Cisco Wireless :: 5508 WLC Clients Jumping From AP To AP In Same Area
May 1, 2013
I have a 5508 WLC with CAP3502i APs connected to it. I upgreaded the code to the newest 7.2.115.1 code. I am having trouble with laptops that are not physically moving but are moving their connection from AP to AP in the same area. This is in a school and causing a problem with a testing program they are using becuse they drop 2 or 3 pings in the process. I do have the area heavily saturated with AP but that is because of the amount of clients we have connecting to them. There is 8 classrooms in a hallway with 24 laptops in each classroom. Each classroom has an 3502i ap in it. The laptop can be connected to an AP with great signal and move to another AP that still has a good signal but not as great. I don't understand why if I get 4 bars and connected at 144mps it would move to a new AP. These are Lenovo laptos and i have updated their wireless card drivers and set the roaming agressiviness to low but it still happens.

I have configured 5508 with multiple APs but clients on the internal SSID aren't getting an IP address. I have the IP helper address configured and I have also disabled DHCP proxy on the controller.
I get the following from the client debug, I don't know what the below mac address is, it's not one my APs or the clients, I am not seeing this mac address on the controller at all but it shows up in the debug.
type = Airespace AP - Learn IP address

I'm having a problem with my clients dropping the network connection constantly throughout the campus. I am using a Cisco 5508 controller and the APs are LAP1141N. At first I thought it was a roaming issue but I tested with only 1 AP and the problem persisted, I can tell you that we don't have interference problems and that our old linksys APs used to work without flaws.

I have a WLC 5508 in my datacenter, and 1142s configured with FlexConnect at a remote site.Two issues:Some APs 'die' from time to time where I cannot ping them anymore and they do not service any clients. I can reset them from the WLC after which they work again. I have some clients in the building (same area) who lose connectivity from time to time and are unable to reconnect to the wireless. I am seeing errors that the gateway cannot be found or there is not a valid IP. restarting the AP closest to the clients fixes the issue. I have replaced the AP and connected to a different port on the switch.

We have deployed a WLC 5508 w/ SW version 6.0.199.4, 1142 AP's & open authentication w/ MAC filtering. Clients are randomly getting dropped with "Limited Access" shown in Win 7. In this state, the client machine is unable to ping the gateway and sometimes lose their DHCP assigned IP as well. A manual disconnect/re-connect to the SSID is required everytime.I ran a debug on one the clients stuck in the "Limited Access" state (debug client xx:xx:xx:xx):

We got a question about our WLC 5508 single controller deployment with 14 access points without a VLAN configuration.
When our clients connect to the wifi, we cannot see any ip address of them in the client details page. It shows everytime the ip address 0.0.0.0. The clients are configured with a static ip.

question in regards to the deployment of a new WLC and new LAPs,I have configured and connected a 5508 WLC and 3500 series LAP.LAG is enabled in the WLC and successfully connected to the neighboring switch (using etherchannel) and to the network.
The port-channel port is set to trunk mode obviously and certain vlan ids are currently allowed (3-5)
The management interface has this IP address 192.168.5.250/24
I created a WLAN with WLAN ID 3, Interface set to Management and say SSID test1
I have connected a new LAP to the network, which switchport interface is set to access mode and assigned with vlan id 3. The LAP is able to join the WLC successfully with an IP address, such as, 192.168.3.100 (assigned via DHCP).
When I try connecting a mobile client to the wireless LAN, it can successfully detect and connect to the WLAN, created in the WLC (test1) however it gets an IP address by DHCP, in the 192.168.5.0/24 network, which is the IP range of the management interface's IP address.
What can I do to get the clients connecting on network 192.168.3.0/24? I thought this would be the case since I allocated the WLAN Id of 3 in the WLAN test1 configuration and since the LAP switchport is set to access mode with vlan ID 3.

We have a Cisco 5508 controller with 1142 LWAP's running version 7.4.100.We have several Dell laptops which will not associate to the access point UNLESS you stand directly underneath it, power off the wireless, turn it back on then eventually the PC will associate to the AP.Once the PC is associated to the AP and user is authenticated then all is well.
Have tried updating the wireless drivers downloaded from both Dell or INTEL. This does not happen to all of our laptops. However, without making any changes to the WLC or the PC's, we have begun to expirence this problem with laptop which previously did not have this issue.

