Cisco 1131AG Access Point won't broadcast

Gerard Roy — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 03:26:41 GMT

Can someone tell me what I did wrong here? I only added two additional ssid's and now the unit won't broadcast any of them.

Configuration attached is for an 800-series router and not an AP.

So how did you deduce that?

Your configuration has five physical interfaces only an 8X1 router has.

Since this is clearly not the case. Anyone else have any ideas?

Can you please post the config of your AP?

You are missing a few lines of config to allow some of your SSID to broadcast. They are:

dot11 ssid

mbssid guest-mode

interface Dot11Radio0

mbssid

interface Dot11Radio1

mbssid

Thanks for the response. I just figured it out about 30 mins ago.

Actually, Logs are saying it can't associate. I get a %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, station (mac address) associated KEY_MGMT[WPA-PSK] but it never associates. Not sure iof this is an IP assignment issue or a WPA-PSK issue. I have confirm PSK is same on both sides.

If you are talking about the config of your 8X1 router then it's because of the router's number of VLAN support. The 850 will support only one (1) VLAN while the 870 will support two (2) VLANs running 12.4 and 15.0 IOS. The 870 will support up to ten (10) VLANs if it's running IOS version 12.3.

OK. I just saw the config of your switch. No VLAN instance. This is probably a 2912XL or a 3512XL.

... If you connect to the SSID of "argus" can you get an IP address? You will only get the IP address from the SSID "argus".

Yes Argus worked. So my switch is pretty much worthless then? Is this because 802.1q? What a Rip-off from Cisco. Thanks again!

Thanks for the ratings.

The switch, either 2900XL or 3500XL, is still pretty "decent". The issue is probably your router. What exact router model is it?

Gerard Roy — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 02:54:18 GMT

Actually it is an 881W. Not too shabby little unit.

Ok. If it's an 880, then it can support up to 8 VLANs. If the router is in somewhere in the network then you need to create ALL the VLANs in your AP.

For the 2900XL/3500XL you create the VLAN using the VLAN database. The command is: vlan database

To create additional VLAN, say VLAN 5, just enter "vlan 5".

To save your VLAN Database, enter the command "exit" and this will save and exit your session to the VLAN database.

Thanks for the vlan detail. I know this stuff half way decent so no problems there :). Actually 881 supports 12 Vlans. sh vtp status shows max vlans supported locally are 12 and the number of existing are 11. I set the router as the vtp server (see attached visio), set all three switches as vtp clients and set the vtp domain and password so all can communicate. I created all vlans on the router and they have successfully propogated to all three switches. Also, as you can see from the ap config uploaded previously, all vlans are created on AP. So why is it that only "argus" on vlan1 will give out an ip address from the router? Why not vlan 7 and 8 (dhcp scopes are configured on the router). I have also attached the router config.

Re: Cisco 1131AG Access Point won't broadcast

Gerard Roy — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 20:02:23 GMT

What I am not understanding is the reason my wireless client cannot receive an IP from the dhcp scopes for vlan 7 or 8 configured on my router when the vlans have already fully populated the switches?

Re: Cisco 1131AG Access Point won't broadcast

interface FastEthernet0/3

description Cisco 1131 Access Point - 4

switchport mode trunk

no snmp trap link-status

Your AP is configured to a switch port (VLAN 1) because it's missing the command line "switchport trunk encap dot1". Try it and see if it will work.

I have the very latest version of IOS for the switch and the command is not supported ☹ It only offers allowed, native and pruning. Damn WS-C2950-12 looks like it only supports arpa on the interface. I remember this. It was a huge issue because they delayed following the standards. Cisco really pisses me off sometimes with the games.

Nuts. I didn't know you have the 2950. All along I thought it was something older.

If that is the case then it's ok. That command is not "valid" because it's already enable by default.

Can you please post the command "sh vlan"?
