I am about to migrate WISM1 to WISM2, The image of WISM1 is 6.0.199.4 and the image of WISM2 is 7.2.111.3.
Do i need to upgrade WISM1 to 7.2.111.3 before i export the configuration and import it into WISM2? Or can i just export the configuration from WISM1 on 6.0.199.4 and import directly to WISM2 which is on 7.1.111.3?
My company has been contracted to upgrade the 2 WiSM1 modules on a 6509 for a customer. The hardware isn't changing but the software is being upgraded to WiSM2. The cutsomer has HUNDREDS of AP's and dozens of VLANs and subnets (large municipality and school district).
Cisco SE's have been pushing the customer to purchase the WCS 7 software (they've been managing these Controllers independantly) stating there is no mechanism to upgrade WiSM1 configs to WiSM2. I am vaguely familiar with the cisco controllers but have little WiSM experience. So i feel like i'm working without a net here.
So,
1) Any way to migrate from 1 to 2 without the WCS and without having to reinvent the wheel?
2) How does the WCS make this transition easier? What does it do to the WiSM1 configs to make them WiSM2 compatable?
I am getting many radio resets on 1252AG access point on Wism1. The warning in WLC shows as : AP's Interface:0(802.11b) Operation State Up: Base Radio MAC:c4:71:fe:5c:xxxx Cause=Reset on transmit completion. Status:NA cause = reset on transmit completion.I have fixed RRM to freeze and still same result.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have some new WISM2 running 7.0.116.0, but now we need to upgrade their license to suport 1000 APs. So I am looking at upgrading the software to 7.2.110.0. We are running WCS at the moment and got NCS with the new WISM2, so going to 7.3 and buying Prime Infrastructure is not an option at the moment, thus we are going for 7.2.
The thing is I can't seem to find much info about this upgrade. Is 7.0->7.2 a smooth upgrade? Do we need to do any configuration changes to the WISM2 or LAP1242? We are running H-REAP, will the change to FlexConnect be affected? I can't seem to find anything regarding requirements for 6500/SUP for running WISM2 7.2, do I need a certain software for that?
I have a question regarding WISM2 DP and licensing.
Suppose i have a WISM2 with 7.0, 500AP license today and i activate WISM2-DP by upgrading to 7.2,Do i get 500 AP capacity for free (total 1000AP) or do i get 250APs on each WISM2-blade ?
If i get 500APs for free, why is Cisco selling an expensive licensed 1000 AP WISM2 ? I better buy a single-plane 500AP-WISM2 and upgrade it myself then...50% profit.
Is this the same for a WISM2-300 (supporting 300 APs) ?When i activate WISM2-DP here, do i get an extra 300 AP or an extra 500 APs ? Or 150AP on each blade ?
I having an issue with WCS and the new code 7.4 on my WiSM2 blade. When I try to refresh configuration from/to controller it fails. I just upgraded from 7.01 and it worked before the upgrade.
Is this not supported?
I am able to change configuration from WCS to the WiSM2 and it works fine just cant copy config.
I have just been setting up a WISM2 in a test lab and for some reason the Supervisor is not creating a port channel on my 6500 as suggested in the WISM2 Deployment Guide. WISM2 is installed in an appropriate slot (according to same doco) and have attempted reset to factory defaults, removing and power cycling several times.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have installed WiSM2 with ver 7.4 and Bonjour works great with instruction provided, But…… 2 problems. I cant get it to work on the same subnet. (odd since the whole problem was not able to work across subnets), More important the new Code function / password function on the airplay wont work. I get the code on the projector, but the ipad never pop up the login box it just errors out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where a customer doesn't have the required power units installed in their 6500 for me to provision a WiSM2.They use a VSS pair with a single Sup720 in each. They have no intention of adding a second Sup to each chassis.
I need to justify why they can't use slot 6 (which has power reserved) if I am to get them to upgrade the PSU's. The documentation I've found says it is supported but not recommended.
I've just reset our WISM2 in the test lab back to factory default as I needed to reconfigure the 6500 and the WISM2 itself. Bearing in mind I had it working before.I've just renamed and re-addressed some of the vlans so things flow better and make it easier to add more WISM2s in the future.Now I've run through the initial configuration and it's rebooted ok and show WISM status is showing Oper-Up and there's a port channel 407 been created as I would expect. However, I am unable to get to the management interface via GUI or SSH. In fact from the 6500 I can't even ping the management interface (but I can the service port).The Vlans have been changed in the 6500 config so it knows the native-vlan and service vlan etc and all the vlans are up/up.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI've installed our previous WISMs and other WISM2s previously and never had a problem.
6500 running SXJ2. WISM2 running 7.3.101.0 (which is what the rest of our WISM2s are on)
Insert WISM and go through initial setup. Run a show wism status on the 6500, and show sysinfo on the WISM. All looks good. Service port and management vlans are up. From the 6500 I can ping the service port IP, but not the management IP. From the WISM I can't ping the managment default gw but I can the service port. Unable to get anything back from the GUI..not surprising as not even ping works.
Now, as I said I've done it this way many times before...in fact I'm following my documentation from the last successful implementation and even adding in Cisco docs.
how to safely remove the WiSM2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch? According to the documentation "Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Services Module 2 Installation and Verification Note":
To remove the WiSM2, perform these steps:
Step1 Shut down the module by one of these methods: In privileged mode from the router prompt, enter the hw-mod module mod shutdown command. NoteIf you enter this command to shut down the module, you must enter the following commands in global configuration mode to restart (power down, and then power up) the module: Router# no power enable module modRouter# power enable module mod If the module does not respond to any commands, press the SHUTDOWN button located on the front panel of the module.
Step2 Verify that the WiSM2 shuts down. Do not remove the module from the switch until the POWER LEDis off.
But, in the case of Step1 (1st methods) I do not see a option "shutdown" in the command "hw-mod module 3"...
All I prompted to enter is: c6500#hw-module module 3 ?
boot Specify boot options for the module through Power Management Bus control register
reset Reset specified component
simulate Simulate options for the module Is it hidden options?
IOS version of c6500 is 12.2(33)SXJ1
In the case of Step2 (2nd methods) there is not any button on the front panel of the module?
And yet, it is better to remove the module configuration manually or use the command module clear-config prior to removing the module?
it is normal for the WISM2 time to be resetted to default of 1 Jan 2000 after rebooting the 6506E if no NTP is configured?I had to configure it back to the correct time. If not, the APs will not come up.Also, does the ap or wlc keep track of the ap group the ap is provisioned to?

