is it possible to manage a air-ap1262n with a controller like wlc 5500 or wlc 2500? the official cisco support could not answer me this question for sure. i have found this old guide to upgrade ap´s to lap´s, but there is hothing about the 1260 in it. [URL]
i am a little bit confused!
the cisco documents tells:

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.
So what we do when we get new laptops, we "prime" it by connecting to the lan via a cable, name the machine and join the domain. This way it automatically gets the certificate and is a domain member. After logging on at least once via a cable, we can then disconnect it and join the wireless network.
During a routine audit, they suggest also using MAC address filtering. I think this is overkill and an administrative nightmare. To manage MAC address filtering on the 5508 and then also manage the domain accounts is unnecessary. Also down the road we want to offer a segregated public hotspot (webauth), and I'm not sure if MAC address filtering would affect that or not.
I've read that MAC address filtering is pretty much useless, because it's so easy to change your mac address even in Windows device manager. I know I was able to do it as a test.
is MAC address filtering worth the hassle to implement and manage? Or is our current layered security approach enough?
I want to install a pair of 5508 to manage the whole wireless solution and I have a few questions regarding deployment, Please refer to the topology. The management and ap manager interfaces are conifgured with the same ip address range and thus the same vlan which is 10.160.254.X/24 also all the APs(1,2,3) in that building have the same IP address range for management which will be manually conifgured. The AP's (4 and 5) on the other building have another range of IP address for management and here is the first question. Will the AP's 4 and 5 join the WLC if I manually configure them to point to it? I know I can group interfaces and use them with the same SSID BUT the WLAN vlan in both sides are different and are separated by a router and hence the next question: Can this be done even if they are separated? and if I can, how is this possible, should I configure a dynamic interface in the WLC with an IP of that network even if it doesn't exists on that side? I'm kind of confused with this.
My current setup is an AP1262n located ~400 feet from my WAP321. I would like to take the wireless signal coming from the AP1262n and rebroadcast it using a WAP321. configuration setting on these two devices.
Recently installed a 1262N AP in autonomous mode. Have both 2.4 and 5Ghz radios running- Both on separate SSID and VLAN. I think I have 5Ghz channels using 40Mhz bands (bonded) but when I do iperf throughput test I only get about 25Mb throughput. I am sitting within 10 feet of the AP. When I switch to 2.4 I get around 60Mb and that's not bonded. I have tried multiple interfaces on my client side laptop I'm testing with since I thought maybe it was a quirky card or driver but I get same results. Am I doing something wrong here? My laptop shows a 300Mb connection to 5Ghz and 144Mb on 2.4Ghz but I know that's not true thorughput so that's why I was testing this to see what I was really getting and now I'm confused.
This is one of our first site where we are implementing Cisco wireless, and we bought some external Autonomous AP1262, when we should have bought Lightweight LAP1262 . We can get those replaced, but I am looking into migrating them in order to get them to register with our 5508 controllers.
There do not seem to be a migration tool to download for 1262. Must it be done via the WCS ?So far I have not managed to add these autonomous AP to the controllers. How to know if a migration toll exists for those !
we have a couple of AP1262N-E-K9 APs with firmware version 12.4(25d)JA1 operating in autonmous mode. One AP is setup as repeater while all others are in root mode.
The repeater has setup one parent MAC address so it associates every time to the same parent root AP. Given this setting, I am logging into the repeater via SSH and start the antenna-alignment scan: "dot11 dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment timeout 4"
During this scan, the repeater disconnects from its parent to perform the scan so no output is visible at the SSH console. After the scan is finished, the repeater re-associates to its parent and some output appears on the SSH console.
8 of 10 times this procedure works fine: the scan is finished and I can continue entering commands on the SSH console. However, in some cases the repeater is not reachable any more for about 7 minutes. I.e. pings to the repeater's IP address are unsuccessful and the SSH connection hangs until it is automatically disconnected after a timeout. Also, the web configuration interface is not reachable. After about 7 minutes everything works fine.
we have a couple of AP1262N-E-K9 APs with firmware version 12.4(25d)JA1 operating in autonmous mode. One AP is setup as repeater while all others are in root mode. My goal is to perform the antenna-alignment test through an SSH console on the repeater with a given timeout-value, e.g.:
"dot11 dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment timeout 4"
However, the behavior of this command is inconsistent as the timeout value is ignored in 20% of the tests. I.e. in 80% of all tests, the scan really runs only 4 s as specified using the "timeout" parameter. In the other 20% of the tests, the "timeout" parameter seems to be ignored: Often the antenna-alignment scan runs for about 140 seconds and in some cases even for 420 seconds. This is problematic as the access point is completely unavailable during the test, i.e. the configuration ssh/web interfaces are not reachable and no clients can associate to the access point. [URL]

I attempted to measure the signal quality between the APs by setting one device to repeater mode while all others are in root mode. Then, I execute the following command: dot11 Dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment
1. The output of "show dot11 antenna-alignment" is incorrect, the % value represents the signal strength in dBm without the - (minus). E.g. "-25 dBm" is displayed as "Signal 25% 0 dBm".Now, I know that is only a display error but still this is not clean. Is this a known issue?
