We're looking at deploying both office extend and also a guest wlan. Both would require a WLC in the DMZ.My question is can one 5508 WLC be both a guest anchor and have office extend APs on it at the same time?
View 2 RepliesI have finally got my office extend AP to connect to my companies 5508 controller by enabling NAT on the management interface and can see all the cooperate SSID's. However when I try to connect to the SSID my client either gets a local IP address from my home router or then cannot get any IP address.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with internal and external clients. When we have the nat ip configured on the controller we cannot connect internal ap's at all. When we take the nat ip out it works fine. We are on code 7.0.220. I have tried the following command <config network ap-discovery nat-ip-only disable> and it did nothing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where a user needs more than one office extend AP in his home. My office extend controller is a 5508 running 7.0.220.0. Are there any issues NATing multiple OE APs to a single address? My initial lab results indicate that each of the AP's associate with the controller and establish a DTLS tunnel. I see the SSIDs get pushed to the AP and then it seems to restart the process never being fully operational. Is there a workaround that will allow me to run mutliple OE APs?

I would prefer to connect the WLC Guest port to an ASA 5510 and the WLC Staff port to an internal 2960S switch. Will this work? I haven't setup a 2500 series controller previously.
How the ACL Ports/Protocols which must be opened (in- and outbound) to enable a communication between a CISCO Office extend AP and a 5508 WCS.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have attached a diagram of the current topology. At present, we have two 5508 connected to our core. We also have a 4402 behind the firewall (DMZ) just purely for guest access. So the staff users connect to the access point which in turns connects to the Staff WLC 1 (if this fails then to Staff WLC2). any guest user connect to the access point which in turn connects to Staff WLC which anchors to Guest WLC which then provides access. Since the guest is behind the DMZ they can only access the internet and not out internal network.
Now we want to office extend our network - we want our users to use 1132 AP at home to access the Infrastructure. is there a way we can do this without disturbing the existing infrastructure. On reading Cisco website, i know the best practice is to use 2 5508 (one behind the firewall and the other anchored to this access the internet network ) i thought since we have a Cisco (dmz) switch (48 port) and only the 4402 (Guest WLC) is connected to it, maybe purchase another 5508 WLC and connect to the 48 port Cisco (dmz) switch. will this work?
I've been asked to create 2 wireless networks for guest access. They are to be used by clients of 2 different companies and they have asked for the website of each company to automatically open as a landing page. e.g.
-WLAN1 - password is companyname1 - landing page = www.companyname1.com
-WLAN2 - password is companyname2 - landing page = www.companyname2.com
Is this possible with our 5508 WLC? I have googled it and can see that you can set a web auth page but I need different landing pages depending on which WLAN is connected to.
Looking to add time of day restrictions to our Guest WLAN that is currently in its pilot phase.
Is there a way to config time of day access to a WLAN ?
We are planning a WLAN upgrade and the security policy is to forward wireless Guest user traffic to the DMZ controllers. We are now considering the Virtual WLAN Controller and all AP's will register with the virtual controllers and we will use Flexconnect for Staff and internal traffic that will switch their traffic onto the local switch.
We wish to forward the guest traffic to the DMZ Guest Anchor controller which will be a 5508 controller. This will also offer Office Extend AP service.I have looked at teh virtual controller docs and not very clear if this deployment model is supported. Below is a diagram of what we wish to deploy and is this a supported deployment model.
I want to setup a webpage for my guest network (no authentication) users. When the client connects to the open guest network and upon opening a browser they would be directed to a survey that I would like them to take, if they don't want to take it they can begin browsing to other sites without issue. How do I do this on a my 5508 WLC?
View 12 Replies View RelatedWhen a guest user first trys to access the "guest" WLAN, they are presented with a "certificate page" before the web athentication page / login is presented. The WLC forces an internal redirect to https://1.1.1.1 causing the certificate page to appear. Can this be bypassed? I am runiing 5508 with 7.0.220.0.
