Cisco Wireless :: 5508-HA / SSID Not Broadcasting After Reload
Jan 28, 2013
I have Build a 5508-HA Cluster (7.4.100.0) , hat to reboot this cluster due to Licens install.After the reboot atleast one of the SSIDs was not broadcasting anymore, even the checkbox was checked.
What did I do:
Installed the Licenses @ Freiday 12:00
@17:15 reload active WLC, wait till controller is up again (a few minutes pingable)
@17:25 force failover to first controller.
check a few SSIDs but not all, those who where check are ok.
@monday 07:00 clients complaining not seeing the SSID (some where connected)

Several days ago I had to change my router. The new one works OK except that I can't get the PC to link into the wireless while the SSID isn't being broadcast. Having read that it is a good idea not to broadcast the SSID for security reasons, I thought I would try it!
I am running Windows 7 home Premium and the router is a Draytek Vigor 2710 using WPA2. I can see the network when the SSID isn't being broadcast, it just refuses to connect to it. As soon as I switch on the SSID it connects like a dream.

We've had a Cisco 881W set up in one of our remote offices for a while and the wireless has been fine. Yesterday I got a call saying that the wireless was no longer working.
I went over and it's true, the SSID is no longer broadcasting. I reloaded the router but it's still the same. I tried to get access to the embedded ap and I get this
RTR#service-module wlan-ap 0 session
% telnet connections not permitted from this terminal
RTR#
Now I've not changed anything on the configuration since it went in and it was working before. Has the embedded ap died? The embedded ap is still showing as a component in show hardware.

I configured the device manually, not even using Express Setup or Express Security setup so... it is possible I missed something.Anyway, here's the problem. Although the SSID is configured as "AP1", this SSID does not appear among available networks on the client laptop.
The connection, configured in Group Policy for the client, should actually happen automatically, based on the SSID, but since the SSID is not being broadcast, that connection is failing as well.
The Aironet does appear among the available networks as "Other Network" and if I click on "connect" I am prompted to enter the SSID -> AP1
Although, unexplicably, an error message displays (Windows cannot connect to the network, or something to that effect), the laptop *does* connect once I close that window. Network access is complete and functional - I can ping other hosts, etc..
I'd post screenshots but not knowing what setting is missing or incorrect, I'd have to print dozens. So here's the sh run output of the AP obtained via telnet (just below). This is a test network so all information is "real" (nothing changed for privacy):
Note: I even changed the hostname to "AP1" (it's still LAB1 below) but that did not resolve the problem (did not think it would).
LAB1#sh runBuilding configuration...

I am running the demo of the virtual WLC and have one 1142N AP connected to it. I have two WLAN's created and they are configured to broadcast their SSID's. However, when I look on my laptop or Android, I cannot see either of them. I checked the AP to see if it has the WLAN's on it and it does. I did this by going to Wireless -> Access Points -> Radios -> 802.11a/n AP Interfaces -> Details. Under Station Configuration Parameters -> Number of WLAN's, there are 2, which is correct. I had this demo running on VMware workstation and had some bridging issues with it and thought that was the issue. I now have it running on ESX5.1 and am still having this issue. I am at a loss as to what is causing this problem.

SSID is not being broadcast from an e3200. I split the wireless networks and assigned a new name for the 5Ghz band. The broadcast SSID button is enabled for both networks. (2.4 & 5). The idea is I want to stream video on the 5Ghz band. Nothing seems to see it though, TV other PCs, etc.

I changed the 5 GHZ SSID name using Cisco connect on my E3200 router as was expecting to see 2 available wireless networks on my laptop, but it seems that only the 2.4 GHZ is still broadcasting as it was before. When I connect to it with my laptop it shows it connecting with 802.11n, so I would think that my laptop would see the 5 GHz SSID if it was broadcasting. I am trying to take advantage of the dual band feature and connect the 5 GHZ to my blue ray player for real time video streaming.

So I have this E1500 Router that worked fine for the past 5 months, then out of the blue, the wireless feature ceased to function... laptops were not being able to connect to the wireless, the router was also not broadcasting the SSID.So, here's what I have done so far:
1. Check the router software settings, all was good there.
2. Did a "hardware reset" pushing the red button. (now this solved the problem, BUT only for a day, when power is turned off for the night, the next day it's non-functional again. The cycle can be repeated daily, but its a pain to reset and set it up everyday)
3. Updated the Firmware, and this somehow solved the problem for 3 Days... and now it's back to non-functional, again out of the Blue.
Is the Router just busted and it's not remembering the settings?

