Cisco Wireless :: Comparison Of Features In Wi-Fi LAN Controller 2500 And 4400?
Jul 27, 2011
give me the run down on the features removed from the 4400 series in the 2500 series? Obviously 4400 is now EOL, and so i cannot purchase new. Therefore I was looking at the 2500 for my implementation to save costs also.I would like to have two SSID's, running seperate VLAN's, one voice, one guest, trunk the link to the AP's, which will be 1131AG or newer, N possibly. Voice needs to be encrypted with WPA or WPA2, guest needs to be open using the guest access feature. Here's a sample but with EAP:
[URL]
Is this supported to have WPA on one SSID and Guest access on the other? i did spot a paragraph in the 4400 manual stating that certain restrictions apply regarding one SSID having encryption and the other being guest mode?I notice also in the WCS documentation, it doesn't explicitly state it supports the 2500 series under the managed devices section?

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?

I am having trouble adding a new controller(2500) to the WCS.
-My WCS version 6.0.196.0
-My WLC version 7.0.116.0
If i upgrade my WCS i may add the new contoller? Even if in cisco DATA-SHEET there isnt any mention regarding this WLC(basicly it says that the WCS does not support this WLC)
Monitoring and migration of selected Cisco Aironet standalone (autonomous) access points. Monitoring of the standalone access points of Cisco 800, 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers.

I am developing CAP1602I & 2500 Controller.The CAP1602I-E-K9 can't register with the 2500 controller. [code] logging appears: capwap can't process uncryped data..I even didn't configure capwap on CAP1602.May I know if CAP1602 doesn't support LWAPP? Why LWAPP doesn't work?According to the logging, I also tried to configure the "Data Encryption" on 2500 controller ( according to 7.0.116.0 guide)
"Cisco 2500, WiSM2, WLC2—By default, these platforms do not contain DTLS. To turn on data DTLS, you must install a license. These platforms have a single image with data DTLS turned off. To use data DTLS you will need to have a license."Note If your controller does not have a data DTLS license and if the access point associated with the controller has DTLS enabled, the data path will be unencrypted. I should purchase a license? or, if I can configure the CAP1602I to don't encrypt data?

I have a Cisco 2500 Wireless Controller connected and controlling 5 Cisco AP's. Everything works fine except one device.
This device is used to connect to our AP wirelessly and then any of the wireless laptops can use programming software to connect to the device and program through it. I can successfully set up our device on the network and all PCs can ping it, but the programming software refuses to connect to it. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with the device people who assure me its the network. So, I bought in a cheap Linksys router, hooked one laptop up to it and configured the device wirelessly. With that, the programming software works.
what should I be looking for in the Wireless Controller that may be blocking direct connection to the device even though I can ping it?

We are currently using a Cisco 2500 (licensed for 50 AP's) WLAN Controller. There has been a lot of issues setting up the VOCERA wireless badges, thats on going. The question I have is all the AP's are showing as being on Channel 6, it was thought that the controller would learn the enviroment and move these to none overlapping channels, but has not. Is this right should they all be on the same channel and not 1, 6, 11 accordingly? it is also worth mentioning that the controller can see 61 rogue AP's, yes that is 61 other wireless networks!

We have recently installed Cisco for our wireless solution. We are an education and are looking to let staff and pupils bring their own devices. The route that we are planning to take to let them join the school's WiFi is to implement a RADIUS server so that they can authenticate with their Active Directory username and password. I have tried to test the solution but so far without any success. I am using a Windows Server 2008 R2 as my NPS server, I have setup the Cisco controller as per below:
Security Tab | RADIUS | Authentication - I added my windows server there and the preshared key, the Network User and Management is ticket and the server responds to a ping command,In the WLANs Tab, I selected my test WLAN and under Security | AAA Servers I selected the RADIUS server that I configured in the Security TabI then try to logon to my test WLAN and on the Cisco WLAN controller I get the following error: AAA Authentication Failure for UserName:test User Type: WLAN USER
Before trying to tinker with policies on the Windows Server I was wondering if the RADIUS is correctly setup on the Controller or have I missed something obvious?

