Cisco Wireless :: 1231 AP With WLC 2504 - Compatibilty?
Jul 11, 2012
I have four 1200 series AP. Part number of these AP's is AIR-AP1231G-A-K9. I am thinking to buy a new 2504 WLC with 5 AP licenses. Just wondering whether my AP's are compatible with WLC or not. These AP's are in close proxomity and start contending with each other if I configure the stand alone.
Converted a Cisco 1231 with the Update Tool to lightweight (used c1200-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar). It worked, but now the AP issn't joining the wlc: [code]
AP with MAC 00:1e:13:10:40:59 (AIR-AP1231G-E-K9 ) is unknown.
I updated the AP to lightweighd firmware using upgrade tool. But upgrade tool generate the csv files empty so I had no idea about Hash key, so I resetted the APs to default values.
WLC still doesn't register them.
How Can I register the APs? The version of the WLC is 7.3.101.0
At work we have some older 1231 AG model access-points and a WLC with version 7.0. I was trying to convert them to lightweight and they will not join the controller without importing a .CSV file into the WLC. I cannot figure out to import that file, I cannot find any documentation on how to add the certificate with version 7.0.
We have found that only Cisco 1231 WAP are exhibiting this behaviour. Their Primary WLAN controller is Cisco1 WLC but they fail to register to Primary WLC and fall back to Cisco2 WLC. After about 200 sec , they attempt to connect to Primary WLC once again and fail. The whole cycle is repeated every 250 seconds.
I have some old 1231 APs in the school in which I work.I would like to create a local network (no LAN, no internet, just a point to point wifi connection) managed by the access point (in DHCP).That's because we have an apple TV connected to a projector and some ipads. My idea was to put the devices locally in the same closed network for share via AIR Mirror the ipads on the apple TV.
I'm having little success migrating our older Aironet1231 to our new WLC 5508. The 1231 is currently registered as a LAP to a 4400 WLC and I'm in the process of moving away from this controller to the new one. I've pasted the output of the error messages I'm getting below. At this point, I'm stuck and not sure how to get around the "Failed to parse CAPWAP packet" error.
I'm getting these messages when I have: debug pm pki enable debug capwap errors enable
I initially got this error, but got passed it when I allowed SSC in the 5508 (Security -> AP Policies) sshpmGetIssuerHandles: SSC is not allowed by config; bailing...
Now I'm getting these: *sshpmLscTask: Jul 09 11:13:11.516: sshpmLscTask: LSC Task received a message 4
I have a problem where clients cannot roam between Cisco 1231g-e-k9 and recently installed cisco 1242g-e-k9 access points.. On looking at the CDP option on the 1231 and 1242 access points they are all aware of each other. However if I use the Network View option I see a different picture. All the 1231 access points can see each other but not see the 1242's. Network View on the1242 shows all the 1231's but none of the 1242's. The 1231 are running ver. 12.3(8)JEB and the 1242's are running ver. 12.4(21a)JA1.
I have configure my AP with to SSID (11 & 12), but I cannot connect to 12. It authenticates, and while trying to acquire IP address from 12, it fails and connects me to 11 (if I have already saved the SSID connection).
The following is my AP status:Product/Model Number:AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 System Software Filename:c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEE System Software Version:12.3(8)JEE Bootloader Version:12.3(2)JA4
The SSID 12 already have 4 clients connected, And I am tring to connect a 5th one (smart phone), but cannot connect to 12, instead coneected to 11. Also tried with a laptop, but cant get the IP address, and give Limited Connectivity error.
I have a (old) 1231 that I would like to reuse, but no one remembers the password. how to recover a password from this model AP or how to reset the device to factory default?
Customer is interested in deploying the 3600 AP's but will not be able to replace all his 1231's, any chance there is a release between 7.0.220.0 and 7.1.91.0 that will support both AP's?
I have one controller 2504 and some 1200 series access points.I am using 3 SSID .I want to use two ssid in HREAP mode but HREAP mode is not showinh in access point because multicast is enabled on AP mode. see the below picture
I have disabled the multicast globally from CLI. config network multicast global disabled
disabling the multicast so that i can set the access point in HREAP mode.
I cannot TFTP this tar file to both 1230 and 1231 APs. Both are lightweight APs that I've wiped to the rommon mode (ap>) and I issue the command:
tar -xtract c1200/k9w7-mx.123-8.JA 10.0.0.2
And I get a error saying: "permission denied"
Notes: The AP has defaulted to the 10.0.0.1 IP. My laptop is set to 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 IP My TFTP-Server is on and the root folder with the .tar file is in there. ether_init, flash_init, tftp_init (these commands have been executed) My firewall is disabled.
I can't seem to get the SSID RadiusTest to work properly.
Windows PC's show "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you into the network". Macs don't authenticate either. Radius server isn't seeing any requests at all. Radius server is working because we are authenticating other things to it.
On my test 1231, IOS is 12.3(8) JEB1.

