Cisco WAN :: 2500 - Controller Channel / Setting Up Wireless Badges
Feb 14, 2013
We are currently using a Cisco 2500 (licensed for 50 AP's) WLAN Controller. There has been a lot of issues setting up the VOCERA wireless badges, thats on going. The question I have is all the AP's are showing as being on Channel 6, it was thought that the controller would learn the enviroment and move these to none overlapping channels, but has not. Is this right should they all be on the same channel and not 1, 6, 11 accordingly? it is also worth mentioning that the controller can see 61 rogue AP's, yes that is 61 other wireless networks!

I am having trouble adding a new controller(2500) to the WCS.
-My WCS version 6.0.196.0
-My WLC version 7.0.116.0
If i upgrade my WCS i may add the new contoller? Even if in cisco DATA-SHEET there isnt any mention regarding this WLC(basicly it says that the WCS does not support this WLC)
Monitoring and migration of selected Cisco Aironet standalone (autonomous) access points. Monitoring of the standalone access points of Cisco 800, 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers.

I am developing CAP1602I & 2500 Controller.The CAP1602I-E-K9 can't register with the 2500 controller. [code] logging appears: capwap can't process uncryped data..I even didn't configure capwap on CAP1602.May I know if CAP1602 doesn't support LWAPP? Why LWAPP doesn't work?According to the logging, I also tried to configure the "Data Encryption" on 2500 controller ( according to 7.0.116.0 guide)
"Cisco 2500, WiSM2, WLC2—By default, these platforms do not contain DTLS. To turn on data DTLS, you must install a license. These platforms have a single image with data DTLS turned off. To use data DTLS you will need to have a license."Note If your controller does not have a data DTLS license and if the access point associated with the controller has DTLS enabled, the data path will be unencrypted. I should purchase a license? or, if I can configure the CAP1602I to don't encrypt data?

I have a Cisco 2500 Wireless Controller connected and controlling 5 Cisco AP's. Everything works fine except one device.
This device is used to connect to our AP wirelessly and then any of the wireless laptops can use programming software to connect to the device and program through it. I can successfully set up our device on the network and all PCs can ping it, but the programming software refuses to connect to it. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with the device people who assure me its the network. So, I bought in a cheap Linksys router, hooked one laptop up to it and configured the device wirelessly. With that, the programming software works.
what should I be looking for in the Wireless Controller that may be blocking direct connection to the device even though I can ping it?

give me the run down on the features removed from the 4400 series in the 2500 series? Obviously 4400 is now EOL, and so i cannot purchase new. Therefore I was looking at the 2500 for my implementation to save costs also.I would like to have two SSID's, running seperate VLAN's, one voice, one guest, trunk the link to the AP's, which will be 1131AG or newer, N possibly. Voice needs to be encrypted with WPA or WPA2, guest needs to be open using the guest access feature. Here's a sample but with EAP:
[URL]
Is this supported to have WPA on one SSID and Guest access on the other? i did spot a paragraph in the 4400 manual stating that certain restrictions apply regarding one SSID having encryption and the other being guest mode?I notice also in the WCS documentation, it doesn't explicitly state it supports the 2500 series under the managed devices section?

We have recently installed Cisco for our wireless solution. We are an education and are looking to let staff and pupils bring their own devices. The route that we are planning to take to let them join the school's WiFi is to implement a RADIUS server so that they can authenticate with their Active Directory username and password. I have tried to test the solution but so far without any success. I am using a Windows Server 2008 R2 as my NPS server, I have setup the Cisco controller as per below:
Security Tab | RADIUS | Authentication - I added my windows server there and the preshared key, the Network User and Management is ticket and the server responds to a ping command,In the WLANs Tab, I selected my test WLAN and under Security | AAA Servers I selected the RADIUS server that I configured in the Security TabI then try to logon to my test WLAN and on the Cisco WLAN controller I get the following error: AAA Authentication Failure for UserName:test User Type: WLAN USER
Before trying to tinker with policies on the Windows Server I was wondering if the RADIUS is correctly setup on the Controller or have I missed something obvious?

We have a Cisco 2500 WLC with 136 APs. Recently, we discovered eight APs that were not listed on the Wireless > Access Points > All AP list. These APs were once working and connected, but now they are no longer in the All AP list. I located one of these APs and found the green LED blinking. I power cycled the AP and it came back online with a solid green LED and was then registered on the All AP list. The All AP list will only show the connected APs. I would like to know if there is a method to show the APs that were once connected and are no longer registered so we can better identify when an AP is not working?

