THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL

STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE

OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Preface

Obtaining Additional Publications and Information

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.

(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)

Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)

EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55

USA: 1 800 553-2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.


Information about Cisco products, technologies, and network solutions is available from various online and printed sources.

Overview

Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Points combine mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class features required by networking professionals. With a management system based on Cisco IOS software, the 1130AG series access point is a Wi-Fi certified, wireless LAN transceiver.

The access point contains two integrated radios: a 2.4-GHz radio (IEEE 802.11g) and a 5-GHz radio

(IEEE 802.11a). You can configure the radios separately, using different settings on each.

The access point connects wireless and wired networks or is the center point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.

You can configure and monitor the access point using the command-line interface (CLI), the browser-based management system, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or Cisco

Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN).

Dual-Radio Operation

The access point supports simultaneous radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11g radio and a 5-GHz

802.11a radio. Each radio uses dual-diversity integrated antennas.

The 5-GHz radio incorporates an Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio transceiver operating in the UNII 5-GHz frequency bands. The 802.11g radio is called Radio0 and the

802.11a radio is called Radio1.

Ethernet Port

The auto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the back of the access point (refer to

Figure 1 ). The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the

closed top cover (see

Figure 1-1 ).

Note

Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point Ethernet port. Because of limited space in the connection area, booted connectors will not fit.

Console Port

The serial console port provides access to the access point’s command-line interface (CLI) using a terminal emulator program. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see

Figure 1-1 ). Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect your computer’s COM port to the access

point’s serial console port. (Refer to

Appendix E, “Console Cable Pinouts,”

for a description of the console port pinouts.) Assign the following port settings to a terminal emulator to open the management system pages: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

Note

Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point console port. Because of limited space in the connection area, booted connectors will not fit.

LEDs

The access point has three LEDs to indicate Ethernet activity, radio activity, and status indications (refer to the

“Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on page 6-2

for additional information).

•

•

•

The Status LED provides general operating status and error indications (top cover closed).

The Ethernet LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals

Ethernet traffic on the wired Ethernet LAN and provides Ethernet error indications.

The Radio LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals that wireless packets are being transmitted or received over the radio interface and provides radio error indications.

Note

The access point cover must be closed to view the Status LED but the cover must be open to view the

Ethernet and the Radio LEDs.

Figure 1-1 shows the locations of the three LEDs.


OL-6226-02 1-3



Power Sources

The access point can receive power from an external power module or from inline power using the

Ethernet cable. The access point supports the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard and Cisco CDP Power

Negotiation. Using inline power, you do not need to run a power cord to the access point because power is supplied over the Ethernet cable.

Warning This product must be connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source

or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source. Statement 353

Caution

Be careful when handling the access point; the bottom plate might be hot.

The access point supports the following power sources:

•

•

Power module

Inline power:

–

–

Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ3 or AIR-PWRINJ-FIB)

An inline power capable switch, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3550 PWR XL, 3560-48PS,

3570-48PS, 4500 with 802.3AF PoE module, or the 6500 with 802.3AF PoE module

–

Other inline power switches supporting the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard

Note

Some switches and patch panels might not provide enough power to operate the access point when configured with both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios. At power-up, if the access point is unable to determine that the power source can supply sufficient power, the access point automatically deactivates both radios to prevent an over-current condition. The access point also activates a Status LED low power error

indication and creates an error log entry (refer to the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on page 6-2 and the

“Low Power Condition” section on page 6-6 ).

UL 2043 Certification

The access point has adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings, in accordance with

Section 300-22(c) of the NEC, and with Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian

Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.

Caution

Only the fiber-optic power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-FIB) has been tested to UL 2043 for operation in a building’s environmental air space; the AIR-PWRINJ3 power injector and the power module are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building’s environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.

OL-6226-02



Anti-Theft Features

There are three methods of securing the access point:

•

Security cable keyhole—You can use the security cable slot to secure the access point using a standard security cable, like those used on laptop computers (refer to the

“Using a Security Cable” section on page 2-17 ).

