My customer has two SW6500 on VSS mode connected via VSL. Anyone connected WLC5508 with SW6500 VSS using LAG feature ?I wish to connect one uplink from LAG to the first switch and the second uplink to the other. The two switches are considered like one logical software.I have already read the best practice from CISCO when we connect a 5508 to a switch regarding the port-channel but nothing regarding VSS and VSL link.

LINK L2, Between SW4500 and SW6500.
I have experience too much traffic between the link L2 (Fastethernet - GigabitEthernet),, 90%. What can I do to fix that, any command? rate-limit or something?
Here is some outputs of the interfaces:
FastEthernet2/30 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

how to migrate from WLC4404 to WLC5508. I want to know your propositions.
I could replicate the configuration manually but there is a lot of confirugation menus and all. If both could be online and migrate the AP to the new one until there is none on the old one, it would be great.
the guy who set the key for WPA-PSK and another one for WEP left... Anyway we can figure out what the key was?
View 5 Replies View RelatedCurrently we have 20 remote sites, each with 2-5 AP's each. They all connect back to our Main Data Site in the US and register on a single WLC5508.
We do not have a backup WLC, but are looking to purchase one. What I would like to know is, are there any problems with the secondary WLC being installed in our Main Data Site in Europe? These two main sites are connected via a 10M MPLS WAN.
So all the remote sites could still connect to the WLC in the US, but in the event of a WLC failure in the US, they would need to fail over to the site in Europe
I'm using WLC5508 /w 7.0..My client do not get its IP. Status shown "DHCP_REQD".I found in (Cisco Live) Troubleshooting Wireless LANs with Centralized Controllers This related with Enable/Disable DHCP Proxy checkbox. I solved. with Enabling this.But,
1) Why this box have been working correctly for longtime? No one did diable/enable this feature on my box.
2) I guest, ver7.0 Disables this chechbox by default. Or not? I also have others two 7.2 boxes. Those are all Enabled.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere is a problem with my WLC, it is not allowing an specific client to connect. It gives an 802.1x failure log but I am not using it, anyways the WLC puts this client in the excluded clients list and I didn't add it manually, in fact is a new laptop.
I attached a couple of screens from my WLC.

looking at doing the site survey before detailed implementation. we plan to use a wlc5508, AP3602, a good tripod/stand, PoE switch and AirMagnet to conduct the site survey. i'm inclined to use a single AP and just a guest SSID and let AirMagnet merge the readings on where i 'locate' the AP (on 1 VLAN)

I checked allready the documention about Mesh but i'm not sure if Flexconnect and Mesh works togheter. This MAP is in a branch office and the WLC is in the head quarter therefore he likes to uses Flexconnect togheter with Mesh.
I have a customer who is going to deploy a WLC HA AP SSO setup. I have recommended them to have 4 Gigabit SFP modules in each WLC5508.The customer now asks if it is possible to only have one or two SFP modules in the standby unit ? As he says it is properly not going to go in service one time within the next five years if he is unlucky.

So i want to know, can i upgrade it to this version when we are having the WCS in our network ?
I am implementing Cisco Network Access Control with Wireless Controller 5508 (WLC5508 below) . Could you tell me how to register WLC5508 as SNMP Agent for Cisco Access Manager (CAM below) ?

I succeeded to register WLC5508 by using IP address of Service Port on the CAM Web Console. But WLC5508 has only one Service Port, which has no redundant port. I want to register it by usin Management Interface, which has backup port. It is also desirable to implement redundancy of Service Port if possible.
I am currently working on a lab and simulating a scenario that I will have to implement into production in the future. I am trying to setup a Guest SSID on a WLC (5508). This Guest SSID is to display the a set of Terms & Conditions, which then a user is to accept and then they move forward onto having access to the guest network.
I am familiar with performing this step using WebAuth, but it seems like the T&C are extremely long. The WebAuth page comes back with a "text exceeded limitation", on top of that I do notice that I would have to have a username and password.
Is there a feature in the WLC that would allow this scenario to work? Or will I have to build or download a customized WebAuth page?
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.
In one week I need to import the config from my 4404 WLC to my new 5508, then I just want to change the mgnt IP address of the 5508 and then bring it into the same mobility group.How do I import the config when the 5508 is straight out of the box?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been asked to setup wireless and we have purchased WLC 5508 and 1142 APs.We have several remote sites and a centralized WLC. The requirement are to have a common SSID (Corporate) advertised across all the remote sites and have that SSID locally switched, and have another two SSID Guest and Mobile tunneled back to the central site (WLC).I want all the wireless (Corporate) clients to use the same subnet as the wired clients at each remote site, the IP assigment will be done by a DHCP server at the central site. The Guest and Mobile users will use a common subnet each across all the site and this will also be handled by the DHCP server at the central site.
I have enabled H-REAP with Centralized Authentication and Local switching but I'm not sure about the second part which is to have a common SSID (Corporate) across the remote sites and localy switched whilst having the other two SSIDs tunneled back to the WLC. Cisco TAC told me to configure dynamic interfaces for each of the remote site but then he said I still wouldn't be able to switch the Corporate traffic localy if I use a different subnet to the wired subnet for the wireless clients.
My problem ist that i have 4 air-cap-1552e APs witch are powerde trugh Power Injectors. They worked fine for a few days but then the controller (7.2.111.3) lose connection to them. Right now i have only one Joined AP. The other 3 are status not joined. I can Ping all 4 Aps and wifi clients are connected through them.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI tried to implement WLC5508 in my network but when I came to connect it to the switch core which is a Catalyst 4000 the link didn't get up. This switch module is a fastethernet, I wonder if that might be the problem since I also tried connecting my laptop to the WLC and the link got up.
If that might be the cause, is it possible to get WLC to 100 Mbps?
I have on my desk a WLC-5508 that I need to setup to ship to a remote location. Normally we configure 4402 model and this model/version appears to be much different. I am trying to configure just enough via the command line to access the GUI via a laptop directly connected to the device. I’ve gone through the Wizard Configuration Tool where you set the hostname, admin account, and management interface (among other things). We use LAG and tagged VLAN on the management interface. I’ve been told in the past this is how we configured the 4402 models via laptop directly connected once the GUI is accessible, but with LAG enabled I don’t understand how a laptop could communicate via trunk, so I've disabled LAG and set the VLAN to untagged. In either case the laptop does not communicate with the WLC. Skipping ahead to my current setup I see the following information via the CLI:

