Cisco 1100 and 1200 Series APs Configuration Guide Field Verified


Known Limitations 1. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) must be disabled in this configuration (default is “on”). WMM is

a global setting, therefore WMM may not be used for any Wi-Fi devices on this network.

2. Avaya's push-to-talk (PTT) functionality, available in wireless IP telephones, does not work in this configuration because of limitations with the way that multicast traffic is passed through the WLSM.

3. Cisco Fast Secure Roaming (FSR) has limited functionality in this configuration, therefore, it is not recommended. Avaya recommends WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK for this configuration.

Notes on Configuration

The AP must support SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP). Contact your AP vendor if you need to upgrade the AP software.

Initial Setup Go to the Cisco Download site at www.cisco.com and download the latest version of firmware for the access point (AP) and WLSM modules.

If you encounter difficulties or have questions regarding the configuration process, please contact your local Cisco's customer service at www.cisco.com.

WLSM Setup For an introduction and set up guide for Cisco’s Catalyst 6500 Switch, go to the following links:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/wlsmdig.htm and

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps3915/products_white_paper09186a00801d8630.shtml

The minimum components required are a Catalyst 6500 chassis, Supervisory 720 module and a Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM). Either a Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE ) or a RADIUS server are required for AAA Authentication.

The 6500 chassis has only one Ethernet port connection, which is a gigabit port. An Ethernet Module can be added to the 6500 chassis or an external switch used. An external switch must support 802.1Q VLAN’s and have at least one Gigabit port.

Two 20 amp wall circuits are required for powering the unit.

Sample configuration files for the Sup 720 and WLSM modules are shown at the end of this document.

AP Setup The APs have to be configured to work within the WLSM environment. The settings shown in the examples in this document correspond to the settings in the configuration files for the WLSM setup.

Mapping The table below shows how the different modules map to each other.


Assigning an IP address to a new AP 1. Connect the PC’s serial port to the AP via the command line interface (CLI) cable. Run a

terminal program set to 9600 baud.

2. At the prompt, type enable.

3. Type the password, default password is Cisco.

4. Type the command configure terminal.

5. Type the command interface BVI 1.

6. Type ip address <ip address> <net mask>.

7. Type end and then type write mem to save configuration.

Connecting to the AP Connect to the AP via Netscape or Internet Explorer by navigating to the URL: http://<IP_Addr> (where <IP_Addr> is the IP address of the AP).

Installing software on the AP 1. Download the appropriate firmware for your model AP from the Cisco IOS Software

Downloads Web site.

2. Connect to the AP via a web browser, preferably IE. Turn off pop-up blocking.

3. Click SYSTEM SOFTWARE.

4. Click Software Upgrade

5. Click the HTTP UPGRADE tab.

6. Use the Browse button to select the target image.

7. Click the Upgrade button.

8. Allow for at least five minutes for the upgrade to complete. The progress of the upgrade can be tracked via the AP’s LEDs.

Center LED RED means image is being downloaded.

All LEDs ON means AP is decompressing the image, rebooting, etc.

Top LED GREEN, radio and status LEDs blinking means Ethernet connectivity OK, normal operation.

9. The Web browser opens a window indicating the amount of time since the upgrade started. After the upgrade is completed, this window may stay open. The user will need to close these window(s) and refresh the Web browser’s connection to the AP.

The rest of the configuration can easily be done through the browser interface.

Log into the AP via a Web browser using the IP address assigned in the above step.


Configuring Security Main Security screen The Security Summary screen below shows the configurations of three VLANS.

VLANs are set up to work with different encryptions and SSIDs. Network IDs are assigned to the corresponding tunnel ID on the SUP 720.

Note that the configurations shown below depict the configuration of three different SSIDs with three different encryption types.

For example:

BBK VLAN 1 WPA-PSK/AES

ADG VLAN2 WPA-PSK/TKIP

FSR VLAN3 CCKM/TKIP (which was not used during this testing)
