Make SSID Hidden Aironet 1260

                   We have three Access Points, two Cisco Aironet 1260 and one 1240AG. Originally, the SSID was hidden on all three AP's and users had to go to Other Networks and type in the SSID and password to access the WAN. About a few months ago, the network started broadcasting to the public. I am trying to make the SSID hidden again, any suggestions? I have tried going to the Security tab, choosing the  SSID Manager and setting single guest mode to none but it has not helped. Any suggestions? I have researched this a lot. If you are confused on my situation ask me questions.

Amjad,
The SSID is based on the company I work for so I think it is safe to rule out other people with the same SSID. We are in a building with a few companies.
I did not get a chance to try your method yet because the AP's are hanging from the ceiling and I think I need to download something to change the CLI. I manage at the AP configs off of their IP addresses all the time.
I got the SSID to remain hidden now which forces me to connect to it through other networks and knowing the SSID in advance. This what I was trying to figure out. Here's what I changed.
On the http AP interface I clicked Security, SSIA Manager, then I went down to Client Authentication Key Management and changed WPA to WPAv2.
I had the encryption set to WPA2 on two of the AP's but the third one is an older model and only can do WPA. Hopefully, I finally fixed this.

  • Can't make buttons hidden in normal state.

    I've been reading the boards about how to make buttons hidden in the normal state and that all you have to do is turn the opacity down to 0, but that doesn't seem to be working for me.  The buttons (such as the triangle or solid line built in to DVDSP) just turn grey.
    Is there something I am missing?
    Please advise.

    Hi, I have a new CISCO AIRONET 1260
    I have CISCO ACS 5.1 radius for VPN on ASA and tried to configure an NDG on it for AIRONET 1260 too and worked fine with IEEE 802.1x CISCO EAP-FAST authentication
    As I had some trouble to let users to authenticate only on VPN if are VPN users and only on CISCO AIRONET if need only WIFI AIRONET
    I tried exception policies rules but something not working. VPN was ok but not WIFI access denied for rule policy access
    I decided to install CISCO ACS 4.x on Windows 2003 that is on ACS 5 DVD
    I created NDG as done on ACS 5 put a shared secret , put on AIRONET too as done for ACS 5 but I receive an error against ACS 4.x
    To troubleshout it I tried

    I searched log inside ACS 4 and found "Invalid message authenticator in EAP request" and I found this:

  • Aironet 1260 as bridges

    Is it possible to create a wireless site to site link using 1260 access points as bridges (like the 1300 series)?
    Also if so, can you use 11n channel bonding on the bridge link?
    I need to link 2 buildings together wirelessly approximately 70 metres apart.  There is direct line of sight between them.

    Are you using autonomous APs? or controller-based APs?
    Never tested but I don't think there will be any issue connecting them as a bridge eitherway with or without channel bonding.
    It all depends on your antennas gain and type.
    If you have directional antennas with LOS cleared it will be very good. It still depends on the antenna's gain however.
    You may try them wi h1260 APs. I don't unfortunately have 1260 APs to test with.

  • Aironet 1260 and external Antenna

    I know you can put a minimum of 3 AIR-ANT-2422 antenna on the 1261 AP but my question is, can you mix and match antenna?
    Currently there is an AIR-ANT-24120 used on an older 1200 model. Upgrading to a 1261. The 24120 is 12db and 2422 is 2.4db.
    Environment is Manufacturing floor with 30' ceilings, worried about coverage. Can the 24120 work on the 1261 or am I stuck with the 2422s?
    Thanks

    You can't mix-and-match these two.  AIR-ANT-24120 is a 12 dBi antenna.  The 1260 will not support anything higher than 6 dBi because this model simply doesn't have enough power to do so.
    The 1260, 3500e and 3600e doesn't have enough power because in the past people kept complaining that the 1250 needed 20.0w PoE power.  Now the the 1250 doesn't have any limitation about the maximum (maybe it does but I haven't seen or heard of it) gain support.  So Cisco cranked down the power requirement of the new WAPs and balanced it to the antenna gain.

