How many AP in h-reap mode recommend with WAN link 512k ?,i have read in document it show h-reap mode must requirement minimum link is 128k for connect to wlc but i don't know this requirement for 1 ap or all ap to connect across WAN to register and send traffic across WAN. Because now i have 2 site HQ -> Branch (link 512k) it can use for this solution.

I have been having an issue with random AP3602I's in HREAP mode disassociating from the 5508 controller. These AP's are in remote offices with 70Mb WAN back to the controller. Randomly one or two AP's disassociate from the controller and I have to bounce the switchport to bring them back online. The WLC is running 7.2. Again this only occurs to one or two AP's not all of the AP's.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a trouble to implement dynamic QoS between two sites (Site A, and site B) across low speed WAN link (512k). On each site I have Cisco 1921 router. Most important app is Oracle. Because of slow speed WAN links, I want to avoid exact bandwith reservation for Oracle. I only reserve 5% bandwith for network control(icmp, ssh, telnet...) and want configure next Qos scenario:
1. If Oracle traffic exist on a network, it must have 70% of link speed guaranteed, all other apps (e.g mail, file share, ftp) use rest of the bandwith.
2. If there isn't Oracle traffic on a network, all other apps can use all available bandwith.
Issue descrtption:I used all Cisco guides, but when I implemented this on production it simply didn't work. There is no any significant improvement after implementing this (when I start network file sharing accross wan link, Oracle becomes etremly slow.).Here is configuration wich I trying to implement:
ACL-s and class-maps used to mark traffic:
access-list 119 remark ###QoS-MGMT###
access-list 119 permit tcp any any eq 22
access-list 119 permit tcp any any eq telnet
access-list 119 permit icmp any any
access-list 120 remark ###QoS-DB_ORA###

I have a wireless network with two WLC 5508 controllers and 220 LWAPs in the same location as the controllers. All APs are currently in local mode. I run a few guest networks as well as some other client networks. One client in particular uses their network to connect mobile machines to their VLAN. The only issue is that the machines do not have wireless adapters. Instead, the manufacturer put inside the chassis, a D-Link WGB, which has an ethernet cable, you then have to plug into the ethernet port. These devices cannot seem to connect to the network. I have found, the WGBs do associate on the network, but the wired client behind it cannot pass traffic onto the VLAN. I have also tried connecting PCs with different SOHO style WGBs from different manufacturers with the same result.
After going through Cisco's documentation, I found that using 1230s in WGB mode can resolve this issue since they use IAPP to communicate the MAC table of the wired side clients they service back to the controller. I have configured a 1230, and used it as the WGB for the client machine instead of the D-Link and it does seem to work, but this would mean configuring a considerable number of 1230s to hand over to the client.
The first question would be, Is there something I am missing that I would need to do in order to allow SOHO style WGBs to forward wired side client traffic onto the network while LWAPs are in local mode? Or would the WGB NEED to support IAPP?
The second question is that, I may have found another solution to this already, but would like some input prior to committing.
This client also uses these same machines with the same WGBs inside the chassis at another location where the client operates the network themselves. They also use the same WLC model with the same version, and same APs. The only difference is that they use H-REAP mode with local switching.
I also tested this idea, and it seemed to work. With the AP in H-REAP mode, and the client's WLAN set to local switching, the machine and WGB connected with no problem.
So the question with this, would be; would there be any disadvantages in running all 220 APs at this location in H-REAP mode? What would I be losing if anything? Also, I would like to keep all other WLANs centrally switched.
I understand what the difference would be for this client's WLAN if I ran in H-REAP mode with local switching, but what would the difference be in the other guest WLANs if I set them to be centrally switched? (Is there any difference between running APs in local mode vs running APs in H-REAP with central switching?)
I have quick question about wlc software version upgrade : currect version of 5500 WLC : 7.0.220.0,However i am planning to upgrade to version 7.2.110.0,currectly all remote site AP's are connected to this WLC , nearly 150 AP's all are in H-reap mode however once i upgrade to 7.2.110.0 version , all default should come into Flexconnect mode.Do i need to make any configuration or any changes in AP's to get Flexconnect mode or will it be default mode as Flexconnect mode in new version of WLC ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have standart wireless deployment with 24 APs (1240G model) and wireless controller 4402-25 placed on same site.Most of clients (WMS RF terminals ) works with one WLAN (WPA2-PSK) and constantly roam over warehouse , and that works great.
But for better survivability(when controller dies) we are trying to configure HREAP on our APs with local swicthed local auth WLAN. And that also work , but client roaming occur much more slowly and RDP connection to WMS APP server sometimes stuck for 2-5 sec.Disabling "local switching" checkbox for WLAN make roaming almost momental.
