Cisco Switching/Routing :: 891W ISR / Can't Get SSID To Broadcast
May 27, 2012
I'm working with some 891W's that have the internal 800-series AP. I have this router set up initially using Cisco Config Express, then, using Cisco Config Professional 2.5 I set up the firewall and other featuress that CCE doesn't do. Overall this is a very simple router, meant to be a small business Internet gateway device but is currently in my lab.
The intended WLAN setup is very simple. One SSID, with broadcast enabled, using WPA2-Personal. Auth: open Encryption is both TKIP and AES-CCM.
However no matter what I do I cannot get thhis thing to broadcast . In the past I had sometimes run into issues where if I had more than one AP running independently it would cause a channel conflict and one or both would cancel each other's radio, so I disabled all other AP's in my vicinity.
Also I've had issues in the past where f I enabled both TKIP and AES, sometimes clients can't find the AP as a result. My solution had been to disable one of them leaving just the other - no change here however.
Via the IOS, ssid config shows mbssid guest-mode which I believce is default.
Interestingly, if I do the following:
ap# Config t
ap(config)# dot11 ssid <myssid>
ap(config - ssid)#guest-mode
end
I end up with both "guest-mode" and "mbssid guest-mode" in the sh run for the AP, and voila, my AP broadcasts the SSID. However clients end up joining without any security at all, no prompts for pre-shared key or anything.

I have a client that that is installing a new network. They have requested the use of an CISCO891W-AGN-A-K9 mostly to be consistent with upgrades perfomed at other sites. I agree with the use of this router, so that's OK. The issue is that they have requested that I use the integrated PoE available on this model. I'm also OK with this as it will make a much neater installation. However, I can't seem to find much information on how to get the integrated PoE. I need clarification as to whether I can get a kit to upgrade this router. I generally purchase from sites like newegg or cdw (I'm an independent contractor) and I can't seem to find one with it. I have found some information on 800-IL-PM-4 and 800-ILPM-4 (who could confuse those ). Are they the same or different? Which one is the correct one and does it include the AC power adapter and can if be retro'ed into a router without the PoE?

I believe I have the steps done at the IOS to config the WAN port for SSH, but I still can't connect to it. I have "logging console 7" on so I am able to see that the router is dropping my TCP session requests. I figure this is just the built-in zone-based firewall at work.
Is there a very straightforward process, via the IOS, to allow SSH inbound on the WAN port? I'm not very familiar with the IOS other than basics so while I know how to do things like "transport input ssh" and "login local" and such on the vty 0 4 line, I have no idea whatsoever on what I should do with the firewall stuff. I believce the WAN interface is already a member of the outside zone though so I imagine one just has to somehow include ssh (preferably on a non-standard port) in the exceptions on the firewall somehow.
I have been poking around for a step-by-step IOS guide for this but only find info on configuring SSH itself but not how to open the firewall to allow the connection for it through.

I have an 891w as my edge device for my home office. I have a VLAN for family use (wired and wireless) that routes out to the internet just fine. I have a second VLAN assigned to a VPN tunnel that backhauls traffic to my corporate network (wired and wireless) and all of the traffic gets to the corporate network fine when I am on that VLAN.
However, while I am on the VPN VLAN, no traffic gets to the internet. I believe it is because I have the gateway of last resort (0.0.0.0) set to the WAN IP address provided by my ISP, so DNS is resolving against corporate, but because there is no specific route, it is trying to dump the traffic back out the WAN without traversing the VPN tunnel.

I'm new to using Cisco Config Professional Express but a lot of things are just "off" with this utility. But my problem for this post is specifically the 891W's internal access point, or initial access to it.
My situation is that I have some 891W's. It's my first time working with them, as well as with CCP Express (2.5). After isolating the router and my PC to their own network, using the IP my PC got via DHCP frmo the router I opened a web broswer and connected to the router. The initiial configuration wizard came up and I went through the various screens. One of those screens had basic config info for the internal wireless AP which I provided. Somewhere in that screen it asked for a Hostname for the AP, and a password. It doesn't askfor a username though. To ensure I wouldn't run into confision, I made sure to set every password I ever get asked to configure as the same thing so the AP's password was also the same.
However after I finish with the wizard, the java-based CCP Express begins prompting me for first the main router credentials which I provide and it gets the router config, then it prompts mefor the username/password for the Access Point. First of all, the initial config wizard had never asked me for the username for the access point, only the hostname, and the password. I had assumed it was just going to use the main router username, or perhaps a blank username.
In any case, nothing I type ever works. I've used cisco/cisco, or a blank username with my new password, or the same username as the main router with the password ---- nothing. This is now the 4th time I have completely Reset the router to factory defaults and while I am learning the use of CCP Express through repetition, I'd also like to get this thing configured and out the door so my customer can use it.

