Cisco Wireless :: Aironet AP-1041N Setting To Have Access Point Broadcast Multiple SSIDs
Jan 17, 2013
I have recently purchase Aironet Access Point. I'm pretty new to Cisco systems and what i'm try to do is have the access point broadcast multiple SSIDs lets call them Guest and Admin. My problems is when i config router to have a DHCP address it works perfectly fine but when i assign a static IP it shows all the any connected device as unkown with IP 0.0.0.0. So i'm guessing i will need to setup a dhcp server. Is there a way access point can have its own DHCP server and IP address ( i don't want to use any from my STATIC ip subnet as i dont know alot of empty ones left) like home wifi router where they assign each device an IP like 192.168.0.1. Is this possible?

I have 2 cisco 1242Ag APs in one building and 7 in other building installed in my infrastructure. All these 9 APs are connected to WLC and all of them are added to default ap group to broadcast all the ssid... But 7 in the second bulding are working properly, but the 2 in the other building are not broadcasting the ssids. I checked the configuration in both APs and WLC as well... All the 9 APs are having the same configuration.

We are in need to perform a site survey with the Aironet 1041N Access Point.
Upon reviewing the site survey software, it seems you need to use an Aironet adapter. However from what i can tell, all the Aironet adapters are PCMICA cards, which most modern laptops do not have, and the PCMICA cards that do exist don't have drivers for windows 7.
Are there USB adapters w/ Windows 7 drivers that can be used to perform a site survey?

I am trying to provision three 1142 AP's so they broadcast multiple SSIDs. I have set the following commands, but I am not able to get more than one SSID to broadcast. As you can see I added the "guest-mode" command to one of the SSIDs which took it without problems. That other SSID does not accept the command.
dot11 ssid Test
vlan 2
authentication open
[Code].....

I am in the process of installing an Aironet 1140 standalone AP. I have not worked with these AP's before. I will be connecting it to one of the PoE ports on the existing ASA 5505. My goal is to have 2 SSID's, one for internal network and one for guest internet only, no access to internal LAN. I want to have the internal wifi clients and the guest clients on seperate IP networks. The internal clients obtain DHCP from the existing server and use the ASA DHCP server for the guest clients. And of course, I would like the ability to manage the AP from the internal network. I am providing copies of my current configs for both the ASA and Aironet.

I'm working on setting up an Aironet 1040 Wireless Access Point for my company. It's my first time setting up something like this, and I've run into a bit of trouble.
I created my first SSID easily enough, following the manual and guides online. I set up VLAN 1 as my native VLAN and linked it to my SSID with the encryption and security that I was told to use and it works great. However, my boss asked me to set up a second connection as well for guests at the office, and this is where my trouble starts.
I created VLAN 2, and then another SSID which I linked here. I set up encryption and security the same way, and I can see the network when I open up my network and sharing manager. I can connect to the network as well, but I either get a spinning blue icon where my signal strength indicator is or a few bars with a yellow caution sign, and Windows says 'Identifying...'. I've compared the two SSIDs using the console and the GUI and I can't seem to spot any obvious differences between them.

I recently bought 6 airo net 1041N standalone access points for a customer of mine. It's an academy of barely 200 students. I'll be installing an access point in every room, to ensure better signal, since they use video for there classes. The reason why i decided to install an access point in every room is because the walls are armed concrete and they had a terrible experience with a past company in which they spend a lot of money for a antenna system that didn't work.These access points will be connected to a switch, which I have to buy also.Every student is going to bring there own laptops in order to connect to the network.
The reason why I'm writing is because I have a few questions to clarify.
1) What is the best position for better signal, top side wall or corner ceiling?
2) How many client mac address filtering can i do per access point?
3)I plan on doing ESSID but can I mac filter clients to a particular access point or should I mac address filter all permitted devices in all access points. The problem is that students come with iPods and phones and as you know on windows they will be able to see the wpa2 key and enter it on the particular UN-authorized device.
4) Any graphic user interface for configuring these access points or do i have to use Cisco IOS(kind of familiar with it)? (I'm used to GUI)
5)How can I configure these access points, through Ethernet browser or do I have to use console port cable?
6)Do I have to use POE injector or can I connect the access points directly to the switch with PoE and QoS?
7)I was planning on buying a small business switch sg100 d-8 but they recommended me that I should use the catalyst 2960 series, which would be best for handling video data? don't have to be much features, just QoS.
8) Can CCp software be used in these access points?

