not allow connection speeds above 54mbps
    If I switch from WEP to WAP i do not get the message but I still only get 54mbps speed.  I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router.  Is there a setting that I am missing???

    Yes you need to use WPA-AES or WPA2-AES, or no encryption, to go faster than 54Mbps. This is part of the 802.11n spec.
    That's not so bad, because if you have the right 802.11n card and use the right settings you can go up to 300Mbps!
    What bites is that the 802.11n card which comes with X-Series ThinkPads is the Intel 4965AGN. It does not support the broader 802.11n 40MHz channel width option, limiting the top speed to 130Mbps .
    The new ThinkPads based on the Montevina/Centrino 2 platform will most likely use the Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 802.11n/WiMax cards, which I hope will fix this, coz I'm going to buy one!
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!
