Setup for Cisco Aironet 1131ag
in [Cisco]
|
From: James Ellis on 7 Oct 2009 18:28 Hello all, I bought a 1131ag in hopes to get Secure Wireless in my house and out doors. I have a very simple setup and need to get this up and going. Below I will post my setup. Thanks for your help in advance. I am running several Mac laptops and PCs. I have qwest DSL with there Modem and router. Its a Netopia router will this asssign a IP to my 1131? I have tried to connect to the AP with no luck.

Have you read the quick start and installation guides? http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6087/prod_installation_guides_list.html Yes, the AP should be able to obtain an IP address via DHCP from your Netopia router. If this device is used, it may not be setup to aquire things via DHCP, and you'll probably have to hookup over a console port and do password recovery. Cisco's aren't the easiest things to setup, they are more akin to a box of tools, rather than a single purpose built item, and thus can do quitealot, but you have to learn how to use the tool first. It will then let you setup things quite advanced that the single-purpose built item never imagined, but you have to know how to get there first, not coast and do the advanced stuff later.

I am working to figure this thing out. Here's a basic config that should work for you (assuming that you are starting with factory defaults): dot11 ssid BOOF authentication open authentication key-management wpa guest-mode wpa-psk ascii 0 BOOFBOOF interface Dot11Radio0 encryption mode ciphers aes tkip station-role root ssid BOOF channel <g> no shutdown interface Dot11Radio1 channel <a> (rest a la Dot11Radio0) interface BVI1 ip address dhcp client-id FastEthernet0 For <g>, pick one of 1, 6, 11, according to which is least used in your location. For <a>, I'd probably pick 149 or 153, unless I had a reason to pick something different. Cheers, Aaron
