Cisco Wireless :: 7500 - Flex Controller Design
Feb 5, 2012
Just want to know if it is possible to have a 7500 Flex Controller Cluster in different Locations, like Germany an Australia?
This should be deployed as a redundant system, in case of a failure in one location the remaining Cluster can take over. Also the main maintenance/management should be done in the Headquarter (Germany). Is it possible to configure Guest Access via Web Interface.
Last question: how many AP`s can be managed, example: with one Controller 500 AP can I then manage 1000 with two controller?

I am planning an HREAP deployment; a data centre with multiple remote sites. HREAP has been evaluated and meets our requirements. We are now looking at buying some equipment for this deployment. For controllers, we are considering either the 5508 or the new 7500. Other than cost, scalability and different hardware what are the differences between the platforms? So far I have found:AP's in local mode not supported on 7500, the 5508 supports AP's in local mode.The 7500 cannot be used as a guest anchor controller, the 5508 can.

Is there a limit to the number of ssid's that can be supported in h-reap mode? I need to deploy at least 4 but the documentation does not necessarily say. I'm deploying these ssid's on a 7500 controller.

I have to make a design for 150 sites, the large sites (40) will be controller based designs.But for the small sites (110) contains 3 APs, which will not have a controller onsite. (or should it be ??)Besides the overall management , which features do I miss if it is controller based or standalone APs.Like CleanAir , etc.

I have a wireless 5508 with license base to 50 aps, i use a deployment flex connect. I already registered all my access points, I use web authentication to authenticate users guest, and the service dhcp is in the central site.
My issue is the users in each remote site, can not get an ip address by dhcp from the central site, they can authenticate in the guest ssid, but any users can not get an ip. The request is passing by the wan in this way
Central Site DHCP - Router WAN - Remote Site - Users with notebooks. I use flex connect central deployment (all the traffic consulting to the wlc) .
perhaps i should use local deploy? The wireless is in the central site.

We are planning to implement Cisco wireless in our central office and branch office using Cisco 2504 WLC and Cisco 1602i Ap. Our branch office is connected via ip vpn and a separate broadband connection for urgent requirements. Usually all users are allowed to browse through central proxy server.I have been trying to find any possibility of giving guest access (web authentication) for branch office guests utilizing only the broadband connection which is connected to the branch office. Is there a possibility that Central WLC is reached using NAT from the BranchOffice AP and allowing guests to authenticate and surf the web at times IP VPN is unreachable.

I have one cisco wlc 2112 with ios 7.0.230.0 with license to support 12 access points. My access points are nine (9) lap1231ag and one (1) lap1310.I just have one wlan (ssid). My scenario of deployment is in layer 3. I have one interface management and ap manager in the WLC. All my Access Points have differents ip address that WLC. I need to configure a unique ssid to associate my six (6) dynamics interfaces (each dymanic interface with different vlan subnet).Each wlan profile (ssid) should have the same security in phase 2 (wpa2/psk). My cisco access points don't support hreap. My wlc support only (4) interface into an interface group, and i need six (6) dynamics interfaces.

I created a LAP Template in NCS to configure some new 1142 LAPs that were installed in a remote office. These LAPs need to be in Flex Connect mode with V LAN support. The template is being applied with partial success on every access point. Details of the partial success say the Flex Connect Parameters fail with the following error.
Provision Failure: { URL}.Object Not Found Exception cannot be cast to [URL]
Am I doing something wrong? The Flex Connect portion of the template has V LAN Support enabled, Native V LAN ID, and the Profile Name- V LAN Mappings configured.
Prime NCS version 1.1.1.24 Access Points are AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9s running 7.2.110.0

I have to setup my first flex stack and wanted to make sure I do it right. I have the physical aspect of the stack down. From what I gathered I have to setup the master switch as the highest priority and then provision the other two switches. But I have configs on the other two switches, do I have to delete them? And do I have to setup individual ips for the two slave switches, because from what I saw the master switch is the only one with an ip address? The master switch is a poe 2960S-48LPS and the two other switches are 2960G-48TD

After upgrading, ping times from clients has gone from ~10ms to ~2500ms. I have a Cisco 7500 Flex controller, when running controller code version 7.0.220.0 client performance was as expected. When using code 7.2.103.0 performance is terrible. I have tried upgrade to 7.2.103.0 and clean configuration (reset) with 7.2.103.0 with the same results.
I have tested using 3502i APs with the signal metrics (from AP) reported by the clients (all testing close to these figures):
Signal Strength : -48 dBm
Signal to Noise : 49 dB
AP's are in HREAP/Flex mode. The WLANs use HREAP/FlexConnect local switching. I have tested WLAN's with WPA2-PSK and 802.1x/WPA2 with the same results. I have tested several clientsoperatign systems , laptops, ipads, iphone. All experience consitent poor ping latency peformance on both 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz when using controller code 7.2.103.0.
I have switched between 7.0.220.0 and 7.2.103.0 several times and the results are consistent; good performance on 7.0.220.0 and terrible performance on 7.2.103.0. I would like to use 7.2.103.0 for its enhanced FlexConnect features but this is a real show stopper.

