Configure Access Point for Site-to-site Wireless link

With two Aironet 350 access points

Configuring LEAP/EAP using Local RADIUS Authentication 1

Step 1 Configure the AP WEP keys or cipher 2

Step 2 Configure RADIUS server (destination authentication server) 2

Step 3 Configure local RADIUS server (authenticator) 3

Step 4 Configure users (supplicant) 3

Step 5 Configure authentication on AP 4

Step 6 Verify the LEAP configuration 4

Step 7 Configure authentication on client (LEAP on the ADU) 4

Step 8 Verify the wireless connection 5

Objective

In this lab, the student will learn how to configure two AP as bridge for a wireless link.

Scenario

Ap11.21

Ap11.07

Step 1 Same network bridged topology using AP350

Follow the path below to reach the Address Filters page:

Connect a nine-pin, male-to-female, straight-through serial cable to the COM port on a computer and

to the RS-232 serial port on the bridge. (This cable ships with the bridge)

a. Open a terminal emulator.

b. Enter these settings for the connection:

Bits per second (baud rate): 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: none

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: Xon/Xoff

c. Press = to display the home page of the bridge. If the bridge has not been

configured before, the Express Setup page appears as the home page. If this is the

case, go to Step 3.

d. If the bridge is already configured, the Summary Status page appears as the home

page. When Summary Status screen appears, type :resetall, and press Enter.

Enter "YES" to confirm Resetting All parameters to factory defaults:

YES

00:02:12 (FATAL): Rebooting System due to Resetting Factory Defaults

*** Restarting System in 5 seconds...

Note :resetall can only be issued within the first 2 minutes after power on.

e. Type yes, and press Enter to confirm the command.

Change IP Subnet mask to allow PC1 connecting to the AP

IP [Subnet Mask ][255.255.255.0 ]

Then save configuration using apply command

Open a web browser, type the default bridge address http://10.0.0.1, and press

Enter.

d. Either of the following pages will appear:

i. The Summary Status Page, also known as the Home Page

ii. The Express Setup Page

Now click on the Express Setup link. This will now bring up the Express Setup

Page.

Try to select the «Bridge» and «Root Bridge» in «Role in radio network».

Find on Internet why it is not possible.

Tips: VxWorks versus IOS features

Step 2 Same network bridged topology with AP 1300

Establish the same topology with AP1300 (using up to date IOS versions).

Step 3 Different networks bridged topology

Insert two routers in the design topology.

What are the benefits?
