Angel Cool Aironet 1200 is a wireless workgroup bridge (WGB) that allows you to connect two or more wireless networks together. This can be useful for extending the range of your existing Wi-Fi network, or for creating a separate network for specific devices, such as security cameras or gaming consoles.

The Aironet 1200 is easy to set up and configure. Simply connect it to a power outlet and follow the instructions in the user manual. Once it is configured, the Aironet 1200 will automatically connect to your existing Wi-Fi network and extend its range.

The Aironet 1200 supports a variety of security protocols, including WPA and WPA2. This ensures that your data is protected from unauthorized access.

Aironet 1200 Wireless Workgroup Bridge Tutorial
(By Angel Cool; Friday, April 9, 2010)
Topology Layout
Introduction
This tutorial will demonstrate how to configure a wireless workgroup bridge (WGB) between two aironet access points; the
models used in this tutorial are: AIR-AP1230B-A-K9 and AIR-AP1220-IOS-UPGRD both runing IOS image: 12.3(8)JED
(c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JED). We will start by setting up the root access point, besides the WGB other wireless clients will be
able to connect to the root AP.
Root Setup
Configuration steps:
1.- Create an SSID:
(config)# dot11 ssid bridge_link
(config-ssid)# authentication open
(config-ssid)# authentication key-management wpa
(config-ssid)# wpa-psk ascii 0 bridge_link_@ccess
The above commands indicate what type of key management will be used and the password to be used by clients and the
WGB to connect to the root access point. Optionally, we can set the root AP to broadcast the SSID using the command:
(config-ssid)# guest-mode
2.- Configure the radio:
(config)# int dot11Radio 0
(config-if)# encryption mode ciphers tkip
(config-if)# ssid bridge_link
(config-if)# no shut

We associated the SSID created in step 1 with this radio and specified the encryption cypher to be used. At this point
wireless clients are able to connect to the root, the WGB will be connecting as a client.
WGB setup
Configuration steps:
1.- Create an SSID:
(config)# dot11 ssid bridge_link
(config-ssid)# authentication open
(config-ssid)# authentication key-management wpa
(config-ssid)# wpa-psk ascii 0 bridge_link_@ccess
2.- Configure the radio:
(config)# int dot11Radio 0
(config-if)# station-role workgroup-bridge
(config-if)# encryption mode ciphers tkip
(config-if)# ssid bridge_link
(config-if)# no shut
After entering the above commands the WGB should associate with the root AP. The key command is station-role
workgroup-bridge”, this command set the AP to a workgroup bridge, the other commands are just a mirror configuration
of the root AP.
Verification and Troubleshoot
The following log message will be seen in the root AP if the WGB has the wrong password:
%DOT11-7-AUTH_FAILED: Station 000e.8349.e1d0 Authentication failed
The following log message will be seen in the WGB after successfully associating with the root AP:
%DOT11-4-UPLINK_ESTABLISHED: Interface Dot11Radio0, Associated To AP root 0007.50d5.e96e
Use the “show dot11 associations” global configuration command to verify associations.
Conclusion
We demonstrated the configuration steps to set a WGB association with a root AP. All devices in the topology seen in the image
are in the same subnet (172.16.100.0/24); if the router is acting as a DHCP server, hosts attached to the WGB will acquire an IP
from this router.
