Cisco Wireless :: 5508 - Unable To Add New WLC To Mobility Group
Nov 30, 2011
I recently add a second CT5508 to the network, but when I tried to add the first 5508 to the mobilty group I received a message like this:
"error in creating member"
I've tried different mobility names, via GUI, via CLI and always the same error.
I've verified twice or more than twice connectivity issues or any error on the entering the MAC and IP of the controllers, everything is fine.
I'm using version 7.0.116.0

I have to WLC's a 4402 and 5508 in a mobilty group. they are both running 7.0.116.0. They are configured to use Web Authentication. We are having complaints that Users are having to re-authenticate when moving around the office. My theory is they are moving from one WLC to the other and then requiring to re-authenticate.

for some reason our wlan-controllers were build up to be standalone instead of beeing one mobility-group. I would like to change this in order to use all features of HA.
let me describe our scenario: two WLCs 5508 running SW ver. 6
- same subnet
- both are running in master controller mode
- different hostnames, ip-addresses, etc
- all settings for WLANs and AP-groups (exept the APs themselves in these groups) are the same
- in total at this moment we are running around 100 LAPs configured one half on WLC#1, the other half on WLC#2
I don't know exactly why, but when that setting was installed, someone already configuredHA for each accesspoint... e.g.:
- AP#1 primary WLC#1, secondary WLC#2
- AP#2 primary WLC#2, secondary WLC#1 but without WLC#2 knowing the configuration for AP#1 it makes no sense, correct?
so my question is: how should I do the migration in the best way?
is it easy as:
- disabling master controller mode on WLC#2
- configuring both WLCs into one mobility group
--> WLCs are negotiating their configurations for the APs

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 am setting up officeexten. I have placed the officeextend wlc in the dmz with an mgmt ip of 192.168.10.2. in the process of anchoring this to the internal wlc. Also the ip on the firewall for this interface is 192.168.10.1
1. does the mobility group need to match the same on the internal wlc ?
2. Now do i need a NAT transnational on the firewall for the external WAN ip (AP primed address say 66.10.10.10) to NAT back to 192.168.10.2 ?
3. The 5508 WLC is running on ver6.0.199.4 (license level base) - will this support office extend?

It seems the 7.3.101 version Mobility group peer cannot up,: refer to the attach,
Peer 1: version: 7.3.101
Peer 2: version 7.0.98
Peer3: version 7.2.103
Today we got new two WLC for Anchor use, and config the mobility group, but it's failed and cannot up, the ping is ok.

I read the configuration guide about the 7.3 release. And I figured out that you will need a hash key for establishing a mobility group relation between a controller and a virtual controller. The 7.3 release for the 5500 series works fine for me.But the latest release 7.0.235.0 for the wireless lan controller series 4400 does not have a functionality to add a hash key while creating a new mobility group member.The command "config mobility group member hash" is totally missing. How to establish a mobility group between a 4400 controller and a virtual then ?

I have a customer buys 12 x WISM and build up a mobility, when I add the final WLC to mobility, it prompts that there mobility group has reached the max of mobility member, but the total member is 23, according the configuration guide, it should be allow to 24 member, do I hit some bug? My using version is 7.0.98.0.

I have a Question i am testing mobility group with Failover for redundend connection between 2 Cisco 5500 Wlc.On both the controllers i got the mobility working And both the controllers have the same version.And configuration. But when i unplug the main controller the access-Points don't convers to the second one .The just keep on creaming can't find the main controllerAlso with this thus the second wlc need to have the same.Interface ip address like management.

1) Is it possible for 2 WLCs installed in seperate data centres with L3 seperation to be joined in a mobility group? We will have aps in the branch offices split between controllers so we want to make sure roaming work ok. Also all guest access should be anchored to data centre 2.
2) in flexconnect local switching mode, do I need to create flexconnect groups if I'm only using radius servers in the data centre with no requirement to use local radius as a backup?

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.

