[vijaymayiladuthurai]

hi i have an cisco aironet 1240ag access point i am not able to configure it it is showing radio is down, what to do for this?

[Rasika Nayanajith]

Do you have basic config on your AP ? something like below would do

hostname <AP_HOSTNAME>
!
dot11 ssid <SSID_NAME>
   authentication open
   authentication key-management wpa version 2
   guest-mode
   wpa-psk ascii <SSID_PASSWORD>
!
interface Dot11Radio0
 encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
 ssid <SSID_NAME>
 no shutdown
!
interface Dot11Radio1
 encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
 ssid <SSID_NAME>
 no shutdown
!
interface BVI1
 ip address dhcp

HI Vijay,

Can you console AP and reboot it.

1. Post the entire bootup process here.

2. paste the output of : sh version

3. How is it powered?

[vijaymayiladuthurai]

Hi Sandeep,

This ap is in remote location i am accessing through telnet only, so its little bit difficult to take the bootup process. But i will try to get it any other option is there ?

if configured ssid and vlan to the ap its showing in but radio is down only.

How is it powered?

Can you try this:

Config t

Int d0

shut

no shut

and then see the interface status again.

Regards

I tried it yesterday but no response, no also tried too still the same will happen

I think the radio is down because you have no SSID configured see Rasika's post:

Configure SSID & configure it under the radio interfaces:

dot11 ssid <SSID_NAME>
   authentication open
   authentication key-management wpa version 2
   guest-mode
   wpa-psk ascii <SSID_PASSWORD>
!

interface Dot11Radio0
 encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
 ssid <SSID_NAME>
 no shutdown

[singhmanaspratap]

Hi,

Please make sure you have configured the ssid and mapped it to the radio interface. In case you have more then one ssid the configuration would be slightly changed. Please let me know with the ssid name based on which the configuration could be done.

Thanks and regards,

Manas Pratap Singh

[vijaymayiladuthurai]

Hi thanks, here i shared my requirement plz help me

i have only one vlan 

want to configure two ssid one is user and other is guest both are in open or password protected 

[singhmanaspratap]

Hi Vijay,

With one vlan its recommended to use one ssid.

You can use the scrypt suggested by Rasika:

dot11 ssid test
authentication open
   authentication key-management wpa version 2
   guest-mode
   wpa-psk ascii <Password>

interface Dot11Radio0
 encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
 ssid test
 no shutdown

interface Dot11Radio1
 encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
 ssid test
 no shutdown

For two ssids we would need two vlans. Incase you want two ssids please let me know the vlan numbers and ssid names.

Thanks and regards,

Manas Pratap Singh
