Aironet 1242AG

I juts bought an Aironet 1242AG, I went and I reset the AP by pressing the mode button while plugging the power cable. I see that the AP has 10.0.0.1 default address. So, I went into my MAc and I setup my computer Ip as 10.0.0.10 with 255.255.255.0. When I try to ping I get the following:
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
- I went into the router and I assigned an ip address of 10.0.0.1 just in case, but no luck. Can anybody help me out. I also try to access thru the web browser, still no good.

Fa0 is part of BVI1 which is requesting a DHCP address using the MAC address of Fa0. You should give BVI1 a static IP or use whatever the DHCP server has assigned it. Fa0 shouldn't have any IP address if it is part of a bridge group.

Run "sho ip int bri" to see what is the assigned IP address.

Thanks, is working now.

Good to hear.

You should upgrade the firmware on your AP. Cisco lets you download the firmware for their APs with just a guest level account. The latest I believe is 12.4(21a)JA1 for an autonomous AP1242AG. Make sure you get the autonomous version and not the LWAPP version however.
