Cisco :: 2504 / Rename AP Name In Overview (at Monitor > APs > Radios)?
May 29, 2013
I've got a Cisco 2504 wireless controller, and I'd like to rename the AP name in the overview (at Monitor > AP's > Radios) so that I know which unit is placed where and hence be able to troubleshoot more easily.I haven't found any info about this, and usually that means it's not an option, right? I realise the AP name field comes from the device itself, but it seems impossible to rename the device too since I'm running on lightweight, correct?
Any OID to determine the number of registered AP's on a WLC (specifically the AIR-CT2504).
I've got both of the Airespace MIBs and have browsed through them but I can't seem to find the correct location. I can find a list of all of the AP's registered but our monitoring software doesn't have the ability to 'count' that index. As such, I'm looking for a count/summation of the total number of registered AP's via SNMP.
check the traffic produced by different hosts in a local network. In other words: which hosts uses how much of the bitrate.For example: We have a wifi network with four computers connected to. Lets say one is running skype, one is surfing in the internet and both left are just in idle mode. Is there a way to monitor the use of our bitrate such that I could see:"Ahh IP 10 is using 80%, IP 11 is using 10% and IP 12 and 13 are using 5% each on average!"
Running an ASA 5500, and using ASDM to connect. I need to view the historical metrics in graph form for traffic overview, that is shown on the firewall dashboard. I have enabled historical data, but all I see the 5 minute intervals.
The animation school I work for is going to change names soon. The website already reflects the name change. The CEO wants all current emails changed to fall in with the proposed change as well as changing the school domain. Currently the system works fine as it is and I am of the opinion that changing the internal domain name space will have no effect whatsoever on people outside of the organisation. If there is no need to change things, then possibly re-directing emails internally would mean minimum fuss to daily operations within the school. Has anybody found themselves in a similar position and what was the outcome?
I wonder if there is a way to rename an existing SSID on aironet 1142 without destroying/recreating. I tried downloading configuration/ changing name/ re-uploading however that didn't have desired effect. There doesn't seem to be a way via web-GUI.
My Sony internet TV is connected to my (DIR-655) wireless LAN. It is listed on the Status Page and I can identify it by IP address and/or MAC address. The Name field, however is blank. How can I change it so that it is more clearly indicated as my TV connection?
I am using 5 Cisco 1200 Series APs with both an A and G radio. Is there a benefit/problem to running both simultaneously? I would have one SSID and is setup for Fast Roaming as well.
We have lots of new lap1041 need be set static IP Adress, hostname, Controller Adress via command line, but when use command (capwap ap hostname) to set hostname , always give us command disabled, we used command:clear capwap private-config, but it does not work, why?
I have a WCS, four 5508 controllers, Cisco 3750X switches, and both autonomous Cisco 1200, and LightWeight 3502i in service.The problems I am having, is that some of my Access Point reset for no apparent reason, and I get alerted by my NMS.When I look at the switch port, that connects an access point that reported down, I see the POE switch port went down and back up in 4 seconds, just long enough for the access point to reset.There are no errors on the switch port(s). No cable or speed/duplex issues. Switch IOS: c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.se1 There are no other pertinent entries in the switch log. Just that the port went down and then back up. Always in 4 seconds.When a reset happens the WCS reports on the access point: '802.11/b/g/n' interface of AP associated to controller 172.20.0.x is down. Reason: Indicates that while the radio state should be updated on controller, no reset should be reported.But nothing else, except that the radio came back up.
This is happening two or three times a day, and rotates. It seems that it never happens at the same time of the day, or the same access point, or the same switch. (I have over 1000 access points and 500 switches in service)I am curious if the WCS is automatically resetting the access point radios, which is causing the switch port to go down/up?And if so, is it possible to turn off the automatic reset?
My co-workers and I have been trying to diagnose a problem that recently started occuring on our AP1141N and AP1142N units. I have found a handful of posts that talk about this issue, but none with a solid solution. It seems that as often as every 24 hours, the radio interfaces change state to down, for seemingly no reason. Once this occurs, the only way to bring the radio interface back up is to reboot the AP. As far as we know, this wasn't happening until recently, when we enabled the "N" speeds. Things were working correctly for a year or two while the APs were configured just for b/g operation. The following is the only seeminlg-relevant thing that shows up in the logs:
*Nov 12 00:53:02.508: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to reset
*Nov 12 00:53:03.507: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to down
Some additional info:
- All of the APs are connected to PoE Cisco c2960 switches - We have tried both hard-coded radio channels, and non hard-coded - We have tried various ways setting power inline negotiation - We are not using a WLC - System Software Version: 12.4(21a)JA1 - Bootloader Version: 12.4(18a)JA3
I have attached output of sh run, sh log and sh controlers dot11Radio0. (Another oddiy - the line %DOT11-2-RESET_RADIO hasn't shown up in the other logs I have viewed after this issue occurs...)
One week ago I use a WLC 5508 to place and replace another WLC 5508 with version 6.0.199.4, when I conect the new WLC all AP´s works OK only 10 dont work and not are recognizes from the WLC with version 7.3.101.0. The fail is the radios stay disabled. All ap´s are AIR-AP1242G-AK9 . See the image below, the only difference this ten AP´s are conected in switches cisco all the rest are connected in switches of ohter vendor. If possible some command in the configuration is not neccesary and make the bad function?This is tipically config apllied by the customer in they cisco switches interface GigabitEthernet0/22description PB-RS-A22switchport access vlan 5switchport mode accessswitchport port-securityswitchport port-security aging time 2switchport port-security violation restrictswitchport port-security aging type inactivitymacro description cisco-desktopspanning-tree portfastspanning-tree bpduguard enable?
