New Aironet 600 AP vs 1140 AP

what is the difference betw two AP models? both work in dual band and work with WLC
they even look the same...

There are some significant differences which haven't been discussed.
1)     The AP600 has a tunnelled wired interface, the 1140 does not meaning you cannot connect wired deviced
2)     The AP600 required local power, the 1140 CAN be powered via PoE although this is unlikely to be used at home
3)     The AP600 has a 15 device hard lock. I'm not sure what the 1140 is but significantly more than this
4)     The AP600 can ONLY be used with a 5508 or WISMII,the 1140 can be used with a WISM, 4400 and some older WLC, However if configured as an external device you would need to use the 5508/wismII still, however you might like the flexiblity of the 1140 to use and re-use
5)     The 1140s get VERY hot underneath (where they should be mounted) whereas the AP600 does not
6)     The AP600 cannot be configured to Support ONLY WPA/TKIP + WPA2/AES. If you want this combination you MUST also enable WPA/AES and WPA2/TKIP which are not standards.
7)     The AP600 can only support 2 wireless SSIDs + 1 wired tunnel port. The 1140 can support 16 SSIDs
So these devices are really not like for like, but with these differences clearly explained you can make your own choice.
As we are now removing 1131s from our offices we regularly issue these for use in more permanent remote offices and these work extremely well where the faster N speeds aren't needed (Especially is the backhaul is ADSL).

Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

OfficeExtend with Aironet 600

Hello,
I need information about the Aironet 600 access point.
I got a customer who want to deploy a guest WLAN on branch office with an authentication with a captive portal that is centralized. I would like to use the OfficeExtend functionnality with Aironet 600 Acces point & WLC 5508 or 2504 to centralize the traffic from all access points on the controller.
On those branch offices, there were a few "free access desktops" that need a copper link. I want those devices to be also authenticated by captive portal, so I want to connect them on the four 10/100 port of the access point. But it seems that we can only use one port as "corporate remote LAN", the threee others are just for "home LAN". Is it correct ?
Is there any solution to configure the four ports as remote LAN interface ?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi, I'd actually go after HREAP instead of Office Extend. OE is designed for a home user, so you can plug in a phone, or one machine.
HREAP will give you centralized wireless for the guest with the webauth page, and can drop the local traffic to the wire as well.
For the wired guest, I would recommend using 802.1x with fallback to guest. Look here
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/12_4t11/ht_8021x.html
This allows the port to be put in a "Guest VLAN" that you can then direct to a authpage. This would require a tertiary device for the wired guests.
it may be more than you are really looking for, but IMO is the best answer to the situation.
HTH,
Steve

Aironet 600 Series Access Points

Hello all.
I am wanting to setup a wireless environment in my small chuch (obviously on a small budget ) and I was thinking about using 8 Aironet 600 APs with a 2504 controller. Does anyone see any problem with that? I am not looking to setup a secure tunnel/VPN anywhere, I just want wifi to be available for anyone on enterprise level equipment throughout the facility.
Thank you.
Jay

The AP 600's are for OfficeExtend and will not work for you. I would look at the AP 1602 or the lower end AP 702. Those will work for you.

Aironet 600 with Mac Filtering and a switch..

How does the Aironet 600 handle Mac Filtering if I were to connect a switch to port 4 on the back ("Secured" network port). Does it authenticate each MAC or does it do somthing similar to how 802.1x with multi-host works, the first mac authenticates and then the port's wide open? My use-case here is a printer at a remote home-office. The printer doesn't have a supplicant in it so I need to use mac filtering. Thanks.

MAC authentication is all I use for my OutStationed workers. No wifi, just the rlan. Since the rlan is configured for DHCP only, no IP gets passed until MAC auth occurs.
When Cisco packaged this up, they said 4 is enough.. IF you use an un-managed (non-cisco) switch.
I had a need for 2 workstations and 2 digiports.. SOP sys a managed switch.. oops. the switch consumed 2 MAC's right off the top.. 1 for itself and 1 for each vlan.
After enablilng 2 rlans, and configuring a pair on different networks, we discovered that they were bridged in the 602 (or somewhere).
We ended up switching out the 602 for an ASA5505

Manage new Aironet 1130 with web browser

Hello,
I bought a wi-fi Aironet 1130AG, I plug it in my network, it gets an IP address with my DHCP server but I can not manage it with my internet browser, "Internet Explorer can not display this page ". Wifi terminal responds to ping.
Thank you for your help.