And slow roaming are price for controllerless HREAP design ? And for fast roaming and survivability we must use N+1 wlc?
I have a tale of woe for you who may be considering Hybrid REAP with local switching.
My client has a varied configuration, but the requirements basically screamed HREAP with local switching. They have 15 sites, had already purchased a single WLC 4404 and they needed between 4 and 24 APs at each of the sites. Each of these locations are connected by a WAN link of good quality, but only a single link so there is no assurance of availability; the client has local resources so it would be useful if wireless stayed working during an outage.
So I setup the WLC for HREAP local switching. I setup AP Groups VLANs, but I noticed it had no effect on the VLAN allocation for HREAP. This was unfortunate, because not every site has the same VLAN configuration - some sites had a L3 switch and others only a L2 switch. But I suffered through this and configured each AP manually with the appropriate VLAN mappings.
The infuriating thing, is now that they have bought a second WLC 4404 (they expect to increase the number of APs beyond 100) all these VLAN mappings are messed up when APs connect to the second WLC. I've been going through them one by one again - it is really unfortunate that the AP Groups VLAN mappings don't apply to HREAP local switching.
I'm going to get back to the next 80 APs - but if some of you have a system for handling the VLAN mappings of a large number of APs.
I have a Cisco 5508 setup at a host site with 3 other sites connected using hreap on 1252APs. When doing testing of network speed I find that the throughput from the wireless to wired network is at about 18mbps yet the same test on wired side is 85-100mbps and wireless to wireless is 18mbps
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm configuring AP in Hreap mode. Objective for me is th have a "plug & play" installation method for HREAP. I configure on HREAP AP, Native VLAN set to 1 and the WLAN and Vlan mapping for the current wlan is set to 1 too. WLC version is 7.0.230.0 and AP version is 12.4(23c)JA4
on my cisco switch (WS-C3560-24PS with 12.2(55)SE1), the port configuration is as below:
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 45
switchport trunk allowed vlan 45,74
switchport mode trunk
no logging event link-status
no logging event power-inline-status
no snmp trap link-status
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
AP receives a DHCP IP in Vlan 45 and users connected in vlan 45 too. I would like to undestand why the AP is working properly because normally vlan 1 is not configured as allowed vlan on my switch and the native vlan is dedicated only to untagged ethernet packet.
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for a new router as my current one has packed in. I am mostly interested in a router with a fast and stable wifi and high throughput which can manage a high amount of maximum simultaneous connections. The linksys e4200 seems perfect and very well reviewed.I am currently on adsl, no cable in area, so i would need one to have an adsl modem. Is there a version with a modem? Or will i need to look around for another?
I am mainly interested in throuput and the reviews and comparison sites sugest that linksys seems perfect midway between max simultaneous connections and price. Any comparison website that has adsl routers. The information am looking for on that's between £60 and £160 with high amount of ram, high throuput for Maximum Simultaneous Connections, similar to link text
I am using a Linksys E4200V2 for my routing needs. I have 6 hardwired connections and 9 wireless connections. Due to my hardwired connections all going into one corner of my basement my router is placed there. When I had an E3000 my wireless coverage was fairly acceptable. After a power surge took out a bunch of stuff (which I have remedied with a whole home surge protector and better surge protectors for my devices) my E4200 replacement just doesn't have as good of coverage, especially in our office. This renders wireless to our phones/tablet useless in there (wife's laptop and my desktop are hard wired when in the office). I have a fairly large home so no wireless router is going to give me great coverage in my office, which is furthest from my router and has a bunch of obstructions to go through.I want to do an access point. I tried with an old Belkin Wireless G router, but it is only working when it wants to and there is probably a reason I stuff it in a box years ago. Of course I gave my other working Netgear N-router to my mom...so I'm out of wireless routers.
I want to buy something that:
- Is under $50
- Can do dual-band wireless N
- If it has Gigabit Ethernet ports that would be sweet as I could make use of them, but I can live without
- Can either repeat the wireless signal from my Linksys or be hard-wired as I have Ethernet connections all over my home. I'd suspect there would be a performance benefit from a hard wired unit.
Usage - from a hardwired perspective, I do some heavy LAN file transfers and high-bandwidth streaming on a semi-regular basis. For wireless, some random downloading (nothing time urgent), surfing and video streaming off the web is about it, and Airplay from our iOS devices (iOS stuff is only Apple stuff we have, rest is Win 7/8 and Android) with Apple TV being hardwired.
I have a T1 connection to one of my sites, I am running HREAP with 4 AP's. I have been noticing a spike in traffic from my AP's to the WLC. Even when no one is on the wireless. When you use encryption (DTLS) should this cause spikes on the T1 ?