•

Security hasp adapter—When you mount the access point on a wall or ceiling using the mounting plate and the security hasp adapter, you can lock the access point to the plate with a padlock (see

Figure 1-2 ). Compatible padlocks are Master Lock models 120T and 121T or equivalent.

Note

The security hasp adapter covers the cable bay area ( including the power port, Ethernet port, console port, and the mode button) to prevent the installation or removal of the cables or the activation of the mode button.

•

Security screw—The access point contains a security screw hole (see

Figure 1-3 ) that can be used

to secure the access point to the mounting plate.

–

When the supplied #8 Philips head screw is used, the access point is prevented from accidently detaching from the mounting plate in vertical and over-head mounting positions.

Note

The supplied #8 Philips head screw provides minimal anti-theft protection.

–

When a tamper-resistant head screw (user supplied) is used, access to the mounting screws that attach the mounting plate is greatly restricted.

Note

The use of a tamper-resistant head screw does not restrict access to the access point cables or the mode button.

Network Configuration Examples


This section describes the access point’s role in three common wireless network configurations. The access point’s default configuration is as a root unit connected to a wired LAN or as the central unit in an all-wireless network. The repeater role requires a specific configuration.

Root Unit on a Wired LAN

An access point connected directly to a wired LAN provides a connection point for wireless users. If more than one access point is connected to the LAN, users can roam from one area of a facility to another without losing their connection to the network.

Figure 1-4

shows access points acting as root units on a wired LAN.

Repeater Unit that Extends Wireless Range

An access point can be configured as a stand-alone repeater to extend the range of your infrastructure or to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication. The repeater forwards traffic between wireless users and the wired LAN by sending packets to either another repeater or to an access point connected to the wired LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides the best performance for the client.

Figure 1-5 shows an access point acting as a repeater. Consult the Cisco IOS Software

Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting up an access point as a repeater.

Note

Non-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with repeater access points.

Powering Up the Access Point

Powering Up the Access Point

When you apply power to the access point, it begins a routine power-up sequence that you can monitor by observing the Status LED on top of the access point. On initial power-up the LED changes colors indicating various Power-On Self-Test (POST) activities; for example, the Status LED turns dark green for about 30 seconds to indicate loading of the Cisco IOS operating system. After a successful power-up sequence, the LED turns light green to signify that there are no client devics associated, or it turns blue to signify that there are client devices associated. Refer to

Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,”

for complete

LED descriptions.

When the Status LED turns light blue or medium blue, you can obtain the access point’s IP address and perform an initial configuration. For instructions on assigning basic settings to the access point, refer to

Chapter 3, “Configuring the Access Point for the First Time.”

Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time

Before You Start


Before you install the access point, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the access point, and obtain the following information from your network administrator:

•

A system name for the access point

•

•

The case-sensitive wireless service set identifiers (SSIDs) for your 802.11g and 02.11a radio networks

If not connected to a DHCP server, a unique IP address for your access point (such as

172.17.255.115)

•

•

•

If the access point is not on the same subnet as your PC, a default gateway address and subnet mask

A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community name and the SNMP file attribute (if

SNMP is in use)

If you use Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to find or assign the access point IP address, the MAC address from the label on the bottom of the access point (such as 00164625854c)

Resetting the Access Point to Default Settings

Using the Mode Button

If you need to start over during the initial setup process, follow these steps to reset the access point to factory default settings using the access point MODE button:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Open the access point cover (refer to the


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

Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point until the Ethernet LED turns an amber color, approximately 2 to 3 seconds, and release the button. All access point settings return to factory defaults.

Default IP Address Behavior

When you connect an 1130AG access point running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or later software with a default configuration to your LAN, the access point requests an IP address from your DHCP server and, if it does not receive an IP address, continues to send requests indefinitely.

