Cisco Wireless :: 8500 - Converged Access Mode On Controllers
Mar 26, 2013
Are there any plans to support the "converged wireless access mode" on the 8500 controllers ? Don't want to buy this $$$ controller to throw it away in a couple of months when 3850 switches will start appearing and require local termination...
BTW: will the 3850 ever support just plain pass-through for wireless ? The local termination is a PITA because i will need to replace my WiFi AP at the same time i replace my access switch since current AP are not supported on 3850.

I have a XPS8500 with Win7 64bit and last week entered internet via wlan without problems. After an automated update I get a "limited connectivity" despite excellent signal strength. If I restore the system to 15:16 settings, everything works fine. However after a restart I am confronted with "limited connectivity" again.

The wlc config guide of Release 7.4 states that sticky key caching (usefull with apple devices) is supported at AP in local mode. [URL]I am testing the new WLC 8500 with 7.4.100.60.
AP mode = FlexConnect
The wlan i activated skc is centrally switched.I debugged the iPhone (4S) roaming.I think skc works at centrally switched vlan on flexconnect APs.

We have two 4400 controllers which support 50 Access points each and wcs with 100 base license.Now we added 5508 controller supports 50 access points.wcs is upgraded with another 50 ap license.The 5508 controller is joined to wcs and the licence showing permanent.WCS showing all aps and showing both 100 and 50 licence as permanent.But the issue is while loging into the wcs it showing the error message as"The system is in violation of license.The number of APs registered is greater then licensed."

I am working in an environment with 6 4402 all running 6.0.119.4 code and WCS 6.0.196.0. I keep getting an alert from WCS that the controllers cannot be reached "Controller '10.x.x.x' is unreachable. - Controller Name: 'Name'"
Now when I go to access the WLC through HTTPS I have no access at all but controller still responds to ICMP, HTTP, Telnet, SSH. I know I should have HTTP and Telnet disabled but since HTTPS keeps failing I would have no way to get into the controller. Is this a known issue in the 6.0.199.4 code? should I consider upgrading? The only fix I have found to work is to disable HTTPS reboot controller enable HTTPS and reboot again.

Does the 8500 support any SMOF SFPs? data sheet only talks about a MM based SFP.

Working on a project consolidating all controllers to a single 8500 controller with a standby. Moved an AP over to test the process and everything worked fine. Took a little longer than I thought it would, but given the design with new flexconnect abilities, the creation of AP groups well you know.
I get the AP over and one of my ssids doesnt work because the key is different, so gotta move the AP back over to resolve production issues.
when downgrading from 7.4 to 7.0?

Is it possible to enable load balancing for a particular group of APs and disabled for the rest. Perhaps AP groups. Running 8500 WLC with 3600 series APs. It will enhance the service concurrent user capacities for areas with a high device count.

I am not able to connect to any webpages in normal mode, even after restarting i still have the same problem [However it works in safe mode with networking]. The network connections show that it is connected and the signal strength is excellent. I then have to keep restarting the laptop like 3 to 4 times and it works. Its kind of frustrating to keep doing this all the time and besides i am scared by restarting the laptop so many time can harm it.

Periodically I will loose internet connection even though when I click on the wireless applet in the tray it says connected. If I disconnect and re-connect it will work fine for a few hours. Takes all of 20 seconds to do. Any problems with 1703 wireless card? Have installed the latest drivers.

I am attempting to add my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer to my HP elite book. The printer is showing up in control panel as being my default printer. It is showing up as being offline, even though the drop down menu does not show it as being offline. No printers are listed in the device manager.

I have a Dell XPS 9100 system which has a Dell Wireless-N 1525 PCIe WLAN (a/g/b/n) card which I would like to transfer into my new Dell 8500 which comes with a Dell Wireless 1703 WLAN (g/b/n) half minicard. This is because the Dell 1525 is dual band and is faster than the Dell 1525. I would like to get the procedure for installing the Wireless-N 1525 PCIe WLAN card into the XPS 8500 (and replacing the 1703 half minicard).

I have been tasked by my boss of finding out and implementing a solution of building GRE tunnels from 2 4408 Wireless controllers system for a guest wireless network. I am but a low CCNA wireless, working on getting motivated for CCNP wireless, but I didn't even know if this was possible and if it was where to begin. I have been reading configuration guides but figure I should ask the wireless experts of the world of Cisco.

