Cisco Wireless :: 2500 - LAP Management
Feb 15, 2012
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?

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 have a scenario where we have
Cisco 1300 Outdoor APs
Cisco 3600 Indoor APs
WLC 2500
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 have some concern regarding the compatibility of AP with the WLC. we are using AIR-CT2504(7.0.116.0) series WLC with AP AIR-LAP1242AG(7.0.116.0) but now i checked on Cisco website they are End-of-Sale/End-of-Life for the Power Supply for Cisco Aironet 1130, 1140, 1240 and 1300 Series Access Point.
Now My question is:
1: Which is the latest AP series we should use for WLC 2500 series?

Im making a design for a customer that will have around 200 wireless users.
We were thinking in the WLC 2500, because the number of APs will be around 30.
But the problem is that from time to time, the client organizes events, and in these events the number of wireless clients will be around 600.
In the WLC2500 specs te maximun numbers of users is 500, but i want to know if this is just a recomendation, of if the WLC will drop the connection attemp # 501.

The 5500 WLC would be the primary and 2500 WLC would be the secondary. The only need for the secondary would be in the event of failure of the primary, and support needs when doing maintenance such as code upgrades.
We would use the same version of code on each controller and apply the necessary amount of AP licenses on each. The controllers would have identical configurations and host multiple SSID's, including offering guest services. Does the 2500 support guest network services?

with FW 7.4.100.0 a 2500 controller works as anchor controller, now.I have 3 questions.
1) What are the limitations? 15 EoIP tunnel, Clients? something else?
2) Have Cisco a compatibility matrix about Anchor - Foreign Firmware? (Example works 7.4.100.0 anchor with 7.0.x.x foreign?)
3) A controller works only as anchor. A controller version with lowest AP licence is needed. Right?

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?

My client wants to test their new product with wireless authentication 802.1x EAP TTLS. They have CISCO WLC 2504. Does CISCO WLC 2500 support EAP TTLS, if yes then how to configure. So far I have added Radius TTLS server into my WLC. Under Radius on WLC added radius server IP and key and created new SSID 802.1x WPA+WPA2 ( WPA policy2 and WPA encryption AES) after that under SSID AAAservers selected drop down same server IP. But user tried and didn’t work also we didn’t see any hit on radius server. Yea policy has added on radius. My client wants to use TTLS instead of TLS because in TLS you have to use client certificate on client side but on TTLS you can use certificate on client side but it is optional. So they want to stick with TTLS. But I am not seeing any documentation on TTLS with cisco WLC

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?

We have a couple of Access Points which are not registering with WLC 2500. I followed-up on the two LAPs in the dorm. They were cycling through red, amber, green, indicating they were trying to join the controller but could not.
Recently, we have changed our IP Schema for the Wireless Devices and I believe there is an IP Conflict between APs and WLC. Earlier APs were cofigured with Static IP Address assignment, thus they can't change their IP Address.
how to reset the Access Point? I know we can hard reset them by pressing the Mode button manually.
Is there another way via which this can be done witout removing the Access Points from their enclosures?

We have recently been given this unusual task. The setup is a series of CAP3502P access points, and a wireless controller (either 2500 Series or 5500 Series), as well as other standard network infrastructure.
In this network, the client (mobile/wireless) devices must be able to detect when they change what access point they are communicating through, while also requiring a seamless transition. Ie, if the client device is communicating via access point A, and displaying the application menus for A, when the user walks to the area services by access point B, it must detect that sot he application can display menus for B, without the user having to select "B".
Is there a way for the client device to detect which access point it is using and provide that to an application? Or alternatively a way for a host service residing on a server to get that information from the wireless controller?

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!

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?

Do you know if the new 2500 series controller supports things like mobility groups? Could I use 2 of these and do inter-controller roaming. Also do you know if this would work with a 2106 controller and a 2505 controller or are they 2 completely independent controllers only knowing about their own APs??

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?