Default SSID and Radio Behavior

In Cisco IOS Relese 12.3(2)JA2 and earlier, the access point radios are enabled by default and the default

SSIDs are tsunami.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, the access point radios are disabled by default, and there are no default

SSIDs. You must create an SSID and enable the radio before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of

newly installed access points. Refer to the “Configuring Basic Security Settings” section on page 3-10

for instructions on configuring the SSID and the

“Enabling the Radio Interfaces” section on page 3-9

for instructions on enabling the radio interfaces.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

To browse to the access point’s Express Setup page, you must either obtain or assign the access point’s

IP address using one of the following methods:

•

To assign a static IP address to the access point, connect to the access point console port (see the

“Connecting to the Access Point Locally” section on page 3-4

) and follow the steps in the

“Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI” section on page 3-14 .

•

Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address. You can find out the

DHCP-assigned IP address using one of the following methods:

–

Connect to the access point console port and use a Cisco IOS CLI command to display the IP address, such as show interface bvi1. Follow the steps in the

“Connecting to the Access Point

Locally” section on page 3-4

to connect to the console port.

–

–

Provide your organization’s network administrator with your access point’s Media Access

Control (MAC) address. Your network administrator will query the DHCP server using the

MAC address to identify the IP address. The access point’s MAC address is on label attached to the bottom of the access point.

Use the CLI to identify the IP address assigned to your access point (refer to the

Finding the IP

Address Using the CLI, page 3-13 ).

Connecting to the Access Point Locally

If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the access point to a wired LAN), you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable.

Caution

Be careful when handling the access point, the bottom plate might be hot.

Note

The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ordering/index.shtml

Configuring Basic Security Settings


After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate beyond the physical boundaries of your building.

Just as you use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings, you can use the Express Security Set-Up page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. For detailed security information, refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points.

Figure 3-4

shows the Express Security Set-Up page.

Figure 3-4 Express Security Set-Up Page

3-10


OL-6226-02



Understanding Express Security Settings

When the access point configuration is at factory defaults, the first SSID that you create by using the

Express Security page overwrites the default SSID (tsunami), which has no security settings. The SSIDs that you create appear in the SSID table at the bottom of the page. You can create up to 16 SSIDs on the access point.

Note

In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA and later, there is no default SSID. You must configure an SSID before client devices can associate to the access point.

Using VLANs

If you use VLANs on your wireless LAN and assign SSIDs to VLANs, you can create multiple SSIDs by using any of the four security settings on the Express Security page. However, if you do not use

VLANs on your wireless LAN, the security options that you can assign to SSIDs are limited because on the Express Security page encryption settings and authentication types are linked. Without VLANs, encryption settings (WEP and ciphers) apply to an interface, such as the radio, and you cannot use more than one encryption setting on an interface. For example, when you create an SSID with static WEP with

VLANs disabled, you cannot create additional SSIDs with WPA authentication because they use different encryption settings. If you find that the security setting for an SSID conflicts with another

SSID, you can delete one or more SSIDs to eliminate the conflict.

If any VLANs are defined on the access point, the trunk port on the switch must be limited to allow only the VLANs defined on the access point.

Express Security Types

Table 3-2

describes the four security types that you can assign to an SSID.

Table 3-2 Security Types on Express Security Setup Page

Security Type

No Security

Static WEP Key

Description

This is the least secure option. You should use this option only for SSIDs used in a public space and assign it to a VLAN that restricts access to your network.

Security Features Enabled

None.

This option is more secure than no security.

However, static WEP keys are vulnerable to attack. If you configure this setting, you should consider limiting association to the bridge based on MAC address (refer to the

Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide

for Cisco Aironet Access Points).

Mandatory WEP. Client devices cannot associate using this SSID without a WEP key that matches the bridge key.

OL-6226-02


3-11



Table 3-2 Security Types on Express Security Setup Page (continued)

Security Type

EAP

Authentication

WPA

Description

This option enables 802.1x authentication

(such as LEAP, PEAP, EAP-TLS,

EAP-GTC, EAP-SIM, and others) and requires you to enter the IP address and shared secret for an authentication server on your network (server authentication port

1645). Because 802.1x authentication provides dynamic encryption keys, you do not need to enter a WEP key.