View 12 Replies View RelatedStrange issue that our support staff is seeing on our guest WLAN. I have 2 wlans, 1 is production and authenticates our Domain controllers, this is working fine. The other is a wlan that has restricted access internally, I allow http, https and VPN access out only.
It appears that on the guest wlan, after random amount of time an established VPN connection using Cisco VPN client disconnects. Wireless connectivity doesnt appear to go down, just the vpn connection.
On this guest wlan, I have configured QOS bronze and I read a link where this may be affecting the UDP conversation between VPN client and end point.
We are implementing a new corporate headquarters and have bought a Cisco 5508. I have two connections plugged into the 5508 in ports 1 and port 2. Port 1 is for all internally wireless networks and connects to our core 6500 and use an external DHCP server scopes. Port 2 is for our guest WLAN and connects directly to a public network switch in front of (outside) the firewall. For the guest network, I have setup a vlan on the controller for dhcp and the interface setup to that vlan and dhcp scope built on the controller. how or can I NAT the internally addressing for the guest network to the public IP address on the controller. Essentially I want to drop of guest network traffic outside the firewall and not have to deal with setting up the firewall for any aspect of guest network traffic.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a wlc 5508 and I'd like to setup a network for visitors. They will connect to the WLAN, enter a password and then automatically get redirected to an external website. I understand the wlc 5508 supports this but I'm struggling to find out how to set this up I assume this can be done without having to customise webauth bundles?

I was wondering if a local ssid can be configured on the AP, similar to what can be done with the OEAP600, in order to provide wireless access to the Internet only? On the WLC, on the H_REAP tab, there is a button labeled "Reset Personal SSID"

View 1 Replies View Related1 router 881w with a site-to-site VPN connected to a switch and a wireless which allows internal users to access the VPN via wireless (this is like a backup, if the switch fails, then they can use the wireless). Everything's working fine so far. Now I want to configure a second WLAN for guest but I'm not really sure if this configuration will work:
ROUTER:
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.200
!
ip dhcp pool GuestNetwork

default-router 192.168.100.1
dns-server 8.8.8.8
[code]....
If it's not clear I want that everyone that is connected to the guest WIFI receives an IP address from the range I wrote before and then goes directly to the internet.
Recently i have setup a WLAN with inside and anchor 5508 controllers. Standard setup. However, one issue I have is I wish to extend the length of time between password changes for users connected in on the guest wlan. At the moment, 30 is max. I dont have an option on the controller to creat accounts for any longer than that. How to I extend it to 90 days or 120 days?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a strange problem. We have a WCS v.7.0.172 that controls our two WLC v.7.0.116 and we have also two "Anchor Controller" WLC
v.7.0.116 for Guest Access.
We use the LAP1142N and every AP has two SSID's. One for internal data traffic and the other one for the guests.
Now the problem is, that even if we have internal and external user on the same AP, the guest users gets disconnected after a few time. Sometimes after 20 minutes, sometimes after 90 minutes...but the user is still working. It's really irregular.
I handle the network at a small business; it's not my primary job but one that I am in charge of. My boss owns a house next to the office that he use as a general meeting area and as a guest house for friends and family. The house is close enough to the office that our office WLAN covers most of the house.
Our office router (Cisco Linksys EA4500) supports a "guest" network, which is okay for people that pop in for meetings, but not so great for family and friends that may stay for several days or a week. The guest profile times out, and they have to reconnect. I have no way to set the timeout period for the guest profile. But mainly, there are several "dead spots" in the wifi coverage in the house.
There is an Ethernet cable running from the office to the house that is not currently being used. Optimally, I would just use the spare Ethernet cable to setup a seperate WLAN in the house. But I don't know how to do it so that the guests cannot get access to our office network.
I would like to leave the office network hardware and configuration unchanged if at all possible. I am open to purchasing something, and even flashing it with DD-WRT if needed. I just need a configuration that keeps the office network private.