I am trying to configure the FE8 (WAN port) to connect to the Internet. We're swtiching ISP'ssoon so this router was set up at my office and has since been deployed at the client site. So far it is just plugged in and powered, with a console cable attached but no LAN cabling since this router will replace an existing one using the same addressing (except the WAN settings of course). So for now I am just focused on working on the WAN side since I have the ISP's cable modem attached . I had intiially used CP Express to config the wan port with an IP and mask and the various port forwarding options I intend to use. Now, connected via console cable, I tried pinging the IP of the wan port, which works. Beyond that, can't ping anyting (8.8.8.8 - a Google IP), also can't resovle any DNS names which makes sense with no apparent connectivity. Likely my config is just imcomplete. Nowhere in sh run do I see a Default Gateway, yet this ISP did specify one so I assume I need to enter it. Not sure what's the right way - I get confusing results on searches telling me either to use ip default-gateway or ip default-network. I want to think that it's as simple as entering in the IP but so far I've learned with the IOS that you never do anythign without knowing all the possible implications, which I don't. Also while I am at it, I don't know what I should have for DNS entries. This router will not be a DNS server for any internal systems that function will be managed by the two Windows 2008 R2 DNS machines. The ISP has also provided two IP's for their DNS servers. I thought it would be a simple matter of just adding two entrires via ip name-server command, which I did. So now I have four entries, first the two internal servers (inaccessible currently due to no LAN cabing to this router), and the two ISP servers. Can't ping those either, but again there's no default gateway.

I have an 891W router that requires a firmware update to fix a bug wth the internal AP where all you get when accessing it via the CP Express ("Launch Wireless Application", which is just opening another web browser to your AP) is an Enter button. This issue seems to be common so I found a thread, though for the 881W (but same process) where the fix is to update the AP's firmware.
So I downloaded ap801-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JY.tar from cisco.com, set it up in my tftp server, and at the console ran the following from the router:
Router#service-module wlan-ap 0 session <enter>
This brings me to the AP.
I then type in:
InternalAP#archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://192.168.0.71/filename.tar <enter>
It seems to go through the process of re-imaging the fw but the end result now after it is done is that I cannot access the ap at all and the hostname has been screwed up. So now when I go to the AP (via Router#service-module wlan-ap 0 session <enter>), this is what I see:
AP6400.f177.d0ee>
If I type "enable", I get no username prompt but I do get a password prompt, however my pw no longer works. Also the IP address of the AP (192.168.0.2=) is no longe rpingable.
I did save the log of the console session for the (failed??) firmware upgrade process - the only odd thing I recall was that it seemed like it was trying to enter part of the update process commands but instead the router was interpreting them as a DNS lookup or something. Kind of stupid process it seems but anyway I am quite lost. Don't know what it'ssuch a challenge to update firmware.

I have had trouble to verify the support wireless speed and band that CISCO891W-AGN-A-K9 supports. I saw on a vendor website that it supports a max wireless transmission speed of 54Mbps but this seems low for what is supposed to be the current model wireless router which is supports 802.11n. What the maximum supported wireless speed and whether 5Ghz is supported? Plus I am thinking about purchasing it for my home wireless network (upgrading from an 871W).

