%DOT11-4-NO_SSID: No SSID configured. Dot11Radio0 not started

[Andrew Duffield]

Hi,

I am trying to configure the ap on a Cisco 887VAMW router but cannot get the Dot11Radio 0 interface to come up, it is stuck on 'reset'

Here is my config:

ap(config)#do sh run

Default username/password setup on AP is cisco/cisco with privilege level 15.
It is strongly suggested that you create a new username with privilege level
15 using the following command for console security.

username <myuser> privilege 15 secret 0 <mypassword>
no username cisco

Replace <myuser> and <mypassword> with the username and password you want to
use. After you change your username/password you can turn off this message
by configuring  "no banner login" and "no banner exec" in privileged mode.

Hi,

Can you check the below mentioned configuration, which is working one... pulled out this from a blog....

If you want an MBSSID setup, you have lacking configuration and incorrect as well:

I'll give you a new sample:

dot11 ssid TEST

  vlan 1

  authentication mode open

  authentication key-management wpa version 2

  wpa-psk ascii <yourpassword>

  mbssid guest-mode               -One of your mistakes, if you want mbssid, only this line is required

interface dot11radio 0

encryption vlan 1 mode ciphers tkip

  ssid TEST

  mbssid

  no shutdown

interface dot11radio 0.1

  encapsulation dot1q 1 native

  bridge-group 1

interface gigabitethernet0.1

  encapsulation dot1q 1 native

  bridge-group 1

Done!

In your setup, the AP does not know that VLAN1 is the native, its native is the native radio,
that is why we create a sub-interface for it :)

Also 'bridge-group 1' should always exist in the native VLAN,
If you want to add more SSID, just do the same (of course skipping the 'native' on the rest) and adding another bridge-group ex; bridge-group 2 vice versa
