| there are these things called
syslog
and
tacacs
read about them
http://www.cisco.com
logging host x.x.x.x
will direct your logs to a syslog server
you decide what is loggable
ie
logging level 3
so i'd read up on logging too
and snmp.
be a problem solver ... don't look for someone to
solve your problems. | |

11Mbps Wireless Access Point with 128-bit WEP & Integrated dual 2.2dBi dipole antennas with diversity support
The Cisco Aironet 340 access point performs functions similar to a hub in a wired network; in addition, it adds
the vital, price/performance benefits of security, management features, and mobility services. For example, the
innovative roaming functionality provided enable users equipped with wireless client adapters to freely move
throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network. The Aironet 340 access
point features easy integration to a wired network backbone, flexible configuration, management capabilities,
and a wide range of product configurations.
The Aironet 340 access point integrates easily into 10 and 100Mbps Ethernet networks via a single auto-sensing
RJ-45 port. The access point acts as a bridge, forwarding at media speed between the Ethernet CSMA/CD
protocol and the wireless CSMA/CA protocol, seamlessly integrating wireless functionality into a wired
infrastructure. The access points may be configured locally via serial port or remotely over the LAN; they provide
the option of a Web browser or console management interface.
Based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the 2.4 GHz band, the Aironet
340 provides an Ethernet-like data rate of up to 11 megabits per second (Mbps). The high speed and
throughput enables the wireless transfer of bandwidth-intensive data such as multimedia streams and large
data files within the enterprise.
Understanding the security requirements of both small businesses and the enterprise, Cisco provides 128-bit
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), a security mechanism defined within the 802.11 standard that is designed to
make the link integrity of the wireless medium equal to that of a cable. WEP is integrated with standard
authentication features, providing a level of data security equal to traditional wired LANs. Cisco includes a
complete set of device drivers to make installation trouble-free in a full range of systems. Easy-to-use site
survey tools produce graphical information, including signal strength. To further facilitate installation, Cisco
provides a suite of integrated utilities for Windows-based configuration, management, and diagnostics.
The Aironet management system offers IS professionals complete control over access-point settings and
operational information. Setting security levels, addresses, transmission channels, data rates, and other options
can be done quickly through either management interface. The management system captures vital operational
data that may be viewed as an event log within the management system or exported to a Management
Information Base (MIB) for analysis by an SNMP-compliant system.
For investment protection, the Aironet 340 conforms to the IEEE 802.11b standard, ensuring interoperability with
equipment available from a variety of vendors. It is fully compatible with most popular network operating
systems and delivers both Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Web-based management features.
The Aironet 340 can be seamlessly integrated into wired Ethernet networks, as a complement or alternative to
the wired LAN products offered by Cisco Systems.
Features:
Complies with IEEE 802.3
128-bit WEP encryption
Range at 1Mbps: 1300 ft. (400m) open environment; 250 ft (77m) office
Range at 11Mbps: 300 ft. (90m) open environment; 80 ft (25m) office
2048 maximum clients
Integrated (nonremovable) dual 2.2dBi dipole with diversity support
HTTP, Telnet, FTP, or SNMP
BOOTP and DHCP | |

| darthfeces is right. Cisco Aironet 340 would fullfil your requirement. I used in a similar kind of situation like yours. The only drawback is that the error rate is more when you do not have the PCs scattered around in a line-of-sight way, otherwise it is a good product. I mean if the Access point is in the 2nd floor and you try a PC kept at the 3rd to get attached to it you would be in trouble.
You need to have one Access point at each floor. | |

| Not too sure how this got on to wireless??
The 340 is now EOL with the replacement being the 350, Cisco recently announced a 1200 which is modular and both 802.11b +a +g compatible for future upgrades.
Suresh briefly discussed issues with coverage, the answer as always is "it depends" on factors such as the fabric of the building. A decent site survey will confirm this.
The price for Aironet was recently dropped to bring it more in line with other manufacturers, though Cisco being Cisco it still costs significantly more! |
