We have 1242-AG series AP which is configured in Rogue Detector mode. After adding this AP to WLC its showing Admin Status of AP as Down.
When i am trying to enable the Admin Status its giving me following error
" Admin status cannot be enabled for AP in Rogue Detector mode".
how to enable Admin Status for Rogue Detector AP.
If you deploy a Cisco 1242 a/b/g access point as a rogue detector, can this be used for 802.11n wired detection as well.i.e Will the controller send the MAC addresses of the 802.11n clients and APs. url...

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have around 70 1131's on our 4404 WLC and there are around 5 of them which always seem to reset themselves to Admin Status = Disable. They are in H-REAP mode as are all the other AP's, but for some reason I have to keep going in and setting the Admin Status of the AP to Enable. This has been occuring across different firmaware versions since 4, we are currently running 7.

If we try to delete rogue AP's under MONITOR > Rogues with Remove Selected then we get a error message Authorization Failed. No sufficient privileges. At first sight, it looks like the AP's are gone, but if you click on the same menu again, they are still there.
My ACS admin user has role1=ALL. I even tried to set role1=MONITOR, then I don't get the message above, but it is stated that I can not delete known rogue AP's.
I'm building the use case to test / detect for rogue devices on the network. I have in my enviroment Lan controller 5500 controller with AP (aironet 3500).

Authorize AP's against AAA function to make sure that all the AP's registering to your WLC are authorized AP's of the network.By enabling this feature, only those AP's whose mac-addresses are present in the authorization list, will be able to register to the WLC. url...
Using Rogue detection. feature, the WLC will be able to detect any AP that is not a part of its RF group and contain it. url...the forum I have seen other talks about the same issue and saying that if I have any APs in "Rogue Detection" mode sitting on the trunk port on the switch then only, this AP will detect the Rogue on Wired.
I have the wireless controller 5508 and many AP1261 registered on site. It detects a lot of rogue access points around. I would like to find out geographic location of these rogue access points. Is it possible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 5508 controller with 70 AP's ( a mix of 1131 and 1142). On the Monitor tab I can see under the Rogue Summary numerous "Rogue AP's" as well as the clients associated to these AP's. There are no Rogue AP's on my wired network according to the report. My question is this: What actions should I take regarding these "Roague AP's"? Many of them appear to be just other AP's in the residential area near by. I know I can take action to classify them as Friendly or Malicious as well as Internal or External, but what benefit is there to doing this? Will taking these actions keep my AP's from scanning off channel for Rogues? I read that if a "Rogue AP" is not on the wired network that is really is not considered a threat. Any Cisco best practices regarding how to handle detected Rogue AP's ?

Is there a way within the wcs or wlc to determine better if any of these rogue AP are on my Lan?If I can locate the mac address of the ethernet port on the rogue AP I can track the port down on the appropriate switch & shut it down.
I'm using two cisco 1242 AG access points to configure WDS feature. I've named the accesspoints as AP1(acts as WDS) and AP2. Since I've only two accesspoints, I've configured the AP1 to act both as a WDS and as a regular accesspoints.Further I'm using the local radius server within the AP1 to authenticate both clients and infrastructure accesspoints. And both APs are connected to a router (which act as a dhcp server) via a unmanageble switch and both accesspoints are getting registered with WDS.But the issue is when I tried to connect to the configured SSID, it promts me a "authentication window" but after entering the configured username and password, i'm not getting authenticated by the AP.
I've attached the configurations of both APs to for your reference and I've used the following cisco document as a guideline to crate the WDS. [code]
I'm having a little issue with some Cisco Aironet1242ag WAP's. I receive a call at least twice a month stating that some of the WAP's are not giving out internet connection. What I always do is go to my patch panel and disconnect those WAP's not working and connect them back again so they can power cycle. These WAP's are connected to a Cisco3750g. Once the WAP's boot up, the users can connect to the WAP and connect to the internet.
I don't know if these WAP's are filling up with some information that causes the access points to not connect to the WAN.
I've been noticing a Belkin router on my network for a while now and just yesterday another Linksys router as join the party, causing havoc on my connection speed!
The strange thing is that I'm the only one seeing them through Norton on my laptop, all other computer on my home network is not detecting them. could this mean that someone is monitoring me? is possible? If I move permanently to Ubuntu linux would the problem go away? OR will they still be able to connect and monitor me?
Is it possible to make a bridge using a 1242 and a 1310? I have been able to get them to associate together and it appears it will function as a bridge. I have the 12(4) 253 JA IOS for both devices. I would like to use the g antenna on the 1242 for the bridge and the a antenna for wireless clients. The configuration on the web management appears to support bridge root and non root for both devices.