Security Features Enabled

Mandatory 802.1x authentication.

Client devices that associate using this SSID must perform 802.1x authentication.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) permits wireless access to users authenticated against a database through the services of an authentication server, then encrypts their

IP traffic with stronger algorithms than those used in WEP. As with EAP authentication, you must enter the IP address and shared secret for an authentication server on your network

(server authentication port 1645).

Mandatory WPA authentication.

Client devices that associate using this SSID must be WPA-capable.

28

Express Security Limitations

Because the Express Security page is designed for simple configuration of basic security, the options available are a subset of the bridge security capabilities. Keep these limitations in mind when using the

Express Security page:

•

If the No VLAN option is selected, the static WEP key can be configured once. If you select Enable

VLAN, the static WEP key should be disabled.

•

•

•

•

•

•

You cannot edit SSIDs. However, you can delete SSIDs and re-create them.

You cannot assign SSIDs to specific radio interfaces. The SSIDs that you create are enabled on all radio interfaces. To assign SSIDs to specific radio interfaces, use the Security SSID Manager page.

You cannot configure multiple authentication servers. To configure multiple authentication servers, use the Security Server Manager page.

You cannot configure multiple WEP keys. To configure multiple WEP keys, use the Security

Encryption Manager page.

You cannot assign an SSID to a VLAN that is already configured on the bridge. To assign an SSID to an existing VLAN, use the Security SSID Manager page.

You cannot configure combinations of authentication types on the same SSID (for example, MAC address authentication and EAP authentication). To configure combinations of authentication types, use the Security SSID Manager page.

Note

For detailed information about security and security settings, refer to the Cisco IOS Software

Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points.

Using the Express Security Page

Follow these steps to create an SSID using the Express Security page:

Finding the IP Address Using the CLI

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Type the SSID in the SSID entry field. The SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

To broadcast the SSID in the bridge beacon, check the Broadcast SSID in Beacon check box. When you broadcast the SSID, devices that do not specify an SSID can associate to the bridge. This is a useful option for an SSID used by guests or by client devices in a public space. If you do not broadcast the

SSID, client devices cannot associate to the bridge unless their SSID matches this SSID. Only one SSID can be included in the bridge beacon.

(Optional) Check the Enable VLAN ID check box and enter a VLAN number (1 through 4095) to assign the SSID to a VLAN. You cannot assign an SSID to an existing VLAN.

(Optional) Check the Native VLAN check box to mark the VLAN as the native VLAN.

Select the security setting for the SSID. The settings are listed in order of robustness, from No Security to WPA, which is the most secure setting.

•

If you select Static WEP Key, choose the key number and encryption key size and enter the encryption key (10 hexidecimal characters for 40-bit keys or 26 hexidecimal characters for 128-bit keys).

•

If you select EAP Authentication or WPA, enter the IP address and shared secret for the authentication server on your network.

Note

If you do not use VLANs on your wireless LAN, the security options that you can assign to multiple SSIDs are limited. Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco

Aironet Access Points for VLAN details.

Step 6

Click Apply. The SSID appears in the SSID table at the bottom of the page.

Finding the IP Address Using the CLI

When you connect the access point to the wired LAN, the access point links to the network using a bridge virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the access point’s Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI.

To find the IP address of your access point using the console port, you can use the Cisco IOS CLI show

ip interface brief bvi1 from the privileged EXEC mode. For additional information on the CLI, refer to the

“Using the Command-Line Interface” section on page 5-1 .

Chapter 5 Using the Command-Line Interface

Cisco IOS Command Modes

Cisco IOS Command Modes

The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands available to you depend on the mode you are currently using. Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to obtain a list of commands available for each command mode. Refer to the Cisco IOS Command Reference for

Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges for a list of the supported Cisco IOS commands.

When you start a session on the access point, you begin in user mode, often called user EXEC mode.

Only a limited subset of the commands are available in user EXEC mode. For example, most of the user

EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. The user EXEC commands are not saved when the access point reboots.

