WLC with standard sw can not handle mesh APs?
At the present, we have two WLCs (5508). There are a total of 84 LAPs (1242AG). One controller is configured as the master controller in which all our APs associate to. It's currently running software version 7.0.116.0 and some of our BYODs using Windows 8 are unable to connect to the wireless. The fix for this is to upgrade the software of the WLC so that the LAPs can obtain the update to solve this problem. Simple! However, before rolling this out into the production wireless network, I would like to test it out on our second WLC which has no LAP associations, a test WLAN configured, and a newer software image loaded (7.4.100.0). I have a spare LAP that was previously associated with the master controller running the same software version (7.0.116.0). What I'm looking to do is associate this LAP to the 2nd WLC instead of the master so that I can ensure that the LAP gets the newest software. Then, I would like to test a Windows 8 device to make sure it connects.So far, I have done the following:
1. Disabled the 1st WLC from using Master Controller Mode and rebooted AP - result was unsuccessful; still associated to 1st WLC.
2. Reset LAP configuration excluding static IP info and reset AP - result was unsuccessful; still associated to 1st WLC.
3. Compared config for both WLC but since I'm new to these devices, I'm not sure what needs to be configured/changed.
I have been installing Light Weight AP's and these make LMS device discovery take much longer because they are found via CDP but do not run SNMP. So you suffer the SNMP retry and wait time for each one which adds up with several hundred AP's. I added the CDP platform description they announce via CDP to system-config.xml but this didn't do the trick. I have updated system-config.xml successfully in the past to add ATA's and 7936 conference phones and this stopped discovery from processing these devices. So I was surprised when this didn't work for LW AP's. The CDP platform of the AP's looks like this (from show cdp n):
Platform: cisco AIR-CAP3502E-A-K9 , Capabilities: Trans-Bridge
So you can see cisco is all lower case and there appears to be spaces at the end before the comma. I thought the spaces might be the problem so I added them in system-config.xml but this didn't work. When I display system-config.xml with the XML editor in IE it does not show spaces at the end even though they are their when I look at the file with notepad. When I enable debug for discovery it shows these being added to the bypass table for CDP discovery but it still tries to process them. This is LMS 3.2 on Windows Server 2003. I use the CDP module for discovery.
I have an AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9, serial number FTX1623B0RX. I just need to know how old this unit is. (I haven't attached it to our Cisco account, so I can't open a TAC for it.)

Recently, our company wireless AP 1262 connected more than 40+ clients, and sometimes the wireless access speed is too slow. those clients are only for MES data transfer, the date no more than 10K of each stations. So I'd like to know if the one AP can support the network traffic if whole testers transfer the data to Database via this wireless AP1262? and the WLC no clients roaming option for which clients can connect to another AP around. I have checked the WLC and AP configuration. no option for clients roaming to another APs, do you know how to configure this AP's Clients move to another APs?If we setup the new APs in the location, does the clients will be auto connect to this new AP?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have a WLAN consisting of a WLC 4402 and 11 lightweight APs. For security/compliance reasons we have a Cisco PIX firewall that sits between the WLC (outside) and the APs (inside). The APs are allowed to form LWAPP tunnels through the firewall (inside access-list) to the WLC and the WLAN works as expected.The firewall then limits traffic from the WLAN (outside access list) to certain the internal systems.I have noticed that every so often the firewall logs show continuous "Land attack from 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" messages then all APs are disconnected (all lights flash).

All these 9 APs are connected to WLC and all of them are added to default ap group to broadcast all the ssid... But 7 in the second bulding are working properly, but the 2 in the other building are not broadcasting the ssids. I checked the configuration in both APs and WLC as well... All the 9 APs are having the same configuration.
View 12 Replies View RelatedIs the process for converting 1260 APs to lightweight mode any different from converting 1140s or 1250s? I've converted several APs to LWAP mode but this is my first 1260. Four 1260s need to be converted.I have one in a remote location that seems to be comatose. Here are the steps I took to convert the AP. Did skip/miss a step?
1. uploaded code to the AP ap3g1-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar
2. configured the AP for DHCP. It successfully leased a DHCP address. Controller information is provided via DHCP Option 43.
3. saved the configuration
4. verified the code, successful
5. disabled wireless radios
6. installed the lightweight code using the command archive download-sw /safe flash:/ap3g1-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar.The installation was successful
7. rebooted the AP
After that nothing. The AP has not leased another IP address. The switchport is active. The APs MAC address is registering in the switches MAC address table. The AP is receiveing PoE from the switch. I noticed that this AP is only receiving 6.2W of power where the three are getting anywhere between 8.8W and 9.3W. I am unable to ping the old static IP of the AP too.
I do have 1131 LWAPP in home, i was wondering if i can convert to Autonomous . I read in the documentation, that only way is to use with controller. can i convert without connecting to WLC .

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup a 2504 Wireless Controller with a few AIR-AP1262N-E-K9 Access Points. But i'm having trouble getting the access points to connect to the controller.The controller and AP's are setup at a local network at one of my customers. They are part of a quite large organization and are therefore connected to some of their other divisions in different contries via MPLS. The DHCP and DNS servers are therefore on a different subnet.I have confirmed that the Access Points do get a correct IP from the DHCP server and that i am able to ping from the controller to the AP. When looking at the controller it does not receive any join requests from the AP's. I have setup a console connection to the controller and 1 AP, so i can view debug information.Most guides mention that you can run different LWAPP commands from the CLI on the AP like show lwapp for example. But i am not able to run any of these LWAPP commands on my AP.

