I know that a 1552 AP has 4 Ethernet ports. Is it possible to use them as some standard switch ports? If I connect two ore more devices to these ports do i have connectivity between them?
View 16 RepliesI am testing a Cisco 1552 and cannot seem to set it to use the 40 MHz channels. In the controller GUI is is set to use 40 MHz channels under DCA for 802.11a but when I go into the CLI and show the config of the AP it shows the channel width to be 20 MHz. If I try to change the channel width through the CLI I get "radio is not disable or ap not set to customize" or something like that. The radio is disabled globally and locally. Is there a way to set the AP or radio to a "customize" mode?
What prompted this was I was testing the throughput on it and can only get a 130 mbps data rate connection to it. The data sheet says it will support 300 mbps with the 40 mhz channel so I was trying to test it atteh higher rate.The HW is a Cisco 4402 with 7.0.230 software on it, 1552E.
I have configured a 1552, that is wired to network, as "Bridge" then "RootAP".
After reboot, I can see a MAP trying to join the network, in the "simple" logs of the controller :
"Mon May 6 17:29:43 2013 Mesh Node '04:da:d2:1f:4d:6f' failed to join controller, MAC address not in MAC filter list."
As I have done for the RAP, I enter this MAC address in the MAC Filtering area under Security tab. But this action doesn't solve the problem, I continue to see this message in the controller logs !
If I open a SSH session on the RAP, I can see this block of debug messages repeat all the time :
*May 6 15:29:33.163: %MESH-6-ADJ_VIDB_LINK: Mesh neighbor 04da.d21f.4d6f VIDB Virtual-Dot11Radio0 dot1x control
*May 6 15:29:33.167: %LINK-6-UPDOWN: Interface Virtual-Dot11Radio0, changed state to up
*May 6 15:29:34.167: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Dot11Radio0, changed state to up

*May 6 15:29:43.423: %MESH-6-ADJ_VIDB_LINK: Mesh neighbor 04da.d21f.4d6f VIDB Virtual-Dot11Radio0 going
When I take a look into detailled debug messages of the controller I can see this :
*spamReceiveTask: May 06 17:30:44.364: #LWAPP-6-RADIUS_AUTHORIZATION: spam_radius.c:242 The system could not send join reply, AP authorization failed; AP:04:da:d2:1f:4d:6f
I don't know why the system talks about dot1x or Radius Authorization, and if this is the source of my problems. On a other hand, I can see in the debug messages that there is a 2 hours lag time between controller (correct time) and RAP (incorrect, I suppose it synchronize with the controller?)
I'm having a small issue using my external CIsco Wireless Card AIR-CB21-AG-E-K9 with a Lightweight Access Point 1552 (Outdoor) using 802.11a Radio.
Description of issue :
I can connect to a wireless network when i set the Wireless Mode to 2.4GHz 54 Mbps (802.11 g), and 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps (802.11 b) on the card but not with 5GHz 54 Mbps (802.11a).
Note that this card is compatible to 802.11 a, b and g.
All settings on the 2504 WLC is set to default regarding the radios configuration.
Both radio interfaces type (802.11 b/g/n and 802.11a/n) are operational and Admin status Enable on the WLC.
The status of the wireless card is as follows :
Profile Name - Wifi-Test
Link Status - Not associated
Wirless Mode : 5 GHz 54 Mbps
Network Type : Infrastructure
Current Channel : Scanning
I'm trying to become famillar with Cisco Mesh AP's deployment. As I know RAP's (Roof-top AP's are AP's with Ethernet/Fiber connection to the network). I connected these AP's via L2 switch , they can reach WLC and everything looks fine.
No I want to connect few MAP's to my RAP's. But of course firstly we will need to set-up IP addresses for these MAP's? But how? There is no "configure terminal" option at all ( on mesh AP console) .
MeshAP#?
Exec commands:
access-profile Apply user-profile to interface

My problem ist that i have 4 air-cap-1552e APs witch are powerde trugh Power Injectors. They worked fine for a few days but then the controller (7.2.111.3) lose connection to them. Right now i have only one Joined AP. The other 3 are status not joined. I can Ping all 4 Aps and wifi clients are connected through them.

View 3 Replies View Relateda customer got an 1552 outdoor AP in local mode and installed it at a building. It has to run as a Mesh AP (MAP). Now the AP connects one time to the WLC 5508 and started a download. After that, the AP never came back. Like we saw on the other installed 1552 RAP's, they all where in local mode.We configured all AP's to bridge mode, but the MAP could not join anymore.Is there a CLI command to change the mode on the AP itself?From the WLC it's not a problem, but for the AP CLI I cannot find sth.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI found this sentence in 1552 AP guide."AP1552 comes only in the Bridge mode and the mode cannot be changed. A mesh access point performs CleanAir function and also serves clients on the assigned channel similar to the way the Cisco Indoor CleanAir AP3500 (nonmesh mode) operating in LMAP mode serving clients on its assigned channel. The mesh AP also monitors the spectrum only on that channel."We want to use this AP as a local AP ( not for mesh deployments) and serve our wireless clients. The main thing why we need this is just operating temperature. Is it good choice? Does it will function as "normal" local AP or we will have any problems , because of that "mesh" mode?

