I want to see both the ssid in same time

[kishore.vutukuri1]

Hi,

I wanted to setup my Aironet AIR-AP1230B-A-K9 model ap with multiple SSIDS,

I had followed the steps mentioned in below link,

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/12-4_10b_JA/configuration/guide/scg12410b/scg12410b-chap7-mbssid.html#wp1050468 

when i issued a command "mbssid" i am facing below error. 

AP1200>enable
Password:
AP1200#config
AP1200#configure t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
AP1200(config)#mbs
AP1200(config)#do
AP1200(config)#mbss
AP1200(config)#inter
AP1200(config)#interface do
AP1200(config)#interface dot11Radio 0
AP1200(config-if)#mbs
AP1200(config-if)#mbssid
MBSSID is not supported on this radio - multiple MAC addresses not found.

AP1200(config-if)#

After google i got below link and i applied mbssid interface level. but still facing same message as shown in below log from ap console msgs.

AP1200(config-if)#inter
AP1200(config-if)#interfa
AP1200(config-if)#exit
AP1200(config)#inter
AP1200(config)#interface D0
AP1200(config-if)#mbs
AP1200(config-if)#mbssid
MBSSID is not supported on this radio - multiple MAC addresses not found.

AP1200(config-if)#

after that i issued a command through cli "show controllers Dot11Radio 0", it has to give me the number of mbssids will support per radio.

AP1200#show controllers Dot11Radio 0

I think Number of supported simultaneous BSSID are more than 1, how can i make this as 8?

here are my quires:

1. Does CISCO  AIR-AP1230B-A-K9, will support the mbssid to create Multiple ssids in AP?

2. If i want to change the AP firmeware which version i have to change ? (and may i know the file name and link)

3. Please provide me steps to create the ssids ? becasue i am totaly new to setup the Cisco Aironet 1200 AP. 

4. I wanted to setup this ap in 5g mode, as per my understanding ap will not support 802.11n/a mode ,

Thanks,

Kishore.

1. Does CISCO  AIR-AP1230B-A-K9, will support the mbssid to create Multiple ssids in AP?

The firmware you are running along with the ap is very old  the software on the AP doesn't support mbssid for multiple ssids:

Requirements for Configuring Multiple BSSIDs 

To configure multiple BSSIDs, your access points must meet these minimum requirements: 

•VLANs must be configured 

•Access points must run Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA or later 

•Access points must contain an 802.11a or 802.11g radio that supports multiple BSSIDs. To determine whether a radio supports multiple basic SSIDs, enter the show controllers radio_interface command. The radio supports multiple basic SSIDs if the results include this line: 

Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on radio_interface: 8 

2. If i want to change the AP firmeware which version i have to change ? (and may i know the file name and link)

You need a support contract to download firmware  

3. Please provide me steps to create the ssids ? becasue i am totaly new to setup the Cisco Aironet 1200 AP.

Search for autonomous multiple SSID 

4. I wanted to setup this ap in 5g mode, as per my understanding ap will not support 802.11n/a mode ,

Your model only support 802.11b

Hi Scott Fella, 

Thanks for the quick response and i too thought same. let me work on the single SSID creation. 

Thanks,

Kishore

Hi,

 I wanted to create one SSID using cli commands, on AIR-AP1230B-A-K9.

Please find the attached my ap details in "ap info.png", 

To create the ssid(in open authentication mode ) using cli commands i had followed the below steps.

AP1200(config-ssid)#dot11 ssid HM_CON_OPEN
AP1200(config-ssid)#vlan 2
AP1200(config-ssid)#Authentication open
AP1200(config-ssid)#Mbssid Guest-mode
AP1200(config-ssid)#end

After that encryption setup followed the below commands 

AP1200#configure t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
AP1200(config)#inter
AP1200(config)#interface do
AP1200(config)#interface dot11Radio 0
AP1200(config-if)#encryption vlan 2 mode wep mandatory
AP1200(config-if)#exit
AP1200(config)#exit
AP1200#wr

To make the raio dot11 0 up and running given below commands 

AP1200#configure t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
AP1200(config)#inter
AP1200(config)#interface do
AP1200(config)#interface dot11Radio 0
AP1200(config-if)#no sh
AP1200(config-if)#no shutdown

The expected is HM_CON_OPEN has to broadcast in air.

Observations:

1. In GUI i can see that radio is down in Radio0-802.11B, please find the attached "radio_down.png".
2. in event logs it is showing that "No SSID with VLAN configured. Dot11Radio0 not started." warning messgae(please find the attached event_log.png file). but i created the vlan 2 for my ssid.
3.  After this i am unable to delete the ssids which i had created previous ones. in GUI, can i delete the ssid using cli commands?(pls mention the command)
4. I wanted to know the point where i did wrong ?
5. Any steps need to follow for cli configurations for creating the SSIDs? 

Could you please help me on this.....

Thanks,

Kishore.
