i have cisco CAP 3602e series access point to work with 5500 series controller with code 7.0i did not find VCI option 60 for this type of APs to configure DHCP. How I can let these APs will join the controller, i mean through which process DNS discovery methode and what about if i need to configure option 60 and 43 in dhcp for ap joining process to controllers.

I would like to buy Cisco Aironet 1260 Access Points, i just want to use them independantly so i want to know do they work without the Wireless LAN Controller? or i have to have the controller for them to work? they will be in different locations so i cant have a controller per each location.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 5500 controller that we use to manage our lightweight access-points. We have had complaints that the 'guest' vlan in the boardroom is not usable. Our guest vlan is in fact overloaded.
I went back to the original site survey and noticed that coverage for the room is not ideal so I would like to have a new lightweight access-point installed in the boardroom and somehow limit the access to it to only a few people.
We have cisco 2504 controller and 1200 series access point.These are in India and country code is IN.When access point joins the controller , then in wireless>advanced , i see the two country code is already configured these are Sri Lnaka(LK) and Singpore (SG).I have disabled the radios and changed the country code to IN but after doing that Access point is not joining the controller and giving the duplicate error.
Then i have again set the country code to IN,LK and SG.I am able to see the LK and SG but In is not showing in drop down list.
Operationally everything is working fine.
I have a new WLC 5500 series which i upgraded to a newer version. We got brand new AP's 1242 from Cisco. My ex-colleague had said that we can pre-image the AP's using the controller, so the new AP's get the image directly from the Controllers.
I have the following devices with me for this: A WLC 5500, 1242 AP ( 12 No.'s) and a 2960 switch. I tried to create dhcp pool in wlc so the ap get the ip and gets the image . However, i cant see the ap appearing in wireless tab.
The WLC & AP will be connected to this same switch.
What configuration needs to be done on the WLC & the Switch so that the 1242 AP's when connected physically to the ports on the switch will get the image from the WLC.
Is there any chance the Wireless Repeater mode work with WPA2-AES ?If not, which model of AP should I buy to connect it with my wap54g as Wireless Repeater?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
i have access point but no security code where do i find this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Cisco Series 4400 WLAN controller and I'm trying to connect a lightweight AP to the controller. I have already assigned the switch port to use my wi-fi VLAN, and have connected the AP to the switch. After a few minutes, the light on the AP goes from green to light blue (indicating it's serving clients). When I log into he wi-fi controller to look for the Ethernet mac address of the new AP, I do not see its Mac Address. I want to be able to rename the AP to reflect where it will be used, but need to select the AP via its Ethernet mac address before I can make any edits like changing its name etc. I've gone through the "monitoring" menu, selected "All" and still do not see it in their via its MAC address. I also will select the "wireless menu" which lists all the AP's on my network, listing in order from on the longest running, to just powered on.Is there something I'm missing like a "re-scan" that scan's all devices?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get a 1262AP registered to wireless lan controller. The core switch has three 2 vlans in it, management which is vlan 41 and AP interaction vlan which is vlan 51.Controller also has both these vlans.