Main Site: WLC AIR-CT5508-50-K9
WCS 6.x for 50 APs
(32 ) AP 1140
02 Remote Sites : 03 AP 1140 using H-REAP
Now, my company is considering to implement a wIPS solution, so i planned to install in the Main Site a MSE3300 and (01) AP 3500e as a wIPS AP Monitor in the remote sites,
Need to confirm:
A) Can an AP3500 work with HREAP and as wIPS monitor AP at the same time? or in other words, if it is possible to have an AP wIPS monitor far away from the WLC (over the WAN)?
B) What are the requirements of WAN link if I want to install a Centralized MSE 330 Engine,which perform the wIPS solution in all the network.
I have two sites.Main site (local) has two Vlans: Vlan1 and Vlan2. Each has its own IP address range.VLAN 1 is the default Vlan and is used for CORPorate traffic. IP range 10.33.4.*VLAN 2 is for guest access to the internet IP range 10.10.10.*I have a WLC4402 on the this site with 2 WLANs: CORP on Vlan1 and GUEST on Vlan2.
Branch site (remote) which has 2 Vlans: Vlan1 and Vlan2. Each has its own IP address range.VLAN 1 is the default Vlan and is used for CORPorate traffic. IP range 10.125.15.*VLAN 2 is for guest access to the internet IP range 10.10.11.*I have an 1141 on this site using HREAP.
Locally, if you connect to CORP, you get a CORP ip address and access to CORP network. If you connect to GUEST, you get a guest ip address and guest access to the guest network. Simple so far....
Remotely, if you connect to CORP, you get a CORP ip address 10.125.15.x and access to CORP network (great). If you connect to GUEST, you get a CORP ip address 10.125.15.x and access to CORP network (not great). This is with the HREAP native vlan ID for the access point set to 2 on the controller.If I set the native vlan ID to 1 on the controller, I can not get an IP address at all.If I do not set the native vlan ID on the controller, I can not get an IP address at all.
Trying to implement HREAP over WAN between main and remote site. The WLC4402 is on main site. There will be a secondary DHCP at the remote site. Does the switch at the remote site any preparation?

I got an ASA 5510 system currently in single context mode, with CSC SSM installed. Single ISP uplink to internet, no VPN. And now customer would like add another ISP uplink, without invest another box for HA.What come across my mind is make the current box into multi context. There's some area i need to concern and also need yours perspective on it.
Question 1: For making the firewall into multi context, am i need to do it from scratch, issue mode multiple command. Then rebuilt the current production config into one of the context, then another context meant for the new IPS uplink, and one admin context?
Question 2: For CSC -SSM licensing requirement, model ASA 5510 with security plus license is able to support 2 context. So if i split my firewall like what i mention in question, what exactly number of context do i own (admin, context A, context B)?
Question 3: For CSC-SSM module in multi context mode, so the management port of CSC SSM must attach at admin context?
Question 4: After configured all the policy and traffic to scan, how exactly i should do in order apply this policy to the interface? Should i only enable at admin context, then firewall service-policy rules, and apply it global, OR should i also do the same action on context A and Context B?
I received the following info from Cisco's TAC and wanted to inquire further before I start reconfiguring the switch:
In a redundant Sup-6E setup, the following configuration is supported :
- 1 TenGig uplink on Active Sup and 1 TenGig uplink on Standby Sup
- 1 TenGig uplink on Active Sup and 2 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup
- 2 Gig uplinks on Active Sup and 1 TenGig uplink on Standby Sup
- 2 Gig uplink on Active Sup and 2 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup
If you invoke shared backplane mode, the following configuration can also be supported:
- 2 TenGig uplinks(blocking) on Active Sup and 2 TenGig uplinks on Standby Sup
- 2 TenGig uplink(blocking) on Active Sup and 4 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup
- 4 Gig uplinks on Active Sup and 2 TenGig uplinks(blocking) on Standby Sup
- 4 Gig uplink on Active Sup and 4 Gig uplinks on Standby Sup
Here's the command and information about the "shared-backplane" mode :- [URL]
Currently, we have 2 SUP 6-Es(Module 5 - Active and Module 6 - Stand-by) setup in a redundent mode. I am planning on changing the redundent mode to the shared backplane mode so I can use 2 TenGig converters to uplink 2 access-switches. We purchased 2 TenGig converters and here is how I am planning on using them:
1- One will be used to uplink to two 3750 switches(stacked)
2- One will be used to uplink to a 2960 using a Gig SFP
My questions are:
1- Do I have to install the 2 TenGig converters(4-Gig Uplinks) in the same Module? Or can I use one one in module 5 and the second one in module 6?
2- Will changing the redundant mode to the shared backplane mode require rebooting the switch or disrupt the funtionality of the other linecards?
How can we know that 6500 and 7600 series switch and router are running in native mode or in hybrid mode.
