We have about forty points of access Cisco Aironet 1131AG spread over four floors and they all have a static IP (BVI1) on the same SSID, customers will be on its own virtual local area network (dhcp on 3750 switch) and they use several channels (1,6,11).  Cisco Wireless Control System is pending. This wireless network should support roaming for customers (there will be Wi - Fi tags of multiple AeroScout and wireless laptops). To measure the strength of the wireless signal and wireless coverage on each floor. My questions are:

  1. How to measure the strength of the wireless signal: we must meet at least three APs available with signal excellent (I guess for the WCS needs that will determine the position of the client in the building)? We thought to use NetStumbler and a few laptops with wifi and measure as many points as we can as simpler thing. Or should we use something like Cisco Aironet Client adapters for our mobile phone and then use Cisco Aironet Client Utility (is it worth buying for our analysis and measurement)? Any other idea?
  2. What signal level should we consider for a good wireless (dBm)?
  3. That we should propose for authentication, authorization and management accounting? What happens to the roaming wireless? I did not quiteunderstand WCS, WDS and WLC-that should be used for above tasks?

Thanks in advance.

"Use the command on the AP" sh dot11 associations "will give you the clients associated with success.  If you add the MAC address of the client at the end of the command, you will get detailed information.  Look under "Signal Strength" and "Signal to noise".  Under the strength of the Signal, you want a value of-75 dBm or lower (lower values the better).  -76 dBm and is bad.  Under Signal-noise, you want a value of 25 dBm or more (values higher the better).

To measure the strength of the signal, I use Airmagnet, but you can use Netstumbler or Cisco Wireless Site Survey.

  • Several points of access Cisco Aironet 1131AG and same SSID?

    We have several Cisco Aironet 1131AG, all wired devices on a switch (2560) Cisco L2 which is connected to the L3 switch (3550). We have assigned a VLAN for access point to the L3 switch which acts as a vtp Server (L2 switch is vtp client). All the ap will have a static ip address and all will have the same SSID and no security, and they will use several channels (e.g. 1,6,11).  They will work in 3 floors for a roaming wireless client. We not using any wireless controller.

    So my question is this: how to configure the same APs-all with a different ip address, can we use L3 switch to create the dhcp server to access points VLAN (pool for guests) and the rest of the static ip address for the ap? One of the ap can be WDS and on the same radius server local time with users without Cisco Secure ACS or similar controller or I did not understand this very well :-). I followed the guide http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.3_2_JA/configuration/guide/s32roamg.html for WDS where Abu Cisco ACS part is a problem, so I can use the same ap as a Local authenticator as a guide http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.3_4_JA/configuration/guide/s34local.html#wp1035723.

    Thank you very much...

    Well, just so you know, WDS, and local RADIUS authentication is necessary only if you use authentication on your wireless connection.  You say that you do not plan to use security, so it's not necessary.  However, I highly recommend at least using a simple WPA2-PSK to lock your connection, otherwise you might end up giving free Internet access at best and at worst you could give access to the computers and corporate servers.  If you want to reuse a 802. 1 x or WPA authentication method, then Yes, you can use an AP as RADIUS and to improve WDS Server authenticated to roaming, but this is much more limited than the use of a Cisco ACS.

    As for your other questions, Yes, your APs can all be configured the same except for at least three settings: IP address, hostname, and channel.  Configure your static IP addresses on the interface of the PA BVI1.  Do not place it on the Radio or Ethernet interfaces, because if one of these interfaces goes down, you lose the ability to configure the AP, so it's best to use the BVI1 interface.

    And Yes, configure a DHCP scope for your customers on your L3 switch is good design, or you can also use your DHCP server on a different subnet by using the command of support-ip address on the interface of L3.  I hope this helps!  Let me know if you need help to set all this up.

    Merry Christmas!

  • Windows 7 or 8 shows the wireless client connected to the access point, but the wireless icon displays "no internet connection".

    I saw the same problem with a different providers wireless solution. When I've sniffed the air with OmniPeek and the network that the ap was conducting with WireShark, I see the arp for the gateway request going to the router, the router gateway response is sent to the suspect machine in the air, the acknowledgement of PC than the package but never fills the arp cache. I watched two arp responses in a vs work for lack of scenario, the two packages are the same.

    The only way I could solve it was to disable IP Helper (not start too) services, reboot the machine. I see 3 to 4 drops per day, but since the deactivation of this Service the machines with that I tested have not seen the question once again.

    IP Helper:
    Provides tunnel connectivity using technologies of transition IPv6 (6to4, ISATAP, Teredo, and Port Proxy) and IP-HTTPS. If this service is stopped, the computer will not have the benefits of improved connectivity offered by these technologies.

