Cisco Wireless :: To Configure Second WLC With Primary 5508
Sep 12, 2012
I am getting little confuse about the configuration of my second WLC .I have a project going on with main office and 10 sites . I have placed my primary WLC 5508 with software 6.0 and all the branches i deployed ap . I put all the AP in Hreap mode did VLAN MAPPING . And i Created Groups based on the location and i put this AP's insde those group .All the sites seems perfectly working. Now I have to place my sedcond WLC in one another branch . I did all the initial configuration of my 2nd WLC .
But am worried if my primary wlc fail how could it can be taken to second WLC . And if i put inside wireless--> hight avaliabilty--primary ip and secondary ip .Again do i need to configure those WLAN , AP GROUPS , everythink in this WLC sepretely or any option . If i need to create the group do i need to select the ap's which already added to primary wlc groups.

I just turned on 2 Wirelless LAN Controllers 5508 and I am getting this message on both of them:
Loading primary image (Image not found)
** Unable to read "linux.pri.img" from ide 0:2 **
Loading backup image (Image not found)
** Unable to read "linux.bak.img" from ide 0:2 **
And it is taking me to the BootMenu. I selected option 4 to Clear Configuration and the controller seems to restart the system but I still get the same error. I checked the LEDs status and Sys is Amber and Alarm is OFF which according to the documentation is a System Crash.

Management purchased a HA package from Cisco consisting of 2 5508's with pre installed 500 users license on the Primary WLC and none on the secondary WLC. We have 5508's already so I am familiar with setting them up and so forth. What I am not familiar with is setting them up using HA for failover and license sharing. I've looked and looked and can't find documentation online showing how to set this up. I have found some but nothing that is complete. I have spent 2 days spinning my wheels.

We are trying to configure vrf aware GET VPN with COOP having primary and secondary key servers and also 3 GM routers. All GM routers we use are Cisco 888 and Key servers we use cisco 2911 routers. All GMs crypto maps have been applied into Vlan interface as there's no L3 interface on 888 routers.
Always members can form a tunnel with primary KS, we have configured redundancy with secondary key server and listed on each GM primary and secondary KS on GDOI group.
The issue we facing is that whenever we shutdown the primary or secondary servers the tunnel is not forming with available KS unless otherwise we mannually clear the crypto session. In another way when primary KS down it doest not fall back to secondary KS and no GM get registered. We have already played with all the timers such as DPD, SA lifetimes, GDOI rekey lifetime etc and also exchanging the keys (import/export) with KS and COOPs but there's no luck. We could see the following message was seen on both KS.
[code] 192.168.1.3 is the primary KS and 192.168.1.6 is the secondary KS.I captured attached debug output from 1 GM and secondary KS while I shutdonw the primary KS and also attached is our senario we were trying get work.
Also attached is the show output from both KSs when it form a tunnel with GM.

simple configuration of a 2801 Router. I have 2 internet providers with static ip's connected to F0/0 and F0/1 and one Vlan for LAN area. I would like to configure the router to use one primary line and just in case to use the back-up line. [code]
Now if detects that it hasn't cable link on the FastEthernet interfaces it's working. I'm using 2 wireless gateways to acces the internet each one connected on the 2 FaEth for simulating the providers. If i simulate an issue on the provider ( i've removed the sim from the wireless gateway) it doesn't pass on the second isp.I haved trying to configure with "IP Service Level Agreements " for failover / load balancing but the command "ip sla" is incomplete. I can't make an update of the IOS because the customer do not have an Service Contract with Cisco.

