Using a Cisco RV180W with wired LAN

Hello everyone!
I have a small client with a pair of RV180W's. They wish to create one large wireless area where users can walk around from the area around one 'router' to the other without needing to reset their wireless connection on their mobile device. Logically the client wishes to setup a WDS repeater. Except, the building the client is in, is very old and made from materials that will block the 2.4GHz microwave signal once a user exits one room and enters another room. (Obviously the APs are in totally opposite ends of the building, and can hardly detect the presence of their sister access points.)
There is lots of cat-5 between the rooms and the client thought what they might do is run their data over the wire between the two APs using the 'LAN' ports on each AP for the backbone communication. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to make such a scenario work, I've looked high and low and cannot find anything on this (besides the implication in some documentation that what my client wants is impossible).
I did set the two APs up, as stand alone access points (one AP, call it the primary, connects to the Internet via the 'WAN' interface, there is a backbone link on a 'LAN' interface to the secondary AP which connects to the same wire on one of it's 'LAN' interfaces.) Of course as I noted before if a user walks from the room with the primary to the room with the secondary the user needs to establish a new connection although, by design, the SSIDs and passphrase are the same. This design is unacceptable to the client and they... well they are hopping angry that they cannot get what they think ought to be really easy.
What I'd like to know is:
1. Is what the client is asking for possible with the hardware they have?
2. Can I do it with additional equipment? I'm looking at the Cisco 2500 Series Wireless controller or possibly a Virtual Wireless Controller? (Given that the client is blaming me for the fact that it doesn't work -hey I was handed the device and told to make it work, I had no say in what hardware was bought-, whatever additional stuff I tell them they need to buy needs to a. work, and b. be cheap.)
3. Any other thoughts, or comments?
Thanks!

Thanks Ganesh!!
So... basically it's just what I'm doing now but instead of using
ip nat inside source static udp 10.10.10.10 53 dialer 0 53
I will need to use:
ip nat inside source static udp 10.10.10.10 53 123.123.123.123 53 extendable
ip nat inside source static udp 10.10.10.11 53 123.123.123.124 53 extendable
I have also in the mean time been told on the Bind mailing list that Bind will accept transmissions like this as I thought the the decapsulation and re-encapsulation of the router would cause a problem with the software!
So looks like all is good now :-)

Kaya

  • Can cisco CAP2702i connect to Cisco3850 switch with wireless LAN controller license via another switch ?

    If i connect cisco AP - CAP2702i to another switch, and use trunk port between Cisco3850 and the other switch , can the AP able to register with Cisco3850 with wireless LAN controller  ?   or the AP has to directly connect to Cisco3850 in order to register?

    The AP and 3850 wireless management are in same Vlan( vlan202). The AP is new unit and did not join MC before. 
    What i did on 3850 :
    input command - wireless management interface vlan 202
                              - ap cdp
                              - wireless mobility controller
    Is there any config i miss out on 3850 and any config need to be set on AP ?
    From Ap console output show me "could not discover WLC using dhcp ip". Is it due to AP dont have IP address? If AP register with WLC through layer 2 , i believe there is no related with IP.Correct me if i'm wrong.
    Due to the 3850 is not a POE, the AP unable directly connect to 3850  . I guess have to use power adapter to power on the AP.

  • Sync with USB or UTP/wired-LAN?

    Hi,
    I'm seriously considering to buy an AppleTV. Now, the only question is concerning how the movies being sync into the Apple TV.
    I'm running a PC with WinXP and do not have wireless devices. I see that AppleTV has a USB port and also an Etnernet port for wired LAN. Can I connect the Apple TV to my PC via either the USB or the Ethernet port and then sync (or copy) the movies to Apple TV?
    If not, then I may need also to buy a wireless adapter for my PC. It will be on additional cost.

    Can I connect the
    Apple TV to my PC via either the USB or the Ethernet
    port and then sync (or copy) the movies to Apple TV?
    Yes using Ethernet; no using USB.

  • Can i use the airport express in my hotel with wired connection?

