Cisco Cisco Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Manual Técnica

This is an example of a client that is associated to a MAC address but not an IP address:

Note: For some non−Cisco APs, this window can show the AP as associated to a MAC address. In this case,
double check the configuration and move on to perform the IP address check. See the IP Addressing section
of this document for the IP address check procedure.

If the client is not associated, be sure to check:

Any entries in the AP log

The entries can indicate why the client does not associate.

• 

Check the signal strength at the client. Good signal strength is essential for proper communication.
For good signal strength, you can increase the power level at the AP or change the client location to
get associated.

Note: Too much power on the AP extends the coverage outside the desired area which causes a
potential risk of an exposed network.

• 

That the service set identifier (SSID) that is configured in the client matches the SSID that is
configured in the AP

Check the Express Setup page of the AP browser interface.

• 

Temporarily disable WEP/Light EAP (LEAP)/EAP until you have resolved the connectivity problem. The
disablement helps to determine if some portion of authentication contributes to the problem. You can disable
authentication from the AP and the client while they remain a part of the configuration. If the authentication is
complex, reenable it in phases in order to isolate the aspect of authentication that causes the problem.