Can we configure the wireless controller 5508 to authenticate the clients using both of MAC address Filtering (layer 2 security) and Web authentication (layer 3 security). and what is the difference between (Web policy --> authentication) and (Web policy --> on MAC filter failure)

How are certain settings/config transfered across to the AP's from the WLC, e.g. username and passwords, snmp strings etc.... I assume this is when the AP joins the WLC.More to the topic of the original question I had in mind, is it possible and if so, how? - to configure snmp read and write string from the WLC and push this config out to AP's. I can't believe someone will have to sit down (me) and SSH to 150+ AP's per WLC to configure SNMP.
One of the buildings lost connectivity to the WLC's breifly a couple of days ago and all seemed to have lost their SNMP settings. Connectivity was restored, but couldnt poll the APs. When I SSH'd on to a couple of AP's, and manually configured the snmp-server community xxxx ro - SNMP started working again. Since there are many, there must be an easier way of doing it.I've tried resetting the AP from the WLC and also powering down AP's and bringing them back up.
Using WLC 5508 on 7.4.100
Using AP's 2602 on IOS 15.2(2)JB$

I have been unable to get IPSec working between my WLC 5508 and a server 2008 NPS radius server. Any luck configuring this? I have opened tickets with both Microsoft and Cisco, but so far have not been able to configure it properly.

Is there any way to configure a wired guest network with a combination of 5508 and 2504 wireless controllers? I am aware that the 2504 does not have wired guest functionality, however is it possible to set up a wired guest on the 5508 and using mobility anchors, transmit the l2 information through eoip to communicate with the remote vlan?Home built NAC solution, using 802.1x authentication on switchports for public areas. If user is an employee, communicates with the supplicant on their machine, and places them on an internal vlan.If user is a guest, user fails 802.1x check and is placed on a "guest" vlan with an ACL and external DNS.If placed on the guest vlan, the user has to accept a terms of use form.This is working currently with our 5508s without any issue, however we have some remote offices we'd like to roll this out to that are using 2504 controllers. I'm hoping there's a way that I can use the 5508 as an anchor or vice versa to make this work.

I am trying to configure my ACS to allow 802.11 phones to authenticate. I have searched high and low for documentation on doing this with no luck. We are using unified wireless with a mix of 5508 and wism controllers. I am able to authenticate windows devices against active directory via the acs but can't seem to get anything working with the phones.

How to, for the most part, setup 802.1x via wireless. I'm using two 5508 WLCs, and Cisco ACS. I will setup the user account/password information via Cisco ACS and User Identity and Hosts. I know from the WLC 5508 web admin tool that I can choose 802.1x in the security parameters. I only have a few question. We have two wireless networks, one is wide open and provides internet access, the other will provide internal access for select users. I am setting up 802.1x on the internal wireless lan. Do I need to configure any 802.1 configuration commands on the switch in order for this to work, if so where would be the locations to do this at? Also, if there is a MAC isolation configuration option I can configure to not allow other hosts on this specific wireless network to communicate with each other?

I'm trying to do configuration archiving in Prime Infrastructure 1.2 with a 5508 WLC (7.4).The job always fails (Admin -> Background Jobs) with the following error (see attachement):"SNMP: Failed to establish SNMP connection xxxx - Cause: Device is Unreachable. Check the ReadOnly community string." I double checked the SNMP credentials, they do match. For testing I also added a Public community just for the PI. Same result.Am I missing something?Is this not intended for Wireless Controllers?

I have a wap200 with a static ipaddress e.g. 192.168.249.205/24 (it is for management and is in vlan 1). Firmware of the wap is 2.0.4.0. No gw and no dns. (they are not necessary) I export the config . I have a second wap200 and import the config.bin to the new wap. ThenI like to change the static address and the name of the new wap, but - and this is the problem - it asks me to fill out the dns (the address for primary dns cannot be 0 and 255), but I absolutely don't want that because there is no dns or gw (management only). And if I fill it out I cannot go the the internet with the wap.
So I also have some other wap200 where I could import the config.bin and change the static ip without giving a dns (firmware 2.0.1.0). can I go back to a previous firmware (Europe) and where can I find it. Looked for it, but seeing only the last one 2.0.4.0 etsi.Or is there another method to skip the dns with a static ipaddress?

One of our laptops won't connect to the internet via wireless, gives a "Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server (192.168.1.20)" error. It works fine when plugged in via ethernet, and all our other computers connect to wireless just fine.
The wireless is set to acquire DNS automatically in the TCP/IP IPv4 properties. I've tried to flush DNS, reset IPv4 and reset Winsock with no luck.

