Cisco Wireless :: AP1142 Autonomous Bridge With Clients?
Jan 30, 2013
I have 2 1142 autonomous APs that I'm trying to set up for bridging. I have a building just across the street and these would work wonderfully to extend the LAN to that building for the few users that will be located there. The distance is only 200'. That's not my issue right now as I'm still in the lab trying to get these things to talk. I've been through the Cisco documentation on this and just can't seem to get them to work. Here are the requirements:
1. I'll have 2 or 3 vlans that will be used by clients
2. I'll have 1 VLAN for network management
3. I'm not using BSSIDs
4. Is it possible to utilize the 5ghz radio for bridging and still have your 2.4ghz clients be able to connect or am I required to set up bridging on both bands?
5. There's also this option for "workgroup bridging". Am I getting confused on this. I've read through it. It doesn't look like the way I need to do things.
I'm attaching the root side configuration. Version is 124-25d.JA2. The non root side is version 124-21a.JA1.
On the non root side, I get error "dot11-4-no_valid_infra_ssid: No infrastructure SSID configured. Dot11Radio1 not started.
Show ip int br shows reset for the dot11radio1.

I am configuring a mobile van that is used for a mobile health clinic to drive to several locations and when pulling into an allocated parking spot the van will connect via wireless automatically. I am using autonomous 1252 AP's and am considering either briding or workgroup bridging.
The issue I am encountering is that the AP inside a van is a router that has to do DHCP across the wireless and because the ethernet interface between router and AP in the van never goes down the router does not know to re-DHCP. I remember from way back there was an IOS command to track a serial interface and drop the ethernet if the serial link goes down. Is there an equivalent command for AP's to drop the ethernet interface if the radio interfaces go down?

I am trying to have a setup where the AP running in autonomous mode also act dhcp server for the wireless clients.The only thing is that the vlan is switched across to the wired network.
So basically i am having 2 vlans, one for mgmt and other for data (for wireless clients) and both vlans are trunked to the switch.

I have a Cisco WLC 5508 managing several 1252s in lightweight mode. There is a portable across campus that has a standalone network but no cabling to tie in to the corporate network. I have another 1252 that is in autonomous mode. Could I essentially configure that as a bridge with the same security and SSID in order to bridge the corporate WLAN? If not, what are my options?

I have Cisco 1242 setup as a work group bridge. Is there a rule of thumb on the max number of wired clients that can be connected at one time?

What is the maximum allowed number of wired clients behind a workgroup bridge? In other words, is there a limit on MAC addresses?I assume 1262 AP in WGB mode is connecting to a lighweight AP (1262 or 3502), latest IOS and WLC software. I wasn't able to find the answer from Cisco documentation.

I have deployed AIR AP1142 model access points in various locations and some of them get their Radio0 going down intermittenly and the only way is to do a reload. The log just shows that the radio0 went down.

There are two access points of Cisco AIR-AP1142 (4dbi, 2.4GHz). Settle down at height of 12 meters and at distance of 36 meters from each other. Whether will cover access points a zone on the earth in between? And on what distance on the sides?

I have a Cisco AP1142 Standalone AP at two of my locations. However both of these are being rendered useless every night and require a reeboot to correct the issue, because of the high level of noise and vibrations coming from the extremly loud bands that play there, Someone sugested an enclosure stuffed with insulation but Im afriad of overheating the AP.

We have 4x AP1142 standalone APs in WDS mode with roaming and RADIUS from Windows AD for auth.Everything works as expected apart from two APs that frequently reset Dot11Radio0 interface. The other two are fine.
The config on all APs is identical, version of IOS is the same accross all APs (12.4(23c)JA3). The only way to get reset inteface back up is to "reload". [code]