I have 3 Cisco 1242 WAPs that I have deployed at a site that has NO RADIUS/AAA devices. I have given all of them a different channel (1,6,11), but the same SSID and crypto (WPA2-PSK). The issue is when a machine boots up it associates with the closest/strongest AP, but as the device "roams" it does not which to a different AP. It stays associated with the original AP until that signal is gone. Then it quickly associates with the closest AP with no problem.
How do I get the device to associate with the strongest WAP? I have research "fast roaming and WDS" but it seems like you need EAP/LEAP and they do NOT have that at all.
What tool can I use to accurately pin point a rogue dhcp server in our network?

If I plug any computer directly into the underground cable it connects to the server fine.
If I plug a switch into the cable, none of the computers connected to the switch gets an IP address from the server. When I try to assign manual IP addresses I also can't connect.
But when I use the same switch and plug it into the server using a shorter cable everything works.
I have Eight AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9's accross our site that have 2 SSID's and 2 VLAN's that work well, I want to link one of the AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9 to another one using 5ghz patch antennas across a 50 metre gap, but I am puzzled on how to do this, as to create a root bridge and a non route bridge link I need to put the infrastucture SSID on and this must be on VLAN1 but I want the traffic from both VLANs to pass over this link. I just want to ensure the config will work as I need to go into a cherry picker to get to the non-root-bridge.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe currently have 8 1242's and they all work fine, however we recently baught one 2nd hand one which was previously connected to a WLC, it lights up fine but it wont detect in IPSU even though the dhcp has assigned an IP to it. I would like to login through the web page to configure it but I am not able to do that either. It responds to ping fine though. So I no longer wont it be a LAP, so I tried to console in, to run flash_init etc. but when I try and give the <ESC> command (during the flash loader) it just carries on and ignores all input. I have used the correct settings Baud rate 9600, no parity, no flow control , databits 8, etc. but nothing happens it just goes through the boot and then asks me to press enter to input. i can then browse the directories and rename files. but I just cant get it to holt the loader so I can reset, I tried rename of config.txt and env_vars but that has't worked either. It keeps stating that it is looking for LWAPP/CAPWAP but unfortunately we don't have a WLC Is there another way I can reset it or is there some magic way in whic I can send the ESC command.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI encounter a strange problem on several AP 1242 in version 12.4(25d)JA1 of a customer : He has 10 autonomous AP covering The APs loose LAN connectivity randomly and therefore the clients don't work anymore. The AP are connected on a 2960 and a 3560 wich are in turn connected on a 3750 wich route the trafic.After checking spanning-tree no loops are present. When I check the counters on the AP involved I see the "trhottles" and "ignored" counters incrementing on the fa0 link of the AP impacted wich mean I think it can't handle the incoming traffic. This incoming traffic seems not to be too big however. I can see drops on the switch interface connecting the AP.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently have access points located throughout our warehouse that use the AIR ANT5160V-R antenna's from Cisco. These AP's are 25' in the air. However we have a lot of voice quality issues off of the 5Ghz band, we do no other services on this band as we keep data on the 2.4Ghz.This was all installed by a vendor but from what I am seeing on the documentation [URL] the cover is extremely poor for these antennas despite AP's everywhere. They cover side to side but aren't a well rounded AP at all.it seems like the AIR-ANT5145V-R would be better suited even though this is a warehouse.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAt intermittent times, we will have a single device start to "hide" behind a 1242 bridge.In the past, my team would reload or reboot the bridge, and everything would come back up.But the 90 seconds of lost data were causing problems.
I found the the WB was always available.So I would ping the hidden device from the WB, and it would ping.Next, I showed the ARP table, and got the MAC address of the hidden device.Then, I would start a ping from my PC, and leave it running. Constant "Destination Unreachables" from the router.Next, I showed the bridging table for F0, and sometimes the device would be there, sometimes not. I would add a forwarding bridging entry manualy, and exit conf.
Showing the briding table would show the device, with a "P"ermanent age, but still no pinging.Finally, I would remove the forwarding briding entry, and pings would start within a couple of seconds.During these periods, outbound UDP packets will continue to be forwarded from the PC.So, my managers want to convert everything to UDP, which is a potential disaster in my opinion.

However, I now have a number of devices... certain smartphones so far... that will NOT connect to a FlexConnect AP if it's a 1262AGN AP, but my older 1242G AP will accept the devices without issue. Same SSID, same encryption standards.
If I connect the devices to my guest network (no security), they will connect just fine to both APs, and Non-FlexConnect 1242 and 1262 APs will both accept the devices without issue using my private network.
In other words, it seems to be an issue specific to 1262AGN with my encryption security. My security is WPA2/AES with PSK. No additional security on the SSID.