One of my customer has an Apple IPAD 2.The IPAD is getting registerd through Cisco WLC 7.2.The APs that are being used is AP 1252 & AP 1242. The AP are configured in flex mode. The issue that we are facing is all the laptops and IPADs other then Apple IPAD are working but the Apple IPAD are not working through AES WPA2.It gives him a dismiss message and at time it gets connected but take a long time to get connected. Incase when the IPAD gets connected the following happens.
While connecting to the SSID it will ask for the preshared keyAfetr entering the preshared key it takes time to acquire an IP addressAfter the IP address is assigned it gives a dismiss message. If we do not click on the dismiss message then it will take anothere 30 seconds or so and get connected.

I have a Cisco Flex 7500 in my datacenter and I need to connect 100 sites , each site with 2-3 APs , each side has its own network and is independent of other sites , the site only need to comunity locally and do not need to access any centralized applications.
I am trying to achieve this by Creating 100 different AP groups and assiging 2-3 AP in each groups for each branch, I will achieve WAN failover resiliency by creating flexconnect groug , the issue I am facing are as below .
1.Since all the sites has same setup , the AP and clients on all sites are in vlan 2 , so when I try to create 2 or more AP group with same vlan, it restricts me of doing so , I cannot create diffrent AP groups mapped to same Vlan .
2.If I keep the APs and Clients in the same subnet , I dont think it should be a problem , but I need your second opinion.
to give you an even better picture , look at the topology enclosed , and my question is if both STAFF and STUDENT APs are in same vlan but in 2 different broadcast domain , how would I create the AP groups.

I have DSL service through Verizon, using the wireless modem Westell 7500. At least 1-2 days a week the power light goes out on the modem. I typically reboot the modem and it takes 1-2 minutes to restart but sometimes I have to reboot a second time in order to get the power light to go on.

I have my Westell model 7500 in the barn office. I need the wireless internet in the apartment that was built in the front of the barn. The living room, where I need the signal for Roku, Kindle, and laptop, is approximately 60 to 70 feet from the modem. For awhile I had a low signal strength and I could use the internet but now it is nonexistent in the apartment. The Westell was provided by my internet supplier. How do I boost the signal so that I can get it in my apartment?

As per my understanding, Cisco Nexus 2232 can only connect to HP c7000 Chassis if we are using a Pass Through Switch in the HP c7000. Cisco Nexus 2232 can only connect to End Hosts and not to a switch. Is there a New Feature added in Nexus 2232, which enables it to connect to a Switch like HP Flex Fabric ?

We are setting up a WLC 7500 for the first time and are having a hard time trying to connect an LAP to the WLC. We have 1042 Access Points.Reason for last unsucessful attempt: to many concurrent ap image downloads
-Last Error Occurred: Lwapp discovery request rejected
-Last Error Occurred Reason: Too many concurrent AP image downloads
We only have 1 AP plugged in so far and it does recieve an IP address from DHCP.

We use a Flex7500 with local switching and centeral authentication. My question is can i use the Customer's radius server in order to authenticate? or should my WLC have IP conncetivity to any radius server im adding?I guess what i'm really asking is should my WLC know the radius server or does the request can go back to the AP and from there to customer radius on his subnet?

We are using a Westell 7500 wireless modem/router from Frontier without any problemsI have two d-link wireless n300 routers that I want to add to network so I can add them to our DirecTV DVR's. I have tried using the D-link CD and instructions without any success. Everytime it prompts me for my 1st router's (the Westell's) login/password, it says it's invalid. If I then click to continue w/o the logon and password, it then gives me an error when it is trying to add the d-link. I have tried everything. My Westell IP is 192.168.1.1. How can I access and add the d-link routers? Is there an easier way?

I know that the 3600 series APs are not supported on the 4404 WLC. However, would the following scenario be supported? I would like to use the 4404 (software rel. 7.0) as a guest anchor with a 5508 (software release 7.2) as the foreign controller supporting series 3600 APs. I ask because the APs do not need to join the guest anchor.

We have a customer that have 2 5508 as primary and backup controller and a 4400 as an anchor controller. We plan to upgrade the 5508 to 7.3.112.0 and the 4400 is already 7.0.116.0. Will there be any issue if the anchor controller is not the same code as the foreign controller? Do I also have to upgrade the acnhor controller to 7.0.240.0?

