Cisco Wireless :: 1142 Autonomous AP Wireless N Configuration
Jun 20, 2012
I have a wireless install using several standalone 1142 Access Points. Yes, I know it would be better to use a WLC, but there isn't one and no funds to install one, so I have to work with what's there...
I'd like to configure the 1142's for wireless N connectivity. Yes, I know I need to ensure WPA/PSK is the security used as WPA/AES, the default option in the CLI won't be happy with wireless N.Currently I am running them in B/G only and they work just fine with WPA/AES. No issues are reported by the users, but of course I'd like to get them running N for the increased throughput so I need to kniow the CLI steps required.

I have an 1142 running capwap c1140-k9w8-tar.124-23c.JA4 that I am wanting to convert to an Autonomous AP.However, the AP does not seem to have an archive exec command to tftp downoad an new IOS.Is there another procedure that should be used ?

I am trying to provision three 1142 AP's so they broadcast multiple SSIDs. I have set the following commands, but I am not able to get more than one SSID to broadcast. As you can see I added the "guest-mode" command to one of the SSIDs which took it without problems. That other SSID does not accept the command.
dot11 ssid Test
vlan 2
authentication open

I converted a Cisco Aironet 1142 Lightweight access point to Autonomous and at first it works properly but every some days the dot11Radio0 interface is down (similar case than the cisco support community case "Autonomous 1142 AP shuts down 2.4 radio interface"
The 802.11g radio shows as “Dot11Radio0 is reset, line protocol is down” while the 802.11a radio appears to be up and running,
I have to reload the device so that the Dot11Radio0 is up again,

When we take a look at the internal antennas on the 1142 AP, we notice the 5ghz pointed all the same way, but for the 2.4ghz we can see each offset by 45/120 degrees. It was my understanding that all antennas are omnidirectionals on the 1142, why are those 2.4ghz antennas not all pointed the same way? onfiguration advantage and that each antenna is indeed omnicadirectional? Example, if I shut just one antenna off, do I lose a sector (120degree)?

I have some 1142-lap that i have to deploy in my office.
I have successfully deployed 5 out of 8 LAPs . Actually the LAPs was not discovering the controller automatically.
So i had to configure the Controller ip adress through the console in tha AP using the CAPWAP command. Then the AP promptly associates with the controller. Later on i configure the AP name - Primary , Secondary , Tertiary Controllers and everything else and saved it on the controller. This worked out well for the 5 LAPs that i had.
But started facing a peculiar problem with the rest three
As soon as i disconnect the AP from my desk and have it mounted on the celing , to my surprise if find that the LAP doesnt retain its configuration and also doesnt associate with the Controller.
Cant imagine what could be the issue.
I have been told that one CANT wite/save any configuration manually on tha LAP using the console, except by associating it with the controller. Is it a fault with the AP ( as the other APs are working absolutely fine)

I have an Aironet 1142 access point.
Is it possible to direct it to a webfilter hardware firewall for internet access. For example the IP of the firewall with webfiltering capabilties would be 192.168.0.1
We are hoping to provide customer wifi web access but need to filter what they can access.

We have a couple of autonomous 1262's that I'd like to get configured. I would like to put the Ethernet interface out on our Internet subnet and have the clients get a RFC 1918 address from the radio's. Our little Linksys is setup this way and the clients are PAT'ing off the Ethernet interface when they go to the Internet.
Is this possible with these guys or do I have to put the AP ethernet interface into the same subnet with the DHCP scope? I don't have enough Internet IP's to hand out to every wireless client.

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.

We have recently aquired a remote location which has a pre-existing flat network (172.16.X.X/16). Before we are able to convert them over to our new IP scheme, they have a need to have wireless connectivity on site. We have 4 1142's which I need to configure for them. I have experience configuring WLC's and autonomous AP's for networks with multiple vlans but have never configured AP's for a flat, single subnet network. I need to configure them for either guest access (internet only) or corporate access to network resources with radius authentication. Do I configure a native vlan as I would for a typical multi vlan network? Do I configure the switch port as an access port as opposed to a trunk beacause of the lack of layer 3? I basically need a sample configuration for this situation.