When you recieve brand new AP you should be able to console into it.
Just to evaluate what you really have we need to have console output :
May be the IOS image is corrupted for example.
If after checking the console and making sure that nothing wrong , i would say re-image the AP using console session.
check the following link for more information on how to download ios image to the AP:

Aironet 600 AP interruptions

Hi All,
Fairly new to the Office-Extend arena, but I have two Air602 OEAP units for testing. Overall functionality is great but I do have one slight annoyance.
While i'm connected to the "Corp" ssid, the one pushed from my WLC, it will occasionally drop my connection. My Wireless NIC will sit there and sent ARP broadcasts and get no response, this lasts for about 30-60 seconds and then everything will reconnect like nothing happened.
This is only an issue on my Office Extend AP, my LWAPP in the office dont do this to me. I have verified that the problem is not linked to just my PC. I have another laptop that I tried at home and got the same behviour.
I did a packet capture during the "silent" period and i see my wireless adapter sending packets, but getting no responses. The controller doesn't see the Ap disconnecting nor do my clients disassociate or see the SSID disappear.
I've verified it's not my internet connection at my home because I had a client on the "local" SSID on the AP as well as the "Corp" SSID, the corp ssid client lost connection while the local SSID client maintained internet access without any interruption.
My 5508 WLC is on my "internal" network behind an ASA running 8.4(3). I thought maybe the firewall was an issue so I tried another non-Cisco firewall as well and got the same behavior.
WLC: Cisco 5508 7.2.103.0
AP Info:
Inventory Information
AP Type     CAPWAP
AP Model     AIR-OEAP602I-A-K9
OS Version     5.22.84.6
I dont see an OS upgrade available under CCO downloads for the AP. Any ideas where I should start to look for this?. Thanks.

I'm seeing a similar issue running the 7.3.101.0 code. However, it's only happening (or being reported) for mac users. And it can go well beyond 30-60 seconds. It can go on indefinitely sometimes until I disconnect and reconnect to the SSID. My SSID does show connected, but similar to your experience, no arp responses from the default gateway. I did a packet capture to see this. Interestingly, not long after starting the capture I see some EAPOL packets come in and suddenly it starts working. So would seem that 802.1x is blocking the port and for some reason I'm not re-authenticating. I tried disabling session time out, but that didn't solve it.
Here's the packet trace where it's not working then suddenly starts working:

Aironet 600 OEAP

Hi all,
may i ask if the AP is able to configure 2 public ip address of the DMZ-WLCs?
like ip 1.1.1.1 in my US data center, whereas a second ip 2.2.2.2 in my EU data center?

When you configure the AP manually there is only 1 WAN IP address for the controller. So I dont think you can until it joins the controller.

Cisco Aironet ap1141n-e-k9 help configuration

Hi all,
i have just got a brand new aironet access point belonging to 1140 series (1141n-e-k9), it has been a while since i worked last time with cisco devices and i really need few help to configure this AP. (also useful link is appreciated)
I've an existing (wired) network with a dhcp server that provides IPs for the following class: 192.168.1.0/24 (default gw 192.168.1.254)
I would like to configure this new AP with ip 192.168.1.253 on gigabit ethernet while radio interface would have ip 192.168.2.1 and act as a dhcp server for following class: 192.168.2.0/24
Maybe it could be configured in another way but it's important for me to have client connected to ap in a subnet (i.e. 192.168.2.0/24) different from existing one (192.168.1.0/24), is it possible?
I read the manual with the title: "Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points" but i really can't figure out how to accomplish this simple(i guess) task.
Any help (links,tips or tricks) would be really appreciated (since my brain is about to blow up )
TIA,
Antonio

Hi Scott,
thanks for your answer and for links you provided , however i have a problem with that.
is it possible to find a solution for this problem internally to the AP? (sorry if my question would sound stupid)
atm i can't "put my hands" on the device the ap is connected to (it's a customer's requirement, unfortunately) and i don't know either if the switch would be a cisco device, is there a solution (maybe without vlan) to solve my problem?
since ap has an gigabitethernet interface and a radio one, couldn't i setup an ip belonging to class 192.168.1.0 to ethernet and an ip belonging to class 192.168.2.0 to radio dot11 and setup a bridge between this two interfaces?
thanks for your answer and your time,
Antonio

1140 Initial setup

Gurus,
I'm trying to configure some new Aironet 1140's. After I plugged them into my switch, I can see in my DHCP server that they are pulling an IP address, but I can't log into the device via http. The documentation only mentions management through a LAN wireless controller. Is this, in fact, the only way the AP can be configured?
Thanks,
-Michael

You can convert your AP from lightweight to autonomous.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp161272
I have several 1130 ap's that have been very solid for me, but I want to start implementing some wireless-n. What AP is similar to the 1130 (i.e., non-lightweight) but also does wireless N?
There are only two APs that support 802.11n: 1250 and the 1140. The 1130 is superseded by the 1140.

