Cisco Wireless :: 5508 - Change Host Name For LAP Via CLI
Jun 9, 2013
How can i change AP host name for LAP via CLI? I got the error 'command is disabled' when i try to use command 'capwap ap hostname <>'
I try to disconnect LAP from WLC, factory default, clear all private-configure and clear all files in nvram: but not working (still got error). I cannot change via WLC GUI for CAP2602I series. I don't know why.
I checked bug CSCsy17745 but current in use software is fixed.
We have recently implemented a 3rd party certificate for the guest access, currently have a WLC 5508 that has a Vlan directly connected to our DMZ firewall and NATed out. The problem is when I have installed a 3rd party certificate as per the following link URL
The DNS host name that I entered into the DNS Host name section is not resolved. If I remove the DNS name and leave the virtual ip address 1.1.1.1 then it works fine but just comes back with untrusted message.
I have setup LAG for one of our 5508 controllers and have connected 4 of the 8 ethernet ports to a 4507 switch. After configuring 2 port channels on the switch we are receiving a host flapping error between the port channels and it seems to be causing a serious slowdown on the switch. When I shutdown one of the port channels the error goes away and traffic returns to normal. I have the same configuration at other locations with the only difference being the switches used are 3750G-12S and I do not see the host flapping error. It appears to only be a problem with modular switches.
One other thing of note: I read a Cisco white paper on LAG and it suggested creating the port channels over 2 different modules. For example, put ports G4/24 and G5/24 in port channel 1 and G4/25 and G5/25 in port channel 2. I tried this but I still got the host flapping error.
With my current setup on the 5508 controller, I don't have the ability to see any name resolution for wireless clients. I'm wondering if there is some way that I can enable this.
The reason I think this should be pretty easy is because if I enable the access point feature of a smart phone (Android or iPhone), when a client connects, it shows the client name on the smartphone. What's different about how a smartphone sees the wireless client and how WLC/WCS sees it?
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 connect a copper SFP on port 2 of WLC 5508 to a ASA 5510 firewall. The links between two devices are down. Since ASA 5510 only support 100 full, how do I change port speed on port 2 to 100.
I have two 5508 and one WCS server, the controllers are in one mobility group.Now I have to change the management IP addresses on the controllers. What are the correct steps to do this?
i see there is an option to "allow password change" or "force password change" for guest roles in the NGS. But when i created a guest account using this guest role, after webauthentication , there is no prompt to change password. Is this the intended behaviour or is there anything else that i need to configure. Looking at it, i am not sure how the NGS would allow a "guest user" to really overwrite the password by allowing password change. ? is that not a security risk as well for the NGS ? my setup has 5508 anchor controller and NGS communicating via RADIUS.
We use a wlc model AIR-CT5508-K9 with eight built-in ports. I would like to know if it is possible to change the speed of these ports down to 100Mb. At this time, they are set to auto and 1000Mbps.
1) I'm using a single subnet eg 192.168.1.0/24 for my wireless clients and i'm assigning them via the DHCP server from the WLC. As the clients are however made up of laptops and scanners, i would like to assign a range from 50-150 for the laptops and 151-250 for the scanners for easier identification. But it seems that from the WLC DHCP menu i'm not able to do this unless i segment them into a different network with different gateways.
2) Is there anyway to change the WLC user accounts password too? I dont seems to be able to find the option unless i delete the account and re-create it with the new password.
I have a 5508 WLC and a series of 1140 APs. One small but annoying thing I have noticed is that the APs are pulling the correct time from the WLC but the timezone is off so they are showing time at 0 and not -8. The timezone is set and correct on the WLC.
Is there a way to change the timeout for the Client Excluded: MACAddress status? It seems like the exclusion is rather short. I'd like to have the ability to control the exclusion time. Using WLC-5508 7.0.116.0.
I have a host that can successfully connect to a PIX 515E (7.x OS) via VPN Client; however, I have no IP routing to the LAN from the remote host.The VPN IP pool works finem,The LAN default gateway is the inside interface on the PIX; the network is flat L2 behind it.The default route on the PIX points out; no other routes are defined,The VPN remote host can be pinged from LAN hosts, but the VPN remote host cannot ping any LAN host, not even the PIX inside interface.
