Cisco Aironet 700i standalone configuration

sagarshaha — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 11:10:29 GMT

Hi,

I'm relevantly new to Cisco products. So, please pardon my basic questions.

I have Cisco Aironet 700 series AP(AIR-SAP702I-Q-K9). I dont have controller. I need to configure this as standalone access point.

I tried all the basic steps and tried activating on both the radios but no luck. Can someone please guide me on how to configure this as AP.

I'm using web access to configure the AP.

Please help

Thanks,

Sagar

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for your quick response. I tried to go throught the links above with Single SSID config but I'm unable to follow since it has vlan enabled and I dont have any vlan in my network.

Also, it will be great if you can share the links on how to configure the AP using webaccess.

Many Thanks,

Sagar

sagarshaha — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:43:27 GMT

Also, I dont want to activate dhcp on this AP as it should pickup the dhcp from router. Please suggest the revised config too.

The AP configuration looks

Sandeep Choudhary — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 10:41:38 GMT

The AP configuration looks fine,

1. No you can not connect AP to a workstation then it will not work.

AP must connect to swicth/router. You can DHCP pool on swicth/router.

Can you share the steps on how to have only one pool between switch and router.

Thanks

HI Sagar,

Sandeep Choudhary — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 10:51:14 GMT

HI Sagar,

Please paste the topology.

you told that you will connect the AP directly to router ???

Then create DHCP pool on Router:

ip dhcp pool Wireless
   network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 192.168.1.1
   dns-server 4.2.2.2

is there any switch in between ?

Remove pool from AP by using

Sandeep Choudhary — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:23:08 GMT

Remove pool from AP by using these commands: no ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.11 ! no ip dhcp pool ADKPOOL Regards

Hi Sandeep,

sagarshaha — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 05:02:02 GMT

Hi Sandeep,

Sorry for delay in response as I was away for couple of days.

So, after removing DHCP pool from AP users are able to connect and use the wifi but some of the users are still unable to connect saying "Unable to connect to the network"

I also seen that only 2.4GHz band is active and not 5GHz. Will that be the problem?

Can you please help me in re-configuring the same

Appreciate all your help !!

Thanks,

Sagar
