Hi by default the WLC do not have multicast enable and bonjour works with multicast. If the access points are on the same subnet as the WLC then you just need to enable multicast on the WLC, enable broadcast forwarding, IGNMP snooping , set the multicast group and under the WLAN enable multicast. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_tech_note09186a0080bb1d7c.shtml If the access points are on a different subnet then the WLC then you will need to enable multicast on the WLC and also layer 3 multicast between the WLC subnet and the Access point subnet. ...

Hi, the Cisco 891W or 881W  come with a build in AP module inside that would be like having a router connected with an Ethernet cable to an stand alone access point but instead of having the 2 devices the AP module is embedded inside the router. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10194/index.html http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9556/index.html ...

Hi, To be able to replace the cisco enterprise access points like the 1250 you need to open the case with the serial number of the access point itself and the power injector or AC adpater will be covered with the same service level as the access point itself. ... View more

Hi , Remember that when working with wireless we should always do a site survey to be able to determine the current RF interference the site has, which channels are being used by other access points and how strong the signal is seen to those APs from where you are located. Then determine how many access points to get to cover the required area, where to locate each access point, how to distribute the 3 non overlapping channels 1-6-11 in the 20.4GHZ) between your access points and the 3 rd party access points so that they do not create interference leaving the access points with the same channel the further apart, what power levels to use so that the overlap of the cell between your access points and 3 rd party access points is not more than 15%, etc. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_q_and_a_item09186a00805e9a96.shtml You can do tweaking as you mention on the access point settings to try to get the wireless clients to connect but which exact setting would work would be provided by the site survey results or configuring and testing until you get it to work. I would disable aironet extensions on the radio, set the data rates to best range and set the 3 non overlapping channel between your 3 access points to see how it goes. ... View more

Hi, To convert the IOS units to LWAPP you do not need to use the conversion tool, the tool is used for old model of access points. https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-25068 ... View more

Hi, When working with a WLAN with no layer 2 encryption any wireless device that sees the SSID will by default try to connect and get an IP address from the DHCP server which is expected when working with layer 3 web authentication but as you are seeing the wireless client will not be able to pass traffic until it gets authenticated via the web authentication option. Here you could set the SSID not to broadcast but every time you have a wireless client trying to connect to the WIFI you will need to add the SSID and then once they go remove it becasue they will still have it in memorry. Or if someone gives it to them they will be able to re add it. The only option would be that you enable layer 2 authentication with layer 3 web authentication at the same time. ... View more

Hi, The AP you have is AIR-LAP1252AG-N-K9 which is a LWAPP unit and does not work in standalone mode and does not have a GUI (WEB) interface. For it to work you need to get a WLC and you access the WLC GUI interface. Do you need the acces point in standalone or are you working with a WLC? To know if an AP came with IOS or LWAPP you can check on the part number, if the part number says AIR-LAPxx the L stands for LWAPP based and needs a WLC to work and if the part number says AIR-AP it means if is stand alone and does not need a WLC. When the file has K9W8 it is LWAPP software and does not have GUI or IOS and needs a WLC. When the file has k9W7 would be IOS and is standalone which has GUI access and does not need a WLC. ...