To have access to all commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode. Normally, you must enter a password to enter privileged EXEC mode. You must enter privileged EXEC mode before you can enter the global configuration mode.

Using the configuration modes (global, interface, and line), you can make changes to the running configuration. If you save the configuration, these commands are stored and used when the access point reboots. To access the various configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode.

Table 5-1

describes the main command modes, how to access each one, the prompt you see in that mode, how to exit the mode, and how to use the mode. The examples in the table use the host name ap.

OL-6226-02


Getting Help

Getting Help

You can enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each command mode. You can also obtain a list of associated keywords and arguments for any command, as shown in

Table 5-2 .

Table 5-2 Help Summary

Command help

abbreviated-command-entry?

abbreviated-command-entry<Tab>

?

command ?

command keyword ?

Purpose

Obtains a brief description of the help system in any command mode.

Obtains a list of commands that begin with a particular character string.

For example: ap# di? dir disable disconnect

Completes a partial command name.

For example: ap# sh conf<tab> ap# show configuration

Lists all commands available for a particular command mode.

For example: ap> ?

Lists the associated keywords for a command.

For example: ap> show ?

Lists the associated arguments for a keyword.

For example: ap(config)# cdp holdtime ?

<10-255> Length of time (in sec) that receiver must keep this packet

Abbreviating Commands

You have to enter only enough characters for the access point to recognize the command as unique. If you do not enter enough characters, the access point indicate an error (% Unknown command). This example shows how to enter the show configuration privileged EXEC command: ap# show conf

OL-6226-02


5-3


Using no and default Forms of Commands

Using no and default Forms of Commands

Most configuration commands also have a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a feature or function or reverse the action of a command. For example, the no shutdown interface configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command without the keyword no to re-enable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default.

Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default values.

Understanding CLI Messages

Table 5-3 lists some error messages that you might encounter while using the CLI to configure your

access point.

Table 5-3 Common CLI Error Messages

Error Message

% Ambiguous command:

"show con"

Meaning

You did not enter enough characters for your access point to recognize the command.

How to Get Help

Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

In this example, the access-list global configuration command entry extends beyond one line. When the cursor first reaches the end of the line, the line is shifted ten spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) shows that the line has been moved to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, the line is again shifted ten spaces to the left. ap(config)# access-list 101 permit tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1 ap(config)# $ 101 permit tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1.20 255.25 ap(config)# $t tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1.20 255.255.255.0 eq ap(config)# $108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1.20 255.255.255.0 eq 45

After you complete the entry, press Ctrl-A to verify the complete syntax before pressing the Return key to execute the command. The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the line to show that the line has been shifted to the right: ap(config)# access-list 101 permit tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1$

The software assumes you have a terminal screen that is 80 columns wide. If you have a width other than that, use the terminal width privileged EXEC command to set the width of your terminal.

Use line wrapping with the command history feature to recall and modify previous complex command entries. For information about recalling previous command entries, see the

“Editing Commands with

Keystrokes” section on page 5-6 .

Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

You can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.

To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the pipe character (|), one of the keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search for or filter out:

command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter | exclude protocol the lines that contain

protocol are not displayed, but the lines that contain Protocol are displayed.

This example shows how to include in the output display only lines where the expression protocol appears: ap# show interfaces | include protocol

Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up

Vlan10 is up, line protocol is down

GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is down

GigabitEthernet0/2 is up, line protocol is up

Accessing the CLI

You can open the access point’s CLI using Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH).


Opening the CLI with Telnet

Follow these steps to open the CLI with Telnet. These steps are for a PC running Microsoft Windows with a Telnet terminal application. Check your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions for your operating system.

Step 1

Step 2

Choose Start > Programs > Accessories > Telnet.

If Telnet is not listed in your Accessories menu, choose Start > Run, type Telnet in the entry field, and press Enter.

When the Telnet window appears, click Connect and choose Remote System.

Note

In Windows 2000, the Telnet window does not contain drop-down menus. To start the Telnet session in Windows 2000, type open followed by the access point’s IP address.