We have 4 WAP121s running 1.0.1.10. After a couple of days of operation, they all become unusably slow. The admin web interface takes several minutes to load, and wireless clients timeout before RADIUS authentication can complete. Waiting long enough allows the diag info to be downloaded, which shows hostapd using all of the CPU time available: [code]
As a workaround, we used to use a small script to reboot them every night via SSH, but someone at Cisco made a less-than-brilliant decision to remove this advertised feature.
I had a home network with 2 laptops (one XP and one Vista) and 1 desktop (XP) configured through a Lynksys wireless router. There was already a Canon wireless network printer (with the Vista laptop set up as the "host" pc). This Vista laptop had to be on in order to print from any of the other 2 computers on the network. I then added another laptop (this one with Windows 7 64-bit OS) to the same home network (using workgroup), and I can print wirelessly from it in the same way (the older Vista laptop has to be on). The Vista laptop is hardly ever used since adding the new Win 7, and I would like to be able to print without having the Vista laptop on. How would I go about this? Do I have to delete the printer from the Vista laptop and re-install on the Win 7? It seems like there should be a way to let the router be the "print server," but I have no idea how to accomplish this. The WLAN settings on the printer all indicate the proper router settings from the initial setup. The printer is a Canon MX860.
Using the host file to block inappropriate websites on a pc works great.But i was wondering can you do the same on a wireless router.for some reason i can not find the option to do this on my netopia router.
Have three computers ( 2 are XP one is vista) connected via wireless router one computer is considered a host computer sitting on a docking station which has the printers connected to it. In the beginning once everything was connected we could print from any computer wireless, then one day we had a power outage and for some reason we can only print from the host computer. How to get the other computers back online to print. All computers are still able to connect to the internet via wireless router (Linksys E1000) but not able to print except the host which is directly connected to the printers.
I have 2 brand new systems, a desktop running Windows 7 Pro connected with a had line, and a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium connected wirelessly. Both can access the router, both can access the internet, both can be pinged from the router. However, they absolutely cannot see each other on the network. If I try to ping by name, the addresses don't resolve. If I try to ping by IP, I get either no reply or the "destination host unreachable."I've disabled firewall completely on both. I've double, triple, quadruple checked all sharing settings (network discovery is enabled on both, sharing enabled everywhere, etc. etc.). I've tried disabling all other network adapters on the laptop, no difference. I've tried all of the online tips about repairing winsock.
So yesterday i was sitting at my computer, doing nothing and then the internet shuts off. So i go up stairs to check on the router, and all of the normal lights are on, as well as the modem. Neither the host or wireless computer has internet.I'm able to be on the forums because i hooked my modem up to this computer, without the router.Whenever i set the router back up, it has the normal connectivity lights on, but the wireless computer AND host computet dont get connection. How to get my wireless computer back up through this router, without canceling ALL connection.[CODE]
In the past few days I have seen an odd named Client Host "The-Britannic" show up on my DHCP Active IP Table list. There is no device (that I'm aware of) with that name on my network. I delete it but it reappears, and is linked to the same IP (192.168.1.101) and MAC address everytime, so it appears to be a legitimate device. Although it looks like a legitimate device, it's not - so far as I know. I have added the MAC address to the blocked list (internet access / access restriction) to see if I or anyone in-house losese internet connectivity on any. So far, no. Searching various malware and spyware sites turn up nothing.
I realize the IP address is assigned by the router through the automatic DHCP assignement process. I do not broadcast my SSID and have a complex passcode assigned to both the wireless and internal network. Of course, that is no 100% guarentee that someone has not gotten in.I'm running a WRT54GL, all Windows 7 PC's on a home built network. I'll probably change all the passcodes (wireless and Windows Home Network) to see if that disallows access.