I have one 1552 with the gigabit ethernet connected to the gigabit ethernet to another device that has a point-to-point link with another device where have a ethernet connection with a switch in the same broadcast domain where i have my WLC.
Next to this 1552 i have another 1552 that have the same situation, both with omnidirectional antenna.
I would like to have a Mesh connection with these two 1552 in 5Ghz, because if some point-to-point link is down i need redundancy to the WLC and my network, because i have some clients connected in the 2.4 Ghz in both Access Points.
Couple questions on setting channels on Cisco 1552s. First off almost all locations are fibered and set as RAPs. It doesn't allow me to set the channel assignment method to "global" to use DCA. It says it can't be done for a mesh backhaul AP. Is there any way around this? Next, when the channel is set to "custom" there are only 5 channels listed to choose from in the UNII-3 band. The spec sheet on the 1552 shows it supports other frequencies in the UNII-2 and UNII-2 extended range. Why can't I select those channels?

This AP is connected to 3750X switch and recieving power over ethernet.Now, by default AP 1552 come with bridge mode and it cannot be changed to local mode. I read on one of the post and made it ROOTAP but still the OPER STATUS is down. This device is already registered to my WLC.

I have to install a wireless mesh network shortly using Cisco 1552 APs. This will be controller based using 5508 controllers. The controllers currently have some 1262 APs configured in a mesh and bridging configuration so happy that it all basically works. My question is - what is the "config mesh range' command doing on the controller ( or setting the Range(RootAP to MeshAP) setting on the controller mesh GUI. The default setting is 12000feet and I have left it at default at present. Just interested in what this is used for - I assume it alters the mesh protocol parameters somehow ( or the RF parameters perhaps ) as it suggests in the guide that mesh APs will reboot following this command being changed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm deploying a Cisco Mesh infrastructure using WLC 7.2 version and 1552 APs.
This Mesh APs will be connected in the Light Pole and the RAP will be connected to the SP Switch located in this same Pole.
The MAP will be powered using Pole source power and will be connected to the RAP over 5.8 Bach haul.
My Customer asks if is possible that in case of SP Switch lost the connectivity to the Backbone IP, the RAP can connected to another RAP and maintain the connectivity to the Backbone over the Air, like REPEATER FALLBACK mode in Autonomous version.
For that I thinking to change the role of the RAP APs to "MAP with UTP Cable", but I'm not sure that a MAP AP with CAPWAP tunnel over UTP Cable can provide a Down link Backhand to another MAPs. That is possible?
We are having a hard time to console into to the APs using the serial connection (USB to serial converter).We have tried the recommended settings (9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control (also tried XON/XOFF)) without any success.We are able to connect to 3560 series switches and 5508 WLCs using the same cables, notebook and application (putty, hyperterminal & secureCRT).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 cisco switches that are at different sites one is a Cisco CAT4500 and other 3560. The connection between the switches is a layer 2 fibre link. CAT4500 and 3560 both have VLAN interface ip addresses in order for me to connect to the switches.
I have PC A connected to CAT4500 and PC B connecting to 3560. All these devices are the same VLAN and in the same subnet. I do have trunk links all the way though allowing this vlan as we run vlans. From PC A, I can ping CAT4500, 3560 and even PC B. This tells me everything is fine regarding Layer 2 & 3.
As soon as I move PC B and connect it to the other switch CAT4500 or move the other PC vice versa (this happens in both directions). Both switches learn that the mac address has moved locations and updates its mac address table accordingly. So when I do a show mac address table and show arp, everything has learned and moved fine. However when I try to ping any other device from PC B I cannot. So the 3560 switch PC B was originally connected to, I can no longer ping, the switch cannot see the pc also. It is as if PC B has not learned anything from the switch and cannot respond or reply to any icmp. I have tried this with different end devices, same thing. I am now thinking it has something to do with the switch.
is it possible to assign a loopback address to a typical switch port on a 2950 switch? I want to be able to have some devices connected to a switch to test access lists and VLANs.

In your average LAN, does your average switch has an ip address, or is it a 'dumb' device like a repeater ? Is the same true for layer 2 switches and layer 3 switches or is there a difference in terms of IP addressing ? Can you even assign an IP address to a switch ? Would you want to do that and why ?
