Which cisco wireless bridges support point to multipoint

hi all i am really new to wireless. i am looking for information as which cisco wireless bridges support point to multipoint configuration.
i have a cisco 1230G access-point will it support the same .
any help would be great.
regards
sushil

The Cisco 1300's and 1400's support point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. The 1230G can only support point-to-point (i think)

  • Setting up a netgear n300 as wireless bridge/access point with airport extremee

    I just replaced my netgear wireless router with the airport to allow our many devices on the network without knocking each other off and also increase the speed.  But would like to use the netgear as a wireless bridge or access point so that I can still connect my NTFS formatted hard drive to be shared on the network.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I can not seem to find my netgear router with 192.168.1.1 as that comes up with another device.  I have tried doing this with a windows laptop in another room but can not seem to make it work.  I am now hooked up directly to the airport thinking i need to do it that way and still no luck. Please help.

    As long as you intend to do this over ethernet it will work.. you cannot easily wireless repeat or bridge to an apple router.. you would need specific hardware to do it.
    What is the exact model of netgear you have?
    The setup method depends on the functionality of the router.. but lets assume it does not have a bridge or WAP mode.
    You use WAN bypass.
    1. Setup the Netgear with IP address in the correct IP range for the rest of the network.. it is hard to talk generalities so lets say the apple is main router and your network is now 10.0.1.x .. then set the Netgear to 10.0.1.250 (apple uses IP 2-200 by default) you can use any value you like outside the DHCP range. Up to the limit which is 254 as long as you keep track of all static IP devices. Apply this setting and power cycle the router.. and you might need to power cycle the computer as well to pick up the new IP.
    2. Turn off the DHCP server in the Netgear. You may lose connection to the netgear now.. do not worry about it.. (this can be combined with one.. if you firstly turn off dhcp before you change the IP.. but whatever is possible.. at some point you will need to change around and if you forget what IP .. you will be in a mess.. so write it on a label and stick on the base of the router.. also without dhcp you will either need to reset router to factory using reset button or use static ip on the computer. )
    3. Plug ethernet from LAN of the main router to LAN of the Netgear. Reboot the whole network is often necessary.
    4. In your computer plugged somewhere in the network.. open browser and go to the address you set.. 10.0.1.250 in my example.
    5. You can then setup the Netgear to do whatever you like.. DIsk access is fine.. wireless is fine.. it just cannot be a router.
    Many many reboots if you get lost. Hit reset and start over.

  • Will the 340 wireless bridge support Leap

    Will the 340 point to point wireless bridge authenicate and use Leap if upgraded to the latest software, like the 350 series bridges? The documentation is not clear on this.

    NO,
    They run a different operating system and were end of lifed before LEAP.
    The documentation is a little vauge on this topic if you are not familar with all of the product range, but what youare looking in the documentation for is.
    To run LEAP you will see you need newer than 11.0 firmware.
    The BR340's firmware is 8.x

  • Can L2-MPLS VPN support point-to-multipoint?

  • Wireless bridge supporting igmp

    Has anybody got suggestions for a wireless bridge I can use on my youview setup.
    Tried a few 18 months ago, iplayer and nowtv worked but not IP channels.
    At the time I suspected it was down to incorrect igmp routing, my powerline setup is becoming problematic so I'm returning to a wireless solution
    Does anyone have a confirmed working wireless solution with ALL the ip facilities of youview including premium IP channels?
    My router is an older style bt homehub
    Ta
    Steve

    the reason why this doesnt work is that a BT HH3 doesnt pass IGMP/multicast packets onto the wireless AP.
    The supposed reason being that multicast could swamp the wireless network.
    It doesnt matter what client one uses, if IGMP packets arent passed to the wireless AP (by the router) then would wont be able to use youview wirelessly.
    by "use" I mean IPTV multicast channels (essentials BT sport etc) NOT iplayer of nowtv.
    anybody claiming to have IPTV channels working with a HH3 over wirelss is telling porkies, unless they know something that I dont.

  • Etherchannel with Cisco wireless Bridges

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a network in which there are four bridges communicating wirelessly in point to point design(Two bridges on each end of the network which are the connected to Catalyst 3650 switches). I have achieved this design but when I combine the links using etherchannel on the switches one of the link is active and the other inactive. the other link becomes active only when the active links goes down due to STP. Is there a way I can make both links to transmit and receive in a bonded fashion without one of the links being inactive to achieve aggregated throughput. Attached is an example of the network looks like.
    I would be grateful if any assistance is given to me in this area.
    thanks.