We use a WLC4112 controller with a number of AP1010s. My controller is uplinked to a 4500, which is then connected to a number of 2950s and 4000s, which are where the APs are connected. All switches, as well as the WLC, are connected together using gig fiber, configured as trunk, with no trunk allowed VLAN restrictions. We operate a guest network on VLAN 4 (192.168.14.0/24), which aside from the internet gateway (192.168.14.3), provides a couple other services:
dhcp (192.168.14.50) print (192.168.14.49)
The gateway is connected to a copper port set to access vlan 4. The DHCP is provided via an Intel nic configured for vlan 4 (among others). The print is a Hyper-V virtual NIC set to vlan 4. There are also hard-wire ports that access this network in various parts of the building, all as "switchport access vlan 4." I have a "guest" network set up on the WLC, operating on dynamic port "Visitor", vlan 4 (192.168.14.48). My wireless clients get an IP from my DHCP server, but cannot ping (or otherwise communicate with) any hosts EXCEPT the gateway (192.168.14.3), so they can get on the Internet without issue. The WLC itself can ping any of the aforementioned wired hosts, and all of the wired hosts can ping each other and the WLC. It is only the wireless clients that refuse to communicate with anything except the gateway. There are no routers in this network apart from the default gateway, this is a basic /24. All hosts are masked at 255.255.255.0. The wireless clients get an IP from 192.168.14.50, though they cannot ping it (but again, everything wired can).My other wireless network, the "corporate" network, does not display this behavior, everything can ping everything.
I recently bought and installed a WAP4410N access point (using PoE) and it's running stable. I was able to access the web-based configuration by using the IP address of the AP (something like 192.168.0.184, coming from the DHCP of my router). However, I'm unable to access the web-based configuration using the host name of the device (mentioned next to the device name in the basic setup section of the web-based configuration). I changed the host name several times, but I can't connect to the device using the host name. Accessing the device by its IP address works, but I have to check the logging of my router to find out which IP address I have to use. Is there a way to access the device using the host name?
(I think my WAP4410N has firmware version 2.0.2.1 installed)
I have different types of network clients connecting to both bands of router (5 ghz and 2.4 ghz), and both bands set to WPA2 only. Everything has been set up and working for the past year with no problems.
Suddenly this morning, none of the 2.4 ghz clients can connect and get authenticated. When I attempt to ping them from a Windows 7 desktop connected by a LAN cable, I get Destination Host Unreachable.
The 5 ghz clients are fine and have had no problems. I tested this with the New iPad connected to the 5 ghz band.
Rebooted the E3000 router and the Comcast cable modem, then installed the newest firmware on the E3000 using the web access portal at 192.168.1.1, and still not working.
Changed the WPA2 Personal security mode for the 2.4 ghz band to WPA2 Personal/WPA Mixed Mode, and now all the clients are connected and authenticated and working OK, albeit slower.
What happened? And how can I fix this so I can change the security mode for the 2.4 ghz band back to WPA2 Personal?
P.S. The types of clients that connect to the 2.4 ghz band are 2 Windows 7 desktops, a Windows 7 laptop, and 5 Cisco Wireless N Internet Home Monitoring Cameras. The camera feeds have slowed down considerably using this Mixed mode.
I've tried everything that has been posted so far except for opening up the router itself which I will refuse to do.- Getting = Host Unreachable 192.168.1.20 (I am using 192.168.1.1 as the gateway)- No ping whatsoever even when turning on the router over and over.
I just purchased an E2500. I have a small home network dominated by Mac and Linux boxes, with an occassional Windows machine. On my previous router I had been running OpenWRT.
One of the nice features of DNSMASQ is that it will do local name resolution from the /etc/hosts file on the router. Is there anyway to turn on similar features in the E2500? I have a NAS box and a networked printer that require local name resolution. I had hoped that I could just create a DHCP reservation for them, and that the router would resolve their names for other hosts on the network. This does not appear to work.
Should I just be boxing this thing up and returning it in favor of a unit I can flash better firmware on to?
I attempted to upgrade the firmware on the WRT54G2 V1 (the newer, slim black model) but it failed. I let the upgrade run for about 10 minutes and it just sat there and link to router disconnected I run ping for 192.168.1.1 but response is "DESTINATION HOST UNREACHABLE". The router is now completely unusable and the ALL LAN ports lights are ON and Internet light is also ON.
