I have been unable to figure out what the "basic" bit means. It is critical though. Unless you have exclusively cisco kit turn off the "extension aironet" as is done here too. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Like for like config: interface Dot11Radio0 no ip address ! encryption key 1 size 128bit 7 BC48CE99C4E9B683819990D3C1A5 transmit-key encryption mode wep mandatory ! ssid ***** authentication open ! speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 station-role root no dot11 extension aironet bridge-group 1 bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled I'm not sure what "no shut" command does, but my router doesn't seem to like it. So, I can see this router from 802.11g devices just fine, but it is not visible to 802.11b devices at all. Desperately need some pointers on this. TIA Matt | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

May get a chance to investigate later. no shut takes the interface OUT of the Administratively down state. Cisco is a bit weird, but nice too, so called "default" states do not show when yuo do a show runn. If you instead do a shut then you wil see "shutdown" in the inteface config. Then you "no shut" to remove it. Many commands are like this, you have to get to know them. There is of course the OTHER default. THat is the one that you get when you reset to factory default. i.e. "write erase" is the (possibly no longer recommended?) command that I use for this. Some commands also appear in the config no matter what their state. This sounds really crap I guess but it is OK once you get the idea and the benefit is that the config file is shortened. IIRC some platforms have a "show runn all" that may show the defaults too. Don't think that I have ever tried it. With traditional routers ALL interfaces are shut by factory default. This is for safety. With switches they all are no shut by default. This is for convenience. With 877, half and half, switch and router, some are shut and some are not? This is partly due to the need for consumer level users to have a Power-up-and-use-Web-Browser interface. For professional users having all interfaces shut is what they want. When considering that this may be unnecessarily confusing consider how many platforms that carry out how many different functions that cisco have made and do make that have a substantially identical command line interface. Once you hack the 877 you are then able to drive almost any switch or router that they make or have made. Please don't bother listing the exceptions for my benefit. By all means list them for Nordberg's. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
