Cisco Aironet 700i standalone configuration

[sagarshaha]

Hi,

I'm relevantly new to Cisco products. So, please pardon my basic questions.

I have Cisco Aironet 700 series AP(AIR-SAP702I-Q-K9). I dont have controller. I need to configure this as standalone access point.

I tried all the basic steps and tried activating on both the radios but no luck. Can someone please guide me on how to configure this as AP.

I'm using web access to configure the AP.

Please help

Thanks,

Sagar

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for your quick response. I tried to go throught the links above with Single SSID config but I'm unable to follow since it has vlan enabled and I dont have any vlan in my network.

Also, it will be great if you can share the links on how to configure the AP using webaccess.

Many Thanks,

Sagar

Still the conifg will be almost same.

Here is one more link:

If i will get a link which used webGUI for AP conifg then I will paste it here.

Hi Sandeep,

I tried using the below link and configuring the access point but no luck. Its not broadcasting the SSID at all.

Hi Sagar,

Did you configure this command:

dot11 ssid <ssid name>
Guest-mode ------> To broadcast the SSID

Hi Sandeep,

Sorry for delay in responding. My wifi is working now but I have to connect directly to my Cisco router and it doesnt work on my workstation. My Lan is in Vlan1 and i added this AP also in Vlan1 but still doesnt work.

Do let me know if Im missing something.

Thanks

Below is the config as requested.

configuration is ok, What exactly you facing the issue with wi-fi ?

Regards

[sagarshaha]

issue is: right now i have connected my wifi device directly to router and its in server room. I need to plug the device in workstation area on users desk.

When i do that, it doesnt works.

Please suggest.

Thanks

[sagarshaha]

Also, I dont want to activate dhcp on this AP as it should pickup the dhcp from router. Please suggest the revised config too.

[Sandeep Choudhary]

The AP configuration looks fine,

1. No you can not connect AP to a workstation then it will not work.

AP must connect to swicth/router. You can DHCP pool on swicth/router.

Can you share the steps on how to have only one pool between switch and router.

Thanks

[Sandeep Choudhary]

HI Sagar,

Please paste the topology.

you told that you will connect the AP directly to router ???

Then create DHCP pool on Router:

ip dhcp pool Wireless
   network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 192.168.1.1
   dns-server 4.2.2.2

is there any switch in between ?