We recently received our WLC 5508, AP and switches to setup our WLAN but I'm having trouble getting it all to work. It's been months since the course and I'm having trouble troubleshooting the problem.I've setup the WLC, AP and switches and I have network connectivity to all. The WLC see's my AP and I have all my WLAN and interfaces configured (SSID broadcast is enabled) but I still don't see any SSID coming from the AP.

i have 2 DIR 615 routers which both stop broadcasting SSIDS. Ive had only one connected at a time, thinking it was a bad router, but both behave the same way. Is this a known issue or something ? What happens is, after some time (it varies..sometimes 3hours..sometimes longer), the router stops broadcasting the ssid, and I can no longer connect any of my wireless devices to it. The hardwired connection does work (I have a server connected to it, and it appears to work).The only settings I have changed is my SSID name, and wpa2 password. I've set up one virtual server to port forward requests to the server. Thats it. Nothing complex or anything. And both routers behave the exact same way, meaing they stop broadcasting the SSID.

I have a Cisco 5500 Series Wireless LAN Controller Model No. AIR-CT5508-K9
I have HREAP groups in Boulder, CO, Boston, MA, and Amsterdam, NL.
The LWAPPS act perfectly in the states (all AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9). The unit AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 in Amsterdam will not allow any clients to attach unless the SSID broadcasting. I don't want to broadcast SSID. I have used iPhones and Intel 5100 series wlan cards. I don't get it. I have been working with Cisco for weeks. We have even replaced the LWAPP.
I am getting this from the ASA in Amsterdam:
6 Aug 03 2011 20:20:22 PMTU-D packet 1485 bytes greater than effective mtu 1426, dest_addr=wificontroller, src_addr=LWAP, prot=UDP
I don't understand because the mtu on the outside interface is 1500 I guess "effective" is the key word which I missing here.

I have a "standart" settings of Cisco Aironet 1240AG with ENABLED broadcasting SSID, encryption is WPA2 (AES). I can see the wifi network (ssid) with windows system but with MAC OS 10.5 and MAC OS 10.7 also with iPhone the wifi is acting like hidden. But If I manually enter the wifi ssid and set the proper encryption the connection work normally. Also I have a separete windows partition on one MACbook and this windows 7 have no problem to see the SSID of my network. But If i Boot to the MAC OS the WIFI is "hidden" until the manually connection. (same problem on iphone, manuall connect with manually entered SSID is working well).

We have disabled the WebAuth SecureWeb on our 5508 WLCs so Guest users can access the guest splash page without the certifiacate error. The controllers are currently running 7.3.112.0. Everything works fine with the WebAuth SecureWeb enabled, but once we disable the guest users are not redirecting to the splash page anymore. I remember having to reload the controller in the past to disable HTTPS completely, but is this still the case? I don't see any documentation supporting the need to reload.

I have a linksys WRT54G that has been bugging out a lot. It stops broadcasting the SSID briefly and won't start again until it reboots. Annoying enough problem on it's own, but not my primary concern.My concern now is that when I tried to upgrade the firmware to the latest version (which I presume was causing the problems) the router now is essentiallyunresponsive. The upgrade was successful according to the control panel site, but ever since the required reboot as part of the upgrade process the router hasn't worked properly. 1) The power light blinks constantly rather than staying lit.2) When I plug directly into it sometimes I get access to local networks and other times I don't (limited connectivity). But I never get access to the internet if it's plugged into it as well.3) When I try to go to the control panel site (through the 192.168.1.1) the site wont loadGranted this router is old, but it was working fine other than dropping the broadcast every once in a while. It did need a firmware upgrade, but the upgrade seems to have been a bad choice

We had a pen test completed on our wireless network recently and two elements that came out of it that surprised me were the following:The guest wireless portal is using SSLv2 and they recommend that we use SSLv3. I haven't been able to see anywhere if this can be changed or checked for current version. Is it possible to upgrade?The second item was with regards the broadcasting of the SSID. When the SSID is broadcasting the administrative name of the LAP's is visible using wireshark. Is there a setting to hide these within the controller or is the only option to rename all the LAP's to something simple like AP1?

Is it possible to assign a single ssid to multiple interface groups by assigning the ssid to multiple AP groups?
I have buildings geographically dispersed that are configured with multiple vlans in interface groups so that I can maintain an addressing scheme of dhcp assigned addresses per building. Each building is also further grouped as AP groups. I'd like to know if by assigning the same wlan ssid to each of the AP groups, will I maintain addressing integrity for each building? I'm thinking it will work.
Do the buildings have to be outside AP range of each other to avoid problems?

7.2.110.0 code

I have an issue where I have an AP in one room and another in another.When I walk from one room to the other, I lose signal but manages to see the SSID and join.But, I cannot seem to surf the Internet, I have to manually disconnect and reconnect. Normal wireless routers I reconnect seamlessly without any manual disconnect & reconnect.Currently using cisco 5508 and ap2600.

we have two offices in same city at different location however we are planning to bring both the office at same location.Now lets say site A has controller 5508 configured with 24 AP's with 10.10.10.x subnet for internal SSID and Site B which is shifting to Site A campus has different subnet ( 10.10.20.x ) for same SSID.Site B has no controller since they had connection with H-reap and they were using different subnet for internal SSID ( 10.10.20.x ) .....Now i need to add their AP's in Site A controller which will be extended wireless LAN however we would like to keep same subnet ( 10.10.20.x ) what Site B has for wireless clients which is really confusing me ....I have already client subnet for site A with 10.10.10.x /24 subnet and nearly 200 users are already using this wireless client subnet.... How do i add their ( Site B ) subnet / 10.10.20.x with same SSID configured which is globally only one SSID ?
limitations :I can not create new SSID for site B since same will be broadcasting even in Site A AP's ?Is this possible to map one more subnet of site B to existing SSID with already different subnet ( 10.10.10.x ) ?