I can't seem to get the SSID RadiusTest to work properly.
Windows PC's show "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you into the network". Macs don't authenticate either. Radius server isn't seeing any requests at all. Radius server is working because we are authenticating other things to it.
On my test 1231, IOS is 12.3(8) JEB1.

I can't get connectivity from laptop to AP using cross over or straight through cable to do a tftp transfer from tftp server on laptop to ap.
I held the mode button on ap and powered on to get to rommon. The ap has no ios so it goes to rommon anyway. ap light is blinking red.
ap: set

I just converted AP 1142 to LAP using the image "c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar".
The WLC is a 5500 with 2 NIC : one on 192.168.0/24, one on a specific vlan 10.20/16
The main management interface is on 192.168/24 but we defined as management the interface on the 10.20/16 network.
For the access points, we use ports on a native VLAN on 10.20/16 with other available VLANS which are used for the wlan networks
We have 1152 APs which work fine on this config but that needed to be registered on the 192.168/24 network, then we moved them in their VLAN 10/20/16 and they work fine.
We also have 1142 APs which have been upgraded to LAP. These AP do not work with our architecture. They register correctly on the 192.168/24 network, but do not give access to the wlan VLANs. If they are moved in the 10.20/16 network, they don't register to the WLC (message : Timed out while waiting for ECHO repsonse from the AP). The AP do not get an IP.
is there a restriction with VALNs on these AP ? or is something false ?

I have an 1142 AP that I am unable to set back to factory defaults.Here is what I have done so far:
- boot AP while holding down the mode button
- ap: delete flash:private-multiple-fs
- yes
- ap: boot
- when the AP boots fully I try and enter any lwap ap commands and get "ERROR!!! Command is disabled"
- the AP name and password were reset to defaults but I am unable to get the IP address cleared.
I've also tried "clear lwapp private-config" and get an error saying the command is disabled.

I need to convert some 1142 APs to lightweight mode. They will connect to controllers running 7.3.101.0. I noticed there's two options of Lightweight IOS code available c1140-k9w8-tar.152-2.JA.tar and c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JA.tar. Whats the difference between the two versions of code?

I recently purchased another 1142 AP to expand out our current wireless infrastructure, my question is, what exactly needs to be done for this to work so that users can roam freely and auto-connect to the closet AP with the best connection without getting disconnected?
I have set all the settings the exact same on the new AP to match the existing AP. (How to save the configs into a file would be great, I am not sure how to do that)... But anyhow, before I launch it, I would like to be sure I am correct so I do not bring down the existing network. Of course, the only difference between the 2 are the IP addresses. AP1 is 192.168.2.2 and AP2 is 192.168.2.3
All computers are using Linksys Wireless-N cards.

The last three new APs I have received from our supplier (official Cisco 1142 LAPs) have all successfully connected to our 4400 series WLCs but are all reporting as being in an Operational Status of 'Down' ie their A/B/G/N radios are not broadcasting even though the APs are all in an enabled state. Furthermore, there is no steady green light showing on the APs - there is no light showing whatsoever (although they were displaying the familiar red-orange-green lights while they were pulling down the IOS images from the WLCs).
The only strange thing I have noticed is that in the AP config screen, the ‘Mini IOS version’ is shown as being v7.3.x. The other – working APs – we have of the 1142 series show v3.x. I know that controller code v7.2 and above only work with the newer 5500 and 7500 series WLCs. Could this be the issue and have any of you seen this issue previously? I am running WLC code v7.0.230.0.