Step 3

Step 4

In the Host Name field, type the access point’s IP address and click Connect.

At the username and password prompts, enter your administrator username and password. The default username is Cisco, and the default password is Cisco. The default enable password is also Cisco.

Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

Opening the CLI with Secure Shell

Secure Shell Protocol provides a secure, remote connection to networking devices set up to use it. Secure

Shell (SSH) is a software package that provides secure login sessions by encrypting the entire session.

SSH features strong cryptographic authentication, strong encryption, and integrity protection. For detailed information on SSH, visit the homepage of SSH Communications Security, Ltd. at this URL: http://www.ssh.com/

SSH provides more security for remote connections than Telnet by providing strong encryption when a device is authenticated. See the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for detailed instructions on setting up the access point for SSH access.

Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of lost connectivity with wireless clients. If the access point does not communicate with client devices, check the following areas.

Default IP Address Behavior

When you connect an 1130AG access point running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or later software with a default configuration to your LAN, the access point requests an IP address from your DHCP server, and if it does not receive an IP address, it continues to send requests indefinitely.

6-4


OL-6226-02



Default SSID and Radio Behavior

In Cisco IOS Relese 12.3(2)JA2 and earlier, the access point radios are enabled by default and the default

SSIDs are tsunami.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, the access point radios are disabled by default, and there are no default

SSIDs. You must create an SSID and enable the radio before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of


for instructions on configuring the SSID and the

“Enable Radio Interfaces” section on page 6-5

for instructions on enabling the radio interfaces.

Enable Radio Interfaces

To enable the radio interfaces, follow these instructions:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

Step 7

Step 8

Step 9

Step 10

Use your web-browser to access your access point.

When the Summary Status page displays, click Network Interfaces > Radio0-802.11B or

Radio0-802.11G and the radio status page displays.



Click Apply.

Click Network Interfaces > Radio0-802.11A and the radio status page displays.



Click Apply.

Close your web-browser.

SSID

Wireless clients attempting to associate with the access point must use the same SSID as the access point.

If a client device’s SSID does not match the SSID of an access point in radio range, the client device will not associate. The access point default SSID is tsunami. Refer to the

“Using the Express Security Page” section on page 3-13 for instructions on how to configure an SSID.

Note

The default SSID (tsunami) is not supported in access points running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA. You must configure an SSID before client devices can associate to the access point.

OL-6226-02


6-5


Low Power Condition

WEP Keys

The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your access point and any wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your client adapter to

0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set WEP Key 3 on the access point to exactly the same value. The access point does not need to use Key 3 as its transmit key, however.

Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting the access point’s WEP keys.

Security Settings

Wireless clients attempting to authenticate with your access point must support the same security options configured in the access point, such as EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity

Check (MIC), WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.

If a wireless client is unable to authenticate with your access point, contact the system administrator for proper security settings in the client adapter and for the client adapter driver and firmware versions that are compatible with the access point settings.

Note

The access point MAC address that appears on the Status page in the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) is the

MAC address for the access point radio. The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is printed on the label on the back of the access point.




The access point can be powered from the 48-VDC power module or from an in-line power source. The access point supports the IEEE 802.3af power standard, Cisco Pre-Standard PoE protocol, and Cisco

Intelligent Power Management for in-line power sources.

For full operation, the access point requires 12.95 W of power. The power module and Cisco Aironet power injectors are capable of supplying the required power for full operation, but some inline power sources are not capable of supplying 12.95 W. Also, some high-power inline power sources, might not be able to provide 12.95 W of power to all ports at the same time.

Note

An 802.3af compliant switch (Cisco or non-Cisco) is capable of supplying sufficient power for full operation.

Note



6-6


OL-6226-02



On power up, the access point is placed into low power mode (both radios are disabled), Cisco IOS software loads and runs, and power negotiation determines if sufficient power is available. If there is sufficient power then the radios are turned on; otherwise, the access point remains in low power mode with the radios disabled to prevent a possible over-current condition. In low power mode, the access point activates the Status LED low power error indication, displays a low power message on the browser

and serial interfaces, and creates an event log entry (see the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on page 6-2

and

“Inline Power Status Messages” section on page 6-7 ).

