Cisco :: 5508 Controller - Software Version / High Availability?
Feb 18, 2013
I will install next week at a customers side a new Pair of 5508 Controller. They have at the moment one old 4404 with about 70 APs.So the bought the new 5508 with HA Pair.For the HA i will need 7.3 i read in the High Availability (AP SSO) Deployment Guide.There are now two 7.3 Versions, or i can choose the new 7.4 Version.
AIR-CT5500-K9-7-3-101-0.aes
AIR-CT5500-K9-7-3-112-0.aes
AIR-CT5500-K9-7-4-100-0.aes
So what software version will be the best at the moment?I will install also a Cisco Prime Infrastructure on a ESX host.For the 7.3 in can use the 1.2 , but for the 7.4 i must take the 1.3.

I have two cisco wlc 5508. I wan to install them in two differents site. One WLC in the site A and the another WLC in the site B.
Site B is the WAN of the site A. The site A is the headquarter.
But i need to configure them in High Availability. For example if the Cisco WLC in site A goes down, the ap's have to registered in the WLC of the site B.
Then the traffic LWAPP have to pass over the WAN between site A to site B.
I have to configure two cisco wlc in HA over a WAN . Is ok configure the roamming L3 intercontroller?

I have 2 WLC (5508), i configured the option for enable the high availability, but when the 2 WLC is working the mesh network is unstable, when only wlc is working the mesh is fine.

I am upgrading the Wireless Infrastructure with two 5508 WLC.I am setting up High Availability, but I think is not quite working.
Primary Controller = WLC1
Secondary Controller = WLC2
LAP = LAP1
LAP1 has WLC2 as the primary controller for HA
LAP1 has WLC1 as the secondary controller for HA
While connected to LAP1, I shutdown WLC2. After ~ 20 seconds, LAP1 move to WLC1.I lost connection from LAP1 Don't LAP1 should move with all its clients to WLC1?Am I missing something in my configuration?

We have two 4400 WLC's. We have around 20 access points in our network.If we assign controller1 as primary for half of the access points and controller 2 as primary for the other half, does this mean the association of the ap's indicate load balancing by the controllers. Does this mean wlc does load balancing as different ap's associate on different controllers. or does it only server as active-standby wlc.

We own a Wifi controller 5508, with many access points connected to him. Except on the site where the controller is installed, all other APs are configured in FlexConnect mode through our MPLS network to prevent roundtrip for local communications (local client to local server for example).
Because of important slowness on one site where 8 APs are installed, we captured the traffic going in and out of our MPLS router and we discovered that the APs are consuming about 150kbits/s each in one-way communications with the controller (controller to APs), even when nobody is present (the capture was done this sunday).
Could you confirm me if this behaviour is normal or not ? What could explain such a large amount of data between the controller and the APs ?

New to working with Wireless and the Cisco Meshing concept so have a few questions to ask.I currently have the majority of the mesh setup and configured. I have a setup with two RAPs with 9 MAPS connecting to each RAP.
First question is how many MAPS can connect to a RAP generally?Secondly how can I block other cisco AP's that are not in my mesh network from trying to connect to my AP's
The below is constantly hammering the logs for 6 devices that are Cisco close to my mesh that are not mine.

Mesh child node '58:35:d9:aa:db:4f' has changed its parent to mesh node '88:f0:77:b7:c6:e0' from mesh node '88:f0:77:b7:c6:c0'.
Mesh Node '58:35:d9:aa:db:4f' failed to join controller, MAC address not in MAC filter list.
I have only added the MAC addresses of my AP's in to my AP Policy under security. Would these other AP's affect the mesh in any way?What I am seeing is the AP's constantly changing the child to parent relationship. I have inherited this network and they have about 20 AP's all within a square mile which is absolutely overkill. Would this close proximity of AP's together be the cause for the constant child parent changes?
How close should I have RAP's together. The network was setup so two raps are about 20 metres apart and the AP's on one side connect to RAP1 and the other to RAP2?How do you deal with Radar? The install is pretty much next to an airfield with radar running and a few times I have seen all the AP's disconnect and change channels.

using a Cisco 5508 controller (code version 7.4.100.0) with an ACS appliance running version 4.1 or 4.2?I've found that the ACS constantly reports a 'Bad request from NAS' (Invalid message authenticator in EAP request). message. This usually indicates a mismatched shared secret but this isn't the case.The controller works fine opposite a Microsoft NPS Radius Server.

I know that the recommendation from Cisco for the mobility anchor feature to work well is to use the same IOS version on the anchor WLC and local WLC controller. Now I´ll install on a new site a 5508 local WLC with a newer IOS version which is installed on the other controllers ( Guest and local ). Later I´ve planned to update also the other controllers to the same IOS version. Now my question is, must I upgrade all other controller at the same time ?

One of my customer wants to upgrade their Cisco ACS version from 4.0 to 5.3. The client has existing ACS version 4.0 windows on VM with two instance and need to upgrade to 5.3 Linux.As per my understanding following version are supporter to upgrade ACS to version 5.3 ACS 4.1.1.24ACS 4.1.4ACS 4.2.0.124ACS 4.2.1 but unfortunatlly there is running 4.0.I suggested to my client the upgradation for ACS and proposed this Upgrade lisence L-CSACS-53VMUP-K9 and CON-SAS-CSACS3V? how I can do the smooth deployment / Migration from 4.0 to 5.3 with (A/P)high availability.

Current environment is Cisco 2125 WLC managing ~12 3502E AP's for a single location. Client is looking to provide HA for the single 2125 WLC. With the 2125 now EO-Sale is it possible to go with one additional 2504 WLC and leverage the existing 2125 or would it require going with just (2) 2504's?

