I am trying to configure my first AP1200 (AP1231G-A-K9) and can get the ethernet link up. At first the link would not autonegotiate to my switch so I had to manually set the speed (100) and duplex (full) on the fastethernet0 port. After doing that I was able to get a green light connection. However, I am still unable to connect the device to the network. I assigned an IP address manually to fastethernet0 but it still will not connect. When I do a show ip interf brief the fastethernet0 continues to show prot down and status up. Status and prot are both up for the radio0, radio1, and BVI1 interfaces? When booting the AP I get the following:
Reset done!
link auto-negotiating....
auto-negotiation takes 10000 milli-seconds to complete
ERROR: timeout waiting for auto-negotiation to complete
ERROR: fail to bring ethernet link up
The system has been encountered an error initializing
ethernet port. You may need to check hardware
The system is ignoring the error and continuint boot.
If you interrupt the system boot process, the following
commands will reinitialize ethernet, tftp, and finish
loading the operating system software:
ether_init
tftp_init
boot
Am I not configuring something correctly or does this sound like a hardware problem? Thanks for any help.
