Hi list, I have some experience with setting up Aironet wireless networks, but up until now, I have not extended their range by the use of repeaters. I was trying to get it to work yesterday, but unfortunately, I hit some problems. I'm using Aironet 1242, 802.11G interfaces.
I managed to get the repeater to associate to the root AP (only once, though, shouldn't it associate twice, once for the AP, once for it's virtual interface?). The status light on the repeater was a steady blue, instead of the steady green it was supposed to be (?). When clients associated with the root AP, they were fine. Everything worked smoothly. When they associated with the repeater, they could not go any further than to the repeater. That is, they could ping and telnet to the repeater, but not to the root AP, or anything behind it. When telnet'd into the repeater, I could ping/telnet/whatever from there, though. Any hints? Here's the config for both: AP1 (root AP): Current configuration : 1794 bytes ! version 12.4 no service pad service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec service password-encryption ! hostname xxx_ap1 ! enable secret 5 <deleted> ! no aaa new-model ! resource policy ! ip subnet-zero ! ! ! dot11 ssid xxx authentication open guest-mode ! ! ! username yyy password 7 <deleted> bridge irb ! ! interface Dot11Radio0 no ip address no ip route-cache ! encryption key 1 size 40bit 7 <deleted> transmit-key encryption mode wep mandatory ! ssid xxx ! speed basic-1.0 2.0 5.5 11.0 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 channel 2437 station-role root access-point bridge-group 1 bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source no bridge-group 1 source-learning no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled ! interface Dot11Radio1 no ip address no ip route-cache shutdown ! encryption key 1 size 40bit 7 <deleted> transmit-key encryption mode wep mandatory ! ssid xxx ! no dfs band block channel dfs station-role root bridge-group 1 bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source no bridge-group 1 source-learning no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled ! interface FastEthernet0 no ip address no ip route-cache duplex auto speed auto bridge-group 1 no bridge-group 1 source-learning bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled ! interface BVI1 ip address x.y.z.201 255.255.255.0 no ip route-cache ! ip default-gateway x.y.z.1 ip http server no ip http secure-server ip http help-path http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/779/smbiz/prodconfig/help/eag ! control-plane ! bridge 1 route ip ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 login local ! end AP2 (repeater): version 12.4 no service pad service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec service password-encryption ! hostname xxx_ap2 ! enable secret 5 <deleted> no aaa new-model ! resource policy ! ip subnet-zero ! ! ! dot11 ssid xxx authentication open guest-mode infrastructure-ssid ! ! ! username yyy password 7 <deleted> bridge irb ! ! interface Dot11Radio0 no ip address no ip route-cache ! encryption key 1 size 40bit 7 <deleted> transmit-key encryption mode wep mandatory ! ssid fjolugata ! speed basic-1.0 2.0 5.5 11.0 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 station-role repeater bridge-group 1 bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source no bridge-group 1 source-learning no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled ! interface Dot11Radio1 no ip address no ip route-cache shutdown ! encryption key 1 size 40bit 7 <deleted> transmit-key encryption mode wep mandatory ! ssid xxx ! no dfs band block channel dfs station-role root bridge-group 1 bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source no bridge-group 1 source-learning no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled ! interface FastEthernet0 no ip address no ip route-cache duplex auto speed auto bridge-group 1 no bridge-group 1 source-learning bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled ! interface BVI1 ip address x.y.z.202 255.255.255.0 no ip route-cache ! ip default-gateway x.y.z.1 ip http server no ip http secure-server ip http help-path http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/779/smbiz/prodconfig/help/eag ! control-plane ! bridge 1 route ip ! ! ! line con 0 line vty 0 4 login local ! end Thanks in advance, Kristo _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
