CH A P T E R 9 Configuring a Wireless LAN Connection The Cisco 850 and Cisco 870 series routers support a secure, affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN solution that combines mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class features required by networking professionals. With a management system based on Cisco IOS software, the Cisco routers act as access points, and are Wi-Fi certified, IEEE 802.11a/b/g-compliant wireless LAN transceivers. You can configure and monitor the routers using the command-line interface (CLI), the browser-based management system, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This chapter describes how to configure the router using the CLI. Use the interface dot11radio global configuration CLI command to place the device into radio configuration mode. See the Cisco Access Router Wireless Configuration Guide for more detailed information about configuring these Cisco routers in a wireless LAN application.