I recently setup a 2504 WLC that has two primary WLANs (internal and guest) which get their IP addresses from a central DHCP server using the local router's broadcast forwarding. Things seem to be working well for the internal wlan, but clients on the guest wlan don't seem to be getting IP addresses. If I give the client a static IP they are able to communicate across the wlan okay.
It is worth noting that I am using LAG between the controller and router and this guest wlan is really just a regular wlan (with PSK) that has an access-list applied to force it to the internet only. The access-list should be allowing dhcp requests through, but in any case, I removed the access-list and it made no difference.
Here is a debug client for a machine connected to the guest vlan (vlan 33). The internal wlan is on the 10.10.10.0/24 network (same as wired and same that the AP's are connected to) and the guest wlan is 10.33.0.0/16. I don't understand why I am seeing the dhcp request come from the internal vlan/ wlan first and it gets an IP address on this network. I then see a request on the guest wlan/vlan at which point it appears to get a valid IP address on the guest network (10.33.0.0), but the client never sees this. [code]
I have a strange situation on my guest wireless LAN.The guest WLAN is configured as an SSID "GUEST" on Cisco 1142 lightweight APs, with WiSM controller and WLC software version 7.0.230.0.
For simple Internet access using this SSID, we have a web policy, which causes a web page to be displayed when the user opens his/her browser, and on this web page, the user must click on an "Accept" button in order to accept the terms and conditions of use. Once the user accepts, the browser will then go to the web site which the user wishes to open. When using this mode of access, everything is fine.
However, there is also a pre-authentication ACL, which allows certain types of VPN traffic to reach the Internet without the user being required to accept terms and conditions. The ACL allows ESP, IKE (UDP/500), IKE over UDP (UDP/4500), DNS, HTTPS/SSL (TCP/443), DHCP client and server (UDP/67,68).The pre-auth ACL actually works as intended; and the ACL traffic is NOT allowed when the ACL is removed. This is exactly as it should be.
However, when using, for example, a VPN client such as the Cisco VPN client, or the Cisco AnyConnect client, via this guest SSID without user acceptance, the WLAN regularly and predictably stops passing traffic. This is 100% repeatable and predictable; it happens every 300 seconds, or possibly slightly longer. I have only used my PC clock to time it so the timing isn't all that accurate but I'm sure it's within a few seconds.
Given that the problem happens at the same time interval and is constant, I guessed there must be some configuration item which needs to be altered, but I've looked extensively at the controller GUI (we actually use WCS here) and I can't see anything that looks even remotely related to this.
My customer has multiple sites, each with a 2504 WLC.A data center with a 5508 in the DMZ acting as Anchor for the remote sites.ACS 5.x and NCS Prime.All guest users will egress to the internet via a Vlan in the DMZ.Authentication is currently web-auth on the Anchor, but will move to NCS once that is fully deployed.
Is it possible to put a printer in each site for Guest WLAN users to use?
I tried to extend the Range of the Guest WLAN of the E2000 with several different Access Points vom TP-Link. (Last try: TL-WA901D) The Access Point recognises the WLAN and sometimes it has a connection for a short time. But then the whole WLAN is breaking down, sometimes the Router E200 hangs up, also with the LAN connections. The E200 is connected to a sky-DSL Router and works fine when no additional access point is connected. In the web-Interface of the E2000 I cant setup any specific Guest-WLAN settings.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI presently have a fiber internet connection to my office with about 40 wireless users on a single AP. The connection keeps dropping. Probably due to too many users on a single AP?
1. My question is similar to aniketchitale's, can get another wireless router, create a different SSID (eg. router1 and router2), but both wireless routers still connected to the same fiber connection. In other words, I would like to segregate the first 20 users to router 1 and the next 20 users to router 2.
2. By having 2 wireless routers each with their unique SSID, will all the users still be able to access to the same printer in the office?