I have a Aironet 1240AG and have our main SSID set up on Radio0-802.11G. It uses WPA TKIP. Everything works fine on it. Recently we have been getting a lot of visitors who need wireless access, so reather than hand out our main key to visitors, I decided to create another SSID on Radio1-802.11A for guests. For some reason the new SSID does not show up on the available networks on client devices. You can connect to it manually by entering the name and key. But how do I get the SSID to broadcast on the 2nd SSID. A lot of these guests are not very computer smart, so it becomes a real pain to have to walk them through connecting to the guest network.

I purchased a new ap1041n access point. It's the first Cisco I've tried to configure in a long time. I'm trying to get the 802.11n working but it seems to be stuck in 802.11G since I can only get it to go up to 36mb. The radio says its running in mixed mode and I can't figure out if that means b/g or b/g/n. I ran the Express Setup and it didn't seem to work.

how to enable wireless N speeds on this access point? It's operating in mixed mode via PoE. If I go into network interfaces -> Radio0-802.11N --> Settings, the highest data rate is only 54 mbps. Can N speeds be acheived in mix mode? Also, I thought this access point is dual-band, but I'm only seeing the one radio, is that normal? (see attached image)

We have a 5508 controller with about 40 LAPs, running AIR-CT5500-K9-7-2-103-0-FUS software.The need has arose to have LAPs in various locations that only broadcast specific SSIDs.
I've got seperate dyanmic interfaces already created.We have 3 "Normal" SSIDs that we broadcast to the LAPs already associated with the 5508.2 more SSIDs were created (2 different purposes).
I just can't figure out how to get it to certain LAPs to only broadcast the specific SSIDs, while the rest broadcast the normal 3, but not those 2 new ones.

I am trying to build a new network from scratch, I have the WLC 5508 w/ Aironet 3600e APs connected to my Netgear Smart Switches and a Linksys RV082 router that I'm using as my DHCP server with several VLANs for several stuff on my Switches.
I have 2 questions:
1. Can I have 5 Interfaces configured on 5 different VLANs, each SSID on each a different Port:
Port 1: Controller management only=> 192.168.x.x /24
Port 2: SSID 1: WiFi Internal=> 172.16.x.x/12 (Radius Auth with no sharing)
Port 3: SSID 2: WiFi Internal w/ sharing=> 192.168.x.x/24 (Radius Auth with sharing)
Port 4 :SSID 3: WiFi Guest=> 10.0.x.x/8 (Web Auth)
Port 5: SSID 4: WiFi IT=> 192.168.x.x/24 ( Radius or certificate Auth with access to the controller management interface)
2. How can I use the Controller as the DHCP server for all the WiFi traffic, and how should that be configured to work with my other DHCP server?

I had an old G router that had an unsecured network. It died and I replaced it with an N router and installed a secured network. I have a cable modem with wires that goes to the router. From the router, I have CAT 4 wires going to several access points around the house. Into one of these acess points, I have pluged in a wireless access point that broadcasts wirelessly---unfortunately, it is broadcasting the old unsecured network. How can I make the wireless access point broadcast the new secured N network?

I have a rental property with 3 apartments that are sharing the same internet connection. The users are consistantly downloading more than their monthly allowance, and I would like to monitor how much data each apartment's users are downloading.My plan is to purchase a Cisco WAP2000 Access Point and configure 3 SSIDs (one for each apartment). I havent decided if each SSID is to be setup on it's own VLAN.
Will I be able to use SNMP to monitor the data that each SSID has downloaded each month? I am happy to use a network management software package (such as PRTG from Paessler) for the actual monitoring itself, but I just need to know if the SNMP in the WAP2000 Access Point will provide the information to begin with.

I have several Aironet 1231 APs most running 12.3(8)JEA software. There are 4 SSIDs on (each in separate VLAN), with only one broadcasting (called pubwifi). The broadcasting one is an open, unencrypted network: [code] After adding another braodcasting SSID (encrypted, separate VLAN), I encountered weird situation: my WiFi clients are unable to connect to pubwifi. It is not showing in the available networks or is showing as an "unknow" network. New encrypted/bradcasting ssid is advertaising just fine.

I have a WRVS4400N that brocasts two different SSIDs. One is a public network and the second is a private network. Right now, both SSIDs are pulling from the same DHCP server, but I would like to seperate the public from the private. How can I seperate these SSIDs by vlans? I can't seem to get the vlans to route to sperate ports.
This is my vlan settings. I have two DHCP servers right now. One is in an isolated network plugged into Port 3 of the WRVS4400N. The other is on the production network, plugged into port 1 of the WRVS4400N. For some reason, whenever I connect to SSID Public, it won't pull an IP from the DHCP on port 1, it only pulls it from the one on port 2.I know there is three SSIDs here, the Static one is going to be the same network as the EMS one.

