I have 3 WLC 5508 and a NAC guest server. We want to download a wildcard certificate after a few seconds at the download of this certificate I got the failure message download failed.
Accept the WLC wildcard certificates or must I generate a SAN (Subject Alternative Name) Certificate.
I generated a wildcard certificate for my company type *. [URL] in a CSS 11501. For the site [URL] worked fine, for the site [URL] didn't worked. I read on the web that should generate a wildcard certificate with subject alternative names. Is it possible in CSS? how can I do it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to install a GoDaddy wildcard ssl certificate onto a WLC 2504 running version 7.4.100.0.
I am getting the error "#SSHPM-3-KEYED_PEM_DECODE_FAILED: sshpmcert.c:4055 Cannot PEM decode private key" when downloading the .pem file to the controller.
What I have attempted to do was to export the certificate from a Windows 2008 R2 server into a .pfx file. The file contained the private key and all possible root certficates (in this case a root and a intermediate cert). Now I took this .pfx file and attempted to create a .pem file with openssl using the following command: openssl pkcs12 -in myssl.pfx -out mynewssl.pem -passin pass:mypassword -passout pass:mypassword
Now I have opened the .pem file and verified it does contain the private key and the three certificates (wildcard, intermediate and root).
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.

I have a Wildcard cert that was issued by Network Solutions that I use on a couple web servers I run, and want to know if I can use that for the WLC? It's a pks cert and I think the WLC needs to use a pem cert, so I converted the wildcard to pem. Or do I need to purchase a cert that is not a wildcard and is in pem format?

I am planning to migrate from an old 4400 to a new 5508. I am happy with migrating the access points but I need to know if I can migrate the web authentication certificate used for guests.The new WLC will have the same virtual interface and DNS name to match the CN on the current certificate. Will this work or will I need a new certificate?

As we turn up additional SSIDs, we need Mobile SSID to accept ONLY the Mobile Cert, our Internet SSID to only accept the Internal Cert and our GUEST SSID to deny ANY Cert issued by our CA.I know ISE makes this much easier, but I dont have it and need this to work as best we can until next fiscal cycle..
I have a 5508 controller at our headquarters and am installing some 3502 AP's at a remote branch. Unfortunatly, the remote branch has a different Vlan setup for some reason and the vlan that is used for the WLC (90) is designated for telephony at this branch. Can I put the AP's on a different VLAN (10) without having any issues? I will still use DHCP option 43 to point them back to the controller. Below are the configs for the WLC interfaces and what I am proposing for the AP interfaces:
WLC Config

config ap reset AP_NAME
But still nothing, it's joined to another controller although "show ap client config" shows that primary-base switch is x.x.x.x ?How can i force it to join to other controller?
We are looking to upgrade our 5508 wireless controller from 7.0.98.0 to 7.0.220.0. Reason being, we have experienced a lot of access points disassociating from the controller as well as client authentication issues.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a WLC (5508) in our main office in Brisbane that is hosting two WLANs. One provides wireless access to our internal network and the second provides wireless guest access. The guest WLAN is anchored to a controller sitting in the DMZ at our Data Centre.
In the DMZ the anchor controller has a management interface and an interface in the DMZ for the wireless guest access. I am using the DHCP server on the anchor DMZ to provide IPs etc to wireless guest clients. The default gateway is 10.8.144.1 which is a VIP or a pair of firewalls.
Initially everything works fine. Guests connect to the guest network, have to authenticate via a web portal (Cisco ISE server) and then can go on an use the internet. Works perfectly until the firewalls fail over and the secondary firewall takes over the VIP address. All access to the internet is lost at that point. If I try to disconnect and then reconnect a wireless client it connects, as in it will get an IP address, but DNS resolution stops and I do not get redirected to the web auth portal. If the firewalls are failed back to the primary then everything works again, no issues. However, if I reboot the WLC while the secondary firewall has the VIP IP everything will work fine as it did on the primary. If the firewalls now fail over to the primary again everything goes to ****. Until either the firewalls are failed back or the anchor WLC is rebooted.
Initially I thought this was an issue on the firewall, but this doesn't appear to be the case. When the firewall fails over it sends out a gratuitous ARP advising of the change in MAC address for the 10.8.144.1 IP address. The WLC seems to update its ARP table because if I run the command "show arp switch" it has the 10.8.144.1 IP address with the MAC address of the active firewall. From the client perspective I have run a wireshark and captured packets on the wireless interface when trying to connect. The laptop is continuously send ARP requests for 10.8.144.1 but gets not reply. Without this the client cannot send an ethernet frame to the gateway and hence get to the DNS server and WEB portal. Internet access breaks. Doing a TCP dump on the active firewall shows it receiving and then sending a reply to the ARP request. It just never gets to the wireless client. Debugging ARP packets on the anchor WLC seems to indicate that the controller is receiving the ARP replies from the firewall. So I'm at a loss as to why things should break when the firewalls fail over.
I have a 3750 switch in the DMZ with SVI of 10.8.144.4. I thought I could get a work around where I would make this the default gateway. The theory being that this interface MAC address would never change. However I was wrong. Even with this IP set as the gateway address for the wireless clients I see the exact same bahaviour when the firewalls fail over. I can't explain it other than to say that the gratuitous ARP sent by the firewalls seems to kill the ability of ARP replies to be sent back to the wireless client.
Just replaced a 2106(ver 5.1) with a 5508 (ver.7.2)...Everything was OK.. AP's got on 5508 and we shut the 2106.