From the [custom painting tutotial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/index.html]:
Most of the standard Swing components have their look and feel implemented by separate "UI Delegate" objects. The invocation of super.paintComponent(g) passes the graphics context off to the component's UI delegate, which paints the panel's background. For a closer look at this process, see the section entitled "Painting and the UI Delegate" in the aforementioned SDN article.

Aironet 1140N in mixed mode not working with 802.11b/g Clients

I have a new Aironet 1140N Access point , the model is number AIR-AP1142N-A-K9, my main problem in that i have Nokia E71 smartphones on the network, but they cannot connect to the Network, the Access Point SSID is not showing on the List of Available Devices if i Scan using the Phone,
All Laptops are runing Win 7 Pro and they connect quite ok, The phones (8 of them) at HotSpots connects without problems, the Spec says they are compatible with 802.11b/g and the Aironet Access point provides 802.11a/g/n.
Since the phone has the 802.11g which is compatible with the Access Point, why cant it Pick it? the Access Point is Operating in Mixed Mode.

There are basically two "flavors" of WDS that the AirPorts support: static & dynamic.
o A static WDS allows for a main, relay, and remote base stations in the configuration. This only operates in the 802.11g radio mode. Its advantage is it is well suited when you are trying to cover a considerable linear range ... like a rectangular house where the Internet connection comes in at one of the shorter sides and you want wireless at the other end. The biggest disadvantage of this type of WDS is that for every base station added, you lose half the overall bandwidth.
o A dynamic WDS allows for only a single main and multiple remotes. Think of a wheel with the main at the center and the remotes as spokes of the wheel. The advantage of this type of WDS is it operates in the 802.11n radio mode and doesn't suffer a significant bandwidth loss like the static version.
As a minimum, a dynamic WDS requires two 802.11n AirPorts (or Time Capsules). You can create a static WDS with either all 802.11g AirPorts or a mix of 802.11n & 802.11g AirPorts. Note; however, you cannot create a dynamic WDS with mixed mode base stations.

Using Aironet AP as wireless monitor

Hello,
we have purchased a couple of new Aironet APs for our office:
AIR-AP1262N-E-K9
My objective is to use some of these as wireless monitors to scan the vicinity and to report the SSIDs and RSSI values of all detected APs.
Basically something similar to the Linux command: "iwlist wlan0 scan".
Periodically, I would like to transmit the scanning results to a central server (e.g. via SNMP) for monitoring the whole network area.
How can I achieve this?
Are there built-in commands in the IOS to do this?
Or can I use Tcl scripts to perform this task?
Any other ideas?
I have worked with Cisco routers and switches before but I am new to wireless devices. So any advice and idea is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
Kind regards
Daniel

I have found an interesting command for the antenna alignment:
“During the antenna alignment test, the radio disassociates from its parent, probes adjacent access points, and records the MAC address and signal strength of responses it receives. [...] You display the last 10 results using the show dot11 antenna-alignment command, which lists the MAC address and signal level for the access points that responded to the probe”
This would be exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately, it is not possible to activate this as described in the user manual:
AP#dot11 dot11radio 0 antenna-alignment
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
AP#show dot11 antenna-alignment
No data, antenna-alignment command not run
The device is set to Access Point mode. Current firmware version is "C1260 Software (AP3G1-K9W7-M), Version 12.4(25d)JA1".
Does anybody have an idea why this command does not exist in this firmware? Does it only work with specific mode settings? Or might a firmware update to 15.2.2 help?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

New Touchsmart Missing Blanking Plate, Need Help

My new Touchsmart 600-1200T just arrived, but it is missing a left side panel cover. It does not have the tuner option, so there should be a blanking panel there. No panel is present and there is just an empty space. HP support was unable to figure out a part number and their only suggestion was to return it. I was unable to identify the part on partsurfer.hp.com.. Any ideas?

I agree with the previous poster - please upload a photo if you can. If there is something missing on this configure-to-order system, best we know as soon as possible, to figure out what happened in manufacturing, to fix you, and to prevent this from happening again. If you want to send me your serial # and contact information in a forum email (not a forum posting) - I can have someone follow up on this.

Hi Obinna,
Sorry about the link :( The problem here is the fact that 12.3.(11)JX is a Lightweight image. Have a look;
Warning: All Cisco Aironet Access Points receiving Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(11)JX will only function in conjunction with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. They will no longer be able to function as Cisco Aironet Autonomous Access Points.
This product bulletin describes the content and delivery information for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(11)JX. This is a Cisco Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) upgrade and recovery support software image supporting Cisco Aironet 1100, Aironet 1130, Aironet 1200, Aironet 1230 AG, Aironet 1240 AG, and Aironet 1300 Series Access Points.

You can use this method to convert the AP back to Autonomous Mode (and access via Web);
Reverting the Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp161272
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.
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
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 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, and c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point.
Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 5 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 6 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 7 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 8 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 9 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.
