Cisco Wireless :: 2504 Vs 5508 Support For 200 Laptops
Aug 10, 2012
I have a customert that needs to support 200 laptops over 16 classrooms with scalability to 400 laptops. I have a heatmap design to cover this with 22 1042 access points. Does any one know what features the 5508 has over the 2504? By reviewing the data sheets, the biggest feature difference is better support for mobility, which not a need for this deployment as they just wheel a cart of laptops into a classroom and fire them up. Also, does the 2504 support LAG across the four gig interfaces?
We have integrated WLC 5508 to cisco ise 3315 with ios 1.1.1 and using Guest Sponsor portal for wireless guest users.Where we have created open ssid in wlc and redirect web login portal in wlc for guest users. We have enable all respective node in policy service for profiling and also configure snmp in wlc as well as in ise.
When guest user is connected to open ssid its get redirected to web login page of ise portal and when it gets login we are only able to see the username which guest user login but not the end device in monitoring log.
Wireless End devices are not able to get profiled can any one tell me what configuration I need to do on ise or wlc side to profiled end guest wireless device like android,iphone and laptops
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.
does wlc 2504 support air-ap 1262n-e-k9.if yes does the air-ap1262n need any upgrade or sometine to join the controller,this is versions & image for both AP & WLC2504: [code] and the below what i configure for my topology WLC connected to switch by Trunk linke allow all vlans.AP connected to switch by access mode for vlan 20. the IP address sechma :
Is NPS (windows 2008R2) supports EAP-TLS? I've built an NPS to authenticate wireless clients (WLC 2504). But in the EAP types I only see EAP(PEAP) this only requires a certificate on the server side.
I want the clients also should have a certificate, for that the NPS should support EAP-TLS
I have a WLC 5508, AIR-LAP1142N APs and a SSID for students to connect to who bring their own device. I am still testing this and it has not been rolled out but I am running into some serious issues with joining the network. I am authenticating them through a RADIUS server (2008 R2). Problem: many of them cannot connect because they are lacking the certificate.
1. What is a good setup for authentication in a BYOD environment
2. If my setup is good what can I do to allow kids to use their computers on the wireless either without the certificate (which I know is unlikely) or what do I need to have them do to connect. I am hoping it does not involve hard wiring and getting the certificate from the server.
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 ?
I attempted to assign a User Roles template to a## 2504 controller and if failed with message stating controller version not supported. My current WCS version is 7.0172, if I upgrade to the lastest version will that resolve the template issue?
All controllers are in version 7.2.111.3.C1 is a 5508, it is ou anchor controller.C2 is a 5508, it is a big site controller.C3 is a 2504, it is a small site controller. C2 and C3 are in the same mobility group than C1 (and all is up up in mobilty managment). When "DHCP Addr. Assignment" is enable on C1 : Clients on C2 received their IP address by our external DHCP server via C1 and the guest tunneling betwenn C1 and C2 and all is working fine. Clients on C3 don't received their IP address by our external DHCP server via C1 and the guest tunneling betwenn C1 and C3, so nothing work.
which controller I should use with 11 1552E AP ? I know 5508 will work with the AP's, but would the 2504 also work? If 2504 will work, I will go for the 2504 since its a cheaper solution.

Is there any way to configure a wired guest network with a combination of 5508 and 2504 wireless controllers? I am aware that the 2504 does not have wired guest functionality, however is it possible to set up a wired guest on the 5508 and using mobility anchors, transmit the l2 information through eoip to communicate with the remote vlan?Home built NAC solution, using 802.1x authentication on switchports for public areas. If user is an employee, communicates with the supplicant on their machine, and places them on an internal vlan.If user is a guest, user fails 802.1x check and is placed on a "guest" vlan with an ACL and external DNS.If placed on the guest vlan, the user has to accept a terms of use form.This is working currently with our 5508s without any issue, however we have some remote offices we'd like to roll this out to that are using 2504 controllers. I'm hoping there's a way that I can use the 5508 as an anchor or vice versa to make this work.
How Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE) can work with WLAN controller 5508 to do the Local Web Authentication, on behalf tje guest profile is create using Cisco ISE guest management?
