My access points 1230 have IOS 12.2(11)JA1, and they do not understand
the command "show ip route".

Does the command change to something else on the AP or do I have to
upgrade the IOS ?

Thanks,

DT

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.
