Cisco 521 Roaming?

Fri, 9 May 2008 06:34:16 PST

Does this Access Point support roaming? We want to buy 3 of theses in standalone mode and are wondering if a user moves throughout an area, if they will roam seamlessly from one AP to the other. I did not see any documentation on it so just curious. Also, is the Cisco Configuration Assistant easy to use? Does anyone have a demo or know where I could download it now to see how it works? Thanks!

Controller, 1522 and no IP connectivity

Fri, 9 May 2008 06:30:28 PST

Weirdest thing: We are trying to register one 1522 Mesh AP (the one with a Cable Modem inside) to a controller using the lastest mesh image. Here is the thing: For some reasong, the AP was previously associated to a different Controller, (lwapp commands disabled), despite being brand new and just got out of the box. So we are using some simple scenario where the AP is directly connected to a switch and the controller. The controller is configured also as a DHCP server, and the AP does gets an IP.. BUT, it cannt ping neither the gateway (the switch) or the Controller. If it gets the DHCP info I guess there is connectivity between AP and WLC, but how come after gettint an IP address it cant ping and obivously it cant join the WLC. Anyone with a tip or some orientation? thanks in advance!

ERROR!!! Command is disabled.

Fri, 9 May 2008 05:00:51 PST

I have a lwapp 1130 here and it's no longer associated with the controller. I issued the clear lwapp private-config, it went through and cleared the config. Now when I try to issue the lwapp commands to set the ip and such i get ERROR!!! Command is disabled. I read that this means the static configuration is locked, but it did not say how to "unlock" it. Any ideas or suggestions on how to get this re-enabled.

CCO or should they purchase new IOS as spare?

How to limit tracking areas in WCS?

Thu, 8 May 2008 18:13:40 PST

WCS is set up and working well, 2710 is working and tracking about 300 devices. Some of the floors are a kind of cross shape, with AP's at each interior and exterior corner. I've drawn a perimeter in the Map Editor, and I thought that would limit the locations of the clients/tags, but it doesn't seem to. I still have clients/tags hovering off in space outside the perimeter. Any ideas why that might be?

WCS Licensing

Thu, 8 May 2008 15:06:37 PST

I have a WCS and when first ordered I ordered the ability for 50 AP's . We have grown and I need to add 50 more AP's and need licensing for this add. Here is what was initially ordered: WCS-STANDARD-K9 WCS-APBASE-50 CON-SAU-WCSAB50 Do I just order another WCS-APBASE-50 part number to accomplish this?

1300 Series Bridge and FastEthernet Link Status

Thu, 8 May 2008 14:24:56 PST

I am trying to install a AIR-BR1310G wireless link between two buildings. I configured the setup in a lab and had everything functioning. Shipped it to the client who is now trying to install it. The radio link is up, but we are having issues with the remote ethernet connection. The root bridge is connnected to a WS-C3560G-24TS (core) switch. The port is setup as a trunk with a native vlan of 2 (our management vlan). Core SW ======= interface GigabitEthernet0/21 description TRUNK: 100BaseT - Wireless WAN Bld 6 & 5 (10.1.2.65-68) switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk native vlan 2 switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,20 switchport mode trunk The root bridge is then setup with a .2 interface on the radio and ethernet. The same is on the other non-root bridge radio. Both Radios =========== interface Dot11Radio0 no ip address no ip route-cache ! encryption vlan 2 [snip] ! ssid [snip] ! antenna transmit right antenna receive right antenna gain 10 speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 basic-11.0 basic-6.0 basic-9.0 basic-12.0 basic-18.0 basic-24.0 basic-36.0 basic-48.0 basic-54.0 power local 5 power client 5 channel 2412 station-role root bridge payload-encapsulation dot1h ! interface Dot11Radio0.2 encapsulation dot1Q 2 native no ip route-cache bridge-group 1 bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled ! interface FastEthernet0 no ip address no ip route-cache hold-queue 80 in ! interface FastEthernet0.2 encapsulation dot1Q 2 native no ip route-cache bridge-group 1 bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled The wireless link is fine and I can reach both radios from the core side. The problem is the remote bridge's ethernet link. The radio is connected to the power injector via 2-RG6 Quad Shield cable (Cisco recommmended Belden product). We are trying to connect a WS-C2960-8TC-L switch (has auto MDI/MDI-X ports). Remote Switch Port Configs =========================== interface FastEthernet0/7 description 100BaseTX to Wireless for Bld 5: r1-swi-cor01 switchport mode trunk ! interface FastEthernet0/8 description 100BaseTX to Wireless for Bld 1: r1-swi-cor01 switchport trunk native vlan 2 switchport mode trunk But regardless of what config (trunk - port 7, trunk with native 2 - port 8, AND EVEN WITH NO CABLE CONNECTED AT ALL TO THE PI) the non-root bridge always shows the FastEthernet 0 as: FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is down Never Line UP / Protocol UP (Up/Up) nor Line DOWN / Protocol UP or Down (Down/x). Q1 - Because of the coax link between the PI and the radio, does it always show the FastEthernet status as UP? In other words, even with no cable connected to the injector, the status is UP/Down (not Down/Down). Is this because of the coax link between the injector and the radio or should it go "down" when nothing is connected to the injector's ethernet interface? Q2 - If it does always show the line state as UP, is there any way to debug a link issue between the Power Injector on the remote (non-root bridge) and the remote switch (which I don't have access to)? NOTE: Not sure if this helps.... if I do a "show power-injector" on the remote radio (no ethernet link), I get: "Received zero AutoMIB packet from Power Injector, Check to see if CDP is disable d on Fastethernet" repeating. No other entries. If I do the same command on a unit with a link (root bridge) I get information about "Power Injector Port 0 speed 100Mb/s duplex full link up enabled yes" with a bunch of stats. Similiar for "Power Injector Port 1". Power Injector Ports 2-4 as "down" and 5-6 as "disabled". Q3 - Other than the 3 different patch cables they tried (all straight through) or a crossed cable (try tomorrow when they buy one), is there any other reason the port won't go Up/Up?

