Cisco Wireless :: Mesh And Flexconnect With WLC5508?

Apr 4, 2013

A customer have a bad coverage in a corner of his branch office. He like to add a mesh AP (MAP) in the near of that corner.
 
I checked allready the documention about Mesh but i'm not sure if Flexconnect and Mesh works togheter. This MAP is in a branch office and the WLC is in the head quarter therefore he likes to uses Flexconnect togheter with Mesh.

Cisco Wireless :: Integrate ISE And WLC5508 With FlexConnect (local Switching) Using EAP-TLS Security?

Nov 29, 2012

I need to integrate Cisco ISE and WLC5508 with FlexConnect (local switching) using EAP-TLS security for wireless clients across multiple floors (dynamic VLAN assignments based on floor level). The AP model used is 3602.

- What RADIUS Attribute can be used for dynamic VLAN assignments based on floor level? Is there an option where I can group all LWAPs in same floor for getting certain VLAN from ISE?

- I intend to use WLC software version 7.2 since 7.3 is latest version. Has someone use WLC software version 7.3 without any major bugs/issues pertaining to FlexConnect and EAP-TLS?

- I read some documents saying L3 roaminig is where the associated WLC has changed. However if user move to different subnet but still associated to the same WLC, would this be consider as L3 roaming too?

Cisco Wireless :: WLC5508 Crap Throughput On MESH

Oct 14, 2012

I have two WLC5508 controllers running 7.0.230.0, which having the two of them probably is inconsequential because all the APs are added to only one controller. The problem I'm facing is that I have several LAP1552E's deployed throughout my facility, and I have several that are doing Ethernet bridging to some Cisco switches using G0. In this, I have a PC at the end of one of these switches, and using Iperf and PingPlotter to get some metrics, and what I'm seeing is >400ms latency with <3 Mbit throughput to the PC. On the 802.11a radios I have 18 Mbit set as mandatory, with everything below disabled and everything above Supported, with all MCS indexes under 802.11n enabled.

My channel is set to 161 with a 40 MHz channel-width, and a power of 3 configured.After many days of trying different power settings, channel settings, and such, I can't get better results than above and my channel utilization stays > 75% at all times. I do have video cameras attached to the other bridges switches, and have video QoS set to Bronze and the cameras configured to ~ 1 Mbit bandwidth maximum. Also, average RAP-MAP distance is ~ 1100 ft and average MAP-MAP distance is 400 ft, with the longest RAP-MAP being 1400 ft and MAP-MAP distance being 875 ft.

Cisco Wireless :: WLC5508 Required For Outdoor Mesh Configuration?

Jan 3, 2012

I want to start implementing a small outdoor mesh network of 3 APs Aironet 1550 in order to grow afterward with more APs. Is there any way to configure those 3 APs in an outdoor mesh configuration (for example, only one RAP and two MAPs) without a Wireless LAN Controller or I have to have at least, one WLC? My idea is to have a WLC 5508, but at the very beginning I don't know if my budget is gonna allow me to cost the WLC.

Cisco Wireless :: 2504 WLC / Flexconnect APs Stopped Joining?

May 12, 2013

A customer of mine has a centralized 2504 WLC with 7.2 code running.  They have 1142N APs deployed locally as well as in remote sites (3) in FlexConnect mode.  For no apparent reason last Thursday all the remote APs disassociated with the controller and could not rejoin.  All the local APs remained up and unaffected.No changes to the WLAN, LAN, Firewall or MPLS WAN occured to cause this.The customer opened a TAC case and their determination was that ports 5246-5247 were not getting thru.  When the customer engaged me this morning I had him run a packet capture on the Sonicwall firewall to prove out if the CAPWAP signals were leaving and returning across the WAN.  Sure enough we can see this bi-directional traffic (pic attached).  Also, I had the MPLS provider run a trace at the far end and they see the same traffic leave the remote site.  And then an odd thing happened; one of the APs at one of the remote sites all of a sudden Joined the controller.  So I tried rebooting the AP that is located in the same office, and it fails to Join.  When I look on the controller under AP Join statistics, the last activity shows the controller receiving a Discovery Request and response is sent, but no further Config Request and response or Join Request and response.

Cisco Wireless :: 1242 - FlexConnect Client Connectivity

May 31, 2013

However, I now have a number of devices... certain smartphones so far... that will NOT connect to a FlexConnect AP if it's a 1262AGN AP, but my older 1242G AP will accept the devices without issue. Same SSID, same encryption standards.
 
If I connect the devices to my guest network (no security), they will connect just fine to both APs, and Non-FlexConnect 1242 and 1262 APs will both accept the devices without issue using my private network.
 
In other words, it seems to be an issue specific to 1262AGN with my encryption security. My security is WPA2/AES with PSK. No additional security on the SSID.

Cisco Wireless :: 3600 - Use FlexConnect In Same Network Where WLC Located?

