Once VLAN2 is created (cover later in this article), we can connect to the integrated access point and begin its configuration.

By default VLAN 1 is already created as it is the first VLAN on the router, so we will need to create the second VLAN that will serve the guest wireless network, or second SSID: In our example we assume two VLANs - one for the local network and one for guest Internet access. Configuring VLANs on the Cisco 880W (881W, 886W, 887W, 888W) Series Routerįirst step is to examine the VLANs required. The commands shown in this article are applicable on all Cisco 880W series models. The most common setup of this type is one SSID that connects to the local network and another SSID serving guests that require Internet access only. This article aims to explain the configuration required for a Cisco 880W series router (e.g Cisco 887W, Cisco 886W, Cisco 881W, Cisco 888W, etc), in order to setup the integrated Cisco access point with multiple encrypted SSIDs, each SSID belonging to a different VLAN with specific access to the local network and Internet. You can also insert the HEX Value and the system will reveal the actual ASCII value - handy if you want to discover what password phrase has been used for the encryption. Just enter your password phrase into the Custom WEP/WPA Key Generator - ASCII text fields, and its HEX equivalent will be generated automatically. The WEP/WPA Key Generator supports 64bit, 128bit, 152bit & 256bit WEP keys, and 160bit, 504bit WPA/WPA2 keys for maximum security.Īlternatively, if you require to generate a key based on a custom passphrase (most cases), you can use the Custom WEP/WPA Key Generator. Simply choose the desired key length using the drop-down menu, and one will be generated for you. You can use the Random WEP/WPA Key Generator to generate a random WEP or WPA key. The Wireless LAN Key Generator allows for quick and valid WEP/WPA key generation. With our WLAN Key generator, simply insert your desired pass phrase and it will generate the necessary HEX value encryption key that needs to be used in the CLI or Web-Based configuration of the Cisco Access Point. The Firewall.cx Wireless LAN Key Generator will allow the generation of a WEP or WPA ASCII based encryption key and will provide the equivalent HEX or ASCII string so it can be inserted directly into a Cisco Access Point configuration.Īs many engineers know, it is a common problem that when configuring a WEP encryption key in a Cisco Access Point, the IOS will not allow the input of the actual ASCII key, but instead requires the HEX equivalent.