This is OK ....Have rebooted/downgraded/upgraded the 5508 controller but with same result.....No AP's can join this controller (exept from a oeap600)
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo we have a Cisco 5508 controller that is managing 15 AP's in one of our buildings.I am running 2 wlans, one is internal access via (wpa) radius, peap and domain login...that works well now
The other is a guest lan, that is only allowed to surf the web.
The question from our security group, is there a way to restrict wireless access to ONLY a corporate approved list of devices.
As it stands right now, we only support Blackberry's as our mobility device. All local data is encrypted. The issue here is our testing shows that with an Iphone (not approved) it is very easy to connect to the WPA network if a user knows how to enter in their domain credentials. From there they can browse our internal web servers and download corporate data to a non approved, non encrypted device such as the iphone.
I upgraded a controller yesterday 5508 it went from a low code version 6.x to 6.0.196.0 then to 7.0.116.0. However although all the access points joined code 6.0.196.0 they refused to join 7.0.116.0. The aps are all 1242s.
The country codes etc were all fine so I do not understand what was going on.

I have two Cisco WLC 5508 controllers that I'm trying to set-up for our new corporate WLAN. I've gone through most of the configuration fine but have ran into an issue uploading a signed certificate to one of my controllers. I should point out that I have managed to upload the certificate successfully to one of the controllers, I just can't seem to upload it to the second.The issue is as follows:
- I've logged into the controller, gone to Security -> Web Auth -> Certificate -> Download Certificate
- I've specified my tftp server details and selected apply
- the process begins and I can see through my tftp client that the controller is attempting to copy and install the certificate
- The controller tries to install the certificate but fails, reporting the same

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have one controller 5508 that will hold 50 LAP 1262 and another Controller that will hold another 50 outdoor mesh access point 1552. Both controllers (not redundant) are at the HQ while the access points are distributed between HQ and 3 branches.
The requirements is to have the SAME 4 SSIDs on MESH and LAP each have a security type (, wep,wpa,dot1x...) on HQ and Branches. Now, in the HQ I don't think I will face a problem since the WLCs is on the same LAN, so 5 interface v lans will be configured one for the WLCs and access point and another 4 interface v lans for the 4 SSIDs.
Now, for the remote sites I need to create another vlan on the switch with DHCP and option 43 ..... for the access point to register with the controller.
But here, do I have to create another 4 interface v lans (4 different sub nets) that should be bidden to the SSID as in the HQ?
Or the Access point will encapsulate all the traffic including the client traffic? Note that I have outdoor mesh access point and Lightweight access point and the BW link between the HQ and branch is 100M.
Also Can I have roaming between the same SSID that broadcasted on MESH and LAP knowing that each have different controller.
[URL] I have one Controller 5508 is my Central Office and I have some Ap's working in local mode in my Central Office, additional I have more Ap's in a remote Office they're are working as H-REAP and I can handles across my WLC.
