Greetings
I have an old 1242 AP that stopped working. We RMA'ed it and jsut got the new one. I placed the old config on the new AP and cannot get it to work. I do not have access to the GUI so I am consoled into the device. We can ping out from the command line of the AP but when I use a PC with net stumbler or even windows tool it will not see the SSID. Can someone take a looka t my config and tell if Im missing something?

I used one of our other AP's connected to the Antenna that this one is using and it works fine. So I know its not the Antenna
Any help would be greatly accepted
thanks

If you do a show ip int brief, what is the status of Dot11Radio 0?
07-07-2008 06:57 PM
a sh int bri shows the radio11 up/up. A show dot11 shows everything up

Okay, can you associate to the ssid? If so, then the ap is configured correctly and you just have to figure out the client side. Check the driver version on the client.

No i cannot see the SSID. I originally beleive this may be a defective RMA.
I have it setup to broadcast the SSID. But on my laptop, using netstumbler or even windows zero config.. I cannot the SSID
This is why I posted the config. I believe there is nothnig missed in the config.

Verify that you have the antenna connected on the port that you have specified (right). What I would do is clear the config and put a basic config with and open ssid just to see.
07-08-2008 02:07 PM
Yeah
That was the first thing i did. I also changed it to the left/left and same difference.
A asic config with an open SSID? I believe its open now. I got guest-mode and open auth set.
I am not 100% a sure about working with wireless but from what i read, that setting is open

What device are you trying to connect with? Your configuration looks fine.
07-08-2008 02:33 PM
thats what I thought, im scratching my head pulling my hair out trying to rule out the config.
My original thought was that the AP they sent us is bad. I know it can happen. I gotten several RMA's that turned out it needed an RMA.
The devices I am using are a dell laptop.
This laptop can connect to every other AP in our building. All of which are the same model with the same configs (Minus the IP address and channel)
could it be, my PC has an issue with this IOS on the AP?
The AP has the newest IOS
The original damaged AP had Version 12.4(3g)JA. The new one that isnt working uses Version 12.4(10b)JA
So I went from 3G to 10b. I searched the bug tracker and havnt found any issues with 10b.

Can you clear the configuration and reboot the ap and just enter these few commands:
dot11 ssid TEST
authentication open
guest-mode
!
interface Dot11Radio0
ssid TEST
no shut
!
interface Dot11Radio1
ssid TEST
no shut
!
interface BVI1
ip address 172.XXX.XXX.XXX 255.255.255.0
no shut
