The site in question has a 3620 running IOS 12.1. Its upstream ISP uses DHCP to transfer things like IP address and DNS server address(es), so the router will have its upstream Ethernet interface configured as a DHCP client.The downstream LAN, connec...
I have a laptop I've used for several years while configuring AP1230's in the field. A couple of weeks ago, it suddenly stopped being able to use AP1230's as WGB's. When connected to the AP1230's Ethernet port, they can see each other just fine - but...
We use AP1230's as AP's and as workgroup bridges (WGB's) so we have Cisco on both ends of the RF link. We'd like to control the amount of upstream bandwidth from wireless clients while leaving the download side unrestricted.IOS on routers supports th...
I've RTFM'd everywhere but cannot find anything definitive regarding the differences between AP+client versus bridge+bridge modes.Presume you have a pair of AP1200's. First test case: One is in AP mode and the other is in WGB mode. Second test case: ...
Cisco's docs precisely contradict themselves on this topic. In some places they state clearly that configuring an AP1200 as a root bridge means it will NOT accept connections from normal wireless clients. In other places they state just as clearly th...
I do believe it's possible to configure the DHCP server in IOS to transfer static DNS addresses, and I'll do that if I can confirm the ISP's DNS server addresses are consistent. But if they're not, I'll still need a way to convey those dynamic addres...
Upgrading is no problem, though I notice that the latest version available for the 3620 is 12.3.26 (i.e. no 12.4 versions). Looks like that's barely late enough to get the features you mention.This leaves one unanswered question: What about the upstr...
I finally have this resolved, though I don't know **precisely** how it happened.The switch itself wasn't the problem. However, it was the connection through which the problem was conveyed into the test environment. Turns out there is some device, som...
Latest update....In the above test environment, I can now turn this weird behavior on and off at will.How?By connecting or disconnecting an Ethernet switch that happens to be hanging off the subnet.All along this has "felt" and "smelled" like an ARP ...
OK, new (at least the first I've noticed it) behavior. I have the troubled laptop running continuous pings to three devices: The near bridge (WGB), the far bridge (rootbridge), and a router on the other side of the rootbridge. The laptop ties into th...