we have a cisco WLC 5508 on which few SSIDs are configured, and two kinds of APs: AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 and converted AIR-AP1141N-E-K9.
When in WLAN settings we leave WPA2 policy and AES encryption, iPads2 can connect without any problems to AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9, but there is no connection to converted AIR-AP1141N-E-K9. MacBooks, iPhones are connecting without questions.
When we set WPA2+TKIP everything is cool, but other Apple devices can't rich 802.11n speeds((
With only WPA2+AES or both WPA2+AES+TKIP enabled on a WLAN the WLC gets such messages :
Decrypt errors occurred for client xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx using WPA2 key on 802.11b/g interface of AP xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
But I know that it can happen when you offer funny encryption combinations that client doesn't like (wpa1+aes, wpa2+tkip). But the advise to try to only enable wpa2/aes for some reason doesn't work.
how to set up support 802.11n on WLC4404 or WLC5508 in the 2.4Ghz? WLC4404 supports 802.11n? or support this protocol only in the brochures? I spent a few days, but did not get the result. I'm connected at speeds 65/130Mbit, but the real speed tests never exceeded 45Mbit. The AP from the test laptop is 7-10 meters.I tested the laptops with a Linksys AP E1200-EE ( 40Mhz, FastEthernet uplink port...)and received nearly 100Mbit!
At WLC5508 able to connect at speeds 150/300Mbit/c but only in the 5GHz band, but real speed tests never exceeded 70Mbit.In 2.4Ghz range I connected at speeds of 130/144Mbit/c, but actual measurements showed no more than the 45Mbit.
All tested with iperf and with site speedtest.net.

I have two WLC5508 controllers running 7.0.230.0, which having the two of them probably is inconsequential because all the APs are added to only one controller. The problem I'm facing is that I have several LAP1552E's deployed throughout my facility, and I have several that are doing Ethernet bridging to some Cisco switches using G0. In this, I have a PC at the end of one of these switches, and using Iperf and PingPlotter to get some metrics, and what I'm seeing is >400ms latency with <3 Mbit throughput to the PC. On the 802.11a radios I have 18 Mbit set as mandatory, with everything below disabled and everything above Supported, with all MCS indexes under 802.11n enabled.
My channel is set to 161 with a 40 MHz channel-width, and a power of 3 configured.After many days of trying different power settings, channel settings, and such, I can't get better results than above and my channel utilization stays > 75% at all times. I do have video cameras attached to the other bridges switches, and have video QoS set to Bronze and the cameras configured to ~ 1 Mbit bandwidth maximum. Also, average RAP-MAP distance is ~ 1100 ft and average MAP-MAP distance is 400 ft, with the longest RAP-MAP being 1400 ft and MAP-MAP distance being 875 ft.
I try to configure an AP1131 as OfficeExtend but unfortunately I receive the following message from the debug command on the WLC5508: (Cisco Controller)

I have the attached diagram and I followed the instructions from another posts / forum cases and the Apple TV is still not working.
My questions are:
1.-The WLC controller and AP must be in the same subnet?. This is not my case, the AP 3500 is operating in a remote location and I have a centralized WLC 5508.
2.- I already configured the Controller --- > General --- > Broadcast forwarding (enable) + AP Multicast Mode (Multicast / IP: 239.20.226.197).
3.-I already configured the Controller --- > Multicast ---- > Enable Global Multicast Mode (selected) + Enable IGMP Snooping (selected) + Enable MLD Snooping (selected). Please see the attachment.
4.-Do I have to configure something in the Mobility Management --- > Multicast Messaging --- > (Enable Multicast Messaging + Local Group Multicast IP Address) ?????
The Apple TV Device and Ipad are authenticated in the ISE using certificates with no issues and both got IP's from the DHCP for the WLAN Vlan assigned to the SSID activated (see pictures attached).
I want to start implementing a small outdoor mesh network of 3 APs Aironet 1550 in order to grow afterward with more APs. Is there any way to configure those 3 APs in an outdoor mesh configuration (for example, only one RAP and two MAPs) without a Wireless LAN Controller or I have to have at least, one WLC? My idea is to have a WLC 5508, but at the very beginning I don't know if my budget is gonna allow me to cost the WLC.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn an enviroment with WCS and a WLC5508 with 40 AP's (WAPs are either 1262's and 1252's), I have noticed that the bulk of users are infact operating on 802.11g although most operating notebooks are running 802.11n capable NICs (including my own laptops NIC - but yet when I connect I connect at 54Mbps.). Only a small portion of registered clients are using 802.11n. All my WAPs have both radios enabled?My question is how does a client notebook select a "prefered" band of 802.11n. I know in some cases the wireless NICs themselves have an option to select the "Prefered Band", but there are many notebooks out there that dont have this option. What would make a client connect at 802.11n over 802.11g? Who makes that call ?