After upgrading my 5508s to 7.2.110.0, they are reporting mobility data path errors to one of my WiSMs running 7.0.235.0.
I get these messages on the 5508s reporting that it can't send a ping to the affected WiSM:
*ethoipSocketTask: Aug 08 21:15:41.175: %ETHOIP-3-PKT_RECV_ERROR: ethoip.c:341 ethoipSocketTask: ethoipRecvPkt returned error
*ethoipSocketTask: Aug 08 21:15:41.175: %ETHOIP-3-PING_RESPONSE_TX_FAILED: ethoip_ping.c:312 Failed to tx a ping response to <ip address>, rc=5
But maybe there is another clue because I also see in the same log these errors referencing the same WiSM:
*bcastReceiveTask: Aug 08 21:15:45.310: %LOG-1-Q_IND: mm_dir.c:1969 Failed to recreate the SSH Rule for <ip address>.
*mmSSHPeerRegister: Aug 08 21:15:44.829: %MM-1-SSHRULE_CREATE_FAILED: mm_dir.c:1969 Failed to recreate the SSH Rule for <ip address>.
Why is the controller trying to SSH to another controller? Was some SSH related feature added to 7.2 that has been accidentally enabled?

I have 2 5508 controllers in a mobility group. Any good way to keep the configuration between the 2 controllers synched up?
I thought about copying the config from my primary controller to the secondary controller, but I would think there is a more elegant way to make this happen.

How do Mobility Groups work with internal DHCP scopes on a WLC 5508?We have a WLC 5508 with two internal DHCP scopes which redirect to captive portals for authentication. I am looking at putting in a second WLC in a mobility group setup to provide some WLC redundancy. The LWAPs will be setup so that every second AP is on the has the second WLC as its primary controller. If the primary WLC fails we want the secondary to be able to take over and issue IP's from the internal scope. How do you set this up with a Mobility group so the second WLC does not act as a rouge DHCP server while the primary WLC is still active?

We are in a warehouse type setting and have data centers on each side of warehouse with 5508 WLC's in each data center. Each side is on its own subnet with routing in between and a different set of SSID's for each set of WLC’s. Are goal is to have the ability to failover in the event that if one data center goes down AP’s will move to the controllers in the other DC and the clients will still be able to operate.
Our thought was to implement mobility groups between the controllers. While I saw documentation on setting this up when the controllers are on the same vlan, I didnt see any setup config when controllers are in different vlans. So I am wondering if mobility groups are even an option for what we want to accomplish. For the most part clients stay on their respected sides of the warehouse and so we are not necessarily needing roaming for clients between controllers in DC1 and DC2. But that does raise another question in that we do have a planned voice wlan that we would like to have the ability to roam between each side of the warehouse. But we have seen ip issues with this. In the past we have had both SSID's setup on each side and ran to issues with clients not renewing their IP address when moving to the controllers on the different subnets.
Can we setup mobility groups between controllers on different vlans/subnets? For failover purposes will mobility groups assist in our setup with 2 DC’s and different subnets/vlans? If the answer is yes we can setup mobility groups between different subnets, is there a way to setup the SSID's on all controllers and have the ability for clients to roam and renew their IP’s when moving to a different controller on a different subnet?

I have an AP group on a Cisco 5508 WLAN controller. Currently, it is populated with 13 Cisco 1142 lightweight access points. When I try to add a Cisco 3602i access point to the group, I get the following error in NCS: Error: OfficeExtend requires primary, secondary, or tertiary controller management IP to be set.I am using DNS to allow my AP's to find the controller and they work just fine. Is there a reason I can't add the 3600 series AP's to the AP group?

I'm looking for some input on RRM. I personally have NOT used it in a LONG TIME, since probably the 4.0 days and then very shortly due to massive issues it was causing and admittedly, in part due to my ignorance at the time. So, every since that point, I have always set all my channels and power manually but now feel I am getting to some points where RRM may be required / beneficial. So, I've invested some time and have begun researching and trying to get the ends and outs on it but I'm forseeing a potential issue in myworld anyways and am hoping for some clarification. Lets take the below example:
-WLC5508a and b - (2 100ap license controllers) - these hold the majority of the AP's for the main hospital.Lets say, 140AP's.
-WLC5508c and d - (1 100ap and 1 50ap licensed controllers) - These tend to hold our smaller sites and and buildings, not all connected and some a few miles from each other
-WLC4402a and b - (failover ready)
So, with RRM, I can set setting it up on the 5508A/B with out issue as this is one big large building. However,what about C and D? I suppose I can make them a separate RF Group, but how would RRM respond when it has16 AP's in Building X and then 3 AP's in Building Y 30 AP's in Building Z and sporadic buildings with 1's and 2's? Everything I've read so far, leads me to believe if these devices are separated it probably won't be an issue, however, I just don't want something causing a change in Building Z and Building X be affected because RRM decided it would try to fix it. My point is, I can't afford to have a separate RF Group (meaning separate controllers) for every location.

