My current setup is an AP1262n located ~400 feet from my WAP321. I would like to take the wireless signal coming from the AP1262n and rebroadcast it using a WAP321. configuration setting on these two devices.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to expand the wifi range of my WRVS4400n. Since the WAP4400 is'nt available i got me a wap321, since it was mentioned as recommende replacement. However i am having trouble in getting the bridge to work.First i tried to use WDS but this only killed my WRVS4400n and i am now trying the Workghroup Bridge mode on the WAP321.
On WRVS4400n i have enabled WDS and have tried both auto setting and Manual without any difference I am stuck with this status on the WAP321:
Network Interface Status and Statistics VLAN ID Name (SSID)
WLAN0UPSTRM Disconnected 1 myssid
WLAN0DWSTRM Up 1 myssid
It is the Infrastructure Client Interface setting that fails, i've tried both None and WPA pesronal Security setting with same result: Disconnected
I need an AP that can run in client bridge mode. By that I mean a device that can be connected to a PC via the ethernet cable and provide wireless access because these older devices don't have wireless network cards?I looked at the WAP321 but it just uses a wizard. I need a device with IOS so that the PSK keys can be encrypted when viewing. I need to have the config backed up and the PSK can't be in clear text.
View 5 Replies View Relatedwe have purchased a couple of new Aironet APs for our office:
AIR-AP1262N-E-K9
My objective is to use some of these as wireless monitors to scan the vicinity and to report the SSIDs and RSSI values of all detected APs.
Basically something similar to the Linux command: "iwlist wlan0 scan".
Periodically, I would like to transmit the scanning results to a central server (e.g. via SNMP) for monitoring the whole network area.
Are there built-in commands in the IOS to do this? Or can I use Tcl scripts to perform this task?
I have worked with Cisco routers and switches before but I am new to wireless devices.
Recently installed a 1262N AP in autonomous mode. Have both 2.4 and 5Ghz radios running- Both on separate SSID and VLAN. I think I have 5Ghz channels using 40Mhz bands (bonded) but when I do iperf throughput test I only get about 25Mb throughput. I am sitting within 10 feet of the AP. When I switch to 2.4 I get around 60Mb and that's not bonded. I have tried multiple interfaces on my client side laptop I'm testing with since I thought maybe it was a quirky card or driver but I get same results. Am I doing something wrong here? My laptop shows a 300Mb connection to 5Ghz and 144Mb on 2.4Ghz but I know that's not true thorughput so that's why I was testing this to see what I was really getting and now I'm confused.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is one of our first site where we are implementing Cisco wireless, and we bought some external Autonomous AP1262, when we should have bought Lightweight LAP1262 . We can get those replaced, but I am looking into migrating them in order to get them to register with our 5508 controllers.
There do not seem to be a migration tool to download for 1262. Must it be done via the WCS ?So far I have not managed to add these autonomous AP to the controllers. How to know if a migration toll exists for those !
we have a couple of AP1262N-E-K9 APs with firmware version 12.4(25d)JA1 operating in autonmous mode. One AP is setup as repeater while all others are in root mode.
The repeater has setup one parent MAC address so it associates every time to the same parent root AP. Given this setting, I am logging into the repeater via SSH and start the antenna-alignment scan: "dot11 dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment timeout 4"
During this scan, the repeater disconnects from its parent to perform the scan so no output is visible at the SSH console. After the scan is finished, the repeater re-associates to its parent and some output appears on the SSH console.
8 of 10 times this procedure works fine: the scan is finished and I can continue entering commands on the SSH console. However, in some cases the repeater is not reachable any more for about 7 minutes. I.e. pings to the repeater's IP address are unsuccessful and the SSH connection hangs until it is automatically disconnected after a timeout. Also, the web configuration interface is not reachable. After about 7 minutes everything works fine.
we have a couple of AP1262N-E-K9 APs with firmware version 12.4(25d)JA1 operating in autonmous mode. One AP is setup as repeater while all others are in root mode. My goal is to perform the antenna-alignment test through an SSH console on the repeater with a given timeout-value, e.g.:
"dot11 dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment timeout 4"
However, the behavior of this command is inconsistent as the timeout value is ignored in 20% of the tests. I.e. in 80% of all tests, the scan really runs only 4 s as specified using the "timeout" parameter. In the other 20% of the tests, the "timeout" parameter seems to be ignored: Often the antenna-alignment scan runs for about 140 seconds and in some cases even for 420 seconds. This is problematic as the access point is completely unavailable during the test, i.e. the configuration ssh/web interfaces are not reachable and no clients can associate to the access point. [URL]
we have a couple of AP1262N-E-K9 access point with firmware version 12.4(25d)JA1 operating in autonmous mode.