Is this really the case ? Will there be released packeges to support this. It would be really useful if this was supported in lms4.2.
I know the WiSM 2 is like the 5500 WLC regarding the fact that you do not need to configure an ap-manager interface for CAPWAP packets because by default the managment interface acts like an ap-manager interface.
Any major advantages or disadvantages by letting the default action occur?
I am confused about the cisco docs:What is the minimum WLC/WCS version to support WISM2 controllers ?
The datasheet of WISM2 says "minimum 7.0.116.0"

However the release notes of 7.0.116.0 do not mention the WISM2 module ?

The release notes of 7.0.220.0 do mention the WISM2:

I need to be absolutely sure as there are other software dependencies between 7.0.116.0 and 7.0.220 (regarding required MSE and Aeroscout versions).
With WCS 7.0.172.0 and WLC 7.0.116.0, will we have WISM2 support ?

I'm trying to get all the templates and Maps I've created in WCS into our new NCS. The instructions say just run the export.bat file on WCS and then Migrate into NCS. I cannot find any export.bat file on version 7.0.220.0 of WCS. Is it only available in WCS version 7.0.164.3 ro 7.0.172.0? Do I have to use the export.bat file or can I just do a regular backup and restore?
View 7 Replies View RelatedJust loaded the 7.2.103.0 software onto the brand new WiSM2. Going throught the options and have found that under the global parameters for 802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n radios is now the "Maximum Allowed Clients" option. The allowed setting is from 1 - 200 clients.
Does that mean only 200 clients will be allowed to associate to the WLC on that radio at a maximum?
Doesn't seems to make sense... I have the 500 AP license on this WiSM2... I know this option used to be an optional setting under a WLAN in previous releases.

I have a existing wireless setup of 4400 WLC with some AP's connected remotely,now i am migrating the whole setup to the new WLC 5500. All the AP has been registered to the new WLC 5500 except the remote location AP's.As there was no option of giving IP address in GUI of the controller in 4400 WLC, i have changed the controller name and restarted the AP, but even though it is going back to the old controller.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI struggle with how to install an IOS into an AP. And I am still not very clear on how this is to be accomplished. I have an 881W and have downloaded what I believe to be the latest IOS for this AP (ap801-k9w7-tar.152-2.JA). Problem is that I have not really found a good or at least clear set of instructions in how to load this IOS into my AP, so I have not done that yet.Does the IOS that is currently installed into the AP remain after an update or does the new IOS overwrite the current IOS. And how does one recover from a, heaven forbid, faulty installation. What is the fallback from that. How I can update my AP. Because, right now, I am most certainly hesitant to even attempt an upgrade.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI purchased a used AIR BR1310G-A--K9-R from a local high school that was rebuilding their athletic field. The AP was used for communications for their pressbox staff.

Our home sits on a large lot and I would like to convert the BR1310G back to an autonomous AP.
In order convert it back to an automonous AP, I will need the original image. The school used a contractor for their WiFi network and they do not have a backup of the original image. I do not have a service account with Cisco so downloading the autonomous image from the Cisco website is out. What are my options for either obtaining an image file or using the current managed image without a WLC?
I have a couple 1130AG switches. I'm trying to pull an image file from the flash on a Cisco Air AP1131AG. The file is c1130-k9w8-mx.124-23c.JA4.tar. The issue that I'm seeing is, I do not see a copy command to go through the tftp process. I've tried to use tftpd32 and enter the IP of the AP as the remote host, but that is not working either. Do I need to connect an ethernet cable straight to the AP in order to use Tftpd32, or can I use a console cable?
