Wireless on 877W with single vlan

[localgareth]

Hi Guys

I have been struggling for a week now trying to get wireless working on my Cisco 877W. All the other functions are fine, DSL, VPNs, FW, but I cannot get the wireless to work at all.

The configuration is very confusing, and I even resorted to using the SDM, but this messed up other things and still wouldn't work!

I have a vlan1 already, 192.168.1.0/24. I don't want to create a new vlan; I want the wireless network to be part of the existing vlan.

I can't figure out if I need to use a BVI interface. I found what looks like a good document, http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/85x87x/857swcg/eng/pt2/wireless.htm, but this doesn't apply to my situation and I cannot figure out how to get things working on one vlan.

Any useful information would be much appreciated

Thanks

Yes you would need to use a BVI interface. move the address from the vlan to the BVI, on the DotRadio0 interface issue the command brdige-group 1, and issue the same command on the Fast Ethernet. Move the nat inside statements from the FE port to the BVI and give it a shot.

The config referenced in the doc, just shows how to do it with multiple vlans. if you only have one, just set the interface to the bridge group, no need to do subinterfaces.

Hope this helps.

I can't get IPV6 working yet and have no clue yet how to do WPA security on the wireless.....

but BVI/VLAN1 is working.

as for IPv6, make sure the image you have supports it.