I attempted to measure the signal quality between the APs by setting one device to repeater mode while all others are in root mode. Then, I execute the following command: dot11 Dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment
1. The output of "show dot11 antenna-alignment" is incorrect, the % value represents the signal strength in dBm without the - (minus). E.g. "-25 dBm" is displayed as "Signal 25% 0 dBm".Now, I know that is only a display error but still this is not clean. Is this a known issue?
2. Why are the measured signal strength values not displayed on the SSH console during the antenna-alignment test? Is it obligatory to use the console to see these values? Or is it also a known bug which might be fixed in later firmware versions?
is it possible to manage a air-ap1262n with a controller like wlc 5500 or wlc 2500? the official cisco support could not answer me this question for sure. i have found this old guide to upgrade ap´s to lap´s, but there is hothing about the 1260 in it. [URL]
i am a little bit confused!
the cisco documents tells:
"at_a_glance_c45-636090.pdf"
A wireless network with standalone access points offers a low-cost, entry-level solution that does not require a controller. It is ideal for small-scale networks with less than 20 access points, and offers base-level wireless functionality with the flexibility to scale and add services over time by adding a controller.
I'm using two WAP321 with 4 VLANS
VLAN 100 - WPA PSK
VLAN 101 - WPA Radius
VLAN 102 - open (captive portal)
VLAN 103 - Management (no wifi)
Everything worked fine until I activated clustering on both devices yesterday. Since then, I can't connect via wifi anymore. I still have access to the management via ethernet. It seems like the wifi clients are not able to reach the Portal, Radius or DHCP Server anymore.
I have a WAP321. The unit hangs about on every day. Web interface and WLAN let not respond anymore. By a reset the unit will be back. I have put all unnecessary stale. Tracing the turned on, I can say nothing flashy.

Or can I redirect all WAP321 AP to one captive portal?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow I install the WAP321 with repeater?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was looking for some clarification on the capabilities of these devices to allow roaming of clients between AP's. Take a basic scenario of 3 AP's and a single SSID. I know the AP541N has clustering which uses the Fast Client Roaming Protocol, which basically does a quick re-connect to the new AP. Not quite as seamless as using aironet and a controller, but still pretty good.
Question 1 How does the WAP321 handle roaming? Obviously without the clustering feature you would have to configure each AP independently. But after setting them up, would it support roaming in a similiar way to the AP541N??
Question 2 Would running three standalone Aironet 1141's operate any differently in terms of roaming?
In summary I like the roaming capability of the AP541N but hate the large clunky form factor. I need something that can be mounted in an office environment (ceilings) that will handle easy client roaming. A short disconnect isn't a concern as long as it reconnects on it's own. Wireless controllers are a little out of the price range for this setup.
I have a RVS4000 witch I use as router, and DHCP server. I have a WAP321 witch I have configured SSID with one VLAN. Both devices have fixed IP address. I can connect computer to the wifi access point. But the computer cannot get an IP address from the DHCP server of the RVS4000. If I set the IP configuration manually, it can get an access to the network and Internet.
With another wifi access point it works, the computer get an IP address for the DHCP.
What should I have to do to make my DHCP server works with my wifi access point ?
Any Cisco small business switch that would be capable of powering five WAP321's? I don't know the power profile on these AP but have noticed that the Poe injectors pump out 16.8 MAX watts. I can't find anywhere what the power profile is on WAP321 AP but ~17 WATTS seems to me to be quite high.
In fact, I was interested in the SF100D-16P which has a power budget of 64W over 8 ports... the price range is in my budget.
Does the SF100D-16P can power 5-6 WAP321's sufficiently?
Our iOS6 devices cannot connect to our Cisco Wi-Fi access points using our guest network settings, which involves a captive portal where they must enter their email address. When they select the guest network, they get the screen shown at the bottom of the screen. Prior to iOS6, they'd get the web page where they enter their email address and accept our terms of use. This is happening both on upgraded devices and iPhone 5 devices. We haven't changed anything with the access points.

Anyway, when a client connects to the AP, it cannot get an IP address. It is able to connect to the AP but does not pickup an IP from our internal DHCP server. I've been up and down tthe config screens and even tried hard resetting the AP and starting from scratch to no avail. This happens with 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz modes.
I've tried laptops and smartphones with the same result.