I'm working on migrating autonomous WAPs to lightweight mode in a WLC 5508. Some of the older WAPs are being decommissioned at the same time.
One issue I have found is that after replacing an old WAP in autonomous mode with a new WAP (3502); some clients near the coverage of this new LWAPP are now connecting to another WAP in autonomous mode that has not been converted or replaced yet; but that is located quite far away from where these clients are, actually two floors down. Users on these clients have reported wifi dropouts, which is obvious due to the distance where the old WAP is. A workaround that seems to work is removing the wifi profiles in the client machines and recreating them again, which is not a good solution for all of the wifi profiles we have in place. At this point of time we still need to have the older WAPs until they are all replaced.
How can I get clients connecting to a LWAPP that is closer to their location? I'm wondering what causes those clients to look for an existing older WAP rather than connecting to the new LWAPP, which is broadcasting the same SSID closer to where they aree. Bear in mind that the new LWAPP is working fine and has live sessions working just fine.

Just inserted a new 5508 WLC into the network. We current have 3 4404 WLCs, and there was a need to duplicate, as much as possible, the configurations on the 4404s, and the design. The 5508 came online as expected. We moved a few access points over to it. The APs got the correct address range. The clients are expected to get addresses in the same scope range as the APs. However, the clients are receiving addresses in the management IP scope.I know there are two "not a good way to do it" in here. Why is the management address range in the DHCP scope, and why are the clients using the same scope as the APs. We are going to change that. For now, the AP and client in the same range has been going on since we rolled out wireless in 2006.The 8 ports on the 5508 are configured for LAG. There is no dedicated port for management. They tell me not to do that on a 5508.

I have a 5508 WLC and 40+ LAP1142N APs spread across 19 locations that allows staff to connect to our private network via wireless. I recently deployed about 40 new laptops all identical make and model HP ProBook 4530's and all have the same client setup for the wireless. Out of those 40 laptops I have 4 that will not connect to the private network. However, these same laptops will connect to my public, open wireless network without issue. In addition to the 4 that will not connect all the others will prompt twice for network authentication.Now, I have about 10 other laptops that are not the HP model and all connect without issue and without dual propt. I don't think this is a wireless network issue but could be some type of issue with this model of laptop.

which is the maximum number of simultaneous wired guest clients on a 5508? And in a 2112 controller?
Wired clients count as wireless clients??
What about anchoring limitations, what is the effect of wired guest clients on the anchor controller?

the cursor on my laptop started jumping all over on its own accord and I am struggling to gain control of it and various programs & windows are opening of their own accord. I assumed I had some form of Malware (I know very little about computers) so ran various removal scans and a few things were picked up but it continues to do this. My brother brought his laptop round so I could at least use the internet and after 5 mins of being connected to my internet his laptop started to do exactly the same cursor going all over and programs opening - his laptop was perfectly fine until he connected to my internet. Once he took his laptop back home on his own network it was working perfectly normal again.

We have 2 WLCs, 4402 (main) and 5508 (backup). While we turn on both devices, 4402 have 10 APs, and 5508 have 10 APs as well. Total connected clients will be 120+, but when we turn off either 1 wlc, let's say only 4402 is power on, total 20 APs joined, but the total client will be 90+, never reach over 100 clients. The same happened on 5508, is there any maximum associated connection on WLC?

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 would like to share one problem with WLC 5508 . we added a new virtual interface on the WLC. One new SSID is associated with this interface.
We created a ACL for this interface to restrict the access via WIFI to certian services. It´s not correct that everything works fine because the change were not applied. [code]
The changes of the ACL are applied on the fly, but for reason we don´t know, the clients don´t get a DHCP IP-Address (after changing the ACL) until the Controller is rebooted.

I work on a college campus that has thousands of students a day accessing our wireless network. We have broadcast SSID that the students use to connect to the internet. The students usually have more than one WiFi enable device on them and their laptops and phones both take an IP address, but they are only using the laptop to authenticate while the phone is associted, but not authenticated. In the meantime, I have several thousand IPs being used by their phones/iPods etc. Is there a way to revoke the DHCP lease if the client does not authenticate within a specified time frame (i.e. 10 minutes)?