We have a Cisco 2500 WLC with 136 APs. Recently, we discovered eight APs that were not listed on the Wireless > Access Points > All AP list. These APs were once working and connected, but now they are no longer in the All AP list. I located one of these APs and found the green LED blinking. I power cycled the AP and it came back online with a solid green LED and was then registered on the All AP list. The All AP list will only show the connected APs. I would like to know if there is a method to show the APs that were once connected and are no longer registered so we can better identify when an AP is not working?

I have a Cisco Series 4400 WLAN controller and I'm trying to connect a lightweight AP to the controller. I have already assigned the switch port to use my wi-fi VLAN, and have connected the AP to the switch. After a few minutes, the light on the AP goes from green to light blue (indicating it's serving clients). When I log into he wi-fi controller to look for the Ethernet mac address of the new AP, I do not see its Mac Address. I want to be able to rename the AP to reflect where it will be used, but need to select the AP via its Ethernet mac address before I can make any edits like changing its name etc. I've gone through the "monitoring" menu, selected "All" and still do not see it in their via its MAC address. I also will select the "wireless menu" which lists all the AP's on my network, listing in order from on the longest running, to just powered on.Is there something I'm missing like a "re-scan" that scan's all devices?

I'm looking for a document that states the best practices for WLC configurations (Management/Security/AP's..etc). I can currently only find the following document:URL
But this document has last been updated in 2008, in a few days that's almost 5 years ago, and we all know how quickly technology is evolving. 10Gb wireless is around the corner, with 1GB starting to go production now. This document also mentions the 4400 (which is end of life).

I've download a login.html into the controller successfully, but when I preview the page there isn't an accept button. Do I need to create the accept button with the html file or is there some place I need to enable on the controller itself. After download the .tar file I reboot the controller but no luck. I also create a java script button redirect but it didn't redirect to where I needed to go. It just stuck on the splash page.

I have a customer whom has six LAP1131AG-K9 but no controller and they are interested in one of the new 2500 series, specifically a AIR-CT2504-5-K9 with a 5 AP add-on license to bring total AP capacity to 10. I can't determine clearly if this controller will work for these older AP's prior to them making the jump to 802.11n via the 3500 or 3600 series, looking to the community to confirm.

I read the configuration guide about the 7.3 release. And I figured out that you will need a hash key for establishing a mobility group relation between a controller and a virtual controller. The 7.3 release for the 5500 series works fine for me.But the latest release 7.0.235.0 for the wireless lan controller series 4400 does not have a functionality to add a hash key while creating a new mobility group member.The command "config mobility group member hash" is totally missing. How to establish a mobility group between a 4400 controller and a virtual then ?

I want to configure a Cisco Wireless Lan Controller (4400 and 5500 series) with to data ports for failover? I think the primary and secondary ethernet connections should be configured as trunks. I cannot find anything on CCO about this or on the internet per se. I know how to configure for failover with APs but cannot find anything on how to configure the controller in case an the ethernet port goes down.

We are facing an issue with a customer where a Cisco 4400 Series controller is blocking the 802.11a/n Radio Interface of a 1250 AP. The radio shows as down on the controller GUI. The error message on the GUI is that the 'Regulatory Domain' is not supported. This can be seen from the attached screenshot. Also relevant parts of the WLC configs are attached. WLC: Cisco 4402 WirelessWLC Country: SADevice: Cisco Lightweight Access Point 1250 (LAP) is controlled through the 4402 Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)The operating system version of the LAP: c1250-k9w8-mx.124-18a.JA version of the WLC: Software Version 5.2.178.0 The problem is that the controller shows that the 802.11a/n Radio Interface in Radio Slot # 1 is always down , the customer tried to manually 'no shut' the AP interface from the console and it worked , but obviously this solution would not work as the configuration cannot be saved (LW AP).

