Cisco 1142 AP as a repeater

[samsonidakwo]

Hi,

I am a bit confused with the GUI configuration of an AP and repeater my concerns are:

I have 3 AP 1142 series i want two APs to be connected to the main AP(ethernet) while the others act as repeaters.

How do i go about creating an AP as  a repeater to assoicate with the AP connected to a switch

Thanks

Why go repeater mode?  Why not go root/non-root bridge?

HTH,
Steve

Hello Samson,

As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-

Configuring a Repeater Using the CLI

If you want to configure your AP as a repeater and use the command-line interface, the following is an example configuration setting. This example configures the AP with two parents:

ap1130# configure terminal

ap1130(config)# interface dot11radio 0

ap1130(config-if)# ssid qbranch

ap1130(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid

ap1130(config-ssid)# exit

ap1130(config-if)# station-role repeater

ap1130(config-if)# dot11 extensions aironet

ap1130(config-if)# parent 1 0012.7fc2.1bdc 1000

ap1130(config-if)# parent 2 0012.44b4.b250 1000

ap1130(config-if)# end

ao1130# copy running-config startup-config

Hope this will help you.