I have an issue where I cannot get clients to change SSID. I have two SSID, one WPA2 secure, one open guest. The secure is locally switched via Flexconnect and the guest is centrally switched. Both of them work. I have been able to test this and both work as intended. The problem is that once you connect to one of them, either secure or guest, you cannot then change to the other. The only way to change is to delete the dhcp entry from the scope and then do it.
Fast SSID change is enabled. I also have debug client output from when the client fails when you try to switch which I will include below. I also pulled some wireshark captures and those show me that the DHCP ack packets are trying to give the client the ip address from the incorrect/previous scope. So basically it's like FAST SSID change is not working and the client is never being disassociated properly??
I am totally stumped and even though the client will most likely not be switched between SSID that often I would still like to know the solution.

I have Internal DHCP Server configured on the Cisco WLC 5508 and all is working fine. DHCP Range is 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.245. Now I created another SSID but I want clients connecting to this SSID get specific IP's or from a specific range. WLC has no option to bind a DHCP pool to a specific IP so what I did I checked the option to "Override DHCP" and added the IP of my firewall WLC is connected to and setup a DHCP Pool on that firewall as 192.168.1.89 to 192.168.1.94 (192.168.1.88/29).
Client can connect to the second SSID but can't grab and IP address, what am I missing ?

I am setting up a Cisco 5508 wireless controller and was looking for some feedback or assistance. Basically I already have my guest SSID configured and functioning. Created an interface group containing my vlans and applied the created ACL "Guest Policy - internet only", which is also working.I want to setup a second SSID called "staffstudent" and use RADIUS for authentication. I have already created two separate network policies on the radius server: staff and student. Each only allows certain user groups. I want to be able to differentiate on the controller side which profile they are logging in on and then apply the correct ACL. I have two currently configured: one for staff and one for student. It appears to me that since you have to apply the ACL at the interface level I cannot use both since my interface is accepting both staff and students. Is there a way I can filter them using RADIUS so that when they login RADIUS can return a "student" value and then apply the correct ACL? Same for staff?

setup a WEP SSID on my 5508 controllers. THat being said, I have multiple sites with extremely old scan guns that only do 104bit wep. I plan on locally switching this SSID and using static WEP 104bit key with MAC authentication, and then ACLing to limit my inherent security issues/exposure once someone compromises my WEP key.

We created the management interface, an internal DHCP scope in same subnet, and Two SSID tied to the same management interface:
- when we connect to the first SSID we have and IP address
- but when we connect to the secone SSID: impossible to get an ip address - auth and association are OK

I have a wireless lan controller (5508) broadcasting 2 SSID's, once is a secure vlan grabbing an ip address from a local dhcp server and getting access to the internal network, and the other ssid is for a guest vlan where the dhcp server is in a remote site and internet access is off a circuit in our data center which is accessed over a wan. The secure ssid's vlan is defined on the local switch, but the guest vlan is not defined on the local switch.the ap's in the respective sites are trunked to the core switch and the switchport config is : [code] it's trunked b/c we have both vlans going across this physical connection.I would like get the guest vlan a wired connection, ie. off a switchhub, but not sure how to do that as this guest vlan is not defined on our local network.

I have two WLC-5508 for 50 AP's deployed. One is primary controller & other is secondary.Recently noticed an unknown "authorization failed, no sufficient privileges for user" message poping up while making configuration changes in WLC. Specificly when trying to create an new SSID. WLC Authentication is local. This message poped up earlier once or twice but it didnt prevent from making changes that time.

I have a 5508 WLC controller at the HQ with the employee ssid ,the dhcp scope on the ssid is 10.120.0.0/16 network.
However,I want this same ssid to be brodcasted to a remote site using HREAP access point but with different dhcp scope 10.102.0.0/16.
I have tried creating another interface for the remote site with a different dhcp scope(10.102.0.0) but the controller wont allow me create another wlan with same ssid that existed before to apply the new interface created for.

My customer wants to have mapping of WLAN SSID with different authentication protocol as show below .
1: EMP-M for Mschap
2: EMP-G for Peap GTC
3: EMP-T for TLS
For example EMP-M SSID users should be connected with only PEAP(MSCHAPv2) and not on other methods like PEAP-GTC/EAP-TLS .
customer is currently having WLC 5508 and using ISE for AAA . Any tip how we can do the above requirement through WLC .
