Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Autonomous Access Points and Bridges

Reloading the Access Point/Bridge Image

Using the CLI on an Autonomous Access Point/Bridge

From privileged EXEC mode, you can reset the autonomous access point/bridge configuration to factory default values using the CLI by following these steps:

Step 1 Enter erase nvram: to erase all NVRAM files including the startup configuration.

Step 2 Enter Y when the following CLI message displays: Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all configuration files! Continue? [confirm].

Step 3 Enter reload when the following CLI message displays: Erase of nvram: complete. This command reloads the operating system.

Step 4 Enter Y when the following CLI message displays: Proceed with reload? [confirm].

Caution Interrupting the boot process will damage the configuration file. Wait until the access point/bridge Install Mode LED begins to blink green before continuing with CLI configuration changes. You can also see the following CLI message when the load process has finished: Line protocol on Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to up.

Step 5 After the access point/bridge reboots, you can reconfigure the access point/bridge by using the Web-browser interface or the CLI (refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Access Points).

The access point/bridge is configured with the factory default values including the IP address (set to receive an IP address using DHCP). To obtain the unit’s new IP address, you can use the show interface bvi1 CLI command.

Reloading the Access Point/Bridge Image

If your access point/bridge has a firmware failure, you must reload the complete image file using the Web-browser interface or by using the console serial port. You can use the browser interface if the access point/bridge firmware is operational. However, you can use the console serial port when the access point/bridge has a corrupt image.

Web-Browser Interface

You can also use the Web-browser interface to reload the access point/bridge image file. The

Web-browser interface supports loading the image file using HTTP or TFTP interfaces.

Note Your autonomous access point/bridge configuration is not changed when you use the browser to reload the image file.

1300 specifications

Cisco Systems 1300 series, commonly referred to as the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series, represents a pivotal advancement in wireless networking solutions designed for outdoor environments. These access points are primarily intended for outdoor wireless applications, including temporary installations, public areas, and enterprises requiring robust outdoor coverage.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 1300 series is its ruggedized design. The access points are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures and precipitation. They comply with IP67 ratings, ensuring protection against dust and water intrusion, making them suitable for deployment in various environmental conditions.

The Cisco 1300 series provides comprehensive WLAN coverage through its support for various wireless standards, including 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. This compatibility ensures interoperability with existing wireless infrastructure while enabling faster data rates and improved connectivity. The technology leveraged in the Cisco 1300 series offers enhanced throughput and capacity, ensuring seamless connectivity for end-users.

Another key characteristic is the integration of advanced security features. The access points support robust encryption protocols, such as WPA2 and 802.1X, safeguarding sensitive data transmitted over the air. The ability to create secure guest access networks also enhances security, allowing organizations to provide internet access without compromising internal network safety.

Cisco's proprietary features, such as Cisco CleanAir technology, further enhance the performance of the 1300 series. This technology effectively detects and mitigates wireless interference, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in congested areas. Additionally, the series supports mesh networking capabilities, allowing for flexible deployment without the necessity of extensive wiring, which is particularly advantageous for temporary or mobile installations.

Management and configuration are simplified through the use of Cisco's Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). This centralized management allows network administrators to streamline firmware upgrades, monitor performance, and enforce policy compliance across multiple access points.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 1300 series access points combine robust outdoor capabilities with advanced wireless technology, security features, and ease of management, making them a valuable asset for organizations looking to extend their networking capabilities into outdoor environments. Through their durable design and innovative technologies, the Cisco 1300 series meets the demanding needs of today’s wireless landscape.
