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

  • Alert notification for down light weight access point?

    Hello! Is there a way to get a notification when a lightweight access point goes down? I recently introduced WiSM in my wireless LAN and keeping track of the access point status is a challenge.
    Thanks in advance!

    Good to know, I have that and just didn't see a need to install it yet since I have only two controllers. I thought still manageable. Anyway, if it will give me the notification then I will put in production ASAP.
    Thank you so much for all the reponses. :)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 to tell which lightweight access point is offline?

    I may be missing something really obvious here, but is there a coherent way to tell which access point has dissociated from a Cisco controller? For example - i have a controller here with many hundreds of access points being installed. If i have say 500 access points associated and i unplug a random one, the "all APs" in the controller summary will simply drop to 499 total, not 500 total, 499 up and 1 down as i would have expected - it's therefore a bit of a nightmare to trace a missing access point when the number suddenly drops below what i am expecting based on the number i know are physically installed.  
    Hope that makes sense!!! Appreciate any guidance you guys may have!

    Several ways of doing this:  
    1.  If you have a network monitoring tools like WCS/NCS/PI, then it is Cisco's preferred method.  You can enable WCS/NCS/PI to email alerts (personally, I wouldn't recommend it). 
    2.  WCS/NCS/PI uses SNMP to poll the different WLC in your network.  You can craft your own to generate your own system (what we are doing now).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SNMP lightweight access point connected to 4400

    I am trying to monitor 1250 ap's directly via snmp. Is it possible to consolidate the SNMP MIB of the 1250 ap's who are connected to 4400 controller running R 5.2.
    I am wondering if it's possible to monitor access points directly (not via wcs or controller) via snmp?
    Regards, Wim

    If the AP is in LWAPP mode, you cannot directly poll the AP using SNMP. You have to poll the controller to get all the information about the AP. You can download the MIBs for controller v5.2 form the URL below.

  • Convertion from Lightweight to Autonomous access points

    Is it possible to convert AIR-LAP1121G-E-K9 Lightweight access point to autonomous access point.

    Hi tm,
    You can convert AIR-LAP1121G-K-E9 to autonamus access point,pls do follow the procedur
    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.

  • Access Point Modes

    Dear Folks,
    As I have noticed multiple modes in a LWAPP, which is Monitor , Access Point, Sniffer etc. Could you please provide what all functions does it provide than an Access Point?
    Regards,
    Siddarth

    Hi Siddarth,
    Q. What are the different modes in which a lightweight access point (LAP) can operate?
    A. An LAP can operate in any of these modes:
    Local mode-This is the default mode of operation. When an LAP is placed into local mode, the AP spends 60 milliseconds on channels that it does not operate on every 180 seconds. During this time, the AP performs noise floor measurements, measures interference, and scans for IDS events.
    REAP mode-REAP mode enables an LAP to reside across a WAN link and still be able to communicate with the WLC and provide the functionality of a regular LAP. Currently, REAP mode is supported only on the 1030 LAPs. This functionality is included on a broader range of LAPs in the future.
    Monitor mode-Monitor mode is a feature designed to allow specified LWAPP-enabled APs to exclude themselves from handling data traffic between clients and the infrastructure. They instead act as dedicated sensors for location based services (LBS), rogue access point detection, and intrusion detection (IDS). When APs are in Monitor mode they cannot serve clients and continuously cycle through all configured channels listening to each channel for approximately 60 ms.
    Note: From the controller release 5.0, LWAPPs can also be configured in Location Optimized Monitor Mode (LOMM), which optimizes the monitoring and location calculation of RFID tags. For more information on this mode, refer to Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 5.0.
    Note: With controller release 5.2, the Location Optimized Monitor Mode (LOMM) section has been renamed Tracking Optimization, and the LOMM Enabled drop-down box has been renamed Enable Tracking Optimization.
    Note: For more information on how to configure Tracking Optimization, read the Optimizing RFID Tracking on Access Points section.
    Rogue detector mode-LAPs that operate in Rogue Detector mode monitor the rogue APs. They do not transmit or contain rogue APs. The idea is that the rogue detector should be able to see all the VLANs in the network since rogue APs can be connected to any of the VLANs in the network (thus we connect it to a trunk port). The switch sends all the rogue AP/Client MAC address lists to the Rogue Detector (RD). The RD then forwards those up to the WLC in order to compare with the MACs of clients that the WLC APs have heard over the air. If MACs match, then the WLC knows the rogue AP to which those clients are connected is on the wired network.
    Sniffer mode-An LWAPP that operates in Sniffer mode functions as a sniffer and captures and forwards all the packets on a particular channel to a remote machine that runs Airopeek. These packets contain information on timestamp, signal strength, packet size and so on. The Sniffer feature can be enabled only if you run Airopeek, which is a third-party network analyzer software that supports decoding of data packets.

  • N79: Cannot move Access Point into predefined grou...

    Hi there
    Hope somebody can help. I'm trying to move an access point, with the destinations feature, into the "Internet" group from the "Uncategorised" group, but when I select "Organise"->"Move to other dest." and then select "Internet" as the group I want to move the access point into, the program just shuts down, and the access point has not been moved.
    To access the "Destinations" feature. Go to Menu->Tools->Settings->Connection->Destinations. As far as I have understood, it's a new feature on S60 3rd edtion FP2 phones.
    I can move access points into custom groups, but not into the predefined ones, so is that a design decision or an error? And how do I get access points into one of the predefined groups if it's a design decision? I have tried to redownload settings from my provider, but that didn't help, as they just landed in the "Uncategorised" group.
    Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to provide.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am able to do this on my N96, which is also an S60 3rd ed. FP2 phone like the N79. Potential reasons for your inability to do this that come to mind are software bugs and operator branding (if you got your phone through an operator rather than SIM-free from an independent retailer).
    We can eliminate the former by performing a few different resets on the phone.
    Start by doing a restore factory default settings. Enter *#7780# from standby and supply your security code when prompted. The default is 12345. This won't delete any data of yours, it'll just clear your settings meaning that you'll have to set up your theme, ringtones etc. again, but that's all.
    Secondly, try a soft reset. This will reformat your phone's central memory, so back everything up on your phone before you do this or your contacts, messages etc. will be lost. Enter *#7370# from standby and supply the security code when prompted.
    If that doesn't work then you can attempt a firmware update either by FOTA or using NSU. Always follow the update up with a *#7780# since it seems to iron out many post-update problems.
    If the update doesn't change anything, or if there's no update available anyway, then you can always take the phone to a Nokia Care Point to see what they have to say, but at this point it looks like operator branding is responsible for this.

    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.