I have a strange behavior between a WLC 5508 (version 7.0.116.0) and NEXUS7010.
WLC
The WLC is configured in DHCP Bridging Mode (it sends DHCP requests without change)
Nexus
The VLAN interface is configured as follows
interface Vlan501
ip access-group acl-int-vlan501-in-1 in
no ip redirects
ip address 10.12.56.4/21
ip ospf network broadcast
ip router ospf 100 area 10.23.0.0
hsrp 51
Clients can not obtain an IP address intermittently. If I deactivates the ACL when the problem appears(when the client can not obtain an IP@) the probleme is resolved
Note: Before the WLC was connected to Catalyst 6500 and worked properly for 2 years (with same configuration)
I saw this note about differences between DHCP relay on the NEXUS7000/NXOS an Ip helper one the 6500/IOS URL. Do you think the problem may come from the DHCP relay or ACL on the NEXUS.

We are deploying BYOD with Cisco ISE 1.1.2 and WLC (5508) using 802.1x authentication.Windows clients cannot connect to 802.1x SSID with the following error on ISE:Authentication failed : 12321 PEAP failed SSL/TLS handshake because the client rejected the ISE local-certificate
The client doesn't have preconfigured wifi profile or root certificate installed.The concept of BYOD suppose that you can connect your device without any installed certificates and preconfigured wifi-profiles.
The problem is that Windows 7 supplicant does not send TLS alert in pop up window, when connecting to 802.1x SSID.If this alert is seen, than you can accept it and proceed the connection. After that you will be asked to install ROOT-cert, get your own cert and etc.So, the question is: how to make the windows supplicant to show the pop-up window with TLS alert?
p.s. the attached file shows the example of pop up TLS-alert window

I have 4 desktops cat5 to Dlink DIR 615 router. All work fine. Any wireless clients, laptop or netbooks, see the desktop computers for a while then disconnect somehow. All machines can see the Internet through the router at all times. The desktops disappear from the laptop/netbooks but the wireless machines can be seen from the desktop computers but clicking on them gets 'Access Denied' message after a wait.3 desktops = XP, 1 98SE. All laptop/netbooks = XP

need to know the OSPF best design. I have a customer currently running their OSPF only in two area. Area 0 is provider reside and area 1 reside 700 hundred over of router including HQ router and remote branch router connecting to metro-E 10Mbps networks. Is this design have any weakness? Area 1 about 800 hundred router reside in, the HQ model is cisco router 7200 and remote end is cisco router 1841.Let's say they want a solution, for 3G remote router connect back to the HQ using Lease line with a fixed IP. Using DMVPN and OSPF communicating back to HQ. What should we aware when designing and implementing for the OSPF best practice. They have 700 hundred over remote branch need to terminate back to their HQ. I read cisco recommend an area should not be more than 50 router and per-area no more than 28 area.

We currently have an ASA 5520 communicating with 10 ASA 5510's, all on static outside addresses. I was asked to add 5 additional 5510's on dynamic address. All worked well in testing until it was decided that some of the dynamic clients needed to talk to each other.
My testing shows packets just dying in the 5520.

I have a Netgear WNDR4500 running the stock firmware, acting as a router for my home. I also have 2 routers that are flashed with DD-WRT (Linksys WRT54G and Asus WL-520GU) running as client bridges. The Netgear is 192.168.1.1 and the other 2 client bridges are 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.10.3. The Netgear router is performing DHCP giving addresses from 192.168.10.100 to 192.168.10.254. I have numerous machines connected to the Netgear, wirelessly and wired, and numerous machines wired to each client bridge. All machines have IP addresses that are 192.168.10.100, 192.168.10.101, 192.168.10.102, etc... Everything is working fine, but I have one question: When I access the Netgear router, it shows the client bridges as clients, machines that are wired and wireless to the Netgear router are listed as clients, but the client list does not show any clients that are connected to the client bridges. I assumed that since the router is performing DHCP that all clients would show up.

I've been tasked with providing wireless coverage for an outdoor courtyard. The wireless that bleeds out into the courtyard is minimal for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I'm thinking a 3502p mounted just inside the wall hooked to a ANT25137NP-R patch antenna mount on an exterior wall. The red line on the wall will represent the antenna mounted on the wall. This will be providing coverage for phones on 5Ghz and general devices on 2.4.

I have a WLC 4400 with multiple LAP.I have a small area with 30 wireless devices. I want to install 2 APs, to make sure that all wireless devices have a connection to the wireless network and have proper bandwidth. The issue is that the APs will be near each other. Will the APs interfere with each other and will each AP receive an equal amount of connections?