As i check Cisco ISE caveat wireless only support on LWA, and LWA not supported on Authorization's VLAN assignment.
what i need to concern abou the ISE authentication and authorization policy on behalf on Wireless LWA with use of ISE guest management case?
I'm running version 7.2.111.3 on my WLC 5508 and I try to figure out how I can set PEAP towards my configurerd Radius servers. On my Local EAP profile I can specify PEAP, but how is it default configurerd when you just specify the radius servers on the "WLANs > Edit Test > security > AAA servers tab ?
The MS radius logs tell me that it is EAP and not PEAP, so the questions is does the WLC support Microsoft: Protected EAP ???

I am trying to follow the Fips guide for the WLC5508 and it wants to encrypt the connection to the Radius, either with PSK key wrap or IPsec. I have the options for Ipsec only as the Windoes NPS does not support Key wrap from what a previous user confirmed for me here on the board.. But then found another post that states that the 5508 does not support IPsec?
As we know that WLC (i.e. 5508) does not support MAB (MAC Auth Bypass) and it supports CWA in 7.2.x. CWA is a result of successfull MAB. So how CWA work for wireless? So it means WLC support MAB?
I have a new deployment of 44 3502i AP's in 3 buildings at one of my campus'.The 5508 wlc is running latest 7.0.116.0 code.I have some users who take their work with them as they go from location to location on this campus.They need to be able to smoothly switch from AP to AP without having to reauthenticate each time the next AP takes over in the handoff.On the ssid in question we run 802.1x back to 1 auth server; there is no failover auth server.All APs are in one AP Group.My thought is to add all 44 of the APs to one HREAP Group.
I have seen that the current WLC software release, 7.0.116.0, does not support secure LDAP using TLS. Are there any plans to incorporate this feature? (I've read that it was supported in previous releases to version 4.2). Is it in the roadmap of the product?
We are moving forward with a mobility project which requires our network to authenticate/authorize based on certificates.
WLAN_1 has 802.1x enabled passing the cert through to the MS CA which authorizes the cred, which in turn passes the AD creds of the user to the MS RADIUS server for authenticate/authorization.
Hardware: WLC 5508 running 7.2.110.0 3600 APs ACS 5.2 not used for AAA
1. As we turn up additional SSIDs, we need Mobile SSID to accept ONLY the Mobile Cert, our Internet SSID to only accept the Internal Cert and our GUEST SSID to deny ANY Cert issued by our CA.I know ISE makes this much easier, but I dont have it and need this to work as best we can until next fiscal cycle..
I have two laptops, both running Vista and want to get a wireless printer to use with them. I do not have a wired ISP; I get my internet through a laptop connect card. I've been told all I need is a wireless printer; I've been told I need a wireless printer and a router; and I've been told I cannot do it without an ISP (i.e., AT&T, Roadrunner, etc.). Which is correct?
Suddenly, for some reason, my two Lenovo laptops last week (one is Windows XP and one is Windows 7) couldn't find any wireless networks. When I click on "View Wireless Networks" all that comes up is the Iban computer to computer network.I know the wireless network router is working as I can connect to it with my non 3G iPad. I also took both computers to work and couldn't connect to an open wireless router there.
Recently my modem/router broke and we had it replaced by our provider. Since it has been replaced we have been having problems with our connection.We have 1 desktop and 2 laptops the desktop is connected to the modem. When we have both laptops running we can browse online okay but if one of the laptops starts downloading something or even loading a video or big web page the other laptops connection will not work it. It says its still connected and finds no problems but no pages will load. I also have problems when I download anything. If I begin downloading then on the same laptop I can not even browse the web while I'm Downloading.
Im having a problem with my laptops wireless capability; it worked fine, until i tried a hardwried connection (i went over to this center and tried one and it didn't work, so i unplugged it).
Now, I can't connect to any wireless networks unless i do the windows network troubleshooter, which it tells me my laptops wireless capability is turned off; I then have to click on the option to turn wireless capability back on..
I have tried playing in change adapter settings in Network Connections, but nothing is working.. I have tried disabling the LAC and wireless adapter but nothing is working..
I also notice under Local Area Connection that is says "Network cable unplugged". Also in one of the tables of the windows network troubleshooter it shows Network cable unplugged and wireless capability is turned off.. Is my laptop trying to find the hardwire connection all the time so it turns off wireless?