    I'm going to be traveling quite a bit coming up and staying in hotels with wired internet connections in the room.  Can i use the airport express to connect with the hotel's internet connection and then my ipad and/or iphone 4S?  I'm new to Apple products so will certainly appreciate any info that may help.  Thank you!

    You will need to have AirPort Utility installed on the iPad and/or iPhone. It is free on the App Store
    App Store - AirPort Utility
    Connect the AirPort Express 802.11n to the hotel Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable
    Power up the AirPort Express and wait 40-45 seconds
    Tap Settings, then tap Wi-Fi on the iPad
    Tap the AirPort Express under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station
    AirPort Utility will take a moment to to analyze the connection and then you can proceed with the easy guided setup
    Once the AirPort Express is configured, you should not have to set it up again at the next hotel. But, you could if you want to.

  • Good external HD? Also, problems with wired TM use?

    I have a multi part question here:
    I recently got a new MBP and I want to get an external hard drive to use with Time Machine. Is there any sort of consensus on which external hard drives generally work well? I have a 500 GB Western Digital MyBook that has been a constant source of problems. I frequently am unable to eject it and have had to use Disk Utility many times just to get my (old Powerbook G4) computer to see it. I really don't want to get another WD product. Are there any consistently good products out there?
    Also, I've just been perusing this forum. I see many people suffering with Snow Leopard and TM using wireless backup. Have there also been many problems with wired backups? I don't use wireless at home, which is where I will keep my TM backups.
    Finally, I move my computer around a lot so I won't have it plugged into its TM drive most of the time. I plan on plugging it in each evening before I go to sleep. Is that an appropriate method of using TM?

    Pondini wrote:
    That's why I'd recommend backing-up more often, but if you don't, another app may be better.
    CCC or SD are most often used to make full "bootable clones." When your hard drive fails (and
    they all do, sooner or later), you can boot and run from them immediately; with TM, you need to
    have the disk replaced (or have another external) to restore your system to.
    If anyone is going to take action based on the advice above (or other suggestions) they will need to recognize there is a different set of risks.
    When you make a clone of a machine you end up with a clone and you can boot from it.
    If you then make a fresh clone a day later you really need to have a different disk around or you are taking a lot of risk. The process of creating the new clone might fail. If it does and you do not have a second drive then you have lost the previous clone while creating the newer clone. In other words you have no backup.
    You really should have a series of disk drives so you can put a few good ones on the shelf while making a new copy. You might want to think about where you store them.
    Even when using TM you have to think about what will happen if the TM device fails.
    Conclusion?
    Some people do not make backups.
    Some people store only files they think are critical on a server in a cloud (like leaving emails on the Google server for gmail).
    Some make a back up to TM under the assumption they are really protecting against a failure with their computer but not a fire or other site wide problem.
    Some will use TM for backups and still use CC or similar to make a clone every so often. The failure states can vary so incremental backups make sense for some problems and a bootable close covers some other risks.
    If a person is really worried then a series of backups are needed with off-site storage for some or all of backups. That way the computer's data is protected from a local problems and from a site wide problem.
    Each person can choose what they want to do, what they afford and how they will contain or reduce the risks. Maybe not all risks are worth dealing with. Just think it through before you commit to a solution.

  • Can i use a cisco RE1000 range extender with airport extreme

    Can I use a Cisco R1000 range extender with airport extreme?

    Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that will only work with other Apple routers.
    As far as we know, devices from other manufacturers are not compatible with this feature.
    Bottom line....It would be extremely unlikely that this would work, but it's worth a try if you already have the products in hand.
    Please post on your results.

  • Can I use the Airport Express only with a LAN connection?

    Because I want to connect my macbook (+ all other hardware) via WLAN with my Speedport Router. Which is connect via LAN cable with the Airport Express. Can I then deactivate the WLAN function in the Airport software?
    When I try this, I can configure the setup. This works till a restart, after that I cannot find the Airport Express. Already I connect the macbook with the LAN-cable it works again.

    look that
    so i have connected my components.
    i only want to deactivate the WLAN in the Airport Configuration. if i connected in this way it works without problems. after restart i cannot find the airport express.