I've got a HTTP Redirect to a dedicated html site with our internet usage policy set up on multiple WAP4410N access points.This is working like a charm with laptops, but not with internet radios. They can't connect to the internet probably freezing on the http redirected site.Is there any way to exclude these devices from the redirect?
i noticed that the 1242AG does not bring up the Radios, when there is a Power Injector connected.I see in the Logs of the AP:
%CDP_PD-2-POWER_LOW: All radios disabled - NEGOTIATED WS-C6509 <Switchport MAC Add>
The Module in the 6500 is a WS-X6348-RJ-45 The Option "Power Injector installed" on the WLC is also enabled, with the MAC Address from the Switchport, but no change.When i disable CDP on the mentioned Switch Port and reload the AP, it comes up and runs fine.
I'm trying to configure Cisco 1262 AP's to allow me to use the 2.4 gHz radio for client access and the 5.x radio for the repeater connection back to a root AP connected to a LAN.
I have already configured the AP's to associate with each other via the 5.x radio, and have a client connected to the repeater AP via the 2.4 gHz radio. From my laptop on the LAN, I can connect to the repeater AP, but I cannot ping nor otherwise communicate with the distant client.
When I use the 2.4 gHz radio for repeater mode, clients that connect to the repeater AP can be seen and communicated with.Is there something special that needs to be done to get my desired scenario to work?All radios are members of bridge group 1.
I haven't found a way to rename the Guest account on my E3000 router. If my router is named HomeRouter the Guest account automatically gets the name HomeRouter-guest. I have disabled the router's SSID broadcast, but it still broadcasts the almost identical Guest account.
Cannot connect network radios after upgrading to latest firmware. Could connect before upgrading firmware but throughput was slow for computers and streaming. Now I can connect computers, but not radios. They connect ok using Belkin and Linksys routers.
I am trying to enable the workgroup bridge mode on the 5ghz 802.11N radio of a Aironet 1262N, but when I select the workgroup bridge mode from the GUI the radio becomes disabled. If I select the Access Point role from the GUI then the radio instantly becomes enabled. The same thing happens if I attempt the same procedure with the 2.4ghz radio as well. I can get the radios from both bands enabled if I select the Access Point role. I made sure to check that both radios were not set to workgroup bridge as well. I am running 12.4(25d)JA1 code on the AP. This is my first time working with this type of AP.
I just installed an E3200 to replace my old Linksys. All my Nooks, IPADs, laptops and desktops are connecting wirelessly fine. However, I have 2 Wi Fi Radios that will pick up the network but will not connect and go into a network connect time out. One of the radios also has a hardwired connection and that is working fine. I have checked and double checked the network name, WPA key, etc. Of course I have reset all the radios and reenter new data many times, both manually and auto.
I'm setting up a Cisco wireless mesh. The APs are all dual-band 3602s connected to a controller. So, let's say I'm broadcasting both 2.4 and 5.1GHz at the same time for the same SSID. Which frequency does a wireless client connect through, assuming the client supports both? Is there a way to default to one (say 5.1GHz) then fall back to the other, or is it strictly a matter of signal strength? (In which case, from the testing I've done, 2.4GHz almost always has a stronger signal strength.)
Or, should I broadcast separate networks (e.g. "work-network24" vs "work-network51") and manually authenticate/authorize against the appropriate band based on how I want to distribute load across the radios and spectrum?
best way to monitor delay, latency and jitter between sites connected by VPN? I have CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 but that doesn not seem to be able to do the job (or I just don't know how to to it in LMS) Even a 3rd party application will do. I would prefer not to have to place hardware at each location though.
I have a cisco 2911 router that is located in my head office LAN and I use this router to connect to my branch networks. I want to configure IP SLA Monitor on this router to track my WAN Links but it does not support the command IP SLA Monitor. My IOS VERSION is c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-2.T1.bin. how I can configure IP SLA on my router.
We are using LMS 4.0 in my office. We want to monitor our ISP router (cisco 888 or 892), the ISP open some MIB (IfMib and Cisco and these OID :1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2 / 1.3.6.1.2.1.31 / 1.3.6.1.2.1.4).
I use Cacti as LMS for the graph, in cacti I have the graph for the devices, but in LMS in the Topology Services, the router stay in red and in state Unreachable.Do you know what is the mechanism used by LMS to see the state of a device and which MIB or OID do I have to open on the routers?
I show up at this business. They have about 40-50 systems. They have a 2003 AD server with a router, and 4 switches. There is also a dvr system on the network for cameras. Each switch is daisy chained together. Everything is working correctly except for the fact that the network drops about 5 times a day. Before they called us, they would just unhook one switch and plug it back in and it would work. At first, we took that switch and exchanged it with another switch in a computer lab to see if just the computer lab goes down. If it did, then that switch was bad. That wasn't the case, the whole network still went down. We had already left, but when we go back, our first choice will to see if there is a loop anywhere within the switch that will flood the network. Then, we were going to see if there was a switch that was getting a lot of traffic on the network to try to track it down. How can u monitor the bandwidth on the switches? They are 24 port switches. The switch is fs750/24 switch.
I am aware there is a feature request but don't see any updates. Taking the chance here that its fallen through the cracks and someone has figured out another way to monitor inspection load on ASA-SSM-20 IPS. We are currently running 7.0(5a)E4. I want to be able to use Solarwinds Orion to monitor Inspection Load on our IPS devices.
I want to monitor my 7200's CPU packets per second rate.Any command i can run to show this?Or any MIB so I can poll this? 7200 NPE-G1 can handle 1mpps. And i want to verify the actual rate.
