• Cisco Aironet 1100 and 1200 Series, can be powered over Ethernet with:

– Switch with inline power (Option 1)

– Inline power patch panel (Option 2)

– Optional inline power injector (Option3)

– Universal power supply (Option 4)

• WARNING Never connect both the DC power to the AP

power port and inline power simultaneously

• The LED lights on an access point convey status information.

• When the access point is powering on, all three LEDs normally blink.

• After bootup, the colors of the LEDs represent the following:

– Green LEDs indicate normal activity.

– Amber LEDs indicate errors or warnings.

– Red LEDs mean the unit is not operating correctly or is being upgraded.

Reset the AP (Power On)

• When beginning a lab, to make sure the AP has the default settings,

• When beginning a lab, to make sure the AP has the default settings, you will reset the AP.

• Follow these steps to reset the access point to factory default settings using the access point MODE button:

• Step 1 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.

• Step 2 Press and hold the MODE button while power to the access point is reconnected.

• Step 3 Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber(approximately 1 to 2 seconds), and release the button. All access point settings return to factory defaults.

Reset the AP (Power On)

350 AP

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 11

• The Reset button on the 340 and 350 AP is in a small hole on the back panel of the base station.

• To activate the Reset button, insert a straightened paper clip into the small hole and press.

• Remove the paper clip.

• The Status LED blinks amber to show the base station has the default parameter values.

• AP Defaults

– IP Address = 10.0.0.1/24

– Username and Password = Cisco (“C” not “c”)

– This password is the privilege password, not the WEP password.

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 17

• Wireless adapter:

– If configuring using the wireless adapter, you must first associate with the AP.

– Make sure the settings on the ACU match the AP.

– Cisco 1100 and 1200 Aps have the following defaults:

• IP Address = 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.224

• SSID = tsunami

• Password = Cisco (“C” not “c”)

• Wired Ethernet:

– No association necessary

– Make sure the IP Address on the Ethernet interface is on the same subnet as the AP.

– We will use the browser via wired method to initially configure APs during labs so we do not configure the wrong AP via wireless.

happened to my settings on AP2!

10.0.0.1

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 20

• In the lab we will need to take steps to make sure you are configuring and connected to the AP that you think you are!

• We will first connect via a wired interface, change the SSID and IP addressing on the AP, different from what the labs show.

• At the beginning of each lab, after you have connected via the wired Ethernetinterface, you will change the IP Address and SSID on the AP, so the other Lab Station does not accidentally configure yours.

• You will also need to change your Host’s IP address.

Basic Configuration

Configure IP address and SSID with IPSU

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 27

• IP Setup Utility (IPSU) can only change the IP address and SSID of the access point from their default settings .

• After the IP address and SSID have been changed, IPSU cannot change them again unless the mode button is held down.

• Use a computer on the wired LAN to communicate with the AP through a hub on the wired LAN.

• The IPSU must be installed on the computer as well as on the same subnet as the AP.

• IPSU uses IP multicast to communicate with the AP

• We will not use IPSU.

• See 5.2.1 if you are interested.

HTTP

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 65

• This feature enables Web-based GUI management by providing support for HTML Web pages and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts using common Web browsers.

• The Services>Web Server page is used to enable browsing to the web-based management system, specify the location of the Help files, and enter settings for a custom-tailored web system for management.

• With the Allow Web-based Configuration Management enabled, access to the GUI management system is permitted.

• If HTTP is disabled, the management system is accessible only through Telnet or the console

HTTP – Help Files

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 66

• Hard Drive - The help files can be copied to the hard drive of the computer which is used to manage the wireless LAN. Go to http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-wireless.shtml to download the help files for the particular release. The readme.txt file explains how to download the help files to the hard drive. This URL starting with file:// may not be accessible if the security settings of the browser are not set appropriately. Example:

• file://[Drive letter]:\[folder or subdirectory]\wireless\help

Proxy Mobile IP

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 67

• Allows Layer 3 Roaming

• More later.

QoS – Not Covered

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu 68

• QoS is disabled by default.

• The most important guideline in QoS deployment is to be familiar with the traffic on the wireless LAN.

• It is important to know the applications used by wireless client devices, the delay sensitivity of the applications, and the amount of traffic associated with the applications.

• QoS does not create additional bandwidth for the wireless LAN.

• Rather it helps control the allocation of bandwidth. If there is adequate bandwidth on the WLAN, QoS may not be needed.

SNMP – Not covered