  • Aironet 1260 AP

    I wanted to ask if I was looking to deploy a 1260 access point, would I need to replace the 4400 WLC with a 5500 or will the access point work with a 4400?

    Hi Marcus,
    The AP 1260 is supported only after WLC software version 7.0 and it is supported on 4400 as well but we need t orun 7.0 and above software release..

  • Cannot connect to second SSID on Aironet 1231

    Hi,
    I have configure my AP with to SSID (11 & 12), but I cannot connect to 12. It authenticates, and while trying to acquire IP address from 12, it fails and connects me to 11 (if I have already saved the SSID connection).
    The following is my AP status:
    Product/Model Number:
    AIR-AP1231G-A-K9
    System Software Filename:
    c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEE
    System Software Version:
    12.3(8)JEE
    Bootloader Version:
    12.3(2)JA4
    The SSID 12 already have 4 clients connected, And I am tring to connect a 5th one (smart phone), but cannot connect to 12, instead coneected to 11. Also tried with a laptop, but cant get the IP address, and give Limited Connectivity error.
    How can i fix this issue.

    I have tested with a client already connected, by disconnecting and reconnecting.
    Its just normal on that device, I have also disconnected all, and connected my device, it fails to connect; its mentioned as disabled when we scan for the AP.
    This is really every strange, that only some are connected and will be connected, but rest will never ever connect.
    Do I have to reset to factory and reconfigure the device.
    Thanks

  • Configuration of cisco aironet 1260 series access point..??

    i hv a cisco aironet 1262n access point and a normal router(without wlan)  with a broadband connection
    now i want to use my access point as a wifi hotspot 
    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 make group visble and hidden

    I have to make one group(which consists of some field) visible and hidden on tableselect. Initially that group should not visible and after selecting table those group need to show. How to make it during runtime..Right now i made the table leadselect -1 so it is not selected. So how to make it hidden.
    Thnaks
    Nitya

    Use a calculated attribute (read-only, type=Visibility) and implement the get-method like
    WDVisibility getGroupVisibility(...)
      return wdContext.node<TableDataSource>.getLeadSelection() == IWDNode.NO_SELECTION
        ? WDVisibility.NONE : WDVisibilty.VISIBLE;
    Bind the "visible" property of the group to this attribute.

  • How to make HIDDEN application ??

    I am going to use it to send messages from server to client and not vice-versa..
    anyone have idea ??
    Thanks in advance..

    You can use the JTray API (Java System Tray API For
    Windows) that can be found at http://www.JavaAPIs.com.
    It supports several image types, animation, and
    display of AWT and Swing Components as pop-ups.I always find it rather annoying when people scour past posts to promote a product that they have a vested interest in.
    Especially when they don't point out that that they have such an interest.
    Especially when they don't point out that the interest is monetary.
    Especially when they do nothing but post ads - never actually answering a single question.
    Just me I suppose.

  • Make hidden files invisible again

    Recently I had remote support (Teamviewer) from a software company, and as a result all the previously hidden files are visible (grey), and are cluttering up my file folders. I no longer wish to deal with that company. Can someone tell me the Terminal command line that makes those hidden files invisible again?
    Thanks,
    Klaus

    Open the Terminal and type the following:
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 0
    After doing this, log out and then log back in, or otherwise quit and relaunch the Finder.

  • Apple TV unable to connect to hidden network

    In have a new third generation AppleTV.  My router is set ordinarily not to broadcast the SSID.  Despite many attempts to enter the details manually, my AppleTV is unable to connect to the router whilst the SSID is hidden.  Once I change the settings on the router to broadcast the SSID, the Apple TV connects and all is fine.  I have tried restarting both the router and the AppleTV, which makes no difference.  All other Apple devices are fine with the SSID hidden.  Any ideas please? 

    That is a pretty common issue when selecting to hide your SSID.  The solution is to not hide it.  That is not really giving you any real extra security anyway.  If you really feel you need extra security just enable MAC address filtering.  That plus encryption will keep out anyone that is trying to brute force their way in.
