Enabling 802.11a/b/g on Cisco 700 AIR-SAP702I-A-K9

pfaria · ‎10-21-2014

Hello,

I recently acquired a Cisco 700 series AP and enabled 2.4GHz radio with 802.11N. I reviewed the configuration guide for the 700 series but I did not find any reference to setting up the radios for any of the other standards such as 802.11A/B/G.

Is is possible to configure this unit as 802.11A/B/G? I attached my current configuration for reference.

Thanks!

You need to enable the interface Dot11Radio1 to use the 5GHz band. In your configuration, you only have the 2.4GHz Band operational:

interface Dot11Radio0 (2.4 GHz Band)
no ip address
!
///////////////////////////
!
interface Dot11Radio1 (5 GHz Band)
no ip address
shutdown (assign an SSID to this interface and perform a no shut)
antenna gain 0
peakdetect
dfs band 3 block
packet retries 64 drop-packet
channel dfs
station-role root
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source
no bridge-group 1 source-learning
no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding

The commands for this are in the configuration guide for the version of IOS on your autonomous AP:

Chapter 6 covers this.
