Wireless Bridge aironet 1410

We have a site with couple of consumer level bridged AP's. We have been recommended a Cisco 1410 wireless bridge but it is very expensive. What are the added features of this bridge and is someone using it? We originally were thinking of replacing the AP's with cisco 1231 AP's and bridging them as it would be cheaper.
Is there a benefit to using a 1410?

The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge is the premier high-speed, high-performance outdoor bridging solution for line-of-sight applications, providing features such as:
a) Support for both point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations
b) Industry leading range and throughput, supporting data rates up to 54 Mbps
c) Enhanced security mechanisms based on 802.11 and 802.11i standards
d) Ruggedized enclosure optimized for harsh outdoor environments with extended operating temperature range
e) Integrated or optional external antennas for flexibility in deployment
f) Designed specifically for ease-of-installation and operation
More information on the 1400 bridge is available in the data sheet at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps5279/products_data_sheet09186a008018495c.html

  • Wireless Bridge Aironet 1240

    Hi all,
    is it possible to create a wireless bridge between 2 AP of different brands?
    I need to create a bridge between an Aironet 1240 and a Telecom Italia router (Alice Gate VoIP 2 Plus Wi-Fi), where
    the Alice Gate is the AP and the aironet works in the workgroup mode.
    At home I tried with the Aironet and a Thomson st585: when aironet tries to connect to the ssid, the thomson ap reloads.
    In Aironet logs I find : "Parent lost : too many requests"
    What does it mean?

    dancampb is right. There isn't a standard for wireless bridging so interoperability between vendors is very low.
    I have tried the following 3 tests.
    1. Set Cisco Aironet 1242 as the root AP and Cisco Aironet 1231 as the wireless work bridge. No problem with all encryption methods like WEP, WPA WPA2.
    2. Set Linksys WRT310N as the root AP and Cisco Aironet 1242 as the wireless work bridge. Tried WPA2, can't associate.
    3. Set Belkin54g as the root AP and Cisco Aironet 1231 as the wireless work bridge/repeater. Open method, can't associate.
    As far as I know, if you can flash both the AP and the Bridge with the same firmware like DD-WRT, then you have a big chance to successfully associate them.
    Hope the above tests help.

  • Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Problem

    I have inherited a wireless link between two building that used a pair of Aironet 350 wireless bridges.  I say used because one took a lightning strike and is fried.  I need to see the configuration on the remaining bridge to set up the new bridge but no one knows the user name or password to access the remaining functioning 350.  How do I reset this old buzzard?  I have tried all the instructions I have found on this site and others.  There is no reset button.  I found this out by disassembling another Aironet 350 we had which has also taken a strike.  I cannot set up the new 1300 without knowing the config of what it will be talking to.  I have been able to connect to the 350 with a serial cable and I can see some of the information.  But the only thing I get is the ip address for fe0.  I have attached the file I captured to this post.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

    If you know the IP of the 350, put a laptop on the same subnet and use a crossover cable to web to its GUI.  VxWorks CLI sucks!
    If you can get hold of a pair of 1231 APs, they can be configured to run in bridge mode and use the same antennas as the 350s.  Benefits are IOS and G radios. 

  • Encrypting Aironet 1410 bridge link using multiple VLANs

    I've looked at the documentation available for Aironet 1400 series, and still would like to see a single document showing an example of
    the best encryption/authentication available for bridge links using multiple VLANs.
    As I understand it, 1400 series can support WPA-PSK using AES, which would work for me.  I just can't picture how to integrate chapters 9 and 10 for the 'WEP and WEP Features' + 'Configuring Authentication Types' instructions.
    I'm looking either for an example config, or a step-by-step that did all steps consecutively.
    Thanks

    What doc are you refering to?  If you want to encrypt the link from root bridge to non-root bridge, then WPA/TKIP-PSK is what you should use.  Here is a link to how to setup your link ssid to WPA: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/bridge/1400/12.2_15_JA/configuration/guide/p15auth.html#wp1044935
    Don't worry about the example they show on the WEP, just use the configuration from the above link for your encryption.
    Configuring a VLAN
    Configuring your bridge to support VLANs is a five-step process:
    1. Create subinterfaces on the radio and Ethernet interfaces.
    2. Enable 802.1q encapsulation on the subinterfaces and assign one subinterface as the native VLAN.
    3. Assign a bridge group to each VLAN.
    4. (Optional) Enable WEP on the native VLAN. <-- Use WPA-PSK
    5. Assign the bridge's SSID to the native VLAN.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/bridge/1400/12.2_15_JA/configuration/guide/p15vlan.html
    Here is an example of vlan 1 (native) will be your management and your wireless link.  vlan 10 & 20 will pass through the link.
    BR# configure terminal
    BR(config)# interface dot11radio0.1
    BR(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 1 native
    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 1
    BR(config-subif)# exit
    BR(config)# interface fastEthernet0.1
    BR(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 1 native
    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 1
    BR(config)# interface fastEthernet0.10

    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 10
    BR(config)# interface fastEthernet0.20
    BR(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 20
    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 20
    BR(config-subif)# exit
    BR(config)# interface dot11radio0

  • Aironet 1300 wireless Bridges connection loss, help!

    Hi,
    We have 2 Cisco Aironet 1300 wireless bridges with yaggi antennas.
    The connection drops sometimes (every 2 or 3 days) and never comes up again.
    When we reboot the non-root bridge the connection works again. We swapped the complete unit but still the same.
    For logs see attached file.
    What can be the problem? The antennas are not aligned correctly?
    Thx in advance
    greetings,
    Marc

    How long is the path and what were the results of the survey?
    Were the connectors waterproofed?
    Please describe the sytem from the bridge to the antenna including cable type, length, path, outdoors, indoors etc.

