Cisco Wireless :: 1242 - FlexConnect Client Connectivity
May 31, 2013
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.

I have one WLC 2504 with 7.3.101.0 code and 4 APs 1142 in Flexconnect mode all of them are in one group with 2 SSIDs in two differents VLAN:
-Admin VLAN 151
-Corporate VLAN 158
-Guest VLAN 159
-The auth is 802.1x using an ACS ver 4.2
I connect my Laptop to the corporate SSID and start to have access to web services, intranet services, etc but arround 15 25 min after i connect i lost connectivity to my GW and all the services but i still have my IP info. I do some tests on MAC books, Laptop with Windows XP, 7 and 8 and its the same for all. I config one switch port in the corporate VLAN and i never loose connectivity.
If i reset the WLAN connection all start to works.The ports in the SW are in trunk mode and almost always the APs are in connect mode.

I 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.

What kind of hardware are people using for mobile bridges? I have not had good luck with Cisco 1242's in bridge mode with mobile-client enabled. The only reason we're using the Cisco access point over standard industrial bridges is because we need to manually forward the mac addresses of the devices behind the bridge. These are being installed on robotic forklifts. They have a generic ethernet scrolling marquee installed that does not maintain any active connections and drops from the fowarding table in the bridge if not staticly configured. I'm looking for an alternative because the roaming is not nearly as smooth as it should be.

Having an issue with my WLC 5500 and client connectivity. This just started today. Clients will connect for a short period of time and then drop off. WLC appears fine with the exception of a bunch of trap errors. I've rebooted the WLC but this did not clear the issue.

I have a problem configuring ClientLink on a FlexConnect local switching AP (3602i), the problem is that I can not see the clients that are using the ClientLink feature when entering the show interface dot11radio 1 lbf rbf command, the AP shows "Hardware beamforming stats not supported (radioid 0x3B00)" message instead of show the client information. I am using a 2504 Wireless LAN Controller running 7.3.101.0 software version, why is not working properly?

A customer have a bad coverage in a corner of his branch office. He like to add a mesh AP (MAP) in the near of that corner.
I checked allready the documention about Mesh but i'm not sure if Flexconnect and Mesh works togheter. This MAP is in a branch office and the WLC is in the head quarter therefore he likes to uses Flexconnect togheter with Mesh.

A customer of mine has a centralized 2504 WLC with 7.2 code running. They have 1142N APs deployed locally as well as in remote sites (3) in FlexConnect mode. For no apparent reason last Thursday all the remote APs disassociated with the controller and could not rejoin. All the local APs remained up and unaffected.No changes to the WLAN, LAN, Firewall or MPLS WAN occured to cause this.The customer opened a TAC case and their determination was that ports 5246-5247 were not getting thru. When the customer engaged me this morning I had him run a packet capture on the Sonicwall firewall to prove out if the CAPWAP signals were leaving and returning across the WAN. Sure enough we can see this bi-directional traffic (pic attached). Also, I had the MPLS provider run a trace at the far end and they see the same traffic leave the remote site. And then an odd thing happened; one of the APs at one of the remote sites all of a sudden Joined the controller. So I tried rebooting the AP that is located in the same office, and it fails to Join. When I look on the controller under AP Join statistics, the last activity shows the controller receiving a Discovery Request and response is sent, but no further Config Request and response or Join Request and response.

We have a problem when I call bettween two 7925 in same SSID, VLAN voice. They cannot hear each other. The SSID and LAPs are in Flexconnet. From desk phones there are no problem and betwen one deskphone and one wireless phone there no problem too.

I want to use the flexconnect in the same network where the wlc is located. Normally we will do it for over WAN and branch office. But I want to use in the same main office to avoid more bandwidth utilization on my distribution layer. Wlc is connected on Distribution switch.I want to do local switching in the access layer switch.
The below is the sample topology. But real topology contains nearly 200 AP's(3600 series) and 20 access switches and so on.....So there is a chance of 200 AP * 350 Mbps can flow on the distribution layer.So ,
1)If I use flexconnect any issues will be occuring?
2)Does it cause any impact on VOWLAN?