    Like Dan mentioned, there is no way you can bond the ports together and make it act like an etherchannel.  You either have a primary and backup solution or your configure spanning tree to determine what vlans it should pass to what switch port.  This way at least you are using both links and not congesting one link with traffic.
    Here is an example"

  • Link Budget for Aironet 1550EU point-to-multipoint bridge

    We have six remote building near our main office. Is it possible to use a single Aironet 1550EU as the root bridge for point-to-multipoint links to six Aironet 1530E on each building? The datasheet for Aironet 1550EU states that it support three 5Ghz antenna and three 2.4 Ghz antenna.
    The remote buildings are within 1 km radius of the main building with LOS. We are using the following link budget for our calculation. Our target bandwidth is 24 Mbps. Please correct me if my number is incorrect. I am quite new to wireless network.
    Regulatory Domain: America
    Link Margin: 5 dBm
    Cable link loss: 2 dBm
    Antenna Gain for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz links: 13 dBi Patch Antenna
    Max Tx Power of 1550EU for 802.11g and 802.11a with 13 dBi antenna : 20 dBm (smallest Max Tx power on channels)
    Rx Sensitivity of 1550EU and 1530E for 802.11a and 802.11g @ 24 Mbps: -81dBm
    Max Range for 5 Ghz   @ 24 Mbps = 4.78 km
    Max Range for 2.4 Ghz @ 24 Mbps = 9.95 km
    I am using the formula on this page. The result is very similar to Bridge Range Calculator from Cisco. Is my calculation correct?
    Thanks

    I was going to have the same concern as you about using the 1232 for both bridging and client serving. Tying a bridge and an AP back to back is a valid configuration from what I have heard. I haven't had the opportunity to try it, though. I know that Cisco says tying 2 bridges back to back to serve as an intermediate bridge hop is a valid configuration, so I don't see why this would be any different.

  • Cisco Aeronet 1400 Wireless Bridge

    Shanky and other NetPros,
    Good Morning. Shanky, I read your review of the Aeronet 1300, and I was quite impressed. Have you or anyone else done a review of the Aeronet 1400 Wireless Bridge?
    I am putting myself into a position to attend the Wireless course offered by my local CNAP College. Until I can get into that class, would someone point me in the direction of some good whitepapers or extended documentation (200+ pages) to bring me up to speed with administration and support of these devices? At my organization, we had a very competent vendor do the install, and we are bringing the management company that will be managing our lease for Cisco Routers and Switches into the
    management of the 1400s. I will obviously not be alone. I would like to understand these devices at the level of those folks that I will be calling to troubleshoot. I suspect that I will be fully managing these devices when our lease expires in three years.
    Furthermore, does anyone have information on the evolution of the CNAP Wireless course? The Cisco Wireless LAN Support Specialist designation (WLANFE) appears to be discontinued. Does anyone know of the future of any of the CNAP Wireless programs or if a new program is in development? Thank you, and I hope to continue learning from your experience and knowledge.
    Regards,
    John

    Thank you, Beth. Your post was very helpful. I have printed the first two documents and added them to my documentation. Cisco has some very detailed documentation (200+ pages) for other pieces of hardware (switches and routers), and I was hoping there was similar documentation on how to implement, manage, and troubleshoot Aironet Bridges, Routers, and APs. I was looking for something to read that was newer that the Textbook used in the Cisco Networking Academy Wireless class, since the models described in the that text are several generations older. Thank you for your assistance.

  • Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

    Hi.
    I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
    I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
    I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
    Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
    The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
    My Wireless network is using WPA.
    I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
    The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
    Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Katman

    A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
    If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
    Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

  • 1552 in P-MP acting as 802.11a Wireless Bridge with single antenna SISO

    Can you configure three Cisco 1552EUs to act as a RAP and two MAPs in a bridge only Point to Multipoint configuration. 
    I'd like to disable two of the 5Ghz antenna ports and use just a single TX/RX port and a single directional antenna for each AP.
    Does this simply reduce the system gain because you lose the MRC MIMO advantage / gain of either 1.7 or 4.7db (depending on qty of spatial streams).
    Also, are the 1552EU's backward compatible with the Cisco 1310's in the configuration mentioned above.
    Thanks for any comments.