I have an 891w that started acting up recently. Radio dot11 0 is reporting its a b radio. When it is actually an n 2.4 radio. Of course that radio is not allowing any clients to connect to it at this time. I have tried updating the firmware to the latest, tried a hardware reset but still a nogo.
sh interface output.
Dot11Radio0 is up, line protocol is down
Hardware is 802.11B Radio, address is 0000.0000.0000 (bia 0000.0000.0000)

I have an 891W that I initially configured using CCP Express (2.5). So it has a WAN IP set, and through CCP Express I had enabled via the checkboxes the various default settings for security. This includes zone-based firewall. I then added a number of NAT entries in the setup wizard.
What never occured to me at the time was that I should have added entries that allow for remote access. So it seems I've locked myself out of accessing the router via the WAN interface even though I know it's IP. I'm sure it's just a matter of adding port exceptions for SSH and/or whatever port(s) CCP uses.
So I"m wondering what the proces woudl be. In the IOS while showing the running config., I see pages and pages of class-map stuff which at present I don't know enough about to risk editing anything directly. But maybe I don't have to? What would be the best way to, for example, enable SSH access through the firewall? I already have transport input ssh set on the interface itself so I believe it's ready to allow the connection, just that I can't get to it via WAN int. so I assume it's the firewall.

I am using Cisco WLC 2504 for provisioning Wireless Connectivity over my Wired Environment. Have deployed 4 Access Points spanning my entire campus as per Customer Requirements. Created 10 SSIDs for Different Networks. Would like to know if there is any possibility of Broadcasting say a particular SSID XYZ on only two or 3 Access Points and keep broadcast disabled on Others.
integrating the authentication on these SSIDs using Active Directory Domain Credentials.

Everytime I disable SSID Broadcasting 2 extra wireless connections appear available connections list. (See wirelessconnections.jpg) One is blank and one is labeled Other Network. They disappear when I enable SSID Broadcasting. I am not sure why this is happening.

I'm using a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller 5508, 14x Access Points 1041 and 6x Access Points 1031 in combination with a NCS 1.0.
Is it possible to broadcast SSID'S only on defined Access Points, e.g. AP 1-3,7-10,18? If yes, what have I to do?

I just set up a brand new LinksysE4200 router at one end of my home, and a Linksys RE1000 range expander at the other end in order to provide full WiFi coverage to my entire house. Everything is working great except for one important detail.. There is currently no way to disable SSID broadcast on the RE1000 range expander! I just flashed it with the latest firmware (v1.0.01 build 2, Jul 22, 2011) , but I'm still unable to disable it, even though it is disabled on the E4200 from which it's receiving the signal it's rebroadcasting. I am seriously considering returning the RE1000. Linksys. add the ability to disable SSID broadcast on the RE1000 in a (not too distant) future firmware upgrade! As far as I'm concerend, this is a MUST HAVE feature in order for this product to even be considered for use in any sensitive network environment.

EA3500, I'm using the Smart Wi-Fi interface through a browser. How do I make my router broadcast the SSID? I think it was when I was setting up using the old interface, before updating the firmware, that I set it to *not* broadcast the network name. Now I feel like I've been all through the menus twice on the Smart Wi-Fi interface, and can't find the on/off toggle.

We have a cisco 2500 wireless controller with LAPs.Our devices require Broadcasting to be enabled. So I had to enabe broadcast forwarding under the Controller tab.It appears this option is a global seeting. Is there a way to enable Broadcast Forwading for an specific WLAN or SSID?Can we isolate broadcast data to an SSID or a WLAN?

why my SSID still displays even though I have the SSID Broadcast "Disabled" for 5 GHz and 2.4Ghz configurations. The name of my network shows full signal strength and a lock next to the name but I was under the impression if I have disabled the SSID broadcast it shouldn't show up at all and would force a user to manually input the network name when trying to connect to it. I have the router configured to only allow certain MAC addresses wireless access as well. Router is running Firmware Version: 1.0.03.Also, my primary computer my iMac running 10.7.2 boots up or is brought out of sleep mode I constantly need to go up to the top of my screen and re-select my network.

I was quite excited about E4200 I got yesterday. Everything works perfect except front LED light start blinking a few hours later. Don't know why it happens in a sudden and non-stop. After several tries, I found that disabling SSID broadcast for both 2.4 and 5GHz stops the blinking.Of course, before doing that, I upgraded firmware to 1.0.02, reset to factory defaults and finally set up E4200 manually rather than using Cisco Connect. Now the LED light is continuously lit.