Two months ago I installed a WLC5508 with sw r7.0.116.0 and we installed 8 AP1142 as a start.
10 days the customer calls and says that the wlc logs error messages that says there is an IP-conflict with the management-interface. The conflict source is its own ip-adress!!! He reboots the WLC but the error message keeps coming. After a short while he notices that there are No APs on the WLC...!!!...
After some discussion I suggested that he should disconnect one of the two gig-ports of the WLC (LAG was enabled and in use). He did so and rebooted the WLC for good measure ... The IP-conflict disappeared but still no APs.....
In the DHCP-server (MS Win2003 server), in the AP-scope we also see that the "leased adresses" fills up with "BAD_IP_ADDRESS" (or the sort ... :-/ )
The setup is like this:
- WLC5508 running r7.0.116.0
- WLC has LAG activated and is connected to two different Cat3750G that are stacked
- The management if of the WLC is on the same subnet as the AP1142s, no other hosts on this subnet
- WLC management interface on own subnet as the only host (+ def gwy...)
- APs on their own subnet, no other hosts
- When the APs gets a IP-adress it is possible to ping them from the WLC!
- All VLANs/interfaces on the WLC is tagged, ie a "pure" trunk between WLC and 3750-stack
- Option 43 configured on the AP-scope
- All APs is connected via Power-injector (PWR-INJ4)
WLC5508 => LAG => 2x Cat3750G => TRUNK => Cat2960 with 1x AP1142 => TRUNK => Cat2960 with 6x AP1142
What we have done so far:
- Made sure the port-channel on the 3750-stack was configured: port-channel load-balance src-dest-ip
- Physically disonnected on port of the WLC
- Do "shutdown"on port gig-ports on the 3750-stack and "no shut" on only the one that is still physically connected to WLC
- Do "shutdown" on all AP-ports in the 2960-switches. Clear the lease-pool of the DHCP-server, Deactivate scope, Reactivate Scope and finally "no shut" on all AP-ports
Nothing worked, still no APs on the WLC.
I the connected my PC to the consloe of an AP that was easily accessible and powercycled it. The output can be seen below, the most peculiar was the line : " *Mar 1 00:15:53.351: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Invalid event 38 & state 2 combination"
1. It worked initially but after the ip-address confilct and reboot of WLC no APs associate to the WLC. Why??
2. The error message on the AP console: "*Mar 1 00:15:53.351: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Invalid event 38 & state 2 combination" What does this mean?
3. Since the AP gets an IP-address an it is possible to ping WLC -> AP, is there some freakish ogre in the Cat2960 that eats up the CAPWAP-packets??

I would like to know if it is feasible to put those Aironet AP with internet antenna like AP1142 / AP1042 in a enclosure box (Like IP66 grade) box. Will those enclosure box absorb the Radio signal from the AP? or the Radio signal can still survive after passing the box but the Signal Strength be degraded only?

I'm experimenting a strage issue with some AP1142 that prefer getting new IP from DHCP server rather than using the static ip already configured.
I've got more than a hundred of 1142 APs already conected to a 5508, all with static IP, all working fine for about a year.
As i installed 30 more AP, i enabled a dhcp scope on the controller to give IP to the new APs and when the new aps got registered i changed the configuration to static IP.
The problem comes when some of the older AP than have already static ip are gettig ip from dhcp scope.
If i look at my WCS, it reports that this APS are getting DHCP IP because they cannot reach the controller with their static ip. As this is impossible, because the static ip and the dhcp enable scope are in the same subnet in a layer 2 configuration and with the same gateway. (e.g: old AP 10.10.2.10/16; new AP(dhcp 10.10.3.10-50) 10.10.3.15/16; gw 10.10.254.1)
The problem comes when i disable the dhcp scope, all the older aps that got dchp ip from the wlc scope instead of using their staic configured ip are deregistered. If i reset every ap manually, from the swithc disabling PoE, they start to use the static ip and everything comes fine.
This is happening with about ten of fifteen APs from the 100 installed, that is the strange thing because this seem to be very random as the failing APs are installed in different building and connected to different switches.
As now i have disabled dhcp scope and all APs (old and new) have static ip everything is ok, but i will have to add some more APs shortly and every time i enable the dhcp scope on the wlc