Vlan 41 - 192.168.40.x/23 ( management vlan)
Vlan 61 - 192.168.61.x/24 (AP vlan)
WLC management interface IP is 192.168.40.18
WLC AP interface IP is 192.168.6.241
Now , during the initial steps, the access points are attached to the switchports on vlan41, wherein they get the dhcp ip from the temporary pool created on the controller and get registered.But, these access points in actual environment needs to be on static ip address. When it's ip is changed to a static IP address from the controller , it fails to register to the controller. the switchport is put on vlan6 as access port , after static ip is assigned to the access point.The error i receive is ;
%CAPWAP-3-EVENTLOG: Could not resolve gateway. Not sending discovery request to 0.0.0.0, type 1
the core switch we are using in this new setup is a 2960 with a lanbase image. I realised the switch is not routing enabled. it doesn't accept the command "ip routing". Will this be creating a problem for the access points? From the switch , the controller management and AP vlan IP address can be pinged. similarly, from the controller, AP and management vlan interface ip address of the switch can be pinged.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded our controllers to the latest version 7 software, as I read this was one of the requirements to get them to connect. But I am not having any luck getting into a controller. Normally I plug them in to the network, they pop into the controller listed as something like AP5057.a844.xxxx and then I can finish configuring them, but a static IP on them, etc. This is the first of this model AP I have tried to deploy, so I am wondering what is different with these. or what I might be missing in the default config in the WLAN controllers. Niether of which are set to "Master" either.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWe have a 2504 Wireless Controller and it works great!We currently have 6 Access Points (Aironet 1252) connected.We just added the sixth one a few weeks ago and with a properly configured and fully functioning Wireless Controller, it was super easy.Now, I have been assigned to add another Access Point, but at a remote site.The plan is to have up to three or more APs at this remote location and we want them to talk back to the Wireless Controller.We have plenty of licences on our current Wireless Controller.Do do not want to spend the funds for another Wireless Controller and more licenses.
1. How does one manually add a Aironet 1252 to the 2504 Wireless Controller
2. If the AP is on a different subnet than the Wireless Controller, how does one get it registered?
3. The best for last: Can a Aironet 1252 talk to a 2504 Wireless Controller over a WAN link?
So just recently purchased the DIR-825 and DAP-1522. At this point I just want to get the DAP-1522 to work as a wireless access point to my DIR-825. So my wireless laptop would connect wirelessly to the DAP-1522 and the 1522 would go wireless to the router. Pretty basic I guess. I was planning on using the WAP to strengthen the 5 GHz signal to the router but again, at this point, I would be happy to get the 2.4 GHz working.
I've been working on this since last night and got frustrated and went to bed. I woke up fresh and decided to try again and I'm not having making any headway.
DIR-825 is connected to my DSL modem and has no problem accessing the internet. I can connect to either 2.4 or 5.0 directly from my laptop with no problem at all and have access to the internet. Encryption is disabled. It worked with encryption but I turned it off to troubleshoot this AP problem.
It should be simple but I must be doing something wrong. BTW is there a way to scan for network devices from the router or the access point? I tried discovering each device with the wireless setup button on each device but they don't recognize each other so I'm configuring this manually.
So the DAP has access point enabled and 802.11 is running in mixed mode. I've tried different variations but nothing has worked. I've tried 20 mhz and 20-40 auto mhz channels but same problem. Wireless security is off for troubleshooting at the moment.
DHCP server is disabled and I've assigned the DAP an available ip from the router's dhcp range. I can connect to the DAP both wirelessly and hard wired. The problem is that it can't seem to connect to the router. So my laptop can connect to the router and ha internet access. And it can also connect to the DAP but does not have internet access. The ip is showing auto configuration 169.x.x.x when connected to the DAP so I'm not getting an ip. Is the router supposed to assign the ip to my laptop through the DAP? But again, if the DAP can't communicate with the router, then that would explain why I can't get an IP.
I needed the Guest access of wi-fi setup that LinkSysys routers provided. I don't need the router/modem i just want to have wi-fi access point. I'm an advanced user and i can work with manual setup etc.I tried to do a manual setup of the router, i changed the IP address to mask my network and enable wi-fi and worked BUT the guest access option is NOT available unless you use the stupid CISCO connect software.
Now the cisco connect software IS NOT working or complete the setup if you don't connect it through the router and gain Internet access which is IMPOSSIBLE for me to accomplish as my modem is connected to a firewall device and we are using static DSL options with PPPoE and usernameme/password. There is no way i can get cisco connect to load properly as it always "fixes my connection trying to gain Internet access".Is there any solution on manually properly setup this router and take full advantages of it capabilities or should i return it ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a Wism on 6500 chassis with software code 7.2.103.0 Now......... I use to have 7.2.111.3 on the Wism before but for some reason I had to downgrade the code to an older version (some compatibility issues with the NCS)......