    The transfer speeds sound about right. The "54Mbps" is a signaling rate, not a throughput.
    To make 802.11 wireless "reliable"  (comparable to a wired network)  the data is, in effect, sent twice and staggered such that a glitch usually doesn't get both.
    In terms of throughput of your data, a strong signal with good signal quality, using IP, unencrypted  should run ~22-26Mbps (some variability for noise/interference, mixed frame sizes, TCP ACK times, application responses, etc). 
    So, at ~24 Mbps (megabits per second) you're looking at ~4  megabytes per second versus 100Mbps/12.5mBps as a probable max rate.
    Given that, a transfer that takes approximately one minute on a wired network under typical conditions ... having it take four-to-five minutes on a typical wireless system is about right.
    For power settings, you can adjust the power by monitoring the RSSI values on the receiving system. If I can find the docs on Cisco's main site I'll post 'em up later (gotta run ...), but if the mechanical install is good, then it'll just be a little keyboard work.
    Good Luck

  • Outdoor wireless Bridge

    Hello,
    I am looking for recommendation on a Cisco Wireless Bridge, to bridge between two buildings about 500m to 1km appart.
    Can someone with this experience please recommend what wireless bridge will satisfy this need.
    Product number would be helpfull, so I can find it on the Cisco site.

    We use the 1410 that has a built in antenna. A coupel of years ago we installed some with external panel antennas, but saw no advantage. The internal antenna eliminates one more point of failure, the coax and connector required for an external antenna.
    The 1400 series is built like an army tank and is ready to mount outdoors with no additional enclosure.
    We are using them in one-to-one bridge mode, and also in an access point mode serving up to five or six buildings all looking at it with their 1400 series bridge.

  • WAP561 - Wireless Bridge

    Hi
    I understand that two WAP561 devices can be setup in a wireless bridge.  I was wondering the following:
    - Would the wireless bridge support all VLAN's that are currently setup on the network
    - If I setup the bridge on 1 radio (5GHz), on one of the devices can a wireless AP be setup utilising the other radio over the 2.4GHz.
    Thanks

  • Troubleshooting Point to Multipoint Wireless Bridge

    I have a customer which is a  Small RV Park that has Four 1242 Dual Band Access Points with external outdoor antennae.   All 4 APs are configured with a client SSID on the 802.11G radio, and an Infrastructure SSID on the 802.11A radio interface.   The A band is being used for wireless backhaul from the 3 remote APs to a central AP configured as a Root Bridge.   The 3 remote APs are non-root bridges on the A Radio interface. 
    There are separate antenna on each AP for the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz bands.  Directional patch antennae are on the remote APs on the A band pointing to an 5ghz Omni on the Root Bridge.  On the 2.4ghz band that the client PCs use, their are either Omni or 180 degree patch antenna on those interfaces.
    The issue I am having is keeping all three 802.11A back haul links up at the same time for an extended period.   I moved some of the 1242 APs in the park to get better client coverage, and all three remote radios worked with the backhaul link working at 54mbps.  Then I started having issues with one radio dropping its backhaul link, while the other two remotes worked perfectly.  Then a second AP backhaul link failed.   I was then able to reconnect the radio I was initially having issues with changing the root bridge channel selection from manual to DFS.
    The Second remote AP still has not reconnected, but remote APs 1 an 3 are still up.  I have checked the antenna alignment visually, and checked the connectors.   Even swapped out a spare AP.  All 1242s are running the last software version put out for that model.
    Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?  When I do a shut/no shut on the dot11radio1 interface, I get a console message that it finds no radio to associate.  The Infrastructure SSID has no security on it and open authentication.  This is just for free internet access to anyone in the RV Park.

  • 3502p AccessPoint support MESH and Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging with Outdoor Antennas??

    I need to know if 3502p with outdoor antennas supports Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging??

    The 3502p is only used for arenas and or stadiums. These are different units than the 3500's and 3600's. So no they can't be.
    You can use Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge for a wireless link between two buildings (1km) to extend your LAN. For more detail you can go through the below link.
