I just installed a brand new AP541N-A-K9 (running AP541N-K9-2.0(1) software) and cannot seem to add a SSID. I've tried both from CCA and directly from the Web interface (Wireless:Wireless Network Setup menu). The Add Another button doesn't seem to do anything. I've even tried multiple browser versions.

I have a 4404 with 3 SSID's configured on it. I only want all SSID's to be available on one floor in one building and not on any other AP's in any other building or floor.I thought the way to do it was via AP group but have not had any luck getting that to work. I setup a group for the AP's that I do not want all SSID's and then assigned those AP's to that group. However, I can still see all three SSID's where I only want to see 2 SSID's.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to split the usage of the AP so that visitors are on their own wireless connnection and VLAN.We have 2 WAP4410N APs. One AP acts as a repeater for the another AP.They are both in 4.0.4.2 firmware.We are using WPA2 RADIUS authentication, and would like for visitors to use WPA2 PSK. Under Wireless tab, I have 1 SSID, but the other 3 available boxes for SSIDs are greyed out.When I click in them, they will not allow me to type an ID.I watched a video of how to add SSIDs and VLANs, and it looked simple enough.He just clicked in the box and was able to add more IDs.Could my current config be preventing me from adding additional SSIDs?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have here a couple of APs with c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA1 loaded as firmware.
I want to configure them with 2 SSID: 1 encrypted, 1 public. Each should go to its own vlan, and thus should have a trunk towards the switch.
My wireless experience approaches zero however, and I cannot get the APs to even send out an unencrypted public SSID.
The config that is currently on the AP, after trying a lot of things is:

I am trying to configure WLC 2504 with the following setup:
- three WLAN SSIDs
- management/ap-manager interface on VLAN 10
- guest WLAN on dynamic interface VLAN 20
- main WLAN on dynamic interface VLAN 30
- WLAN for tablet and smartphone devices VLAN 40
At this point switch trunking is configured and three WLANs are mapped to three dynamic different interfaces. I can see all associated APs (which are on the same subnet as management interface on VLAN 10), and can ping each of the APs as well as gateways on L3 switch Catalyst 3750-x. Also, on the WLC interface I see that all WLANs are enabled and SSIDs are set to broadcast, all AP radio is in 'up' mode. DHCPs are configured on management interface and on all dynamic interfaces. L3 switch gateways all have ip helper-address pointing to main DHCP. 'sh vlan' and 'sh int trunk' commands on the connected switches show correct settings.
However, I see absolutely no any SSIDs to connect to on any PC or Mac computer I tested.
We recently received our WLC 5508, AP and switches to setup our WLAN but I'm having trouble getting it all to work. It's been months since the course and I'm having trouble troubleshooting the problem.I've setup the WLC, AP and switches and I have network connectivity to all. The WLC see's my AP and I have all my WLAN and interfaces configured (SSID broadcast is enabled) but I still don't see any SSID coming from the AP.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCurrently 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 running a WiFi network built on Cisco 1262 APs and Cisco WLC 5508. My APs broadcast two SSIDs, let call them "WiFi_Pay" and "WiFi_Free". I have a problem: when users migrate from "WiFi_Pay" to "WiFi_Free" (not moving, connecting to the same AP), the connection fails. If they try for second time, it is always successful. My task is to ensure that such migrations run smoothly and be successful from the first attempt.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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 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.

Although it does accept it in the setup wizard, you cannot change it in the vap list later on, it will throw a popup telling you there's an invalid character.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got the E3200 and it's a pretty good router. Configured it to have 1 SSID as the 5Ghz SSID and the other as the 2.4 Ghz SSID. Since there are 2 SSIDs broadcasted, I was expecting machines connected to each distinct SSID to not be able to see each other, ie expecting the 5Ghz SSID to be a private LAN1 and the 2.4 Ghz SSID to be LAN2? It turns out machines on either SSID can see each other, so it looks like it on 1 big LAN even though there are 2 SSIDs.Doesn't a SSID map to a unique LAN even though they are in the same router?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI mistakenly mis-configured "Management ACL mode" on my AP541N.
Administration>Administration Access Control>Managment ACL Mode
I set this to "Enabled", the problem is I only entered 1 IP address, and that IP address is the SAME IP as the AP's own internal interface. I was not thinking and entered that IP out of habit when I meant to enter my workstation's IP. The FW does not have a safeguard against this.
So, as you can see, this is a big problem, because now I have completely cut off all access (That I can think of) to the router. I can never access the AP as that IP because if I set my workstation to that IP, 1) There will be an address conflict, 2) My computer won't route traffic to the AP out its NIC because it recognizes that IP as itself.
As I posted about in the other AP541N thread about degraded performance, mine did a strange client disconnect last week. It dropped all authenticated clients, but they all thought they were still connected. A quick disable/enable of the wireless card on the laptop would get the computer back on the AP.
This same thing happened again today.
Device information and configuration:
Device: AP541N

[Code]......
we have two AP541n APs that were clustered togehter. They are powered using PoE. The other day I discovered one of them wasn't working properly. I couldn't log into it from the web interface so I unplugged it and plugged it back in from the PoE switch. That didn't work. Since then I have taken it off the network and have tried to reset it and I still can't access it. I've tried connecting to it from the default IP, which according to the admin guide is 192.168.10.10, and that doesn't work. I have tried using Telnet and SSH to connect to it using the default IP and the static IP we had set for it. I have set up a little linksys router and plugged the AP and a laptop into it in hopes it might get DHCP, but that hasn't worked either. I have also noticed the WLAN 2.4G and WLAN 5G lights are not coming on. The PWR, SPEED, and LAN lights all come on. The DIAG light comes on when it's furst plugged in and then turns off. Right now it is not plugged into PoE so that light is off too. We had both APs plugged into an ESW-520 that was plugged into a UC560 which had recently been updated to the latest firmware: 8.6.1. The short story is I don't have any connectivity to my AP541n, even after being reset. No wireless, no Web GUI, no ping, nothing. Has this thing become a large paperweight?