Intelligent Power Management

The access point requires 12.95 W of power for full power operation with both radios, but only needs

6.3 W of power when operating in low power mode with both radios disabled. To help avoid an over-current condition with low power sources and to optimize power usage on Cisco switches, Cisco developed Intelligent Power Management, which uses Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to allow powered devices (such as your access point) to negotiate with a Cisco switch for sufficient power.

The access point supports Intelligent Power Management and as a result of the power negotiations, the access point will either enter full power mode or remain in low power mode with the radios disabled.

Note

Independent of the power negotiations, the access point hardware also uses the 802.3af classification scheme to indicate the power required from the power source. However, the power source cannot report the power available to the access point unless the power source also supports Intelligent Power

Management.

Some Cisco switches that are capable of supplying sufficient power require a software upgrade to support Intelligent Power Management. If the software upgrade is not desired, you can configure the access point to operate in pre-standard compatibility mode and the access point automatically enters full power mode if these Cisco switches are detected in the received CDP ID field.

When the access point determines that sufficient power is not available for full power operation, an error message is logged and the Status LED turns amber to indicate low power mode (see the

“Checking the

Access Point LEDs” section on page 6-2

and the “Inline Power Status Messages” section on page 6-7

).

Tip

If your switch is capable of supplying sufficient power for full operation but the access point remains in low-power mode, your access point or your switch (or both) might be misconfigured (see

Table 6-2

and

Table 6-3

).

If your inline power source is not able to supply sufficient power for full operation, you should consider these options:

•

•

•

Upgrade to a higher-powered switch

Use a Cisco Aironet power injector on the switch port

Use the 48-VDC power module to locally power the access point

Inline Power Status Messages

These messages are logged on the console port by the access point to report the power condition:

•

%CDP_PD-4-POWER_OK: Full Power - AC_ADAPTOR inline power source—This message indicates the access point is using the power module and can support full-power operation.

<xxxx.xxxx.xxxx> indicates the MAC address of the switch port.

Note

You need to upgrade the software on the Cisco switch to support Intelligent Power

Management or configure the access point for pre-standard compatibility.

Configuring Power Using the CLI

Intelligent Power Management support is dependent on the version of software resident in the Cisco switch that is providing power to the access point. Each Cisco switch should be upgraded to support

Intelligent Power Management. Until the software is upgraded, you can configure the access point to operate with older switch software using the following Cisco IOS CLI command:

[no] power inline negotiation {prestandard source | injector H.H.H}

(where H.H.H is the MAC address of the switch port to which the access point is connected)

You can use this Cisco IOS CLI command to inform the access point of the following:

•

The Cisco switch does not support Intelligent Power Management but should be able to supply sufficient power.

•

A power injector is being used to supply sufficient power and the Cisco switch does not support

Intelligent Power Management.

Refer to

Table 6-2

for information on when to use this special Cisco IOS command and the corresponding Cisco switch power command.

Caution

If the access point receives power through PoE, the output current of the power sourcing equipment

(PSE) cannot exceed 400 mA per port. The power source must comply with IEEE802.3af or IEC60950 for limited power sources.

Note

After completing your configuration changes, you must remove the serial console cable from the access point.

Appendix E Console Cable Pinouts

Overview

Overview

The access point requires a special serial cable that connects the access point serial console port (RJ-45 connector) to your PC’s COM port (DB-9 connector). This cable can be purchased from Cisco or can be built using the pinouts in this appendix.

Note

The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ordering/index.shtml

to order a serial cable.

Console Port Signals and Pinouts

Use the console RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect the access point’s console port to the COM port of your PC running a terminal emulation program.

Note

Both the Ethernet and console ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful to avoid accidently connecting the serial cable to the Ethernet port connector.

Note

After completing your configuration changes, you must remove the serial console cable from the access point.

Table E-1

lists the signals and pinouts for the console RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable.