I just want to know if i need to support High Availability in Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 appliance, will the base license suffice or do i need to buy Security Group Access System License/ Large deployment License. Again, do we require license for each appliance or just one is enough?
I Suppose the licensing rules are same for the Vmware version also.

Yesterday I discovered the primary and secondary CAS were both in active state and reporting their fellow peer as dead (I did this using ./fostate.sh), causing authentication errors on the network. I had to stop the perfigo process on the primary one to restore service.
After closer investigation I have discovered that when I put my laptop on the same subnet as their eth2 interfaces (eth0, eth1 and serial are not used for heartbeat only eth2), I can ping the eth2 ip address for the primary device, but can't ping that of the secondary device. See configs and outputs below. I am also wondering why the secondary CAS shows its eth0 and eth1 interfaces as fake0 and fake1.
[root@CAS-SEC ~]# ifconfig eth2
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1F:29:5D:1C:6C

A customer is currently running a 5520 ASA pair in active/standby HA mode. The devices also have an IPS module, one of them using a temporary (60-day) license. So, right now, licensing is identical on both ASAs and HA is operational.
The question is what exactly will happen after 60 days, once the temporary license expires? Does HA shutdown completely once it's determined that the licensing isn't a 100% match any longer, or does it just cripple one feature (such as the IPS module)?
The customer is balking at purchasing SMARTnet for the 2nd ASA, so I need to explain exactly what is going to happen (if anything) once the license on the 2nd ASA drops off...

One of my remote sites acquires Internet connectivity via a cable modem service. This goes down intermittently, of course. I would like to purchase DSL service from the local telco and configure the edge ASA (currently a 5505) to use the cable modem path normally ... and fall back to the DSL path if necessary.
These seems hard to do. The edge box would need to evaluate the viability of a WAN path using some set of tests ... perhaps pings to a handful of major Internet sites. If all those pings start failing, it would stall for a minute, to give the WAN service provider time to recover ... then cut over to the second path. Cutting to the second path might mean pushing new DNS server addresses to clients (or perhaps the edge box would hand out both sets of DNS servers all the time and rely on the clients to try them all.) Once the cable modem provider restored service, the edge box would stall for a while (ten minutes? an hour?) and then cut back.
I'm willing to replace the edge box with something fancier (a bigger ASA or something sold as a router or whatever), although I'd like to stay under 10K (list) for such a replacement.

I am new to Cisco firewalls. We are moving from a different vendor to Cisco ASA 5520s.I have two ASA 5520s running ASA 8.2(5). I am managing them with ASDM 6.4(5).I am trying to setup Active/Standby using the High Availability Wizard. I have interfaces on each device setup with just an IP address and subnet mask. Primary is 10.1.70.1/24 and secondary is 10.1.70.2/24. The interfaces are connected to a switch and these interfaces are the only nodes on this switch. When I run the Wizard on the primary, configure for Active/Standby, enter the peer IP of 10.1.70.2 and I get an error message saying that the peer test failed, followed by an error saying ASDM is temporarily unable to connect to the firewall.

Is possible connect and configuring two cisco wlc in high availability to 3 switches in stack 3750 in difference ports?For example
WLC A (Primary) - SWITCH MASTER
WLC B (Secondary) - SWITCH SLAVE
How can i connect the wlc's in HA to get a redundancy in the stack?

I have set up a zone-based policy firewall with HA on two 2911 routers as per the Cisco security configuration guide, for an active/passive LAN-LAN cluster. All works as expected, but there is one problem I find: when the control link between the two devices fails, they go into an active/active state as each member assumes it's the last surviving member. The ARP entries for the Virtual IPs on the neighboring devices point to the device that last claimed the active role (usually the standby device). This works in a way, just sessions don't get synched anymore (control link is the same as data link). Now when the link comes back up, the preemtion works and the active, former standby device goes back to standby. But the ARP entries on the neighboring devices still point to the standby device and nothing goes (also sessions established during the active/active state are lost due to resync with the now active member).
This is a single point of failure and what I need is a way to mitigate that. Under:
redundancy
application redundancy
group 1
control <interface> protocol 1
only one control interface is allowed. Other manufacturers with similar functionality provide for the possibilty of a backup control link, for example the internal LAN interface or a dedicated backup link.
How would I go about that? Maybe use a port-channel for the control/data link (but I'm out of interfaces)?

What consequences could i have if i install a WiSM-2 module into a pair of 6500 configured in VSS and another WiSM-2 module into other pair of 6500 configured in VSS for serving a 300 APs??...in this case, do i need to configure mobility groups for guarantee a high availability and also redundancy of controllers?Under the best practices, is much better having the two WiSM-2 modules into a single pair of 6500 configured in VSS??

I know that the 3600 series APs are not supported on the 4404 WLC. However, would the following scenario be supported? I would like to use the 4404 (software rel. 7.0) as a guest anchor with a 5508 (software release 7.2) as the foreign controller supporting series 3600 APs. I ask because the APs do not need to join the guest anchor.

We have a customer that have 2 5508 as primary and backup controller and a 4400 as an anchor controller. We plan to upgrade the 5508 to 7.3.112.0 and the 4400 is already 7.0.116.0. Will there be any issue if the anchor controller is not the same code as the foreign controller? Do I also have to upgrade the acnhor controller to 7.0.240.0?

I have a customer with a stack of two switches C2960S-24TS-L that are running 12.2(58)SE2 universal K9, we see that the CPU load increase over time, to 95% and stays there reload solves the problem.the process that akes a lot of CPU is also the SNMP ENGINE, I see that it is running 30 minutes on 95% and then 10 minutes on 35%, this is the only stack were we see this problem. Is there also a SNMP bug in this version ?
