Need assitance with setting up Cisco Aironet 1200

Having little to no experience is setting up a WAP, I am looking for some help.
I have it already set up as a basic config. I have the BVI1 interface configured for my local network (10.0.4.251/25) and need the WAP to basically function like a simple bridge, where the 3560 is driving the DHCP, as it already does for the rest of the network.
I need to have the IP network 10.0.4.0/24 handed out to the wireless devices, with simple password access and no broadcast of the SSID.

Thanks and I love this site.

I walked the process shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RE55VBsyDE&list=WLK7a47Sy4vAxCu3HqxKRV2XZDFBMWi7iE, but I am not able to connect a device to it.

post your config

The internal network I need it to connect to is Vlan 4 10.0.4.0/24.

Thanks

How many vlans do you have for your data networks? I may be be able to help you but in my network I have 1 vlan for data and 1 for voice if your topology is similar I can give you a hand.

There are 4 VLANs in total, but the main VLAN for Data is VLAN 4 and VLAN 1 is for voice. The device I am trying to connect to the WAP is an IP Camera.

I assume dhcp is all setup so whatever connects to the ports in vlan 4 on the switch gets the correct ip addresses right?

Well, it should, but the IP Camera is set up with a static IP 10.0.4.250.

The ap is only giving out ip addresses from vlan 4 correct?

Are you able to ping the BVI IP address from another device on vlan 4? Just verifying basic connectivity.

Yep. Basic connectivity is good to go.
Access to the GUI is good.

Log into the GUI and go to the antenna's and make sure they are enabled. By default they are disabled. Sometimes the GUI is slow, so make sure the whole page loads before trying to enable the antenna.

I can set it up to broadcast and I can see the SSID on a scan.
But, I can't connect to it.

So are you getting prompted to enter in the network key that you set? Try to remove the network key and leave it open and see if you can connect. I have seen some new devices not able to connect to WEP encryption as its too low of security. Needs to be at least WPA2 or just wide open.

The Foscom Cameras don't really auto prompt to enter in key info. You have to select the authentication type first.

I will look at it some more tomorrow in the AM.

Anyone still able to help?

Is the port that the AP is plugged into set as a trunking port and trunking over your vlan 4? Also instead of trying to get the IP camera on wireless can you hard wire it just to make sure its working and that you can in fact ping it?

I deal with APs a lot, but mainly in LWAPP mode from a Controller. I am looking around to see if I have a spare AP in autonomous mode to drop your config on to test.

The port from the WAP to the 3560 is set as an access port.

The issue that I am seeing is not the connectivity from the WAP to the 3560, but from the IP Wireless Camera to the WAP.
If I set the SSID to broadcast, I can see it on the Camera from the scan function.
If I select it from the camera, with the camera having a static IP set, the WAP does not show it in the associates tab and the camera does not connect.

I am currently on Yahoo messenger, if that would be better then working over the forum here.

Only have Skype in the office..

What happens if you remove the static on the camera and just let DHCP assign something to it? Also take off all encryption on the WAP and broadcast the SSID, then try to get the camera to connect.

Can you get a laptop or another wireless device to connect to the WAP as it sits right now?

Ken~

Tried to move it to a trunk, and it failed.

Don't think the FA port is available for the trunk setting.

Update.

A different wireless device tried to connect. it seems to have peered, but no IP was given.

SO, new development here.
I can get the WAP to associate with the wireless devices, but the ones with static IPs will show up, the ones looking for DHCP from the switch never receive an IP.
Plus the Wireless device with the static IP, is not able to ping to the WAP, and vice versa. But, the switch can ping to the FA and BVI interface.

You need to change your bridge-groups to 1 not 4.... think of a BVI as a vlan within the AP; but it doesn't isolate after the AP....

On second thought; if you only have 1 SSID why are you even using sub interfaces? Also you may be having an issue with WEP; can you use WPA?

I still don't understand why you want to do it this way but w.e. we'll roll with it....

First add "sw trunk allowed vlan 1,4" onto your trunk link....

Clear your config on your AP and put this on it... not how I'd do it but I do not have enough information for VLAN 1 and you need to do more research on IBR...

If you ever decide to push that vlan 1 you will just need to create an ssid for it....

I think your issue is you think that BVI interfaces and bridge groups are tied to VLANs. They are not... The interface BVI is tied to a bridge group which is tied to the sub interfaces on the radio and ethernet interface....

EDIT: In case your wondering you can delete the interface BVI1 and use 4 if you wanted; the problem is that there is a process to delete it b/c its assigned to the fa0 interface and it will not allow you while the BVI is up; so in your case where your all ready having issues its easier for me to just assign the BVI1 and bridge-group 1 to your subinterface for vlan 4...

If you ever decide to push that vlan 1 you will just need to create an ssid for it....

I think your issue is you think that BVI interfaces and bridge groups are tied to VLANs. They are not... The interface BVI is tied to a bridge group which is tied to the sub interfaces on the radio and ethernet interface....

EDIT: In case your wondering you can delete the interface BVI1 and use 4 if you wanted; the problem is that there is a process to delete it b/c its assigned to the fa0 interface and it will not allow you while the BVI is up; so in your case where your all ready having issues its easier for me to just assign the BVI1 and bridge-group 1 to your subinterface for vlan 4...

Oh yeah. We got it!!!! Thanks for all the help.
