no "show ip route" on AP1230

An access point is a layer 2 device - therefore, it does not understand routing. What in particular are you trying to accomplish?

They aren't routers, they just point to a default gateway.

I could not access the remote tftp server ( the problem in fact was the firewall on the tftp server ) and tried to look for the settings of default gateway in the route table. So I tried "show ip route" and uh oh :-)

Thanks for the explanation.

Ah, then you'd use the 'ip default-gateway' command to specify your gateway. At this point, the device is more like a network client, not a router.

The specific command to set your default route in a non-routing IOS device such as an AP is "ip default-gateway w.x.y.z". So to see this, you could use:

ap#show run | include default-gateway ip default-gateway 192.168.5.1

If you don't have a default-gateway defined, then the device will rely on proxy-arp.
