Cisco Wireless :: AP-manager Interface On 2504?

Jan 8, 2013

I'm getting familiar with an existing, working wireless installation that uses a 2504 controller (recently upgraded to 7.3.101.0).
 
From the documentation, it looks like there should be a "AP-manager" interface by default (static).  There is not one. 

Configuring the Management Interface (GUI) #

Step 1 Choose Controller > Interfaces to open the Interfaces page.
###
Figure 3-3     Interfaces Page
#
 
According to that document, there are 4 Static interfaces.  On the one I'm working on, there are only two: "management" and "virtual."  (There are also a couple of "Dynamic" interfaces that have been set up.)From reading the documentation, it sounds like there should be an AP-manager interface, and that this would have been there by default. 
 
It also sounds like an AP-manager interface is needed:Information About the AP-Manager Interface ## A controller has one or more AP-manager interfaces, which are used for all Layer 3 communications between the controller and lightweight access points after the access points have joined the controller. The AP-manager IP address is used as the tunnel source for CAPWAP packets from the controller to the access point and as the destination for CAPWAP packets from the access point to the controller.
  
Question 1:  If I do not have an AP-Manager interface, are the APs connecting at L2?  Is there some way to tell on these controllers whether APs are connecting at L2 or at L3 using udp? 
 
Question 2:  Is it not the case that one AP-manager interface should be there by default?  (I see in the docs that more than one can be created, but in that case I expect that the additional interface(s) would show in the list as "Dynamic" and not "Static.")
 
 A bit of background: The customer network is largely one flat network now, and I'm planning on subnetting it, and routing from the closets up.  I want to make sure what may need to be changed in this wireless setup before proceeding.  (The main wireless users are also getting IP addresses on the same flat network, at this point.  That obviously will change so that they are on their own subnet.)

Cisco Wireless :: Configuration Of Multiple AP Manager Interfaces On WLC 2504

Mar 20, 2012

I've got a question concerning the configuration of multiple AP manager interfaces on -for example- a cisco WLC 2504. I've read the configuration guide but I'm not sure whether this is the way the protocol works. Say I want to distribute AP's (and traffic) across various AP Manager interfaces on the WLC. I would configure the following:
 
Create one management interface (which will automatically also be an AP-Manager interface)Configure 1 (or more) Seperate ap-manager interfaces, assign them to a port number, and select "Enable dynamic AP Management". VLAN ID's will be the same.Create a WLAN and configure it's interface to "management" Is it correct if I state that the LWAPP protocol takes care of the discovery from the Access Point and sends information about the available AP-manager interfaces back to the AP and the AP knows which ap-manager interfaces are available, connecting to the least loaded one?

Cisco Wireless :: WLC 5508 Cannot Create AP-manager Interface

Aug 9, 2012

Yesterday I was in one of our client premises configuring a WLC 5508 with software 7.2, went through the initial configuration wizard with no problem whatsoever, my issue began when trying to configure a ap-manager interface.In many WLC configuration guides cisco states that for 5508 it is not required to configure an ap-manager interface because the management will suffice, but then they put a side note recommending it's configuration for best practices and better performance. OK so I saw that in an earlier version document and now they do not make the recommendation but the still use the word required and for me that's still is not a limitation. I can't create the ap manager interface because when I put the VLAN ID it says the it is being used by another interface.

Cisco Wireless :: Additional AP-Manager Interface On WLC 5508

Aug 25, 2011

at the moment we are using as default the manager interface as ap-manager interface.
 
Now I have to change the IP. I would like to change that very smooth with all our locations. My question, is it possible to add a ap-manager interface with a new vlan and IP Range, so that I can move the AP's to the second interface as as soon as it is planed with the location. Sometimes in special cases we have hard coded the WLC IP oder we just need to change the DHCP option but this needs to be planed and I see problem to do that in a hard cut.

Cisco Wireless :: No Access Point Manager Interface On CT2504

Jan 23, 2013

I have inherited a site where the builders have installed a 2504 controller with 8 access points. Unfortunately they have not created an ap-manager interface when they did the set up. Is there any way I can do this via GUI or command line without going back to defaults?

Cisco Wireless :: 2504 / Assign SSID To Interface That Has Dynamic AP Management Enabled?

Jan 3, 2012

I am tasked with configuring a 2504 wireless controller.  Is it possible to assign an SSID to an interface that has dynamic ap management enabled?

