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.
View 8 RepliesI have more different client networks with one ssid, when a client is in another network gets an ip it still from the old network.
How can I to the wlc change this so he gets one right address. I have a Cisco WLC 5508 and 1262/1252 Access point
Currently have a 5508 in the lab and testing 4 AP's with it. Eventually there will be 18 AP's spread thru out different floor in our building.
So far access is working fine using WPA, 802.1x and the client configured to use windows logon credentials..But it doesn't seem to automatically transfer between access points.
I am having some troubles with client roaming on a 5508 controller running firmware 7.3.101.0. As soon as a client roams outside the range of an AP they lose data flow and do not seem to transition to another AP for about 1 minute.This is a small network with 6 x AIRCAP3502E-N-K9 AP's (running in H-REAP mode) on the same floor and clients are a mix of HP notebooks, Mac Books, iMacs, iPads and iPhones. There are several seperate SSID's setup and the problem occurs on all. All are WPA2/AES with either a PSK or 802.1X. Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios are enabled with auto power and channel selection.
I have tried changing the roaming settings from default and also playing with the AP power settings to no avail.Is this normal behaviour or is there something I can do to improve the reconnection speed?
I have two 5508, no anchor, only one SSID with internal web authentication using radius server.Under "Configuring Mobility Groups", Cisco guide says: "If a client roams in web authentication state, the client is considered as a new client on another controller instead of considering it as a mobile client".
I understand that if a client that has already autheticated via web roams between two LAPs that are associated with different WLCs, it has to reathenticate.
I am running a WiFi network built on Cisco 1262 APs and Cisco WLC 5508. My APs broadcast two SSIDs, let call them "WiFi_Pay" and "WiFi_Free". I have a problem: when users migrate from "WiFi_Pay" to "WiFi_Free" (not moving, connecting to the same AP), the connection fails. If they try for second time, it is always successful. My task is to ensure that such migrations run smoothly and be successful from the first attempt.

The personnel works woth thin clients url... The one with the double antenna.This client has a Broadcom BCM943228HM4L 802.11 a.b.g.n (2x2) adapter.
On the client they have a connected RDP session to a server with the documents.Now they are walking from one patient to another patient. The problem they experience is a very late roaming. At the beginning of the corridor, the client will associate, but is going to roam at the end of the corridor. We installed 4 AP's on each corridor, so they signal is very well, maybe to well?
I disabled client loadbalancing and band select.The lowest data rates are also disabled. Mandatory begins at 12 Mbps. I can increase this to 18 Mbps.These clients work with PSK, with both methods (WPA-TKIP and WPA2-AES) enabled.We did this because of many old and new clients.
The customer tried to find out the problem with a smartphone, same issue. Very late roaming.I can upgrade the WLC to 7.0.240.0. The only problem I have is the WCS. When upgrading to 7.2 and higher I need to have NCS.
I have a device manufacture there are requesting the following change on a customer's WLC 5508.
-config advanced eap identity-request-timeout 60
-config advanced eap request-timeout 60
I have studied many guides but I can't find out if there is a down-side to setting the timeout this high.Could it result in slow roaming or re-authentication if there is a connection error? The customer have large areas with high client density and some outdoor areas with low client density.
Is there any additional configuration to be done on the 5508 WLC for Wireless Laptop / Voice Roaming? I tested with Wireless IP Phone and found some blankness in voice , whereas i have other access point nearby , which wasn't switching over easily .
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out if it is possible to configure in one site a wireless setup that goes like this:
One WLC (5508), multiple LAP's in H-REAP mode.
AP's will be splitted in multiple VLAN's belonging to different departments but with the same SSID.Each VLAN will have it's own DHCP scope. All AP's are located in the same site and I need to know if it is possible to roam between AP's that belong to different departments?
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?

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?

On a wlc 5508-7.0.116, can I set up 2 ssids that map to one wlan/vlan/subnet. I thought you could but I don't have the means to test without breaking production.
My goal is this:

But all clients on the same ip subnet
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.

on a 5508 WLC can we create new SSID for I PAD / IPHONE Users without having ISE, only I phone / I PAD are allowed to be authenticated rest all should be denied. IS this possible?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 .
I have a 4400 and a 5508 WLC in the same location We want to be able to roam between ap joined to both the 4400 and the 5508 using only one ssid
Do I only need to create a mobility group and add both WLC then create only one WLAN on one of the controllers and it will be shared across bot WLC.
I need raise a especial configuration to 34 APs LWAPP associated to WLC 5508 with IOS 7.0.220
This is the Scenario:We have 34 APs LWAPP with 2 SSID (Corporative & Guest), with 2 DHCP different. The Guest SSID receive IP to DHCP from WLC while SSID Corporative receive IP from Microsoft DHCP. The AP On Site are Local and the Foreign AP are configured like H-REAP (H-REAP Local switching and Learn Client IP Address are marked)
Here is the thing, I need configure a new WLAN (Pruebas) for add to 34 APs (Local and Foreign) but this new WLAN must be receive IP from a New Microsoft DHCP
Firstly I configured a new Physical interface and linked to New WLAN (Pruebas) however i don't know how configure the AP and the DHCP because I want that the AP deliver IP addresses depending the Locality.The last because the SuperScope from DHCP is divided in various subnets and because the IP from the AP will be in another VLAN
I'm using a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller 5508, 14x Access Points 1041 and 6x Access Points 1031 in combination with a NCS 1.0.
Is it possible to broadcast SSID'S only on defined Access Points, e.g. AP 1-3,7-10,18? If yes, what have I to do?
i have two 5508 ver 7.3.0, one is the primary and one is the guest controller. mobility is up and running. i have an exising guest ssid working with wpa2-psk and web authentication and its working fine but i require a second guest ssid that only uses a wpa2-psk for ipod/ipads as i cant use passive client on primary controller. i presently have the one vlan range and dhcp setup on the guest controller to give addressing to either ssid. i know you can have multiple ssid setup on the guest controller but in other sites i have only had one guest connection comming from the primary controller, just a primary controller on each sites was only creating one link to the same guest controler.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anyone come accross a problem whereby an SSID becomes unavailable when selecting a Radio Policy of '802.11g Only'? The SSID is configured identically accross multiple controllers, but only works on the WISM's. The same WLAN profile on a 5508 is unavailable unless I select a Radio Policy of 'All'.
All controllers (WISM's and 5508's are running 6.0.188.0)The WLAN profile is using MAC Filtering[WPA2][Auth(802.1X)] as the security policy.
We have a network of multiple WLCs: 5508, 4402, WISMs in two C6509 all running version 7 software. We have about a dozen SSIDs and we need to provide DHCP to the one public SSID (which like the other SSIDs span across all controllers) and to do so we thought of using a spare router, Linux workstation or DHCP server on the controllers. We are not sure if using the controllers is an option since we have multiple controllers. Is there a way to setup DHCP on a WLC and tell the others to use that WLC for DHCP for the one SSID?
