Cisco AP Switch Config

[Nikumba]

Hi,

We have a number of Cisco 500 and 505 POE switches, each switch can have 4 - 6 Motorola wireless access points and in the smart ports section of hte GUI we have to set them to access point for wireless devices to work correctly.

However we are having to hang some of these AP's of a bog standard 2960 that has no GUI, does anyone know what commands we need to apply to the port to set it for an access point?

Thanks

Kimbie

Not touched much Wireless (our Site does not allow WiFi), so this would be shot in the dark. I guess they would need to be trunk ports - as AP's are classed as bridges, so:

enter any login details:

enable
interface (the interface that your AP's are on)
switchport
switchport trunk encap dot1q
switchport mode trunk

exit out and remember to write you configs back to start-up (cop r s)

I think that would do ya. That will allow all the vl's configured on the Switch to traverse the trunk. You can limit this (prune) manually of via a VTP domain. Manual:

switchport trunk allowed vl (then the vlans you want to allow)

If you get stuck mid command, you can use ? to help you out.
