Cisco Wireless :: AP 1242 Shows WLC Management IP As Its Own IP Address
Jul 14, 2012
we are using wism 4404 code 4.2 , we are using this old code becuase of 1250 mesh APs, now when a user connect to our network and he is using intel proset software he can see details of our AP, like mac, type and AP ip address 9 which in this case it the controllers ip address) is there a way we can prevent the ap from showing it?...we will be doing an upgrade to 7.0.230 soon. will the upgrade takes care of this problem or there is a way to fix it.
I have cisco LWAPP 1242 AP already joined controller but 802.11b/g shows down on the radio 0 interface. I tried to enable it but it comes with an error" Error in enabling admin status". I have resetted the AP to factory default settings and even replaced with NEW AP.
I could get a list of clients on the E3200 wireless (or wired) ports. I have my E3200 setup as a WAP LAN-LAN off a switch and it is not the DHCP server on the network. I can see a list of MACs on the client list, but no client names and no IP addresses. They are definitely named and show up on the WRT54GL (DHCP and NAT) as devices
I have got a 3502 setup and functioning in Office Extend mode. I have found one issue though. I have to set the checkbox on the my Management Interface to Enable NAT Address and put the external address in the box. Once this occurs no internal APs can join the controller.
Need setting this up with a single controller behind a router and not having to set the NAT Address for the Management interface? Should I setup a second interface on the controller to be for external management?
I have a WAP321 I am trying to set up. It's connected to gi1/23 and the switch system mode is set to router. The rest of the network works just fine.I have an SG500-28p and the port. [code] On the WAP321 wizard, configured IP address on my management vlan and also configured the default SSID on that vlan. That works. (I plan to remove that one) Then I add the two SSIDs for vlan 20 and 22 (private and public access) and I can't associate to either of the two additional SSIDs. I haven't configured any other settings beyond the wizard and adding the other two SSIDs. I do want cisco mobile ios (jabber) to work on the private network and also do have a couple spa525g2s that need to connect wireless.
My 5508 WLC which runs version 7.4 is configured as a DHCP server for the AP management and here's my problem: My AP can get to the address, and can ping the address of the WLC management，But my AP prompts the following log： [code]
In the switch dhcp we can use to do the WLC option43 specified address, but in this case how the address specified WLC, the AP can be registered up?
When I'm on a fresh boot on my laptop (full shutdown then starting back up) my wifi connects just fine....perfect.However, when I close the screen (its a laptop) and it goes into standby...when I wake it up again my wifi icon by the clock shows that its still obtaining an IP address or whatever (little yellow dot bouncing back and forth over the icon)....The icon will stay like this until the next time I reset the computer....but the entire time my wifi works as it should....its just the icon thats being weird.
Fresh install of Windows (as of two weeks ago) Windows XP SP3 - all updates are current Dell Latitude D610 Dell Wireless 1470 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (wired cat5 disabled) 1GB ram all drivers up to date
Like I said...everything is working as it should..Its done this since I've done the fresh install of Windows, so it has nothing to do with any software I've installed or any of the updates.
i got a d-link router comming off modum and then a lynksys switch . well when i run the lorex program it (the switch) shows up as a router with a ip address ? i have tried a different swith but still the same thing happens .
I am configuring a Cat 2960 port for connecting a VOIP phone, authenticated by MAB. On connecting the phone, I get the port authenticated and assigned to the correct VLAN, with LLDP-MED advertising the correct voice vlan. However, I then see no traffic from the phone on the switch. I can see the MAC address of the phone is learned in the right VLANs, but the mac address is showing as "Drop", which normally means the address is statically configured to be blocked. There is no static mac address table blocking configured on the switch.

I have a cable modem internet connection and my cable modem is connected to an ASA 5505. The inside interface of the ASA has an IP address of 192.168.2.2 and is connected to a Linksys router's internet port which has an IP address of 192.168.2.1. The Linksys router then has a local area network of 192.168.1.0 and all my clients are on that network. Everything is working fine except in my ASA logs all the traffic shows up as the router's external address which is 192.168.2.1. I would like to see the 192.168.1.x address of the clients in the ASA firewall. I've tried making some changes to the Linksys router but that hasn't resolved it. Is there any changes I can make on the ASA to get this to work?
I would like to configure a Management ip address on 6500 by giving ip to the SVI. Following is the configuration done
1) int vlan X ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 no shut
However i am not able to reach this Switch IP from other subnet's. for ex:- 192.168.1.0/24.What next configuration should be done, in order to make this work. I dnt want to use any routing protocol.
In mucking around with my 4500 I accidently deleted the ip address that I use to get into it with telnet and CNA. I have a console cable hooked up to and I'm in that way but the commands I got off the internet did not work. Those commands were set interface sc0 10.x.x.x/xx and set interface me1 10.x.x.x/xx. It didn't like interface and I notices when I did a set ?
I've got a new 5508 wireless lan controller and can ping the ip address of the management interface, but can't access the GUI at the management interface's ip address. I can access the GUI on the service-port interface. No static routes in the controller; trunk appears to be set up correctly.
I am the Systems Admin at LDM Media and am trying to get some support for one of the SRW224G4 managed switches we have in our rack. The issue is as follows:
Any endpoint connected to the switch is assigned an IP address in the range of 169.254.154.XXX regardless of the switches set IP range, the second issue is that I cannot access the web view management interface through the default IP address 192.168.1.254 (and I have tried to use the last IP in the range set by the router 169.254.154.254, to no avail)
How to regaining control of this supposedly smart switch?
My first try at configuring my RV042 has had unexpected results. I set a WAN and LAN address, but did not enable remote managment and did not configure any port forwarding. I expected to be able to connect to the router on the LAN and I could. The surprise came when I put in my web address. I got a router login page. How do I suppress than on the WAN side. I have a static address with my ISP.
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.
i need to change the IOS in a Ligthwiegth Access point and make it work as an Autonomus AP 1242. I have got the image but im not realy clear about the process. I got to enter the Ligthwiegth Access point true the console port but i dont know how is the upgrading process.
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.
We 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.
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.
Currently 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.
we had a problem with a customer wlan in our warehouse (cannel overlapping). The troubleshoot needed a long time. For the future if requipred in case of problems i want to configure one access point in the warehouse as a scanner (please find picture in the attachement). The Autonomous cisco 1242 is now configured as scanner but i can't see any logfiles? Where can i find these informations. This is the cisco description of the scanner mode:Scanner—Functions as a network monitoring device. In the Scanner mode, the access point does not accept associations from clients. It continuously scans and reports wireless traffic it detects from other wireless devices on the wireless LAN. All access points can be configured as a scanner.
I try to change the AP mode of my LWAPP 1242 from local to bridge mode. But when the AP reboots it never associates with the controller, i have to reset it manually.I have the same issue with a LWAPP 1142.I tried to modify the AP mode configuration through the controller CLI but it's the same behaviour, AP never associates.Is there any particular parameter or configuration to perform before changing AP mode?