We are trying to navigate the waters in choosing between a in-house, controller-based, wireless network solution or a cloud-based solution. We have been presented with the usual suspects in cloud-based (Aerohive, Meracki, etc) and with Cisco (5500) and Aruba on the other side. We are a multi-campus organization with approx. 200 APs.Any hard reasons why go with a controller-based vs. cloud-based solution? If we must keep the conversation limited to Cisco, why go Meracki over Cisco's WLC solutions or vise versa?

I am looking to configure a wired and wireless guest network. I have industrial barcode scanners that connect to one SSID and then there is the business network on the office SSID (no vlan seperation for these devices just different SSIDs). There is not really a need to seperate the business network from the scanners in any case. However, there are needs for a guest network and this needs to be seperated. At the bare minumum I would like to have the wireless guest network. Here is what I have: 2125 Wireless LAN controller managing 18 LAPs (1 indoor and 17 outdoors)Cisco Cat 2950 switches (2 x 24 port and soon to be replaced with 2 x 48 port 2960's with 802.1x capability) Sonicwall TZ210 firewallOne existing wired and trunked vlan for PLC infrastructure. One ESXi hosting Windows server guests (soon to be 2 with vMotion) The reason for the wired guest access network is tp prevent anyone from plugging into the wall jack in the office with thier home laptops or anyone else from being on the same subnet as our domain machines. Granted they would be unathenticaed but there would be no layer 2 seperation and that is what I think would be best.
How would I go about doing this on the wireless controller without an anchor controller just using my existing hardware? I would like to have the Guest SSID only availible in the front office. Is it possible to offer a guest network while still servicing the business network SSID on the same access point? Then might I be able to have the guest network be treated as it should at the controller? However this might present another issue altogether as the guest traffic will be over the same wire as the business SSID until it hits the controller for management.

I used these instructions to put my Fairpoint westell 7500 modem/router into bridge mode: [URL]. Then I hooked my new e3200 to the westell 7500, but no matter what I tried, I could not get any PCs hooked to the e3200 to be able to get to the internet.so able to get to internet too. My questions are:Is there any downside to doing it this way? (ie, not putting westell in bridge mode).Can this cause any slowness or conflicts? Any reasons why bridge mode may not have worked?

just have few questions about designing WLC 5508. The scenario is that currently one of the client has a firewall Tie ring T1 internet facing and T2 internal which has multiple DMZ connected. T2 firewall has a DMZ switch connected which has a router which connects to MPLS cloud to different site across the country. (around 10 sites) all static routing. Now the client is thinking to deploy wireless at all 10 sites using H-REAP. The issue is that client has only one WLC and they are not willing to buy other as i was thinking to deploy two WLC one for corporate and one for guest users. (one in internal network and on in DMZ). Now my question is as follow.
1- Keeping in mind that there is only one WLC where should i physically put it?
2- How guest users will work ? How the authentication will be done?
3-There are 8 SFP ports in WLC how physical topology will look like?
4-How many V LANs i have to make for wireless users will that be 10? (1 at each site) ?
My last question is that how these ports work on WLC are they just like switch e.g one port can be assigned to different v lan....just confuse about interfaces and vlans on WLC (interfaces concept).

I'm trying to find a document in Design Zone about configuring a Wireless AP and I wasn't able to find it. I have a good experience configuring switches, routers and firewalls in CLI and this is the first that I have my hands on APs (1240 AG).

Soon to be working on a design for a Wireless installation across one of our buildings. The wireless survery has been completed, and we'll be installing 175 APs, across the 3 floors of the building.
With regards to the back-end WLC setup, I have a few queries around the WLC configuration. We're looking at implementing the 4400 series of devices, and due to us having nearly 200 APs, we'll need at least 2 x 4404 or 4 x 4402 - I'm assuming its simpler to have fewer devices to make management simpler.Also, looking at the Cisco reference material, they recommend that a 4404 can support up to 100 APs, with regards configuring the ports on the box, would I need to configure LAG across the WLC
ports in order for it to accommodate all of the Access Points. If we were to go with a scenario of using 2 x 4404 devices, would we be in a position whereby if we lost a Controller, we'd lose
all of the Access Points associated with that Controller? In order for us to have full resiliency, we'd need an additional 4404 controller for the APs to failover on too? From a licensing perspective, we'll be purchasing a licence to cover 200 APs.

it seems there is no option for flexconnect registered AP's to work with external accounting server.I am using zeroshell server to authenticate with the radius server,which works perfectly!but there is no option under flexconnect security group to specify accounting server.is there a way to redierct AP to a local acoouting+authentication radius ?
