Problem with 851

[mbjohnson]

Hi all,

I've never worked with the 851 on the wireless side of things and I'm having a really hard time getting this thing to let me connect with my laptop and give me an IP address. I just want to setup something fairly simple with an SSID (non broadcast), WPA password etc for home use. Here's what I have currently:

interface Dot11Radio0

no ip address

ip nat inside

ip virtual-reassembly

!

encryption key 3 size 128bit ***** transmit-key

encryption mode ciphers tkip wep128

!

ssid CICSOTEST

authentication open

authentication key-management wpa optional

wpa-psk ascii 7 ********

!

speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0

54.0

station-role root

no dot11 extension aironet

What am I doing wrong, and where can I find examples on to setup the wireless and encryption settings?

Thanks for any help!

Hi and thanks for the info. Unfortunately this didn't help me much. I'm trying to avoid doing any bridging if possible. I have basically a Vlan1 (let's say 10.1.1.254) which is part of the "wired" network. I'm trying to configure the Dot1Radio0 to be part of Vlan1 as well so the router can give out ip addresses to the wireless clients and let them get out to the Internet. Is there an easier way to do this? Also where would I configure the shared WPA key?

Currently if I do a: show dott11 associations, it is telling me that the SSID is down because the Vlan associated with it (Vlan1) is down..which it is not since my regular PCs are on the LAN and communicating properly. I just can't seem to find a basic Wireless configuration for this 851. Again any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have the same problem if I follow the sample config. So, I did the following. I hope it helps.