I have 4 desktops cat5 to Dlink DIR 615 router. All work fine. Any wireless clients, laptop or netbooks, see the desktop computers for a while then disconnect somehow. All machines can see the Internet through the router at all times. The desktops disappear from the laptop/netbooks but the wireless machines can be seen from the desktop computers but clicking on them gets 'Access Denied' message after a wait.3 desktops = XP, 1 98SE. All laptop/netbooks = XP

Prior to upgrade AIR AP1142-N (Version 12.4(25d)JA1) everything worked fine! After upgrade IOS (to new Version 15.2(2)JA) without any config modification, management interface (encapsulation dot1q 33) or any IP interface with encapsulation dot1q became unreachable... If set IP on SVI (or BVI) with native VLAN (encapsulation dot1q 4094 native), this IP is reachable. Probably, there are bug in new IOS and Dot1q encapsulation? (see 'tech-support' in attached files)

I have a ASA5505 and it has a vpn set up. The VPN user connects using the Cisco VPN client. They can connect fine (the get an ip address from the ASA), but they can't ping the asa or any clients on the network. Here is the running config:
Result of the command: "show running-config"

We currently have an ASA 5520 communicating with 10 ASA 5510's, all on static outside addresses. I was asked to add 5 additional 5510's on dynamic address. All worked well in testing until it was decided that some of the dynamic clients needed to talk to each other.
My testing shows packets just dying in the 5520.

I have a Netgear WNDR4500 running the stock firmware, acting as a router for my home. I also have 2 routers that are flashed with DD-WRT (Linksys WRT54G and Asus WL-520GU) running as client bridges. The Netgear is 192.168.1.1 and the other 2 client bridges are 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.10.3. The Netgear router is performing DHCP giving addresses from 192.168.10.100 to 192.168.10.254. I have numerous machines connected to the Netgear, wirelessly and wired, and numerous machines wired to each client bridge. All machines have IP addresses that are 192.168.10.100, 192.168.10.101, 192.168.10.102, etc... Everything is working fine, but I have one question: When I access the Netgear router, it shows the client bridges as clients, machines that are wired and wireless to the Netgear router are listed as clients, but the client list does not show any clients that are connected to the client bridges. I assumed that since the router is performing DHCP that all clients would show up.

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.

I am not having much luck getting it converted via normal ways.
It times outs on TFTP server when you hold the mode button (a 3500 is working fine doing the same thing).
I try the old school way of archive download-sw but it isn't fast enough before it re-dhcp's because it can't find a controller. "*Mar 1 01:17:51.123: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC using DHCP IP. Renewing DHCP IP..' Even if I set a static IP address.
Is there way to disable the join process while I upgrade the software? I guess fire up a controller for it to join. I hope I don't have to have a controller to convert these.

I have an AIR-LAP1142 that I'm trying to load the autonomous software onto. I reset the AP with the mode button held down as per instructions. When I release, it attempts to download c1140-k9w7-tar.default from my pc running tftpd62. Several connections are made and then it eventually times out. I tried another machine (also win7 x64) and it fails there too exactly the same.
TFTP logs show:
Connection received from 10.0.0.1 on port 1024 [18/05 17:22:04.269]

how to convert a 3502 access point from Autonomous to Lightweight ? 3502 has a new IOS released back in Dec 2012 to work as staandalone mode. I need to convert this back to Lightweight mode.
I have been searching on web but have had no luck so far with anything. Tried converting it to lightweight in the same way as putting it on Autonomous IOS but errored out.

i'm trying to enable WDS with authentication on a Cisco 1042 AP. The unit itself will be the WDS master and Radius server as well it will serve clients (not that many). The AP is running version 12.4(25d).After multiple tries of configurating, I keep getting the same issue: as soon as I connect to the SSID, I can enter the username and password but authentication fails - hence the message in my console:
%DOT11-7-AUTH_FAILED: Station xxxx.xxxx.xxxx Authentication failed. Every configuration I made was started from factory defaults of the AP.My current tests are with one AP only and if tests go successfully, I will add more infrastructure AP's to the setup.
