Need some basic help configuring a CISCO892W-AGN-E-K9

fred.appelman
Level 1
Level 1

My knowledge is very basic so please bear me with me.

I just bought a CISCO892W-AGN-E-K9. This device has two indepent wireless antenna's, an 8 port internal switch plus two WAN links, 1 Gigabit Ethernet and a fast ethernet port and finally a backup ISDN line. I am not going to use the ISDN.

I am trying to get start with some very basic activity which is enabling the Gigabit Ethernet (or the FE, I don't care). My plan was to either give it a static IP address or a DHCP address. A DHCP server is present.

The first issue is that the WAN ports don't seem to be accessible. If I connect either of the WAN ports and power up the device they don't seem to be enabled, sending out DHCP or the like etc.

So I changed strategy and connected one of the internal switch ports. That works. It apparently does an DHCP over the 8 port switch and it does get an IP and so I can use telnet to login to the device. I am missing some converter so I haven't been able to use the console port.

So when I log in into the device I do find the GE but I can't find the FE or the switch port.

* GigabitEthernet0         0     0    0     0  3000    3     0    0    0

So it seems that the GE interface is connected to the internal switch. Where are my wlan ports?

Any help is appreciated. Just to be sure I'll append the show interfaces output and the running config (which is the default config).

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.

I have never used this device before, but apparently the APs are embedded and don't have external interfaces.

Have a look at this config guide on how to configure them:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/1900/software/configuration/guide/wlan.html

HTH

First of all thank you for your help. As I said in my introduction I am an absolute beginner, nevertheless I try to follow the guido you referenced.

I run into a couple of issues:

  • There is no wlan-ap0 interface. So I assume it has to be the Gigabit interface.
  • I assign an IP to that interface (Not pingable though)
  • Then while in config-if I cannot issue an interface command. It is not there.

I did notice I can create an interface named GigabitEthernet 0.1 if that helps.

If someone can spoonfeed me this, that would be highly appreciated.

Hi Fred,

You may try to configure 892 initially through CCP which is GUI oriented and get it working and then move to CLI if you are not comfortable with it yet.

More about CCP:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9422/index.html

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps9422/data_sheet_c78_462210.html

HTH,

Alex

Unfortunately I can't find it through the GUI either. I started with the GUI and then decided to move the CLI.

I even tried to install Install Express Pro (If I remember the name correctly). Once I tried to unpack the tar file from flash I got an error that a filename could not be longer than 40 chars. So halfway through the unpack failed.

So, you do have a Gig interface and it is in up and up mode.  In your previous post, you said you could not access the Gig interface, if so, how did you configure the IP address than (10.10.10.10)?

Sorry for the confusion. I added the IP address manually as part of the experimenting.

interface GigabitEthernet0

description the embedded AP GigabitEthernet 0 is an internal interface connecting AP with the host router

ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0

no ip route-cache

bridge-group 1

no bridge-group 1 source-learning

bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

!

The issue is that although it says it is up, it can not be reached. Not from the inside or the outside.

Just to add to my own reply. So I don't know if this the somehow the inside (LAN switch) or the outside (GE). I ping it from both sides just to be sure.

Ok, so what is connected to this Gig interface right now?

I am *assuming* that the Gig interface is the Wan interface. I have connected the WAN inteface will a small switch (Am SG200). On the switch the Gig interface is *NOT* up.

Is the SG200 port also Gig?

If yes, on the 892 Gig interface can you delete this command and see if the interface comes up

no bridge-group 1

then

sh ip int bri

Yes the SG200 is 10/100/1000. I inserted it for that reason.

I cannot remove the bridge group:

cisco-ap(config-if)#no bridge-group 1

%command not allowed, cannot remove bridge-group 1

Thank you for the help so far. It will have to wait until tomorrow for futher updates.

In the config there is a section:

interface BVI1

ip address dhcp client-id GigabitEthernet0

no ip route-cache

!

Does this mean that this logical interface takes the IP address from the GE interface? That IP (10.0.83.99) is on internal (LAN) side and not on the external (WAN) side. This is so confusing.

cisco-ap#sh ip in brief

Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

BVI1                       10.0.83.99      YES DHCP   up                    up

Dot11Radio0                unassigned      YES NVRAM  administratively down down

Dot11Radio1                unassigned      YES NVRAM  administratively down down

GigabitEthernet0           10.10.10.10     YES manual up                    up

So where are the interfaces for the WAN GE or WAN FE interface?