I am read this cisco document Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch Services Guide
[URL]...
which describe that
L2 roam occurs when the user roams from an access point connected to its controller to a different access point connected to another controller, where the two controllers are L2 adjacent to each other.
L3 roam occurs when the user roams from an access point connected to its controller to a different access point connected to another controller, where the two controllers are L3 adjacent to each other.
so what exactly this mean the two controllers are L2/L3 adjacent to each other , what is the different between them.

I am configuring two 2504 controllers, which I ordered together, however they run different software versions and I don't have a contract/ login to download wlan controller software from the Cisco website. The one with the newest version runs 7.2.103.0 while the other one runs 7.0.220.0 I want to run them together in the same subnet and use them for redundancy (10 AP's will connect).
Is there a way I can download the software from the controller, just like I am able to do with an ASA firewall? Then I can upload it to the controller with the older software version.

I am setting up two 5508 controllers, one in HA mode, and one the primary for the remote sites in question. I plan to have these units service wireless for MPLS conected regional sites (each with their own local subnet). I was planning on using the cabled hosts network in each site for the wifi addressing and was thinking a different addressing for Guest Access, is this common? I'm obviously concerned with guest access clients but don't know enough how their trafiic is segregated from normal wifi traffic.
Also, when I stand up the controllers the management interface and ap-manager won't be in the same network as where the hosts or LWAP's will reside (routing access will exist though).

We have 2 Cisco 5508 WLCs, each wtih 50 licenses. What I would like to do is split the 50 odd APs between the 2 controllers load balancing the traffic. If a controller goes down or there is a break in the path all APs would failover to their configured secondary controller. So far so good.
However there seems to be no way to 'replicate' the configurations between controllers unless I setup HA , but as I understand it HA is Active /Passive, so essentially, unless you get a failover situaltion, completely 'redundant'.
Is there a way or either replicating between controllers automatically with out HA, or is there a way of making HA Active / Active?

I'm looking into upgrading our 4400 series controller to 5508's. Currently we have a few sites that have 8-9 4404 100AP controllers and I'm looking to condense these down to either 3 5508-500 or 5 5508-250 depending on cost. I'm wondering what a good port to AP ratio is for controllers with licenses that can handle over 100 AP's. I know the general rule of thumb is 25 AP's per port, but that seems to me to be 4400 way of thinking. I'm trying to also reduce the controllers overall footprint, i.e. ports on the uplink switch, power consumption, rack space etc.

I am planning to move our WLC's (5508) from a branch site to HQ so that all branch site APs will just report centrally in the HQ. There are two WLCs working as Active/Standby. Plan is to move one then the other. I am not really inclined with wireless.

Actually we have a 4402 controller with 1120 APs both of which are marked as EoL products, we want to jump over the new 2600 APs and 5508 Controller for increase signal coverage but we have the following deals:Last firmware for 4402 controller is 7.0.Firmware needed for 5508 to support 2600 APs is 7.3.Is it possible to configure mobility between 4402 and 5508 even with different firmware branch?

--- I have 2 WLC's 5500 that I have to set up on my network with the same configuration except I am not sure that they can be load balanced.
-- My only thought is to take a full class C and on each WLC set up a /25, thus each device can provision 120 IP's
--- This seems a bit archaeic, but is there anything else smarter to do? Can they be load balanced?

We are installing a set of 5508 controllers at one site in Tennessee. At another divisional site we have another controller that covers that division.
Both sites utilize the same DNS structure and would like to use the DNS entry CISCO- CAPWAP- CONTROLLER entry for bringing new AP onto the controllers at their sites, how would we go about configuring this?

I have 2 WLAN controllers, a 4400 series and 5500 series controller. The 4400 series has 100 seat limit on it, with 74 Access Points currently connected. The 5500 series has a 250 max, but we bought it with only 50 licenses, and it is max'd out at 50.The 5500 controller is the controller that has a DNS entry so that the Access Points will know to find that controller as they're being added. BUT, because we've reached our limit of 50 licenses, I'd like to be able to set the 4400 series controller to be the controller that new Access Points try to connect to. By going back to the 4400 as the controller that new Access Points connect to buys me time to plan for more licenses on next years budget for the 5500 controller.

Every time I power down my WLC2504 controller and then back up, the time reverts back to the year 2000.The APs can't join the controller, due to certificate errors, until I reset the clock. This problem just started recently.

Having performance issues running two 5508 controllers on the same network? One is running 7.3.101.0, the other is running 7.0.98.0. The legacy APs are connected to the WLC on the older code to support older hardware. The new WLC is accepting all the new 3600 APs. Once all legacy APs are replaced, the 5508 on old code will be disabled.