We have found that only Cisco 1231 WAP are exhibiting this behaviour. Their Primary WLAN controller is Cisco1 WLC but they fail to register to Primary WLC and fall back to Cisco2 WLC. After about 200 sec , they attempt to connect to Primary WLC once again and fail. The whole cycle is repeated every 250 seconds.

If I set a primary DHCP server in the interface configuration, or if I override DHCP in the WLAN Configuration.Which interface does the WLC use to try and connect to the DHCP on behalf of the wireless clients?IFA) The dhcp server is not on any of the configured subnets.B) The DHCP server is on a different interface's subnet.

I have a number of 1552e APs connected to a 5508 WLC. We are using local MAC filtering to enable the 1552's to connect to the WLC.
I have a several more 5508's in different locations, and can be used for back-up in the event the primary WLC fails.I have the primary WLC, a secondary WLC and a tertiary WLC loaded into each the 1552's HA tab.
My question concerns the secondary and tertiary WLCs... do I have to load all the MAC addresses in each of those as well in order for the 1552's to connect? If yes, is there an easy way to copy the local mac filtering from the primary WLC and load it into the other WLCs ?

I have more than 5000 sq. ft home and have some dead places other end of the house. Now I am looking for Range Extender/Repeater to boost signal. My primary wireless router is Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 and Secondary Linksys E3000 (planning to update firmware to DD-WRT). So I wanted something such that I can roam between the two routers without switching SSID (use single SSID name for primary and secondary DD-WRT routers) and connect automatically to whichever the best signal (or) strength router. In work place we have same thing like that single wireless SSID name which automatically connect wireless SSID from one end to another end of the building.

I named my network "abc," and the system appends "-guest" to it, i.e.., "ABC-guest", to use as the guest network name. I want to hide the name of the primary/private network completely. Why can't I do that? I know I can use a different password.

The router always inserts its’ own address as the primary DNS server for the all DHCP clients even though you have set the DHCP server on the router to assign manual external addresses?
Oh I have a
WRT310n v2
firmware v2.0.01 build 004
Let me elaborate a little so I am clear what I am saying. On the router setup page go to the section that is labeled “DHCP server settings” enter 3 static DNS servers. Say 2 Google and one open dns.
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
208.67.222.222
Apply your settings.
Release your ip on your workstation, then renew it. And look at your DNS, the routers address is still the first entry.
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
I suspect this was probably a design decision so that they could allow a user to open their web browser and type something neat like [URL]. Which for the average user is fine and dandy. If my ISP didn’t suck and try to redirect everything to cached copies I probably wouldn’t have noticed it. But since I end up using the router for DNS and it picks up DNS from my ISP I end up getting Akamai IP addresses, and they have problems with SSL certs…. So you get errors.
I know I can go set the DNS server settings on the workstations. But I really don’t want to do this on all of my devices as they are mobile and switch networks, and on some networks not using the local dns breaks things. Like on the corporate network.

Region : UnitedStates
Model : TL-WR700N
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
My TL-WR700N does its job to provide wired internet to my desktop computer from another wireless router via client mode. However, when it is connected, the other wireless clients connected to the primary router lose their connections. To restore those connections, the WR700N must be powered down and the primary router must be restarted.

Recently i changed internet service provider and i went up to a 24 Mbps line, though i can only reach a 8 Mbps service due to my location.
The problem is that surfing the internet has gone all kinds of wrong. Every page takes at least 20 secs to open and the response to online games has the same, or even more, delay. Checking my emails also takes quite some time.I tried connecting through the ethernet cable & the wireless connection(not at the same time). I even tried making a static ip. Same results, i can't seem to browse.

I recently set up our new Cisco Linksys E1000 router (we originally had a Belkin, but it is dying). It works perfectly fine on my desktop. However, there is only a "local connection" on my mom's laptop, a Toshiba Satellite running Vista. Diagnosis: Cannot Communicate with Primary DNS Server (68.105.28.12). I've read a bunch of other posts on many websites but so far nothing has worked.