Feb 3, 2013

I want to use the flexconnect in the same network where the wlc is located. Normally we will do it for over WAN and branch office. But I want to use in the same main office to avoid more bandwidth utilization on my distribution layer. Wlc is connected on Distribution switch.I want to do local switching in the access layer switch.
 
The below is the sample topology. But real topology contains nearly 200 AP's(3600 series) and 20 access switches and so on.....So there is a chance of 200 AP * 350 Mbps can flow on the distribution layer.So ,
 
1)If I use flexconnect any issues will be occuring?

2)Does it cause any impact on VOWLAN?

Cisco Wireless :: WLC 2504 FlexConnect Loose Connectivity With GW

Nov 29, 2012

I have one WLC 2504 with 7.3.101.0 code and 4 APs 1142 in Flexconnect mode all of them are in one group with 2 SSIDs in two differents VLAN:
 
-Admin VLAN 151
-Corporate VLAN 158
-Guest VLAN 159
-The auth is 802.1x using an ACS ver 4.2
 
I connect my Laptop to the corporate SSID and start to have access to web services, intranet services, etc but arround 15 25 min after i connect i lost connectivity to my GW and all the services but i still have my IP info. I do some tests on MAC books, Laptop with Windows XP, 7 and 8 and its the same for all. I config one switch port in the corporate VLAN and i never loose connectivity.
 
If i reset the WLAN connection all start to works.The ports in the SW are in trunk mode and almost always the APs are in connect mode.

Cisco Wireless :: 5508 / FlexConnect Compatibility With Access Point

Apr 22, 2013

Subject: FlexConnect compatibility with Access Point? We have today one Cisco 5508 and those access point on remote sites

o CISCO AIR-LAP-1131AG-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1231G-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1142N-E-K9
 
We plan to use redundancy on the controller and implement Flexconnect on the remote site. What we need to know is if I can implement Flexconnect on all actual access point - I think it is possible on 1142N + 1131G but do not know on 1231AG - is it correct or I'm wrong ? We plan to install the latest SW version for 5508 controller.

Cisco Wireless :: 5508 / AP Flexconnect - Switch Port Configuration?

Jul 23, 2012

I have found some samples on the FlexConnect setup for the controller side. However none of the documents mentioned how the switch port should be configured that goes to the controller and AP.
 
At this moment I have a Cisco 5508 configured in CAPWAP mode with 20 APs. I would like to use same controller for connecting one of the remote sites with 2 APs in FlexConnect mode. Current the 5508 to switch port is configured as 802.1Q port. All CAPWAP AP ports are configured as "switchport access vlan X" where X=capwap VLAN. Need to know how the switch port should be set for the remote site where flexconnect APs connect.

Cisco Wireless :: WLC 8500 / Sticky Key Caching Flexconnect Access Points?

Jun 13, 2013

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.

Cisco Wireless :: 2602 Check Box Under Wlan For FlexConnect Local Authentication

Apr 4, 2013

I have several 2602 AP's that I want to operate in FlexConnect mode.  The WLC is at a central HQ and the Ap's are remote.  There are central radius servers at the HQ for the wlans.  At the remote lcoation, there is a local radius server we want to use for the primary radius server for these AP's.   This radius server has been added to the WLC.  I have setup a FlexConnect Group, designated the the primary and secondary servers, and then added the AP's to the group.  It does not look like radius requests are being sent to the local controller.
 
For this to work, do we have to check the box under the wlan for FlexConnect Local Auth?  Currently, we only have FlexConnect local switching selected.

Cisco Wireless :: WLC5508 - Backup WLC Across A WAN?

Jan 29, 2013

Currently we have 20 remote sites, each with 2-5 AP's each. They all connect back to our Main Data Site in the US and register on a single WLC5508.

We do not have a backup WLC, but are looking to purchase one. What I would like to know is, are there any problems with the secondary WLC being installed in our Main Data Site in Europe? These two main sites are connected via a 10M MPLS WAN.
 
So all the remote sites could still connect to the WLC in the US, but in the event of a WLC failure in the US, they would need to fail over to the site in Europe

Cisco Wireless :: Several Remote Sites And Centralized WLC5508

Nov 8, 2011

I have been asked to setup wireless and we have purchased WLC 5508 and 1142 APs.We have several remote sites and a  centralized WLC.  The requirement are to have a common SSID  (Corporate) advertised across all the remote sites and have that SSID locally switched, and have another two SSID Guest and Mobile tunneled back to the central site (WLC).I want all the wireless (Corporate) clients to use the same subnet as the wired clients at each remote site, the IP assigment will be done by a DHCP server at the central site. The Guest and Mobile users will use a common subnet each across all the site and this will also be handled by the DHCP server at the central site.
 
I have enabled H-REAP with Centralized  Authentication and Local switching but I'm not sure about the second  part which is to have a common SSID (Corporate) across the remote sites and localy switched whilst having the other two SSIDs tunneled back to the WLC. Cisco TAC told me to configure dynamic interfaces for each of the remote site but then he said I still wouldn't be able to switch the Corporate traffic localy if I use a different subnet to the wired subnet for the wireless clients.
