Anyway please post pointers and small things, feel free to ask me questions and give any help!
The last thing I will do when I finally get it connected up to internet is learn how to add in security and such. I am trying to do this few steps at a time. So from this post you can see I picked up a couple more things but I still am in need of help. I dont really want Authentication Open I am wanting WPA with a preshared key like on my linksys so that you can connect and it will prompt you for password. Would have been nice if cisco instructions said that. I guess guest-mode allows the SSID to be seen. Some of the things that cisco left out that caused it not to work wasĨ71W(config-if-ssid)#authentication open 871W(config-if-ssid)# guest-modeĨ71W(config-if-ssid)# authentication open On the AP portion I used the part listed below. Its for an 871w router and it did not fully work but some of it did. After you change your username/password you can turn off this messageīy configuring "no banner login" and "no banner exec" in privileged mode.
Replace and with the username and password you want to It is strongly suggested that you create a new username with privilege levelġ5 using the following command for console security. Ip address dhcp client-id GigabitEthernet0ĭefault username/password setup on AP is cisco/cisco with privilege level 15. Username brian privilege 15 secret 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxĭescription the embedded AP GigabitEthernet 0 is an internal interface connecti Here is my config from AP after following the directions: I had this all setup before except for the wireless but I had to run rip in order for it to communicate with the linksys router, so I am trying to get away from using the linksys and just use the 891w only instead. I will then run a internal lan connection out of the gigabitethernet connection to my servers and home lab.
So one more time to give idea of what I am building I will have modem go into the fastethernet port of the router which will supply all my home PC and equiptment with internet via wireless. I am not wanting anything complicated I am just wanting to setup the router to connect to the modem on my WAN side, and then I will connect my server to it which will hand out IPs to the wireless clients that connect to the routers wireless. It looks to be broading casting something when I check my laptop I see a SSID popped up called the following "Other Network" However, when you try to connect to it you get an error and it says it cannot connect. When I follow these commands it does not seem to work correctly. On the wireless side though I am having all kinds of problems and the cisco directions are not working: I can get it setup to my modem with wired connections though I am a bit rusty on the Commands I saved my old config file.