I have two 1231G Aironet's that work correctly when I connect them to my Catalyst 3548XL and my 3550-48-XL switches. When I connect them to the 3550-24-PWR switch I do see them when I issue sh cdp nei det. It shows me the IP of the wireless router. But when I ping the Aironet, I do not get any replies. If I plug the Aironet into my 3548XL and ping the IP, I get 5 replies. Here is the port config on both switches:
After upgrading from a 1231 autonomous to an 1142 autonomous AP some machines can no longer authenticate. AP logs show authentication failure and access reject coming from the Radius server. Radius server shows authentication failures but no specific reason. Using the same account on another machine works fine. Machine settings have been verified and if we go back to the 1231 all users authenticate fine. Below are the configs:

I'm planning to upgrade our WLC 2504 from 7.2.111.3 to 7.4.100.0 but the cisco site says "WLC Version 7.4.100.0 will need Prime Infrastructure Version 1.3 to be managed, Version 1.3 is not yet available to download at this point of time" Is it something about NCS? we have only 1 cisco WLC 2504 and 6 1142APs.. Also let me know is it possible to go directly from 7.2 to 7.4 ?
I've problem with a WLC 2504. Some Clients like phones and Thin Clients get an IP 0.0.0.0.Software Version is 7.0.235.0. Test with a Laptop seams to be OK. Some printers also got an 0.0.0.0.Around 30% are not OK. also had the log: Impersonation of AP with Base Radio MAC 00:yy:yy:yy:yy:yyusing source address of 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx has been detected by the AP with MAC Address: 00:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy on its 802.11b/g radio whose slot ID is 0 The problem is, I cannot go to 7.2 version because I have 2 x AP 1231 and 2 x 1242 AP's.1231 AP's are not anymore supported in 7.2 Version.
I have two WLC 2504 controllers. These controllers are for two different buildings. But they share a VLAN, and network address range. How can I control the access points to the register selected only at a specific controller.
Example:
AP 1 -> WLC 1 AP 2 -> WLC 2 AP 3 -> WLC 1
Since the buildings also broadcast in different SSID. The two controllers are in a mobility group.
Some time ago I updated a WLC, model 2504, from version 7.3 to 7.4.100.0. I also update the FUS (Field Upgrade Software) to the latest release, 1.8.0.0. Now I need to downgrade the WLC back to 7.3 version.
My doubt is: Can I just take the normal processes and downgrade the WLC back to 7.3, even with the FUS in version 1.8.0.0?
I'm new in installing WIFI, I have WLC 2504 using 7.4.100.0. I have AP 1600 (AIR-CAP1602E-E-K9)
I installed the WLC and AP in a cisco poe switch, wlc and ap are in the same subnet and can ping ap from WLC, but the AP cannot join the wlc. i have this error message
(Cisco Controller) >show ap join stats detailed 00:06:f6:d6:03:f0
Sync phase statistics - Time at sync request received............................ Not applicable - Time at sync completed................................... Not applicable
I currently have a single 2504 Controller managing 50 AP's. I am adding a Second 2504 AP Controller with 15 Lic to manage an additional 10 AP's. My current 2504 has each port configured for my four subnets that and it is managing AP's in 4 buildings. Should I configure the new 2504 the same way so that it can see all four sites? All so if the main 2504 goes down can the second 2504 take over even thou we will be out of lic?
I have a problem in join my ap1130ag in my wlc 2504 i activate dhcp internel (172.19.1.50 ----> 172.19.1.60) in wlc and this wlc affected address for ap1130ag (172.19.1.51) wlc and ap1130ag is connected with switch 2960 (port 17,18) this port the switche is configured in trunk mod allowed all vlan then my wlc not detected ap1130ag?
I've got a 1524 ap and it wont join my 2540 WLC. The messages I see in the WLC is RADIUS authorization is pending for the AP. I've added the MAC address of the ap under AP Policies using MIC. I dont have a radius server either so not sure how to tackle this one.When I run debug capwap events enale under the wlc I see the following messages:Discarding discovery request in LWAPP from AP supporting CAPWAP.
We have a 2504 on version 7.2.103.0 and 15 of the 1131 AG's.In short we cannot get the access points to register against the WLC, they seem to be caught up in a boot loop. They are seen on the WLC with a status of downloading, then once they have downloaded (Seen via CLI) I get an error message things I can confirm are The Country code is set to GB All ports are in Native VLAN Access points are ETSI type. It stops and restarts at syslog output DTLS-3-BAD-RECORD: Erroneous record recieved from x.x.x.x: Duplicate (replayed) record.
Can a 2504 WLC on a remote site provide guest access on one SSID, drop taht out locally on that site and provide corporate access on a second WLC that it then tunnls to a 5508 at the main corporate site ?
upgrade on the wireless controller 2504 from 7.0 to 7.4 is direct upgrade.My customer faced problem by upgrading the software 7.0 to 7.4 directly and the image hang.how should proceed recover the image 7.4/
I would like to get it clarified, that Cisco WLC 2504 running the code ( 7.2.110.0 ) does support IPv6 or not ?
From Cisco Documents they are asking to enable IPv6 support under WLAN > Edit Page, and Enabling mulicast on Ethernet Multicast Mode under Controller > General.
But from the GUI am not able to find the above two field, Even in Interface i created under Controller > interface is not accepting IPv6 address. I am able to configure IPv6 ACL .
Is any deployment document is available to show different scenarios with configuration.
Currently I am using WLC 2504 with Software version 7.0.220.0. I am having some issues with Windows 8 clients they can't connect and I read on couple of review that wlc needs upgrade software.
I checked and latest versin is 7.4. Can I go to this version directly or I have to jump step by step.