Subject: FlexConnect compatibility with Access Point? We have today one Cisco 5508 and those access point on remote sites
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1131AG-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1231G-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1142N-E-K9
We plan to use redundancy on the controller and implement Flexconnect on the remote site. What we need to know is if I can implement Flexconnect on all actual access point - I think it is possible on 1142N + 1131G but do not know on 1231AG - is it correct or I'm wrong ? We plan to install the latest SW version for 5508 controller.

I have found some samples on the FlexConnect setup for the controller side. However none of the documents mentioned how the switch port should be configured that goes to the controller and AP.
At this moment I have a Cisco 5508 configured in CAPWAP mode with 20 APs. I would like to use same controller for connecting one of the remote sites with 2 APs in FlexConnect mode. Current the 5508 to switch port is configured as 802.1Q port. All CAPWAP AP ports are configured as "switchport access vlan X" where X=capwap VLAN. Need to know how the switch port should be set for the remote site where flexconnect APs connect.

Configuring HP switches for Flexconnect. I am not sure if or not its doable? Access Points are 2600 and 3600 with 5508 as a controller. Idea is to keep the branch traffic local but the switches are HP.

The wlc config guide of Release 7.4 states that sticky key caching (usefull with apple devices) is supported at AP in local mode. [URL]I am testing the new WLC 8500 with 7.4.100.60.
AP mode = FlexConnect
The wlan i activated skc is centrally switched.I debugged the iPhone (4S) roaming.I think skc works at centrally switched vlan on flexconnect APs.

I have several 2602 AP's that I want to operate in FlexConnect mode. The WLC is at a central HQ and the Ap's are remote. There are central radius servers at the HQ for the wlans. At the remote lcoation, there is a local radius server we want to use for the primary radius server for these AP's. This radius server has been added to the WLC. I have setup a FlexConnect Group, designated the the primary and secondary servers, and then added the AP's to the group. It does not look like radius requests are being sent to the local controller.
For this to work, do we have to check the box under the wlan for FlexConnect Local Auth? Currently, we only have FlexConnect local switching selected.

I need to integrate Cisco ISE and WLC5508 with FlexConnect (local switching) using EAP-TLS security for wireless clients across multiple floors (dynamic VLAN assignments based on floor level). The AP model used is 3602.
- What RADIUS Attribute can be used for dynamic VLAN assignments based on floor level? Is there an option where I can group all LWAPs in same floor for getting certain VLAN from ISE?
- I intend to use WLC software version 7.2 since 7.3 is latest version. Has someone use WLC software version 7.3 without any major bugs/issues pertaining to FlexConnect and EAP-TLS?
- I read some documents saying L3 roaminig is where the associated WLC has changed. However if user move to different subnet but still associated to the same WLC, would this be consider as L3 roaming too?

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.

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 am trying to upgrade an autonomous IOS 1242 AP to LWAPP and I am having an issue with finding the right code to complete the upgrade. I have upgraded the AP to c1240-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.ja2.tar, but now I think I need a JX version of code to have it join a controller, and I can't find this anywhere on the Cisco site.

One of Cisco Wireless AP 1242 installed in my premises restarts itself; AP is getting power from Catalyst 2960 POE. I am using multiple SSID on this AP. I have issued the show tech-support. I have seen below in tech-support System was restarted by unknown reload cause - reason ptr 0xF, PC 0x46FEB8, address 0x0? what could be the reason of restarting of AP. AP is in production since 1 year and it restarts seldom.

When I tried to add new AP 1242 to my network I had following problem:
The Ap was constantly reloading and I was getting message
Wed Mar 20 13:32:12 2013 AP 'UBFT-E06-F0A-R09-0022.901b.a6ba', MAC: 00:23:ab:27:1f:30 disassociated previously due to AP Reset.
%CAPWAP-3-IMAGE_DOWNLOAD_ERR3: capwap_ac_platform.c:782 Refusing image download request from AP - unable to open image file /mnt/ap_bundle/ap.pri//c1240
I decidet to reinstall software on WISM 2 modul (7.2.111.3) this fix the problem and AP joined controller but during this process I have lost connection to 87 AP for 3 seconds and then they joind back again.

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.

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.