I have WLC 2540 and AP 1142..i have configure them both and got connected(WLC can detect the AP) yesterday then i turn off them both and now when i powered up , the WLC cant detect the AP but AP and WLC can still ping each other they communicated at layer 2, both WLC and AP in one IP segment.
here some debug from AP

About every 20 minutes 12 of 300 APs keep rebooting. I have tried moving them to different controllers. I have tried downgrading the code and then upgrading the code. I have tried replacing the AP. I have tried swamping out cables. They are all connected to a 3750 stack but plugged into different switches in the stack. Here is the result that I could capture when I saw it disconnect from the controller. This is the output from the AP:
DTLS-5-SEND_ALERT: Send FATAL : Close notify Alert to 10.100.40.212:5246
*Jul 28 14:33:19.595: %WIDS-5-DISABLED: IDS Signature is removed and disabled.

I have removed the ip addresses for security reasons.

I am a bit confused of the repeater functionality in the mentione AP, my concerns are:
1- Will each radio be dedicated to one function (for example 2.4 GHz for user access and 5.0 GHz for repeater functionality)?
2- Will the internet speed for users be affected when using the access point in repeater mode (no ethernet)?
3- Can an Autonomous AP function as a repeater?
4- Is there any license required?
5- What is the signal overlap requirements between the two Wired and non Wired AP?
6- Can the non wired AP be work as a repeater for another non wired AP (similar to cascading)?

I have recently been adding a number of installed APs to heatmaps in NCS and am very confused as to the correct Azimuth and Elevation settings.
In particular - if the AP is mounted on a wall rather than a ceiling what should the settings be ( and does it matter - perhaps - as NCS is now dynamic by default rather than the old WCS being predictive perhaps it does ).
Any guide for this covering the following common installation locations.
All referenced when looking at the map view in NCS, front of AP is the side with the Cisco logo and the status LED:-
1. AP ceiling mounted ( Backplate pointing out of map towards your eyes - front of AP pointing down to floor )
2. AP wall mounted ( front of AP pointing upwards towards the top bezel of the screen )
3. AP wall mounted ( front of AP pointing right towards the right bezel of the screen )
4. AP wall mounted ( front of AP pointing down towards bottom bezel of screen )
5. AP wall mounted ( front of AP pointing left towards left bezel of screen )

After some searching I see many people using power injectors or switches that supploy PoE. I am building a lab for the CCNA Wireless and currently have an old Cisco 3550 PoE switch and a 2106 Controller that I got at a steal of a price. My question is, The 1142 can use the 15.4 Inline Power from the 3550 even though it is not the 802.11af standard correct? If it doesn't then I will need to order a power brick.

I have an ipad that is not able to connect to a 1142 Autonomous AP. This AP was originally a light weight AP and then downgraded to autonomous.A strange thing i see is that the AP shows me only two radios. 802.11 N(2.4 GHZ) and 802.11 N(5 GHZ). I suspected the AP not to support the b/g networks. i then downloaded the most recent software but i still cannot get it to connect and on the AP's GUI i only see the above two mentionned radios. i tried to connect to two SSID's. one using WPA2 and another with open authentication and no security.but this does not work. Is it possible that some 1142 do not support b/g networks?

We have approximately 150 1142 LWAPP's deployed in our facility. Recently we started getting complaints about speed issues (90% are using G 10% N). Upon investigating we found that the speeds are fluctuating rapidly. Everything from 54Mbps down to 1Mbps and back up again. I've confirmed that this will happen while standing next to an AP (and confirming connectivity to it), however I cannot find anything wrong or anything that has changed with our configuration. We are a large facility and it is happening all over the campus, so I'm fairly certain it isn't any type of 'normal' interference.

I've noticed that I've had to prime a lot of the 1142 devices. When attached to the network they not seem to find the controller. The subnet has the scope option and I have other 1142s working but recent ap's seem to not work unless primed.

We have deployed a WLC 5508 w/ SW version 6.0.199.4, 1142 AP's & open authentication w/ MAC filtering. Clients are randomly getting dropped with "Limited Access" shown in Win 7. In this state, the client machine is unable to ping the gateway and sometimes lose their DHCP assigned IP as well. A manual disconnect/re-connect to the SSID is required everytime.I ran a debug on one the clients stuck in the "Limited Access" state (debug client xx:xx:xx:xx):
