Cisco Wireless :: DHCP In 5508 / Change WLC User Accounts Password Too?
Jul 24, 2012
I just get to hands-on on my new WLC 5508?
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've got a WLC5508 (7.0.116.0) that is managed by WCS (7.0.172.0). I set up another WLC5508 with the same code and managed by the same WCS. Now I'd like to export all the 800 guest user accounts with the passwords from the old WLC and import them into the new WLC.
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.
Need To Change The user and pw.I have done it before and it was very simple but we are currently staying at her parents house and I tryed entering the default ip on the bottom on the router into 3 different browsers and the configuration didn't appear so I reset the router and now there is no password on it and I still can not Get into the configuration.
On the ACS ver5, there is a "User Change Password" feature. When i click the UCP WSDL, it gives me a page with WSDL language. how is it supposed to be installed? does it copy or install to any web server
Is there a way to configure a webpage where end users would go to change their passwords? I would not like to use the network devices themselves with the "change password at next logon" option.
I believe ACS 4.2 has such solution. Does 5.2 have it too?
I can not setup a new user, or access wireless networks that show on my laptop had a virus and the shop said they removed it but the network has not worked since it a dell inspiron 1525
We are planning to setup a new WLAN using Cisco 2504 WLAN Controller and 1142N Access Point.Is it possible to create individual user accounts for the users those who all are connecting to this WLAN Network by using the 2504 WLAN Controller ?
How do I setup remote login that would allow 3 or 4 people to login to the same computer.Each person would have their own Windows User Account name, with different privileges.I don't know what software could do this. The computer being connected to would be Windows 7, and there is no special network equipment besides a consumer router.

We recently switched from Centennial aircard to Verizon aircard (USB760) for our laptop. We have two user accounts on our windows 7 pc. With Centennial we could switch between user accounts without closing sierra wireless manager but when I switch to another user now, a message comes up saying vzaccess manager running in another account and we cannot use the internet until we have shut it down in the account it is running in - which is a pain. I have tried right clicking vzaccess manager in all programs and it does not have a share option. I also went to properties under vzaccess manager and found a setting to share and set it up but it still will not share

I have the RV220W and we are mainly using PPTP for VPN access. I can not add more than 9 PPTP VPN user acounts. When I go to add a tenth account the interface just hangs and stops responding. I can delete a user and then add another user and this works fine. I can also add other types of VPN users.
(WLC 4400) which enables employees to browse to a custom made webpage, where they can create an account for company vistors to access the internet. It's important for the employees not use any login credentials, they arrive on a webpage where they specify the login & password which the vistor will enter to browse the internet. Is there any good link to documention about this topic?
I am in the process of upgrading a client's firewalls from 5520s to 5525-Xs. I have 2 independent firewalls that are merging into a single firewall. Both of the source ones have a TON of user accounts defined for remote user VPN, is there any way to move these user accounts with passwords in tact?? The goal is not to have to tell the 250+ users that they need to reset their passwords at once.
I was looking at an XP system that has 4 user accounts. Two are limited accounts and two are admin accounts. The adapter is a DLINK DWA-125 USB adapter.When logged into one of the admin accounts, internet works fine. When logged into one of the limited accounts, internet works fine.If I switch to either of the other accounts, the adapter can't get an IP address. If I switch back to one of the accounts that works, I get an IP right away.
So what we do when we get new laptops, we "prime" it by connecting to the lan via a cable, name the machine and join the domain. This way it automatically gets the certificate and is a domain member. After logging on at least once via a cable, we can then disconnect it and join the wireless network.
During a routine audit, they suggest also using MAC address filtering. I think this is overkill and an administrative nightmare. To manage MAC address filtering on the 5508 and then also manage the domain accounts is unnecessary. Also down the road we want to offer a segregated public hotspot (webauth), and I'm not sure if MAC address filtering would affect that or not.
I've read that MAC address filtering is pretty much useless, because it's so easy to change your mac address even in Windows device manager. I know I was able to do it as a test.
is MAC address filtering worth the hassle to implement and manage? Or is our current layered security approach enough?
I have a user authentication issue with our WLAN deployment. My issue relates to the guest access WLAN. First a brief descrition of our setup. We have a local WLC in the branch office (5508) with two SSIDs configured, CorpNet for the internal network and GuestNet of external guest access. We also have a WLC (5508) in the DMZ to provide the guest access. We are using Cisco ISE server to authenticate guest users via a web portal.
The authentication process works as it should. An external client gets an IP in the DMZ and is redirected to the web portal to authenticate their account. When they do they are able to access and browse the internet. No problems. My issue is that if we disable their account (ie suspend or delete it) in ISE it does not seem to terminate the users session and they can continue to have internet access. What I would like to happen is that when the account is disabled in ISE then the associated device's access to the internet is removed.
i have configured wlc 2504 .in that i have configured two interfaces.one is guest, 2nd is internal user, the pblm when user try to connect with that contain ssid user not getting ip address,
i have connected only one link between core to wlc on port 1.for guest interface i used port 4.but no physical link.
In my Wireless network, I have two appliances WLC 5508 running version 7.0.116.0.I have a WCS running version 7.0.172.0, deployed on a windows 2003 server.I've imported the two WLCs in my WCS in order to centralize the monitoring and the configuration tasks.Now I'm facing an issue when I want to create a guest user from the WCS, rather than creating this user access on each WLC. The creation of the user account is working good, the replication is done on the both WLCs, but on one of my WLC the guest user account is deleted after one hour(around).On the second WLC, the same user account remains during all its life time.In attachment a screen shot of the advanced parameter of the guest user.You can see that the user was created on the both WLC but is only active on one ... and unfortunately the wrong because the AP is associated with the other WLC.
how to set WLC 5508 to allow single create web authentication user account to get connected in a same time. i found that i can use the same username and password combo to be login in 2 machine in the same time.
I work at a campus and use the WCS to control access to my network for staff and only internet access for students. The Staff are assigned Username/password thru active directory and the student uses another SSID with only WPA --a password for all. I was tasked with adding more securing for students -- by adding a user/password. I do not want them connecting to my Active Directory for two reason--security risk and I have too many to input (over 1000). So, I wanted to use our internal database to validate users. I create a webpage with "WebAuth" that opens my logon page from my site and validates the login fields against the database. It works and this allows the user to navigate thru my website but not outside the site. If they try an outside url it redirect them to my logon script. I now understand why, so I'm looking for code I can add to my logon page that would allow me to redirect me to the controller's (once users are authenticated by my database) to call the WCS controller so I can enter a preset username/password so the policy management file would allow them access. I presently use "External" and don't know if "Custom" would work. Finding a way in using a database instead of adding one person at a time?
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.