2. Why are the measured signal strength values not displayed on the SSH console during the antenna-alignment test? Is it obligatory to use the console to see these values? Or is it also a known bug which might be fixed in later firmware versions?
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.
We have just replaced a 4507R for a 4507R-E but I can't RME to manage it. I also can't get Cisco View to work. We appear to have packages installed (see attachments).
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.
Is-it possible to manage Cisco phone by web interface? (Manage transfertdiversion... of IP phone)When i go to http://ip_cisco7961 and i give permissions in settings of user (web Access: Enabled)I have only information in read only.
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.
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.
I would like to know how I can split bandwidth between 4 work floors that have different needs. I have a network switch that can be managed (Cisco) but am not sure how I can set this up.
We have a dir-615 in our ong.We would like giving different permission to the users.I want that users can connect only to the ong network and other user may use internet.Today i don't know hou to do. I can block intretrnet access (with child control), but not for only selected user.
I am new to the 4710 appliance.Apart from the 4 GE 'data' ports, there are 2 Ethernet 'management' ("console") ports. I find the description in the "quick start guide"somewhat confusing. URL, Is a first-time serial connection (at least to run the initial config. script) mandatory? Or can you obtain the same result via one of the 2 Ethernet management ports and using a default ip address (192.168.1.10 ? When running the initial config. script (only possible from the serially connected console i suppose), you have to select your management port. Why does the system in step 5 proposes you 4 ports, and not just 2? I suppose the intended port for management is one of the 2 management ports, not one of the 4 data ports?
We have 6500 chassises in our set up. But using CWLMS 4.0 , we are unable to manage VSS feature of 6500.Also User tracking for Nexus 7K Switches subnets are not working.
I have a known working configuration with many sites and one operative center that receives all communications.The connection OF THE OLD SITE is here detailed:Now I need to integrate another site. The difference between the old site and the new site is the following:
-old site communicates with the operative center by means of the FE0/1 or by means of an HWIC4T serial interface. old site automatically switches between the tunnel on the ethernet interface (FE0/1) and the serial channel giving priority to the ethernet tunnel. -new site will communicate with the operative center by means of the FE0/1 or by means of a transceiver device connected on the FE0/0. -both new site and old site have a LAN on the FE0/0 where data is generated and sent to the router to be dispached to the best available channel.
The connection of THE NEW SITE is here detailed: the old site was configured this way: [code]
the first line means that everything starting from the client directed to 192.169.0.2 it will be sent on the tunnel1.the second line tries to route the same packets on serial0/0/0 with low priority.On the New site i did the same:
i created the tunnel form my cisco 2811 to the operative center using the FE0/1, then i added the following:ip route 192.169.0.2 255.255.255.255 Tunnel1
This works as expected routing the packets to the operative center on the FE0/1.Now I miss the second part: route packets on the FE0/0 to the ip address 192.168.1.31 WITH LOW PRIORITY like i did on the old site.
I did some tries but no one solves. Which is, in your opinion, the right command to add on the cisco2811 in order to get the equivalent of what i did on the old site ( ip route 192.169.0.2 255.255.255.255 Serial0/0/0 10 ) ?
I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. I was trying to get into the set up (using the IP listed in here [URL]) and it asked for a username and password. I have what I thought was the password but no idea what the username was. I tried Administrator and what I had written down as the password but nada. This was originally set up 9 years ago and 3 pc's ago.On the bottom of the router is listed Ownership ID, Device ID, and a serial numb.
As DCS-942L IP cam is compatible with "NVSCGI APIs" (search this string on a search engine and you will find some useful PDF docs), many features of this IP Cam may be enabled or disabled using any web browsers, for example we can manage the motion detect.
I have a 20MB internet connection, with a 100GB cap. My mother works at home, with some employees. Adding home and work, 8 people use the internet all the time. Lots of Youtube videos, streaming netflix, iTunes downloading, and so on.I wanted something to:
1) Manage this cap. It's over too soon, and we're left with a poor internet connection until the end of the month - like 500kb.
2) Something to manage two internet connections.
I was thinking about a dedicated router - I currently use a WRT54G V8, which is nice, but it has some issues handling the traffic when the internet is in its full glory. I heard about pfSense, and some searches on Google tell me it's possible to do both options using it.