  • Too many errors after upgrading the firmware to 1.0.3.10 on Cisco RV180W wireless router

    My company purchased one Cisco RV180W wireless router few days ago and it worked normal with default firmware version of 1.0.0.30. Today I upgraded the firmware to version 1.0.3.10, the users can still access this router via wired and wireless devices, but on the dashboard I observed two major problems, one is the CPU utilization always shows 100%, another is the more and more errors appearing, on the Syslog Summary panel "Error" log has been up to 625 and is still increasing, there is one message repeatedly displaying in the log, see in below:
    Wed Nov 13 13:55:25 2013(GMT+0800) [rv180w][System][PLATFORM] /pfrm2.0/bin/bwLimitConfig /tmp/system.db 18 dot11STA 100 failed. status=-1
    Who can tell me what does this error message mean and how to elinate this error message ?  also how to deal with 100% CPU utilization ?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    i have been looking at different VPN routers over the last few weeks and i was very close to buying the RV180W, but then i stumbled across many posts reffering to firmware issues, one issue is that the cpu sits at 100% useage, i just wondered if this is a bug in GUI or is the CPU actually max'd out? has anyone had any resolution into this?
    also the firmware on the emulator is a newer version than is listed on the support page, does anyone know when 1.0.3.14 will be released for download?
    when i buy a new product i like to ensure that the system is fully upto date before its put into use but i obviously dont want to add any performance issues from the ofset due to the CPU useage.
    i also have a could of questions if anyone can help
    the Ipsec VPN, will this work with the Built-in VPN client for apple devices? (New IOS7), i am unable to find a quickvpn application for apple IOS.
    is the site-to-site IPSec VPN also compatible with the Cisco Wvrs4400n router?
    thanks in advance.

  • E4200V2 slow wired LAN speeds

    Set up my new E4200V2 last night, everything appeared to be working but while streaming videos over wired LAN I get short hiccups over wired. While streaming videos, a few second long pause is really, distracting, this is a deal breaker and my previous router (DIR-655) had no issue streaming any videos. The wiring has not changed, only the router.
    So onward to trying to lock down the problem.
    I set up a ping between two wired linux boxes, and get:
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=65 ttl=64 time=0.184 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=66 ttl=64 time=0.180 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=67 ttl=64 time=0.566 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=67 ttl=64 time=10.52 ms
    Whoa, 10 ms over gigabit LAN. This is crazy, but doesn't tell us much. The 10 ms was one out of hundreds of pings, so its only intermittant. This might explain the hiccups, but this router doesn't appear to log anything, so its hard to say.
    Next was scp transfers, which never exceed 15MB/s, in either direction. For gigabit, wired LAN this is awful, with my previous DIR-655 I would get at the very least 40 MB/s, in all situations.
    Next up, iperf. I set up iperf on the two hosts, and iperf reports reasonable gigabit speeds
    3] local 192.168.0.5 port 48303 connected with 192.168.0.3 port 5001
    [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
    [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.10 GBytes 941 Mbits/sec
    and on the iperf server:
    4] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.10 GBytes 940 Mbits/sec
    I have tried the following solutions:
    Firmware: its the newest firmware, as of last night (Feb 14) 2.0.36 build 126507 2011-12-23 01:39  
    MTU - I adjusted this to 1400, 1492, 1450, set to auto, no difference
    QoS - I enabled this as someone reported QoS being off would throttle certain transfers, no difference
    I added both the MAC addresses of the two linux boxes as High Priority in QoS, no difference
    I'm running out of things to try. Tonight I am thinking of reverting to an old firmware, doing a hard reset and seeing if it persists, and if no ideas come up in this forum, it is getting returned, 15MB/s over gigabit lan is terribly broken.
    Any ideas?
    Xian

    Try these troubleshooting steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Then click on security and disable the SPI firewall.
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
    Hope it will help you.
    Second, you can reduce the speed of the LAN card as well. 
    Here is the step:
    START--> right-click My Network Places and click Properties
    right-click on the device and click properties
    Click on the CONFIGURE button
    Select the ADVANCED tab and the settings you can alter are listed on the left.
    Try to make the LAN speed to manual speed.