I just picked up a Cisco Aironet AIR-AP1252G-A-K9 Wireless Access Point to mess around with at home and learn IOS.
The unit didn't come with a power adapter or any accessories. Just the bare AP. Does this AP need a controller to work? Can I use it as a standalone AP?

We have multiple Cisco Aironet 1131AG devices, all wired on one Cisco L2 switch(2560) who is connected to L3 switch (3550). We assigned one VLAN for access point in L3 switch who acts as vtp server (L2 switch is vtp client). All ap's will have static ip address and all will have same SSID and no security and they will be using multiple channels (ex. 1,6,11). They will operate in 3 floor building for roaming wireless client. We won't using any wireless controller.
How to configure APs-all the same with different ip's, can we use L3 switch to create dhcp server for access points VLAN (pool for clients, and the rest for static ip for ap's)?

I am trying to find a way to login to our wirless access point. I have a Aironet 1130AG series wireless router. I have the ip address. It is a POE device so i dont have a power supply for this device. When it is on I can see the Wireless Network but the passcode has been lost and no one knows it. Is there a default IP address for this equipment? There is an Ethernet port for a console but without the power supply i cannot access it.

We are currently using several AP's in our organization. And in this one AP i want to give a user the power to change the password of the wireless network to prevent miss use. I was wondering if it was possible to create an account who only has the privilege to change the WPA key?? I want to prevent that he will accidently change other settings.

I am looking at outdoor access points, I want to stick with Cisco aironet, we currently have 6 of them that are 6 years old and running great, one has had a problem because of humidity, dried it out and relocated and we are good again.
I was looking at the Aironet 1310 Outdoor access point, but I can't find much information on it. I am looking to see how many SSIDs can be setup, we currently have 2 one private, and one public, this is done with VLANS. I am also looking at finding out about the power injector, it converts to coaxial cable, it has 2 RJ-45 and 2 Coaxial, does this mean if we get 2 access points, then I only need 1 power injector?

I 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?

I have a very special application where I need to connect as much as possible end devices to a single access point.The required data throughput per end device is very small - around 1 to 5 kbit/sec.I am using the Access Point Aironet 1242AG.
Questions :
1. What is the maximum number of simultaneous users that can be connected to a Cisco Access point, is it 255 or can be more ?
2. If I define multiple SSID’s, what if the total numbers of users that can be connected to a Cisco Access point
3. I there a simulator tool that can be used to simulate multiple wireless connections to an AP
4. Have anyone tested so many users connected to 1 Access point ?

I must configure an Aironet 2602e Access Point, as a standalone access point (without WLC), but I can not find Configuration Guides for that. I have only found the "getting started guide" but there is described an installation combined with a WLC, which I have not. Is it provided no real guidance from Cisco? I did something never done before.

We have 2 aironet 1310 aps setup as infrastructure access points between 2 buildings. One went south on us & we placed it. Before the bad one went down, we were able to manage both remotely & could see them from the next device via CDP. Now, we can't connect or even ping either AP. And the weird part is that the switches that connected to each can see each other via CDP, but not the access points between them. I'm attaching the configuration. Before I make the 2.5 hour drive back to the site, what I may have misconfigured on either or both access points?

I need to configure a WAP4410N for use on a small, very simple business network. There should be a corporate WLAN and a guest WLAN. The corporate WLAN should allow anyone connectd to it to access resources on the domain.
In front of the WAP is a cable modem/router and a basic Level 2 (web managed) switch. What do i have to do to segregate the corporate and guest networks.
I thought I would add the corporate WLAN to VLAN1 (assuming the default VLAN in the switch is VLAN1). Then I figured I could create the guest WLAN and assign it to VLAN2 which which will be controlled entirely by the 4410N (DHCP, DNS, etc.) Does this sound like the right way of going about things?

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 am trying to setup a RV180 and 3 wireless access points. I want the AP's to have 2 ssids that are isolated from each other. IE guest network and main network. I have setup VLAN's and my AP's support 802.1q and have ssid's with matching VID's. I was able to get this to work basically, but things seem to have gotten confusing when I plug the AP's into a POE switch instead of directly into the rv180. At this point I'm not sure exactly waht to ask. Maybe start by providing basic info on how I'm supposed to do this. I was under the impression that since both devices support 802.1q I could configure the VLANs on the router, and tell the AP's to apply a VID to the SSID and thing would work. This isn't the case unfortunately.

I have the need to run a few autonomous APs (1262) for some sites on satellite links. At a bare minimum I need to run two WLANs. One is wide open, and the other with an ACL that heavily restricts access. Is there any way to tie two WLANs to a single VLAN, while applying an ACL to just one WLAN?
