Cisco AP – basic configuration

This post shows how to configure a basic AP settings which you must configure to run WLAN. The AP is configured with Open Authentication (no password required).Note: not all options are required to run WLAN, but I added them because there is a great probability you want to use them.

Configuration

ap(config)# interface bvI 1
ap(config-if)# ip address 192.168.0.105 255.255.255.0
ap(config-if)# exit
ap(config)#
ap(config)# dot11 ssid open_net // define ssid
ap(config-ssid)# authentication open // no password required
ap(config-ssid)# guest-mode // include the SSID in its beacon
ap(config-ssid)# exit
ap(config)#
ap(config)# interface dot11Radio 0
ap(config-if)# ssid open_net // assigne ssid to radio interface
ap(config-if)#
