WARNING: A memory error occurred during the system start-up self-test. The device must be serviced if the error persists.
The following commands can, optionally, be used to initialize the flash file system and the TFTP file transfer system:
But when this happen, I can start the IOS manually doing flash_init and boot in ROMMON. After do this commands, the access-point starts and works normally.
How can I check and correct the memory and solve this issue?
I am using two Cisco Aironet 1252 (cisco AIR-AP1252AG-A-K9) to setup a point to point link (one is configured as root bridge and is as a non-root bridge). Both Aironets are running software version Version 12.4(25d)JA.
Is there a way that I can that I can perform an antenna alignment test on the Aironet that is configured as a non-root bridge?executing the following command dot11 dot11radio 0 ? does not show the antenna-alignemnet option.
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 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 cisco Aironet 1252 setup as a point to point link using an external antenna (one radio is setup as the root bridge the other is setup as the non-root bridge). Now I see that the connection between the radios is established at a speed of 54 Mbps. However when I perform a speedtest on the link I see that the my actual download speed does not exceed the 2,5 Mbps. what can cause my actual speed to be far lower than the 54 Mbps? And what can I do to improve it?

Inside Wireless, I configured this AP Mode as "Local", but all of the client device such as iPhone, Laptop can't find these SSID.
Okay, I'm working on a project and the company I work for wants to add 5 Ghz antenna's to their Aironet 1252's. Okay not a problem, except I've never worked with these routers before and I can't get the configuration set (). Once I get 'em on one I can get them all done.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pair of Aironet 1310's I am needing to bridge. I have used the CLI to configure the BVI1 with the ip address and verified it. I then tried to access the GUI to configure the device via Internet Explorer and it would not provide access. I read that it had to be older versions of IE but my OS will not support older versions. I then downloaded Netsace Navigator 7.01 as indicated, but still did not get access.
Then I thought maybe if I can access the GUIvia the IPSU tool but I have Googled the Cisco IPSU and cannot find a downloadable link.
I've been getting warning messages from the event log of a 1300 series bridge, which is set as an Access Point in the network, states: 'Packet to client (mac address) reached max retries, removing the client'; I'm not sure why the client is removed. Does 'reached max retries' mean that the client has tried to many times to connect to the AP/Bridge?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to connect two buildings. Let's call them Building A (main) and Building B.
„A“ is the main building and provides a wired LAN to an AAA server (192.168.1.2) and the WAN gateway (192.168.1.1). There I placed a 1262N with the IP 192.168.1.3 connected to the wired LAN and configured it as Root-Bridge. Let's call it AP01.
„B“ is a pretty large building and has a wired LAN from one end to the other end.
So I placed two 1262N there, each at one end.
The first 1262N is configured as non-root Bridge (AP02) and connects to the Root Bridge (AP01). The IP address of AP02 is 192.168.1.4.
The second 1262N is configured as Access Point (AP03) and connects to the non-root Bridge (AP02) via the wired LAN. The IP adress of AP03 is 192.168.1.5
My Questions:
1. Do I need tell AP02 about the AAA Server in Building A or acts AP01 like a AAA Proxy for AP02 because of it Root Bridge functionality?
2. How Do I tell AP03 that it should use AP02 as a gateway to building A?
We are experiencing a high amount of retries in one direction between two 1310 bridges with external yagi antennas. What would this indicate? Here is a copy of the linktest:

how far apart an Aironet 1410 Bridge can be from the Power Injector (Dual Coax feeds). I just can't find the specification details. The device comes with a 20' and 50' F-type and I'm looking at 150' runs for both ends of the bridge pair.

I am replacing an older AP with a new 1252 unit. I attached everything and powered it up, but my DHCP server does not appear to be finding it and assigning an IP address. The status light stays green and the ethernet light blinks randomly green. Seems to be connected fine, but without an IP I cannot configure it to use it.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwe want to have full wireless coverage in a big warehouse (120mx90m) and 15 meter Height that will be having big racks (14 meters height) and 2 meter between the racks and the rack itself is 1.5 meter (2 rack back to back), now we will be having scanners and we need to make sure the wireless is covering everywhere.Where is the best place to put the AP, Ceiling? How Many APs per row ? each row will be around 60 meters length.
Is AP 1252 a good choice? The scanners are a/b/g.What i'm thinking of is to put 1 AP per row mounted on the ceiling and antennas facing down because it is hard to mount the APs between the rack because of the automated racking system.
Currently my company has 1 primary SSID that is used throughout both floors of the building. We have 1252 LAPs which have 2.4 and 5Ghz antennas. I'm not sure if this issue is only with XP or perhaps it's the computer's drivers but we run into problems with end users going to a different location and having a very weak signal or nothing at all, yet coverage is fine. I believe the problem is the end user's machine selecting the strongest signal and it I have the feeling that switching bands isn't being done as it should when it's in range. So my question,
Should I split up our 1 SSID and created multiple SSIDs according to the location and include 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz in the SSID name so it's easier to ensure that users are connected to the proper signal? I want to ask if multiple SSIDs would still enable users to freely roam (as long as the ssids are configured) throughout the building without noticing a loss of signal but currently just having 1 SSID isn't really enabling people to freely roam around without connection issues.I don't believe having multiple SSIDs will be useful for the computer's choose their connection any more efficiently but allowing the user to manually see what they're connected to and pick something better according to their location.
I would like to add an additional antenna to a 1252 LAP but I'm unsure of a few things...
I know this LAP currently has at least a yogi directional antenna (AIR-ANT2410Y-R) and also a ( AIR-ANT2485P-R) connected to it. The access point is in a ceiling so I cannot view the connections but according to this data sheet, { URL } each of the antennas I've specified require 3 per AP. I am only aware of 1 of each being used so not sure why 3 would be required?
Also on my 1252 1 side has 3, 2.4Ghz connections for antennas, TX, TX&RX, and RX. If I want to only use 1 AIR-ANT2410Y-R, would this be connected to the TX&RX port? Do all antennas support transmit and receive or are there some that only support TX and others that only support RX or is this based only how you configure the antennas? On the other side of the access point there are 3, 5Ghz antenna connections.
I found a few older forum posts and documents online discussing how to create multiple SSIDs on 1 1252 AP using the WLC and they state that VLANs are needed for the interface and then I've read that multiple SSIDs on 1 interface are also possible. I'm not sure on how to actually configure this. I would like my 2.4Ghz radio on the 1252 to be associated with the current SSID in production and the 5Ghz band associated with another SSID that's in production. I couldn't find an option in the WLC or anything stated in the documents I've read about how to associate the radio band with the SSID.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are using WiSM WLCs and WCS to control a variety of 1131,1142 and 1252 APs utilising AP groups.
I've noticed on WCS that the power of certain APs is at a low setting, even though the APs surrounding them are also at a low setting. This is causing some gaps to appear on the heatmaps. I was under the impression that the WLCs would regulate the AP power to compensate for any gaps. Currently the global TX power level assignment method algorithm is set to automatic every 600 sec.
Now, obviously I could change this to fixed (not ideal as I may not want all my APs to run at max power all the time) or to on demand (also not ideal due to the increased admin).
Is there a way I can verify that the automatic power levels are adjusting as they should? Why are there gaps appearing in my heatmaps?
*NB It's not just the gaps on the heatmaps, I'm getting reports of dropping wireless signals from users hence me looking at the heatmaps and they just happen to correspond.
