Preface

This guide is for the networking professional who installs and manages Cisco 3200 Series wireless and mobile routers. To use this guide, you should have experience working with the Cisco IOS and be familiar with the concepts and terminology of wireless local area networks.

Purpose

This guide provides the information you need to install and configure your bridge. This guide provides procedures for using the IOS commands that have been created or changed for use with the WMIC. It does not provide detailed information about these commands. For detailed information about these commands, refer to the IOS documentation set available from the Cisco.com home page at Service and Support > Technical Documents. On the Cisco Product Documentation home page, select Release 12.3 from the Cisco IOS Software drop-down list.

This guide includes an overview of the web-based interface, which contains all the funtionality of the command-line interface (CLI). This guide does not provide field-level descriptions of the web-based windows nor does it provide the procedures for configuring the WMIC from the web-based interface. For all window descriptions and procedures, refer to the online help, which is available from the Help buttons on the web-based interface pages.

Organization

Chapter 1, "Overview," lists the software and hardware features of the WMIC and describes the WMIC's role in your network.

Chapter 3, "Configuring Radio Settings," describes how to configure settings for the WMIC radio such as the role in the radio network, data rates, transmit power, channel settings, and others.

Chapter 4, "Administering the WMIC," describes how to perform one-time operations to administer your WMIC, such as preventing unauthorized access to the device, setting the system date and time, and setting the system name and prompt.

Chapter 5, "Configuring SSIDs," describes how to configure and manage multiple service set identifiers (SSIDs). You can configure up to 16 SSIDs and assign different configuration settings to each SSID.

Chapter 8, "Configuring Cipher Suites and WEP," describes how to configure the cipher suites required to use authenticated key management, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and WEP features including MIC, CMIC, TKIP, CKIP, and broadcast key rotation.

Chapter 12, "Configuring QoS in a Wireless Environment," describes how to configure quality of service (QoS) on your WMIC. With this feature, you can provide preferential treatment to certain traffic at the expense of others.

Chapter 13, "Configuring Filters," describes how to configure and manage MAC address, IP, and Ethertype filters on the WMICWMIC by using the web-browser interface.

Chapter 14, "Configuring CDP," describes how to configure Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on your WMIC. CDP is a device-discovery protocol that runs on all Cisco network equipment.

Appendix D, "Supported MIBs," lists the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Bases (MIBs) that the WMIC supports.

Cisco Product Security Overview

A current list of security advisories, security notices, and security responses for Cisco products is available at this URL:

To see security advisories, security notices, and security responses as they are updated in real time, you can subscribe to the Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed. Information about how to subscribe to the PSIRT RSS feed is found at this URL:

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.

Tip

We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been encrypted with PGP versions 2.x through 9.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.

Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website

The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
