Have two C1240AG WAPs

[techinneed]

Hello All,

I have two C1240AG WAPs and I need to configure them on the office network which has one LAN.

The managers wants me to create a guest WIFI from these WAPs.

I have one firewall, and one switch for the office.

Can someone point me in the right direction and help me get started.  I connected the WAPs to the switch and assigned an IP on both of them.

I haven't done anything else.

Any help would be fantastic!

Thanks all!

If you want a very simple solution, then you can configure these two AP like this & connect them to two switchport configured for the guest wifi vlan (assuming it is DHCP). You have to modify <SSID_NAME> & <SSID_PASSWORD> as you need.

conf t
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
!
end
write memory

Thanks Rasika.

I only have access to the web interface part of the WAPs.  I do not have console access to the WAPs, unless I can telnet somehow to the WAPs with the current IPs.

In the event I do not have console access, can all the configuration you mentioned above be done through the GUI?

Thank you for your help.

Yes, you should be able to telnet to the current IP (default credential is Cisco/Cisco with enable password also Cisco). Then you can apply those configuration. 

This should help you if you want to configure this via GUI.
