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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

Here's the deal. I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router. My house has CAT5 throughout the house. The media panel is located in the garage. I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office.
Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)? Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment. AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers. they have to be wired to work.
There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):
Apple AirPort Networks
Designing AirPort Networks
AirPort Express Setup Guide
The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

Access point connection to WLC

Hi all,
I wanted to know that in Cisco wireless or in general, is it possible to connect lightweigt access point with controller without any wired connection ? or a ethernet connection between an AP and WLC is mandatory ???

What can't you find?
Reference to the Wireless LAN Controller not having a Wireless NIC? The documents won't list everything the product doesn't come with, it lists what it does come with.
This guide is helpful:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.4/configuration/guides/consolidated/b_cg74_CONSOLIDATED.pdf
It doesn't state that the Access Points can communicate with the WLC Wirelessly because they can't.

Have apple tv 2g and several IDevices (ipad, iphone..)and around the house i have several access point connect via UTP cable to the same router/modem, but when i try Airplay it wont work if the devices are on dif wifi conn. regardelless its the same LAN.

Problem with Homesharing/Airplay with dif IDevices (Itunes with a PC, Iphone, Ipad, Itouch etc) using my home wifi connections that has several access point throu out the house and they all are connected via UTP cable to the same modem/router (My LAN).
When i try to use airplay or homesharing both devices have to in the same ACCESS POINT (it does not mather if its WIRED or WIRELESS, i have the same problem with both).
Any ideas?? This did not happen before i upgraded ITUNES in order to use IOS5.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. But i dont have any devices sync wifi. It also happens with older versions of IOS on iphone 4.2.1 and 3.1.3 and also IOS5 (no wifi sync enable).
Basiclly when i try to airplay music using itunes (pc) to my apple tv 2g (4.3.3.) they both have to be in the same access point, if the apple tv is connect via UTP cable i have to be connected to that access point wifi. Basicly dosent work with dif access points. Also if i manage to be on the same access point (itunes using a pc and the apple tv) if i have to use Remote App to change songs i have to be in the access point to.. can not see the devices...
Any ideas?

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.

Router and access point connection

Tried to get smart today, took and set up my network with a wrt54gs the other day and still have some headaches after finally getting things to work. but my idea was to take my old wrt54g router and place it at the other end of my house for the wii system. I took the old router and changed the setting from gateway to router and gave it a new internal ip address. Everything worked fine, all the wired and wirless computers including the wii worked great, but when I went to my computer, where I installed the easylink program, it showed I changed networks. Do the setup crap again and it can not find the router but showed the old one as the new netork and could not connect, could not get internet or anything at this computer. But every other computer throughout the house was working great and connected to the net with no problem, the only one not connecting is the only one with easylink keeping it from connecting.
So I disconnect the added router/access point and had to run setup again with easy link, once it was up again I reconnect the old router and everything was great, showed the old as an access point and all the devices on the network. So things are great until I close my lid and my computer goes into standby, when I open it up I have the same problem again, but this time I know what to do, and I find as long as I keep this computer on all is great, shut it down all others equipment still works fine all except for the one computer with easylink on it.
Any ideas on to resolve this, I know people in the forums have said for a long time you can't use the two routers the way I have them set up, but it works great, the only problem is easylink keeps screwing me up on the one computer, if I moved the program to another computer it will do the same to that one and leave this one connecting just fine. So far my experience with easylink has been horrible, the only reason it was installed was because the box said it must be installed prior to anything else. before I just plugged things in and put in the settings I needed and life went on.

Hey,
I think you can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this:
Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer.
Check the file it should be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file.
Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
Go to administration tab there
Go to firmware update sub-tab there
Browse for the firmware image file and click update
When update completes turn off modem & router.
After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router & it will definately work!!!

Router and access point connected to FIOS router

Here's my situation. Just installed Verizon Fios which supplies their own Actiontec Wireless router. I have an existing network which comprises a WRTG54Gv6 which was connected to a DSL modem for internet access originally and a WAP54G accesss point as a Repeater to extend the network wirelessly. I have quite a few wired and wireless connection to this netwrok and wish to retain these devices. My question is, based on where I had to connect the new FIOS router(which is where the access point is) can I connect the WAP54 to the FIOS router(through a switch) and allow the combined WAP54/WRT54G network to still provide my network services and deactivate the wireless service from the FIOS router. How do I configure the FIOS router, the WRTG54 and the WAP54(if change neded).
Thanks in advanced if anyone can help.

Easiest way to configure the Verizon FIOS with Linksys is - Leave the Verizon FIOS unplugged from the Linksys Router and disconnect it's power cable.
1. Connect a computer to the Linksys Router it's Internet Port...
2. Access the web interface of the Linksys Router, change it's default address to 10.10.10.1 and leave it's DHCP Server Settings 'Enabled'. Once done you should Power cycle the Linksys Router.Don't change the Router Mode.
3.Connect Verizon FIOS from it's Ethernet Port to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port.
4. See if you can access the Internet...
You can also have a look at this link to connect two routers.However, both the router's used in the link are linksys routers but you can still follow the link.

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).