I have a customer whom has six LAP1131AG-K9 but no controller and they are interested in one of the new 2500 series, specifically a AIR-CT2504-5-K9 with a 5 AP add-on license to bring total AP capacity to 10. I can't determine clearly if this controller will work for these older AP's prior to them making the jump to 802.11n via the 3500 or 3600 series, looking to the community to confirm.

when I did connect the AP to the switch and this is already connected to the WLAN 2500, I got this error message [code] And this AP is not joined to the WLAN 2500, but if I use one model of AP like LAP1120 it works, that mean, the wireless is able to see the Ip Address.How can I do to correct the problem with the AP 3600 series?

I setup cisco wireless controller 2500 connecting 2 Aironet APs, with windows 2008 NPS as radius server (server certificate installed), via
[WPA2][Auth(802.1X)], MAC Filtering
Now I have domain computer (laptop) connected to SSID which provides direct to the LAN dhcp server. That means my notebook got same ip range as when it connected to LAN.
The user used cached domain logon info to logon the computer, then the wireless profile started to connect with radius server which has User group policy.
Problem is the notebook (logon as normal domain user) browse \"domain name" or any \hostname will take 10 mins or more to pop up with "enter network password" or sometimes "The specified netwrok name is no longer avail". However ever if I simply \192.168.2.x which is the host's ip address, I got list of share folders instantly.
And when I disable the wireless and connect to the LAN cable, I had no problem to browse any shared folders.

In our mesh network. there are 8 root AP and 15 mesh AP . we are using 1552E ,i have few questions on it:
1. If the ap's acting as mesh ap are connected with only 2.4 ghz external antenna, will they have problem joining the root access point to form mesh.
2. How should we set the channel assignments. Do we only set them in root ap's.
3. should the channels be set under 802.11a ?
4.should the channel be manually set or should it be left to be chosen dynamically.

I have a couple 3600s that don't want to join. One i and one e that are both doing the something. It is able to find the controller via layer 3 discovery but it is acting like it is a mesh AP when it tries to join the controller.
From the 2500 controller (running 7.2)
*spamApTask2: May 13 12:03:05.272: f0:f7:55:ae:xx:xx Mesh AP username f0f755aexx xx.

From the 3602i
flash:/mesh_start_cfg.txt: No such file or directory. The filesystem containing the variables may not be initialized yet.
I should note that 3500 APs are able to join this controller. The field guy is going to try to add the MAC address to the filter list when he gets back out on site to see if it allows it to join.

A few months ago we upgraded our warehouse from 1242 APs to 3502E APs. We changed 16 units, all in the same building. When we came in the next day we found out that they were all on channel 1 at their lowest power level. The WLC was set for auto negotiate for power and channel but for some reason it did not work. We had successfully changed they rest of the factory with the auto feature enabled but for some reason, the warehouse did not work properly. All APs have the same IOS and are they same model. We have WiSMs mounted in a 6509 chassis as our WLC.

have a Dell Poweredge 2500, and it only has PCI slots, and i need to get a sata controller to add 1/2 drives to it, i am unsure what would be the best, but i am not looking to spend more than 60 or so for it, i am not worried about it being the greatest out there, as this server is going to be replaced in 6 mths, i am just outgrowing the 4-18.6 gig hot swap scsi drives, and my pockets arent deep enough to buy high capacity scsi drives, i will probably add 1, 1 or 2 Terabyte hard drive and a dvd-rw.

I am having trouble on setting up a WLC2100 ver 7. we need to implement a private and public network. private network authenticate to IAS - RADIUS (windows server 2003 server) while the public network is open but when a client connect to AP it will redirect to a 3rd party web athentication - HotSpot Server. the challenge is we want to broadcast a single SSID.
senario:
1. when a user/guest connect to the AP a radius server will authenticate thru IAS - Radius.
2. when a user is authenticate via radius a dhcp server will give an ip address of the private network.
3. if the user is not authenticate a dhcp server will give the public ip address and netowrk traffic must go to a different VLAN.
my question is, is it possible to broadcast a single SSID for the two network? is there a document which is related to our scenario?

I have a Cisco 4404 wireless lan controller managing about 85 AP's.
The wireless side is setup for a private wlan and a public wlan. On the public side, users are directed to a captive-portal agreement page before they can get on the internet. My question is if there is a way for a single client, specified by either mac address or static IP , can be connected to this wlan without being prompted for the agreement page? I would like to setup a wireless printer for guests connected to this public side.

