Setting up SNMP on my Cisco AP's (1242AG Lightweight). How do I manage these via SNMP? It doesn't appear there is any settings within each AP for SNMP but only on the 4400 controller. What I am trying to do is setup Solarwinds Alerts, so when an AP goes down, I get notified of it. How or where this gets setup on the 4400 or the AP. I'm guessing there is something probably on the 4400 that I setup.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using two cisco 1242 AG access points to configure WDS feature. I've named the accesspoints as AP1(acts as WDS) and AP2. Since I've only two accesspoints, I've configured the AP1 to act both as a WDS and as a regular accesspoints.Further I'm using the local radius server within the AP1 to authenticate both clients and infrastructure accesspoints. And both APs are connected to a router (which act as a dhcp server) via a unmanageble switch and both accesspoints are getting registered with WDS.But the issue is when I tried to connect to the configured SSID, it promts me a "authentication window" but after entering the configured username and password, i'm not getting authenticated by the AP.
I've attached the configurations of both APs to for your reference and I've used the following cisco document as a guideline to crate the WDS. [code]
I'm having a little issue with some Cisco Aironet1242ag WAP's. I receive a call at least twice a month stating that some of the WAP's are not giving out internet connection. What I always do is go to my patch panel and disconnect those WAP's not working and connect them back again so they can power cycle. These WAP's are connected to a Cisco3750g. Once the WAP's boot up, the users can connect to the WAP and connect to the internet.
I don't know if these WAP's are filling up with some information that causes the access points to not connect to the WAN.
I have some 1242s and I can't get a straight answer on whether they can do both autonomous and lightweight or just lightweight.
Model number: AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9.
I'm assuming that the 'L' in the model numbers means it's just lightweight, but searching Cisco's site and the Internet in general it's just not clear.
I know it works as a lightweight AP, can I run it in autonomous mode?
Is it safe to manage an 891 router across the Internet using Cisco Configuration Professional 2.4? If so, a few pointers on enabling and configuring it. If not, I assume setting up a VPN to the router then using CCP across the VPN would be the preferred approach.

I have setup WCS logins to be managed by ACS 4.2 . I was looking over the docs and I appear to be missing something because I can't find any documentation on doing the same to the controllers. I did successfully lock myself out of the WiSM in the lab during some testing. I had to pull the plug on the lab ACS to allow local login.

I have 3 Cisco 1242 WAPs that I have deployed at a site that has NO RADIUS/AAA devices. I have given all of them a different channel (1,6,11), but the same SSID and crypto (WPA2-PSK). The issue is when a machine boots up it associates with the closest/strongest AP, but as the device "roams" it does not which to a different AP. It stays associated with the original AP until that signal is gone. Then it quickly associates with the closest AP with no problem.
How do I get the device to associate with the strongest WAP? I have research "fast roaming and WDS" but it seems like you need EAP/LEAP and they do NOT have that at all.
I want to connect with wireless devices two buildings, one in front of another. Short distance (about 20 meters) and no obstacles. I have a couple of aironet 1242 and i was wondering if it would be possible to setup this link with this equipment.
could WGB be the solution?
I was recently asked by a friend working for a new ISP in my city about managing their bandwidth, honestly I couldn't give him any answer.

i am a little bit confused!
the cisco documents tells:
"at_a_glance_c45-636090.pdf"
A wireless network with standalone access points offers a low-cost, entry-level solution that does not require a controller. It is ideal for small-scale networks with less than 20 access points, and offers base-level wireless functionality with the flexibility to scale and add services over time by adding a controller.
I would like to as you that i have swiches 2960 (10Unit) and switches 3560 ( 3 unit) and router 2821 ( 1 unite) and AP( 10 unit).So do you know software can manage all those product? Like monitor switch up or down, manage configure, check performance.

I just want to ensure the config will work as I need to go into a cherry picker to get to the non-root-bridge.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe currently have 8 1242's and they all work fine, however we recently baught one 2nd hand one which was previously connected to a WLC, it lights up fine but it wont detect in IPSU even though the dhcp has assigned an IP to it. I would like to login through the web page to configure it but I am not able to do that either. It responds to ping fine though. So I no longer wont it be a LAP, so I tried to console in, to run flash_init etc. but when I try and give the <ESC> command (during the flash loader) it just carries on and ignores all input. I have used the correct settings Baud rate 9600, no parity, no flow control , databits 8, etc. but nothing happens it just goes through the boot and then asks me to press enter to input. i can then browse the directories and rename files. but I just cant get it to holt the loader so I can reset, I tried rename of config.txt and env_vars but that has't worked either. It keeps stating that it is looking for LWAPP/CAPWAP but unfortunately we don't have a WLC Is there another way I can reset it or is there some magic way in whic I can send the ESC command.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI encounter a strange problem on several AP 1242 in version 12.4(25d)JA1 of a customer : He has 10 autonomous AP covering The APs loose LAN connectivity randomly and therefore the clients don't work anymore. The AP are connected on a 2960 and a 3560 wich are in turn connected on a 3750 wich route the trafic.After checking spanning-tree no loops are present. When I check the counters on the AP involved I see the "trhottles" and "ignored" counters incrementing on the fa0 link of the AP impacted wich mean I think it can't handle the incoming traffic. This incoming traffic seems not to be too big however. I can see drops on the switch interface connecting the AP.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue at one of our remote agencies whereas we are getting numerous mac-flap notifications on our switches. This has become kind of a hinderance as we are getting tired of seeing these messages. The end users havent been complaining.
It's usually occurring with the same mac-addresses over and over. Upon further investigation, we found the mac-addresses are all on laptops which have both wireless and wired nic's. There are wireless AP's (cisco 1242's) in use which they can connect. We also found where the error is popping up as they move from wireless into docking into their docking station which has a lan cable attached. I was under the assumption that the wireless mac and wired mac were different numbers and therefore if the wired was up simultaneously with the wired, as it switched over, they shouldn't get a flap.
Currently have access points located throughout our warehouse that use the AIR ANT5160V-R antenna's from Cisco. These AP's are 25' in the air. However we have a lot of voice quality issues off of the 5Ghz band, we do no other services on this band as we keep data on the 2.4Ghz.This was all installed by a vendor but from what I am seeing on the documentation [URL] the cover is extremely poor for these antennas despite AP's everywhere. They cover side to side but aren't a well rounded AP at all.it seems like the AIR-ANT5145V-R would be better suited even though this is a warehouse.