Scenario:
Location1:
1) 10.0.0.0/24
2)192.168.0.0/24 DMZ
 Location 2:
1) 10.0.5.0
 
Both locations are routable using network 1 at each location.  However, I need to configure several access points and send them to location 2.  These access points will communicate with the controller at location 1 on network 1.  Two SSIDs will need to be on network 1 at location 1.  The other SSID will be on Network 2 at location 1.  This network is not routable.

Cisco :: 5500 WLC - AP Manager Interface On WiSM2

Oct 11, 2011

I know the WiSM 2 is like the 5500 WLC regarding the fact that you do not need to configure an ap-manager interface for CAPWAP packets because by default the managment interface acts like an ap-manager interface.
 
Any major advantages or disadvantages by letting the default action occur?

Alternative Wireless Connection Manager?

Mar 13, 2012

i have met connection problems (mainly with xp)where a laptop always have problem connecting to a secured wifi connection that has higher encryption than wep (wpa - wpa2).In general after a few tests . I am almost sure that it is xp's Wireless Zero Configuration's problem.I am wondering if there is alternatives to WZC that does not require their own brand's device to run a 3rd party Wireless Connection Manager.I am not looking for a model specific software either ,

Examples are:

toshiba connect me
tp link connection utility
intel's mobile

Cisco Wireless :: WLC 5508 And Multiple AP-Manager Interfaces?

Jan 3, 2012

I have a 5508-WLC appliance and configured multiple ap-manager interfaces to balance the join request from LAPs and the load.I went to console port from some LAPs and saw that there was that balance among multiple ap manager interfaces (Dynamic AP Management Interfaces). Then we torn down one of the ap manager interfaces and confirmed that the LAPs were moved to next ap manager interface automatically.But the question here is, how can I verify which ap-manager interface was used for a LAP from the WLC via GUI or CLI ??  or how can I see the amount of APs joined using that ap manager interface from WLC ?

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: Ae3000 - No Wifi Manager

Jun 6, 2012

Recently upgraded home router to Linksys EA3500 and a AE3000 Adapter for my laptop. Laptop is Dell Inspiron 1705 (yeah, it's old) running XP SP3. the adapter's drivers installed properly from the supplied CD as it negotiates and connects with the new router. However, there is NO Linksys Wireless Manager. It appears it was not installed at all. I can find no folder in Program Files named either Cisco or Linksys nor anything new in the Programs list. Is there a Linksys Wireless Manager included on the CD that should have installed?
 
Can I download it separately and install?I've disabled the built-in Dell wi-fi radio with came with an Intel ProSet wireless manager. Would REALLY like to have a new wireless manager that works well with the new adapter. Am going on vacation tomorrow and will have to deal with new and different access points, hotels, etc.

WMP600N - Wireless Network Adapter Not Showing Up In Device Manager For PC

Sep 13, 2012

I'm trying to install my WMP600N wireless adapter. It's not showing up in my device manager. The thing is I've installed it in the past and ran into some driver issue which made me give up. But it showed up in device manager before so I know it's not a dead card. Right now, plug and play isn't working. How do I get a Wireless Connection to show up in my device manager? This is for my PC. I also have a couple drivers I could use but I don't know how to install them because they are not exe files. I can't select upgrade drivers because the network adapter isn't showing up in the first place.

I have tried unplugging and replugging, and also scanning for hardware changes in device manager.

Sony Vaio VGNFW378D - Wireless Network Adapter Is Missing From Device Manager

Aug 22, 2011

I have a Sony Vaio VGNFW378D that runs with Windows Vista. Ever since I got this computer (about 2 yrs ago), I have had problems with it suddenly disconnecting from the internet. When this happens it could never detect any wireless networks and I would have to restart the computer to temporarily solve the problem. It usually happened after the computer was in hibernation.

Yesterday this happened again, only this time restarting the computer did not solve the problem. When I could not connect to a network I clicked on "Diagnose why Windows cannot find any additional networks" and it said "Install wireless networking hardware, and verify that the correct drivers are loaded".

I went onto the Sony website to download the Intel Wifi link 5100 AGN wireless LAN Driver and updates. The download was not successful and I received a message indicating that the latest updates of this driver were already installed in my computer.

Representatives at Sony only directed me to links that had steps to finding out what my problem was, which I followed with no success. Most of the steps included enabling the adapter in the device manager, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, etc...I could not do any of these things because the driver does not appear in the device manager at all.

Example:

AP 2 -> WLC 2
AP 3 -> WLC 1
 
Since the buildings also broadcast in different SSID. The two controllers are in a mobility group.