Questions :
1. What is the maximum number of simultaneous users that can be connected to a Cisco Access point, is it 255 or can be more ?
2. If I define multiple SSID’s, what if the total numbers of users that can be connected to a Cisco Access point
3. I there a simulator tool that can be used to simulate multiple wireless connections to an AP
4. Have anyone tested so many users connected to 1 Access point ?
One of my customers asked me to configure a WLC 2106 and 2 LAP 1131AG (lightweight) for corporate/guest Wifi. Basically they want to implement a good wifi connection for internal use and a guest one with different QoS. The two lans should both have dhcp but they must bet kept segregated so that none from the Guest wifi can access corporate resources.
Since i've never configured a WLC from scrath i lightly supposed it would be quite straigh forward as routers and switches from Cisco.Unfortunately i was totally wrong.
I've downloaded the "Cisco Wireless LAN ControllerConfiguration Guide" (Soft.Release 6.0 June 2009) and after i red it i made up this workflow
for the configurations:
1) Configure Controller: (via serial)
- Set Management Interface parameters (IP- SM - Def GW - Dhcp server IP)
- Set Ap-Manager Interface parameters
- Virtual Interface parameters
- Set Admin Credentials
- Dhcp Configuration (internal and/or external)
2) Ap registration on the controller
- Configure vlan with dhcp request redirection to the dhcp server
3) Configure Wlan following customer's requests.
- Configure Wlan Auth for Corporate/Guest Wifi
- Configure QoS for both Wlans
Unfortunately i'm experiencing issue while trying joining the AP to the WLC.It appers that the IT guy of my customer tried to configure one of the Ap.In that Ap's flash i find files referring to a "mesh" configuration like: [code]

after several years of proper functioning my WAP started to make trouble and recently stopped working. I've tried a lot of options to get it back online but I failed doing so.The green ACT LED won't light up anymore so my laptop cannot find the WAP anymore. When connecting the WAP directly to the laptop the Network Center shows that Windows is trying to identify the WAP but this messages disappears and re-appears on and on but there is no succes in identification (ofcourse this is caused the the green ACT LED which won't light-up).

I have an existing setup of older 1242AG-E-K9 access points with Air-ANT-ANT5160 antennas connected to them. Goal is to replace old AP's with new AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 model. Question is that can I use only one antenna per radio? Does it work? I know that N-standard requirement is 3 antennas per radio (3 x 2.4G and 3 x 5G) but we need only B/G to work. Plan is to re-use existing AIR-ANT-ANT5160's and order new AIR-ANT2506 antennas. Setup per AP would be 1 x 2.4G and 1 x 5G.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have a building with 6 Cisco Airnet 1140 connected to a Cisco 2100 WLC, all tied into a nice Central Certificate server and a Win2008 NPS/Radius server on a Win2008 AD. Our trusted PC wireless access is fine, with domain laptops with certificates authenticating with DHCP all round the building. We use GP to apply settings to an AD integrated Proxy server for internet access.
The problem I now have is with guest access...
We are an education establishment, so students could turn up with anything from a laptop to an iPad to an Android phone, which immediately rules out using proxy PAC files to configure the proxy.
What I really want is a method of using the radius to verify the guest user against their existing AD user account, which I believe is possible. The one snag we have is in order to avoid the user having to configure the Internet proxy we would have to switch it to a transparent mode, which immediately restricts our ability to report on AD username, we would only have an IP address to report on, which is next to useless!
We've looked at a Gateway product (Astaro), which integrates the Filtering onto the Gateway, but the downside is that you have to use their APs, so we would be replicating existing work, whilst also managing two filters.
I have a wireless controller 2100. I can't access it via browser, when I am connected to one of its physical ports. I use the same subnet ip address as that of the management interface of the wlc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought an LG Bluray DVD player (BD390) which is unable to find the access point in my home network.My router is a WRT54G, ver. 2.2, running firmware: Ver.4.21.1. My home network uses high speed cable with two computers on the wireless network, all working with no problems.The router is on the second floor but the two computers and the new BD390 are on the first floor - about 35 feet away. I have the wirelss security set to none and use only the specific computer MAC addresses to allow connection to this network.
I found directions in the forum for a setup using the LG BD390 but with a different Linksys router. I changed the security to WPA (AES); the Beacon interval from 100 to 75; the Fragmentation Threshold from 2346 to 2304; and the RTS Threshold from 2347 to 2307. The DVD wireless connection still failed to find my network. There is a "Push button" connection feature on the BD390 setup which I tried, but the only "button" on the router I could find was in the basic wireless setting, a green icon for the wireless SSID setup. No connection was made there either.
The recommendation connection from the LG manual is for a network cable, but that would be over 50 feet and a real pain to connect, so I would prefer WiFi.
Got a bit of a quandary with joining new access points to our 5500 series W LAN Controller. It looks like the LAP is initially able to see the W LAN controller, but after that things go sideways. The LAP is pulling a valid IP address from DHCP, and the W LAN Controller is able to ping it.
In the controller's AP Join Statistics we get this:
Last AP Message Decryption Failure
Last AP Connection Failure -Timed out while waiting for ECHO repsonse from the AP
Last AP Disconnect Reason

I had to reset my access point but the login screen fails to appear to lock the router. I don't have the setup wizard disk.