  • Unable to see Shared Folder / Drop Box on wired LAN

    I am unable to connect to another Mac on my wired LAN (Netgear wndr3700), and it is unable to connect to my machine. We cannot see each others’ Public Folder / Drop Box.
    We can see each others Macs in the Shared section of the Finder’s sidebar, but trying to connect fails: “The server … may not exist or it is unavailable at this time…”
    Both are running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard SL. No Windows machines on the LAN - so this should be AFP only.
    We can see and connect to another Mac running 10.4.11 Tiger with no problem. BUT it is unable to connect to either 10.6.4 machine.
    Firewall on both machines: On; File Sharing (AFP) set to “Allow incoming connections”; Stealth mode Enabled (toggling doesn’t change); “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” is Off; “Block all incoming connections” is Off. Some other apps and services are set to Block… (krb5kdc, numbed, smbd…) AppleFileServer is set to Allow.
    Sharing: File Sharing Service only is On:
    Hard Drive - Everyone - Read & Write
    Users - Everyone - Read Only
    ~ (My Home Directory) - Everyone - Read Only
    Public - Everyone - Read & Write
    Drop Box - Everyone - Write only
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    It isn't directly related to the firewall, I'm having the same problem between two up to date machines, and to be sure, I have disabled the firewall on both. however, If i connect using the connect to server dialogue, I get through just fine. I believe it could be a dns resolution problem.
    strike that.
    Just tested, check in advanced network settings, and if you have any wins servers listed, remove them.
    krb5kdc needs to be allowed to accept connections, for me it popped up in little snitch when it was authenticating.

  • How can I get my wired LAN to share my iMac's wireless internet connection

    Hi. (sorry for the long-winded posting below. I really struggled to explain what I'm trying to do, but would really appreciate any help from people who can recognise what I'm aiming for!)
    I've seen several postings about sharing internet connection, but none (I think) which sort my problem.
    I have a wired LAN with 3 Macs connected to a router, and the router to a cable modem and the internet. All working fine. All Macs have internet access.
    I'm considering ditching my broadband provider, and so looking for a replacement configuration, at least for the short term.
    So, I'd like to change the arrangement, connecting one of the Macs to the internet (through a local free WIFI hotspot) using it's airport card (that bit is done) and enable the other two Macs to share that connection via the router.
    I've turned internet sharing on, and share connection from Built-In ethernet, on the internet connected Mac. But whatever
    Has anyone got this setup working?
    PB
    Intel iMac 4,1 (early 2006)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1Gb SDRAM, 2GHz

    You can share a connection through the router or you can share a connection from the Mac via Internet Sharing, but you can't share an already shared connection.

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to create wired access point on wireless network?

    Bit of an odd situation. I just went from cable to DSL at home and the modem moved from right by my computer to upstairs.
    Trouble is, there's no real easy way to get a cable from the modem upstairs to my X-box (sans wireless connector) downstairs.
    I could buy the wireless adaptor for the X-Box, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend any more money.
    I have my airport extreme, and I was hoping I could use it to create a wired access point on the network, recieving the signal from the wireless modem upstairs and allowing me to plug in the X-Box.
    Is this possible? If so, how? I've been through the config panel about a dozen times, but can't figure out what combination to set up.
    Thanks.

    Will it work if I use the express to create the network?
    Yes, providing that you have an 802.11n version of the AirPort Express and the Express has been configured to "Allow this network to be extended".
    Then, the AirPort Extreme can be configured to "extend" the Express network. When you do this, the AirPort Extreme will provide more wireless coverage and the LAN Ethernet ports are enabled, so you can connect an Ethernet device.
    This will not be a "normal" Ethernet connection. It will only work as well as the wireless "hop" between the Express and Extreme allow.
    For best results and performance, a wired connection through the hole in the wall is always best. If you decide to do this, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port on the device. But, you could try wireless first to see if it will meet your goals before you reach for the tools.
