Assuming you’d like to connect a client computer to your chromecast via the same WLAN on your Cisco AP, all you need to do is follow the below steps.
Assumptions:
- The Cisco AP is configured with only a single SSID, and that SSID happens to be associated with vlan 2.
- You are broadcasting the WLAN on both radios
- All the required configuration to support clients (SSID, Auth, etc) is already setup
Instructions:
- Login to your AP using the command line, issues a show run
- The output of your show run command should have some lines similar to what’s below:
!
interface Dot11Radio0.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
no ip route-cache
bridge-group 2
bridge-group 2 subscriber-loop-control
bridge-group 2 spanning-disabled
bridge-group 2 block-unknown-source
no bridge-group 2 source-learning
no bridge-group 2 unicast-flooding
!
interface Dot11Radio1.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
no ip route-cache
bridge-group 2
bridge-group 2 subscriber-loop-control
bridge-group 2 spanning-disabled
bridge-group 2 block-unknown-source
no bridge-group 2 source-learning
no bridge-group 2 unicast-flooding
!
So if our SSID is affiliated with vlan 2, we’ll need to issue a command to each of our sub interfaces using that vlan: Dot11Radio0.2 and Dot11Radio1.2
Enter the following commands:
- # config t
- (config)# interface Dot11Radio0.2
- (config-if)# no bridge-group 2 port-protected
- (config-if)# exit
- (config)# interface Dot11Radio1.2
- (config-if)# no bridge-group 2 port-protected
- (config-if)# exit
Now we’ll also need to globally stop IGMP snooping, we’ll enter this additional command from global config mode:
- # config t
- (config)# no ip igmp snooping
- (config-if)# exit
Lastly just save your config and test, you should now be able to connect to the chromecast from a wireless client connected to the same WLAN as the chromecast, or if you followed the previous post on configuring a sonicwall for use with a chromecast (located here), a wired client connected on another interface of your sonicwall.
Hi!
I brought a 1702i to use it as a autonomous AP but I cannot get it into autonomous mode, how did you do this?
Model: AIR-CAP1702I-E-K9
Thanks in advance from Denmark!