    Machines tested and fixed:

    Lenovo E540
    Lenovo W540
    Acer Aspire One
    Dell Latitude E6420

    Ip assistance service has been changed about 40 laptops, a dozen of which would fail in about an hour. So far, 0 out of the 40 saw the question since this change and reboot (reset is the key after disable it) laptops. It's been about 5 days.

    Any reason why disable this Service solves the problem? With it I can replicate the problem pretty quickly on a few different types of machines so it seems not to be driver or provider specific wireless network card. I checked through the Event Viewer logs, but nothing seems to be triggered during the show. Using the Troubleshooter or disconnect the wireless service will fix the problem for a short period only.

  • Set up the wireless access point, but the wireless devices are unable to get ip address

    Hi, I wanted to put my D7000 as router AP. My main router is Sagemcom F@st 3864 by Optus ISP (Australia).

    First of all, I put the D7000 in Bridge mode I did these steps:

    1. replace the IP LAN 192.168.0.100

    2 disable DHCP

    3. connect the LAN port to the main router Lan port

    Internet connection wired and wireless on the same device but other wireless devices has failed

    To remedy this, I made another choice, allowing point-to-point wireless access in the advanced settings of the D7000. I followed the instructions from this link

    http://KB.NETGEAR.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/24104/~/how-do-i-change-my-Nighthawk-router-to-AP-mode...

    I put dynamiccaly = wireless internet cable success but peripheral does not have an ip address

    No idea how to fix wireless? I'm not very experienced

    Thank you!

    I just fixed it just now. For AP mode, connect the LAN port of the main router to the WAN port on the D7000 (not LAN to LAN). I wish I thought to it much sooner.

  • SNMP and cisco Aironet 1131AG

    We have a wireless control system, 3 WLC and 190 APs. I need to listen to 802.11 radios via SNMP. The system is running with LWAPP and APs are not accessible via SNMP (no response trying to access). I'm trying to send traps on the Server SNMP (Zabbix) but to disable the WLC 802.11 Radio, I don't see any trap regarding the status of the Radio or the admin down.

    Are you looking for it any method to monitor the status of the radio via SNMP?

    Thanks in advance,

    OLAF

    Hi Olaf,.

    Lwapp APs are not snmp manageable but controllers takes care of this. You can query the WLC via SNMP and it will give you the status of all access points radio.

    I suggest to use the tool of Cisco's MIB browser learn more about AIRESPACE mib that uses the WLC.

  • Cisco WLC license evaluation of Access Point

    Hello

    I would like to know what is happening to access connected to a Cisco WLC points if the evaluation license reached its expiration date and other licenses have not yet been installed all connected access points would cease immediately operation?

    Kind regards

    Mark

    Yes, they would stop working.

    Note: when you add licenses a reboot is required. Even if the number of supported the HA increases on reset controller is always necessary for these devices to register on the controller under the permanent license. I once added licenses and when I saw the number of the AP increase - I experimented with the restart - and when evaluating lic. expiration of my AP dropped the controller.

  • Unique to the multiple SSID and possible access point single channel?

    Hello world.

    I have a silly question.

    Let say, we have three VLAN, vlan1, 2, 3 and they are mapped to the following wireless LANs:

    VLAN 1 ssid1

    VLAN 2 ssid2

    Vlan3 ssid 3

    AP - trunk - dagprogramm network.

    Our access point has mobile devices in three local wireless networks, IE ssid1ssid2 and ssid3

    Since the mode AP use half duplex, mobile devices need acknowledgement positive to ap they can send data, so once channel let channel 3 (assuming that 802. 11b is used) can be shared by all the devices in three local wireless networks.

    My understanding is correct?

    Thanks and a great weekend.

    An access point = an associated action related channel and each ssid and the customer that one channel and the AP is essentially as a hub

  • Updating of the access points in the environment, the models?

    I'm going slow in the environment by replacing the access points 80 AIR-1252.  I decided to replace our 1142 s at the same time so that the environment is up to date.  I was curious what the replacement recommended for these access points.  I see Cisco recommends the 1262 in lieu of the 1252.

    I work for an oil and gas company with locations across the country.  We use two 5508 s with Flex Connect runs the last code 7.3 7.4 into account in the next 6 months.  Our sites are a mixture of office space with warehouse or other environments difficult. I think 2602 s to replace the 1142 s and 1252 s mounted in offices, and I'm leading 1242 s to replace the 1252 s mounted in our warehouse/truck Bay environments.

    Well the 1262 did replace the 1252, but then Cisco came out with the 3502e and the 3602e.  Then maybe you should look at is using the 2602i in the office areas and maybe the 2602e in the area rugged or even look at the 3502e/3602e.  This way, you have all the AP that can sustain CleanAir.
