350 Access Point segmenting

[1935]

Hello,

I have a Cisco 350 AP device connected to the network and one more that is going to be configured on the same segment. How to do I segment the two AP devices on the same network?

Thanks!

Hmm, guess that is just not enough information for mind to draw the picture. You have a LAN, you have an AP on it, and you want to add another AP on the same segment? And then change it to be a different segment? why?

Apparently you have a hub not a switch for the LAN, and you want to break this segment up between APs?

Maybe if you give us a little more description of your layout and what you are trying to achieve, sorry, I don't understand your goal.

I have a Cisco 350 AP device with a IP Address of 10.0.5.15 and I like to add another Cisco 350 AP device with a IP Address of 10.0.5.16. I like to bridge both AP devices on the same network. Is this any clearer?

Thanks!

So you want to put two AP's on the same LAN,
guess I dont see the problem. You can have multiple AP's on the same LAN, that is how we build a 'cellular' type coverage area. We place multiple AP's around an area, slightly overlapping coverage, so it effectively expands your coverage area. Users can 'roam' between AP's and be picked up by the one with the best signal.

Hello,

Is there any documenatation I could find on this subject.

Thanks!

Yes, Volumes. For Cisco specific stuff, there is a CD that comes with each access point with all the documentation on it. THere are also two training classes from Cisco (I have the power point presentations and audio on a CD I bought on Ebay) for Wireless Lan Engineers. My absolute favorite publisher, O'Reilly, has one called "802.11 wireless networks, the definitive guide" as well as another one about building a wireless community.

Hope these help, it appears your questions may be more IP routing type concerns than specific wireless questions.

Wish I could help more, I just can't seem to grasp what the specific problem is.

Good luck, happy reading

PS there is a truckload of stuff on the web about wireless LAN's, you might try some searching for the specifics you are interested in. It is only my opinion, based on my experience and education...I am always willing to learn, educate me!

If your access points are in the same area you need to make sure they are non overlapping channels 1,6,11. Also to roam from access point to access point the SSID's need to match.I hope this helps