Half my AP's did not come up after upgrade to 4.1

Thu, 8 May 2008 11:38:13 PST

On Tuesday, I upgraded WCS and 7 WLC 4404 from version 4.0.216.0 to 4.1.185.0. Since then about 250 1131 access points have not come up. I reloaded the configs to all of the controllers from the backup that I did before the upgrade, but they still didnt come up. Does anyone have any ideas? edit: I forgot to mention that my access points are set up with static IP and are spreadout through controllers 2-6 and use controller 1 as a backup.

Cisco 1410 Bridge - Non-root bridge Spontaneous Reboots

Thu, 8 May 2008 08:32:00 PST

Hello, I have a pair of new Cisco 1410 bridges, running the 12.4(10b)JA, IOS, over a range of about 1 mile. I installed the bridge three weeks ago, it ran perfectly for a week, then the non-root bridge started spontaneously rebooting, between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM. This is a full reboot, not just a loss of association. At first I thought it might be a power issue, so I put it on a UPS. When the problem did not clear up I replaced the power injector and the power brick, but this was not the solution. Each time I changed something, the problem would clear up for a time (30 minutes - 2 hours) then recur, if between the hours of 10 AM - and 4 PM. Over the past week, a pattern has started to emerge. When it is cool and cloudy, no reboots. When it is sunny and warmer (this is a relative term since it's springtime in Michigan and it was snowing, but not sticking, yesterday), let's say over 40 degrees F, it reboots during the warmer part of the day, 10 AM - 4 PM. Before climbing the tower to replace the radio, I am trying to decide if I have a failing radio, or if this may be like the temperature issue the 1400's had when they got too cold, just reversed?. Any ideas on how I could test this? Thanks, Kevin

Autonomous -> LWAPP Upgrade Tool & Vista

Thu, 8 May 2008 06:08:11 PST

I tried to install the v. 3.4 upgrade tool on Vista Business 64 bit. The installation fails with a pop-up titled "Severe" with error "Error in opening iput file." The real problem I'm having is that I can't uninstall the failed installation. It shows up in the installed programs list, but upon uninstalling pops up with "Setup Initialization Error" "Setup is unable to find _SETUP.DLL, which is needed to complete the installation. Error 103." Any advice on how I can excise this thing out of my system?

ACS stops working following alerts

Thu, 8 May 2008 06:06:43 PST

We have ACS 4 and we use a 4404 wireless lan controller. In the past month we've been experiencing outages for our wireless clients. We get alert messages from ACS like "Auth server down: Could not change Password" or "Test Timed out for service: CSRadius & Test Timed out for service: CSTacacs". Then users start calling in reporting that they are down. I did a search and keep finding this "Error Message Auth server down: Could not change Password Explanation CSMon could not change the password of the test account. Recommended Action No action required." Can anyone provide more information on what could be going on and why this alert which says no action required keeps showing up and then wireless goes down? Thanks.

wireless client can't get dhcp

We are having trouble with a wireless client getting a DHCP address when connecting to a repeater AP. client -> AP-2(Repeater)<------------>AP-1(Root-Bridge)------> Wired LAN If I assign a static to the wireless client then everything is fine (can pass traffic, etc.). I just cant get an IP. I have posted the configs (relevant parts) to help. The rest of the network (wired part) can get an IP from VLAN 2. It's just the 1 client that uses that AP can't.

snmp traps will not stop

Wed, 7 May 2008 09:02:02 PST

We are getting a ton of snmp "cold start" traps. About every minute or less. I even took the statement out of the configuration to stop the device from sending those traps but they're still coming. I used the "no snmp-server traps enable snmp coldstart warmstart" I verified that it was no longer in the config as well. Any help?

H-REAP LAP won't register with Controller...

Wed, 7 May 2008 07:44:39 PST

I have a total of 27 LAPs on my wireless network from 17 different remote locations. All are AIR-LAP1242G-A-K9, 25 are in H-REAP mode and 2 are in LOCAL mode. I never have any issues with the LOCAL mode LAPs, they never DEREGISTER from the Controller even if connectivity to the Controller is lost, it will automatically Discover the Controller and RE register. The H-REAP mode LAPs however will DEREGISTER when connectivity is lost and will try to RE register but will fail. Debug shows failure is due to... Max retransmissions reached on AP... followed by... apfSpamProcessStateChangeInSpamContext: Down LWAPP event for AP . But when I change the mode to LOCAL, it registers successfully. Why is that and what is the fix for it?