We have a Cisco 4400 series wireless controller deployed as a Guest Anchor in a private DMZ. We have 13 foreign controllers anchored to this for Guest Wireless. We recently anchored 17 additional controllers to this Anchor controller. Since we have done that, periodically on just 3 of the foreign controllers, the control path shows down on the mobility peer, then comes back up. We have had this issue in the past, but it resolved itself. However, now we are seeing this issue again. Are we reaching a limit on EoIP tunnels? I have read that there is a max of 71, and that is per controller, not SSID. We do have a firewall in the middle but all necessary ports are open.
We have had this issue for quite sometime, it just does not happen frequently. Since we have added the additional controllers, it is now happpening very often, but only with 3 controllers. There is not much in common with these 3 controllers. 2 are 4400 series, and 1 is a 5508. All 3 are local on a campus LAN, different networks. Could it have anything to do with memory or utilization?

I recently upgraded our controllers to the latest version 7 software, as I read this was one of the requirements to get them to connect. But I am not having any luck getting into a controller. Normally I plug them in to the network, they pop into the controller listed as something like AP5057.a844.xxxx and then I can finish configuring them, but a static IP on them, etc. This is the first of this model AP I have tried to deploy, so I am wondering what is different with these. or what I might be missing in the default config in the WLAN controllers. Niether of which are set to "Master" either.

when I did connect the AP to the switch and this is already connected to the WLAN 2500, I got this error message [code] And this AP is not joined to the WLAN 2500, but if I use one model of AP like LAP1120 it works, that mean, the wireless is able to see the Ip Address.How can I do to correct the problem with the AP 3600 series?

I setup cisco wireless controller 2500 connecting 2 Aironet APs, with windows 2008 NPS as radius server (server certificate installed), via
[WPA2][Auth(802.1X)], MAC Filtering
Now I have domain computer (laptop) connected to SSID which provides direct to the LAN dhcp server. That means my notebook got same ip range as when it connected to LAN.
The user used cached domain logon info to logon the computer, then the wireless profile started to connect with radius server which has User group policy.
Problem is the notebook (logon as normal domain user) browse \"domain name" or any \hostname will take 10 mins or more to pop up with "enter network password" or sometimes "The specified netwrok name is no longer avail". However ever if I simply \192.168.2.x which is the host's ip address, I got list of share folders instantly.
And when I disable the wireless and connect to the LAN cable, I had no problem to browse any shared folders.

We have two 4400 WLC's. We have around 20 access points in our network.If we assign controller1 as primary for half of the access points and controller 2 as primary for the other half, does this mean the association of the ap's indicate load balancing by the controllers. Does this mean wlc does load balancing as different ap's associate on different controllers. or does it only server as active-standby wlc.

I have a couple 3600s that don't want to join. One i and one e that are both doing the something. It is able to find the controller via layer 3 discovery but it is acting like it is a mesh AP when it tries to join the controller.
From the 2500 controller (running 7.2)
*spamApTask2: May 13 12:03:05.272: f0:f7:55:ae:xx:xx Mesh AP username f0f755aexx xx.
*spamApTask2: May 13 12:03:10.739: f0:f7:55:ae:xx:xx spamProcessJoinRequest : RA
P, Check MAC filter
From the 3602i
flash:/mesh_start_cfg.txt: No such file or directory. The filesystem containing the variables may not be initialized yet.
I should note that 3500 APs are able to join this controller. The field guy is going to try to add the MAC address to the filter list when he gets back out on site to see if it allows it to join.

have a Dell Poweredge 2500, and it only has PCI slots, and i need to get a sata controller to add 1/2 drives to it, i am unsure what would be the best, but i am not looking to spend more than 60 or so for it, i am not worried about it being the greatest out there, as this server is going to be replaced in 6 mths, i am just outgrowing the 4-18.6 gig hot swap scsi drives, and my pockets arent deep enough to buy high capacity scsi drives, i will probably add 1, 1 or 2 Terabyte hard drive and a dvd-rw.

I know how to access the GUI from the service port. However, I am not able to access from Port 0. IPs have all been properly set. We have a management VLAN in our enterprise. I have configured the WLC management interface for an ip on that subnet. Port 0 is connected to a 3560G switch. I have set the switch port to be an access port to the management vlan and I have tried to set the switch port as a trunk, with the native vlan set to the management vlan. I am not able to ping nor access the web GUI remotely via the management vlan.
