Question for the group.... Is Airmagnet still the Cisco preferred wireless site survey tool? How does Ekahau rate in comparison these days? I have lots of experience in both (although I haven't used Ekahau for about 5 years now). I prefer Airmagnet, but maybe Ekahau is "better" now? Is there an alternative to these 2 tools that Cisco has "endorsed"? Measurements needed in any alternate tools are typical... heat maps, interference, data rates, signal strengths, ability to plan and simulate, etc... Thanks!   ... View more

We have a 3925 with (2) SM-ES3G-24-P: modules that is supposed to replace an existing 1941 and 2960-S 48 port switch. I would like to keep the VLAN, addressing, routing the same as it currently is, but I am not sure if it is possible to combine these (2) SM-ES3G-24-P: modules on the router to look like (1) 48 port switch so all the ports on both modules are on the same vlan and under the same subnet.  The router shows the 2 modules under 2 separate interfaces (i.e. Gig1/0 and gig 2/0) The router will not allow both modules to be in the same subnet... is there something I am missing or is it impossible to combine these so I have 48 ports in the same subnet? Thanks ... View more

I am trying to setup an 1142 as an office extend AP with a 5508 controller, but have not yet been successful... The AP joins the controller across the internet and through the firewall fine, and I see clients probing the AP, but none will associate.  If I look at the log on the AP, I see it joining the controller and the DTLS tunnel coming up: *Dec 23 14:15:49.592: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to UP *Dec 23 14:15:49.772: %CAPWAP-5-JOINEDCONTROLLER: AP has joined controller SVB_WLC04 *Dec 23 14:15:49.825: %CAPWAP-5-DATA_DTLS_START: Starting Data DTLS handshake.

I am NATing the internal controller's management interface to 65.121.114.230 on my firewall.  The AP has a Public IP statically assigned to it and the rules set in the firewall allow all ports between this AP and Controller (at least for now until the testing is complete). I have H-REAP enabled for the AP mode, and Enable Office Extend AP is checked under the H-REAP tab. I have tried this with H-REAP Local Switching both enabled and disabled...no change in the log. I have tried this with Data Encryption enabled and disabled...no change in the log. I even disabled the radios on the AP temporarily and still see the message in the log... Anyone have an idea of what this error means, or what I am missing to get this to work? Thanks in advance... ... View more

I am trying to assign a static ip and default gateway to my LAP through the CLI, but after I reboot it, I lose the config and it reverts back to dhcp. Is there any command to save the config to the AP through the CLI?  I've tried all I can think of (i.e. wr mem, copy run start, etc...) and have looked throught the available commands but cannot figure out a way to do it... Thanks, ... View more