Now before all the APs were having 7.2.111.3 version running as soon as I downgraded the controller IOS most of them downgraded the code but a few still did not show up...... so I picked one of them and did a factory reset on the AP and was guessing that it might get the new code from the controller this way but unfortunately since than I have tried a lot of things but no luck. I have switches configured on layer 3..... other APs connected to this switch are working fine,........ when I reset the AP to factory default it doesnot take an IP obviously so I manually define the IP,,, you would find that configuration below too.... but than after a while it trys to locate the controller and could not find it.... where as, as i said other APs on teh same switch works fine......
the only thing i notice is that it does not release the IOS .. it is still having 7.2.111.3.....

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project that will involve 5500 controllers managing 1260 series N rate A/Ps. There may be a requirement for MESH but my previous experience using Motorola 802.11a radios is that random, intermittent radio detections resulted in the MESH network having to keep re-forming resulting in less than 100% availability.
What's peoples experience in the UK is 802.11a outdoors?
Ideally i would prefer to use 2.4GHz and repeater access points for those areas not serviced with data connection but I cant find any info' so far on how whether the 5500 controller is able to manage repeater access points.
I understand that Cisco have at long last provided a facility to separate HTTP web authentication from HTTPS WLC management on WLC code 7.2.x for the new 5500 series WLCs.
My question is does Cisco intend to provide the same much needed functionality on the 4400 series WLCs that are running 7.0.x code? I was looking through the release notes for v7.0.235.3 code and that did not seem to mention this functionality. I know we can get around the problem by purchasing an SSL certificate so that guest users with web authentication do not have to see the same security warning each time they log in but the idea to separate the HTTP web authentication from HTTPS WLC management seems so much simpler.
I am trying to setup a 2504 Wireless Controller with a few AIR-AP1262N-E-K9 Access Points. But i'm having trouble getting the access points to connect to the controller.The controller and AP's are setup at a local network at one of my customers. They are part of a quite large organization and are therefore connected to some of their other divisions in different contries via MPLS. The DHCP and DNS servers are therefore on a different subnet.I have confirmed that the Access Points do get a correct IP from the DHCP server and that i am able to ping from the controller to the AP. When looking at the controller it does not receive any join requests from the AP's. I have setup a console connection to the controller and 1 AP, so i can view debug information.Most guides mention that you can run different LWAPP commands from the CLI on the AP like show lwapp for example. But i am not able to run any of these LWAPP commands on my AP.

I've worked on it and read on it for almost 2 days and I'm stuck. I'm using a Win 7 Pro desktop that is hardwired and a Win 7 Home Premium laptop wireless. Both current on all updates.
My Comcast modem is hooked into a WRT160N that is hardwired to the desktop PC and to a WRT400N which is being used as an access point. Both routers have the latest firmware. Both routers have the same SSID, security and password but use different channels. (2 & 6) Internet works perfect both wired and wireless through both routers.
The homegroup has been set up through the desktop but I've removed and added homegroups on both machines multiple times. My problem doesn't go away. The homegroup works when the laptop is either wired or wireless using the WRT160N. It will not work at all through the WRT400N. I can be in the room with the WRT160N hooked to the homegroup, when I move to the other router so the wireless switches to the WRT400N, it drops the homegroup. The internet stays connected just fine as I move back in forth so the IDs and security has to be correct. Once the laptop drops the homegroup, it can't find it until I go back and connect to the main router.
Both machines have IPv6 addresses, auto discovery is on.
I also have an XP machine hooked to the main router. The desktop can see it but it also is invisible to anything using the WRT400N router. I also made sure all PCs are using the same Network ID with no password.
It seems to me that neither Homegroup or Home Network are passing between the two routers since everything works fine using just one router.
