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.

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.

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

Shuting down an lightweight access point

We setup an access point at a remote location as a test. We would now like to remotely shut it down. Is there a way of shutting down an access point (lightweight) remotely to free up its AP license off of our controller?
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Hi,
1 - If you have remote access to local switch to whom your access-point (POE) is connected, just shutdown that port, by this way you can power-off the access-point.
2 - As far as AP license off is concern
If you have licensed DTLS image on your controller then AP license off of controller can be achieve by disabling the DTLS of the specific AP by controller.
you can enable or disable DTLS data encryption for a specific access point or for all access points using the config ap link-encryption {enable | disable} {Cisco_AP | all} command

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.

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

Managing Lightweight Access Points in Ciscoworks LMS 4.0

Hello,
Is it possible to manage Lightweight Access Points in Ciscoworks LMS 4.0?
Regards,
Henk van Gruijthuijsen

Only autonomous AP's are supported for inventory as yjdabear mentions above. LWAPP AP's cannot be managed or inventoried in LMS

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.

License for Monitor Access Point

Dear Friends,
I have a 5508 controller with 200 access points . I have additional 10 access points to be used as Monitor Mode, as this will be connected to the MSSE. Question here is does the monitor access points requires licenses to configure on the controller or does IPS license of 25 AP's is enough for MSE.
I think for these 10 Monitor Access Points, we need to have licenses for the controller as well as MSE license for the access point. Am I right in this assumption?
BR,
Sid

Hi Sid,
the license on the WLC is for "joined APs" whatever is their role. So monitor mode APs count the same as other APs.

Nicolas

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.

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.

Mail for Exchange - Access Point question

Hello,
When setting up Mail for Exchange, you need to input the Access Point. I cannot find an option to select "Ask for Access Point" or something along that line.
I use wireless access points and when I go from one spot to another I have to change my settings just to sync.
Does anyone know of an option, if not how could I file for a feature request?

The specific problem can be resolved. How did you hard reset your phone? You should hard reset your phone (some key combination which I cannot remember, press four keys simultaneously). Then format mass memory. Reinstall the firmware. Otherwise let Nokia Care reflash your phone. I had issues with freezes when I hung up a call, but that was resolved when Nokia Care reflashed my phone.
My phone is currently broken, so I cannot help you further.

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

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.