  • Wireless Bridge by Aironet 3700i

    I'd like to connect two network by using two Aironet 3700i APs like
    NW1 -- AP1 -- AP2 -- NW2
    I want to confirm that this is possible by simply setting AP1 = Root Bridge and AP2 = Non-Root Bridge.
    I also want to confirm that this is possible even when AP2&NW2 are moving and connect to AP1 temporarily.  

    When you configure AP2 as workgroup bridge, then it will act as a wireless client. So it will associate to any normal AP (other AP no need to be the root bridge). Also you can modify the roaming behaviour so it will roam to different AP like any other client when moving.You can refer this to configuration options available on this
    http://mrncciew.com/2013/07/24/wgb-roaming-part-1/
    You can configure multiple vlan with WGB & you can refer below for that
    http://mrncciew.com/2013/06/16/ios-ap-wgb-with-multiple-vlan/
    If it is does not require that sort of roaming & always you will align with AP1 then you can configure it as Root Bridge & Non-Root-Bridge. Here is a reference configs for a wireless bridge

  • Ping - Telnet Not Traversing Aironet C1310 Wireless Bridge

    aironet root-bridge <----> aironet non-root-bridge10.80.254.3/28 <----> 10.80.254.4/28
    The bridges are associated and devices (pc, voip, printer) on the non-root side can access the network on the root side.
    I can ping and telnet to devices on the same side of each bridge, but not accross the bridges.
    This is probabably a simple fix, but I'm really stumped and would greatly appreciate the input.

  • Trouble with wireless bridge......

    I am having extreme difficulty setting up Cisco Aironet 1310 series devices. here is an overview:
    We have our main network with an ip scheme of 10.1.1.0/24 on one side and an office across the street that is on 10.1.2.0/24.
    I want to connect these 2 networks via wireless bridge. We do have a PTP T1 between the 2 sites that is used to carry VoIP traffic and data, but I want the data moved to the wirless bridges.
    I put the bridges on their own network of 192.168.1.0/28 and I am using 2 switches with their own VLANS on the same network as the bridges.
    No matter what I try, I can't get traffic to flow properly.
    does anyone have any suggestions or can they point me in the right direction. It is driving me crazy!
    thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hi Andrew, Thanks for the response.
    AP's are running in "root" and "non-root" mode and they are able to talk to each other ok. Just can't get the traffic to flow from point A to B (the main network, through the wireless bridges, over to the remote network and back again), then back from B to A. The traffic either loops or bounces back and forth between the firewall and the switches. I suspect I need t tweak the gateways on each of AP's as well.
    Right now, the gateways are set to point to the VLAN set on the switch of the opposite side. This way, traffic hits the AP and is forwarded through to the opposite VLAN.
    I am using seperate VLAN's to seperate the traffic but have not tried to associate with a specific SSID as of yet.

  • Non-root wireless bridge speed issue

    I have a wireless bridge connecting two buildings, using Cisco Aironet 1262's. The root Bridge allows for bonding 2 channels on the A radios and talks at 40MHz, the non-root does not alloow me to do this configuration in the gui, and the band width is only 20MHz. So one side of my bridge will talk at a higher rate then the other end. Any ideas, suggestions??

    So here is the thing. Just remember that wireless is half duplex so if your connecting at 54mbps, your max throughput would be half of that so around 22.5mbps which you are seeing. Now if you wanted to maybe connect at 802.11n rates (might or might not) make sure you are using either open authentication or WPA2/AES. These are supported in the 802.11n standard.

    The 802.11n HT rates apply only to no encryption or WPA2/AES encryption. They do not apply to WEP or WPA encryption. If WEP or TKIP encryption is used, the 1250 series access points and any 802.11n Draft 2.0 clients will not transmit at the HT rates. Legacy rates (802.11a/b/g) will be used for any clients using WEP or TKIP encryption

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Best Wireless Bridge Option

    Hopefully someone here can help...
    I'm in the process of extending our office network to a building across the street (150 feet away with clear LOS).  The group moving over there does constant file transferring (5Gb - 20Gb), so I want to go with something fast but not break the bank.  The 1300 series only does G, so it's not fast enough.  However, it is cheap, so loadbalancing over two sets of 1300s could be an option.  The 1552e looks like it might do what I want, but I can't really tell.  From the documentation it sounds like it might require a controller.  Does anyone know if it can be used as a point to point bridge without a controller? 
    I browsed Aruba's site, and it looks like they have like 10 different APs that do what I want, while Cisco's selection seems rather limited.  Anyone have any experience with something like this.

    You need a WAP that will support external antenna.  Since you have a budget, then you need the WAP to also be autonomous.
    The contenders are:  1240 and the 1260.
    The 1240 will only support 802.11 a/b/g and has a FastEthernet port.  The 1260 will support 802.11a/b/g/n and has a GigabitEthernet port.

  • Wireless Bridge Management options

    Hello,
    I am really new to Wireless Solution. What will be the best management option for the Cisco 1310 or 1410 being used as Bridge(Pairs: Root and Non-Roots)? I am planning to use WLSE for managing 1410 Bridges as suggested in the Cisco Docments but at the same time in one of the documents they are suggesting to migrate from WLSE to WCS!Is it advisable to use WCS instead of WCS for Wireless Bridges? What will you recommend?
    Please advice. Thank you.

    Unfortunately, WCS isn't an option. There is currently no bridging option for Cisco's lightweight solution, and WCS only manages lightweight access points.
    So while WLSE is your only option, it's also EOS/EOL. So... yeah... Cisco needs to step it up and give us some options here.
    Sorry, probably not what you expected to hear :/ You might want to look at a third-party management platform like AirWave, since Cisco doesn't actually have a living solution for autonomous bridging management.

Maybe you are looking for