I have a wireless printer on an internal wireless network. I have a laptop connected wirelessly on the same internal network. When both devices are connected to the same network I cannot connect to the printer. If I change my laptop over to the guest wireless or to a wired lan, I can see the printer. I vendor stated that within the 4402 wireless controller there is a setting to allow wifi to wifi connections on the same internal network. I am trying to figure out what that setting is called and where I might look for the setting within the wireless controller.

I've recently purchased a 2504 Wireless controller, and I have 10 2600 APs to deploy. I think I've set up the wireless controller OK - there doesn't seem to be much that needs to be done! But I just can't seem to register an AP onto the system.
Just to briefly outline what I have done, I have connected to the Wireless Controller via terminal emulator and run through the setup, then I have connected OK to the web interface, and I am able to view and amend the controller's configuration. So I have setup a WLAN and thats about it.
Next up I have powered on one of my 2600 APs, and I am able to view it working via terminal emulator again. But I am seeing it continually running the same routine to connect to a controller, and all the time it just fails. Below is what I am seeing.
One thing that I am unsure about is that I am unable to connect to the AP config pages via web browser, using the IP 192.168.0.97 (although it does ping okay). Is that odd?
And the main question - why doesn't the AP connect to the wireless controller? Do the APs need to be authroized on the controller first? If I check the controller's web interface, under Monitor - Statistics - AP Join, I can see the AP listed with Status "Not Joined" but I don't know what I need to do to make it join!

I am currently running a Cisco 4402 Lan controller, I have a Wlan that is running unsecured and i wanted to add a simple web policy log in, so i set up an NPS server on a local DC. I have the two talking . when i go to login at the web login page I get the Error Login Error. When i look at the NPS logs it says: "Network Policy Server granted full access to a user because the host met the defined health policy" . So it has to be in my Cisco set up somewhere seems pretty simple

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?

We are trying to navigate the waters in choosing between a in-house, controller-based, wireless network solution or a cloud-based solution. We have been presented with the usual suspects in cloud-based (Aerohive, Meracki, etc) and with Cisco (5500) and Aruba on the other side. We are a multi-campus organization with approx. 200 APs.Any hard reasons why go with a controller-based vs. cloud-based solution? If we must keep the conversation limited to Cisco, why go Meracki over Cisco's WLC solutions or vise versa?

I am looking to configure a wired and wireless guest network. I have industrial barcode scanners that connect to one SSID and then there is the business network on the office SSID (no vlan seperation for these devices just different SSIDs). There is not really a need to seperate the business network from the scanners in any case. However, there are needs for a guest network and this needs to be seperated. At the bare minumum I would like to have the wireless guest network. Here is what I have: 2125 Wireless LAN controller managing 18 LAPs (1 indoor and 17 outdoors)Cisco Cat 2950 switches (2 x 24 port and soon to be replaced with 2 x 48 port 2960's with 802.1x capability) Sonicwall TZ210 firewallOne existing wired and trunked vlan for PLC infrastructure. One ESXi hosting Windows server guests (soon to be 2 with vMotion) The reason for the wired guest access network is tp prevent anyone from plugging into the wall jack in the office with thier home laptops or anyone else from being on the same subnet as our domain machines. Granted they would be unathenticaed but there would be no layer 2 seperation and that is what I think would be best.
How would I go about doing this on the wireless controller without an anchor controller just using my existing hardware? I would like to have the Guest SSID only availible in the front office. Is it possible to offer a guest network while still servicing the business network SSID on the same access point? Then might I be able to have the guest network be treated as it should at the controller? However this might present another issue altogether as the guest traffic will be over the same wire as the business SSID until it hits the controller for management.

Now i need to integrate the WLC with Windows 2008 AD for authentication.The idea is to let the users authenticate via AD for accesing the wireless network.
Will the integration work with NPS?

I'm configuring a 2500 series WLC to test some wireless configuration changes we'd like to make on our 5500's that are currently in prodcution.
The 2500 and the 5800's interfaces are configured as a LAG.
One of the primary goals of these configuration changes is to move the LAPs from their current VLAN (the same subnet as our primary WLAN) to two separate VLANs. Were choosing to move the LAPs to 2 APs based on the WLC best practices document's suggestion to limit the number of LAPs per vlan to 60-100. We've had several issues in the past with LAPs failing to join with their static IPs, releasing them and then joining with DHCP addresses.
LAP's will be on separate vlans using subnets 10.10.10.0/25 and 10.10.10.128/25. WLC management interface is in the 10.10.1.0/25 subnet.
Should we continue using static IPs for the LAPs or DHCP?
What subnet should the AP management interface be on?
Is it possible to have mutiple AP management interfaces with LAG?
