Aironet 1200 Wireless Workgroup Bridge Tutorial

Introduction

This tutorial will demonstrate how to configure a wireless workgroup bridge (WGB) between two aironet access points; the
models used in this tutorial are: AIR-AP1230B-A-K9 and AIR-AP1220-IOS-UPGRD both runing IOS image: 12.3(8)JED
(c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JED). We will start by setting up the root access point, besides the WGB other wireless clients will be
able to connect to the root AP.

Root Setup

Configuration steps:
1.- Create an SSID:
(config)# dot11 ssid bridge_link
(config-ssid)# authentication open
(config-ssid)# authentication key-management wpa
(config-ssid)# wpa-psk ascii 0 bridge_link_@ccess
The above commands indicate what type of key management will be used and the password to be used by clients and the
WGB to connect to the root access point. Optionally, we can set the root AP to broadcast the SSID using the command:
(config-ssid)# guest-mode
2.- Configure the radio:
(config)# int dot11Radio 0
(config-if)# encryption mode ciphers tkip
(config-if)# ssid bridge_link
(config-if)# no shut