I have a network setup as live-ssid. It is using the Interface for VLAN 14. All APs under the default-group AP Group obviously allows clients to DHCP an address from VLAN 14. This is working fine.
I created a new AP Group called 3rd Floor. This has the live-ssid setup, but instead of using the Interface for VLAN 14 it is setup for the Interface for VLAN 50. I have all the APs on this floor moved to the 3rd Floor AP Group.
The problem is that 95% of the clients on 3rd Floor are still picking up DHCP addresses from VLAN 14. I checked and all the clients are connected to the APs on the 3rd Floor. Only 4 Clients are getting an address from VLAN 50.
I'm not sure if something is configured wrong or not since some devices pick up the new VLAN and the rest don't. I've manually reboot the APs on the 3rd floor to see if that would fix it.

I have a 5508 WLC connected to 2950 Switch and the LAP 1262 connected to the same default VLAN. My AP's are able to join the controller since they are in the same broadcast domain but They are NOT able to download the image from WLC. When I am looking at the wireless TAB of WLC.. it says... Downloading Image.
what all needs to be done to make UP the APs. Also, Following is the error i am seeing at the AP.

I had configured a Cisco 5508 series WLC. The APs used are Cisco 3502 LAP. The APs are configured to use DHCP for this ip addresses.
We had configured the DHCP server on the 2 Windows AD server previously and the APs were not able to get an IP address when the WLC was rebooted. To isolate the cause, we configured the DHCP server on a cisco 6500 switch. When we reboot the WLC, most of the APs are not able to grab an IP address. We had to remove and reconfigure the DHCP pool on the cisco 6500 for the APs to capture the IP addresses.
My colleague had feedback that they gotten a message that the DHCP pool had been used up. We tried to do a "show ip DHCP pool" but the switch did not recognise the command. IOS version used is Version 12.2(50r)SYS2.
We had a problem with the wireless client getting ip addresses from the windows DHCP server previously but problem was resolved after we disabled the DHCP proxy on the WLC.
What we are curious is why was the DHCP pool fully used on the Cisco switch and how could we check the number of addresses used other than running "show ip dhcp binding" and doing a count of the IP addresses?
Also why did we have to disable the DHCP proxy on the cisco WLC for the wireless clients to be able to get an IP address from the windows DHCP server?
We seem to be facing a number of problems with the DHCP functions for the wireless setup.

I have a 5508 at a remote site and a 5508 at my main campus. I was doing some work on the remote site's controller, so I changed option 43 on our DNS/DHCP system, then applied an LWAPP template from NCS to the AP's to migrate them to the controller at my main campus (so users could still utilize the wireless at the remote site). They all moved over to the temporary (main campus) controller without an issue.
When I was ready to migrate the AP's back to their local (remote site) controller - I changed option 43 for each sub net that contained AP's @ the remote site to point back to their local controller's management IP address, pushed an LWAPP template again (pointing it to the local controller obviously) and apply template/reboot AP.
The AP reboots, disassociates from the main campus (temporary) controller, but when it comes back up a few minutes later - it associates BACK to the main campus controller it was on instead of to the remote site/local controller like option 43, the LWAAP template (and my frustrated screams) are now telling it to. I'm certain I'm just missing something.

The problem is that if an iPad user is connected to Guest SSID and then try to connect to Corp then it fails saying "Unable to connect to Corp". After 10-15 retires the same iPad connects successfully. The problem doesn't happen on windows PC. I have attached debug for one of the clients.

Background: Wireless credit card machines can't stay connected to the 5508 controller 7.0.116 / 1142 ap wireless system. MAC address of one of the wireless hosts is 00:12:0e:ec:ce:97. AP servicing them is d4:a0:2a:99:34:60. Hosts are able to connect to the network after a reboot and stay connected for random periods of time but then don't come back unless you manually reload them. I have 3 in total in the same room services by the same ap.
I have the output of debug client 00:12:0e:ec:ce:97. Output showed 802.1x 'timeoutEvt' Timer expired for station 00:12:0e:ec:ce:97 so I increased the value to 4000ms on the controller but am still having the issue.
Note that the output below is the state the client stays in after receiving the timeout (802.1x 'timeoutEvt') showing subsequent attampts. The only way to get them back on is a reload of the credit card machine.
