I am looking to enable the internal DHCP on my WLC. I have enabled it and it seems to be operating correctly but I think my routing and or settings allowing me to access anything beyond the private network is wrong.
DHCP is handing out correct IP info and DNS info. How do I route the new private network (10.1.9.*) out to our existing 10.1.4.1. (management IP is 10.1.4.253) Can this be done within the WLC ?

This is a new setup and has not worked yet. I have multiple 3602 APs and one 2504 Controller. I thought initially I could plug-in an AP into one of two POE Ports on the 2504. During debug mode I see that it has low power, was suprised that the 2504 switch can't fully power the AP? Is this correct?Anyways I have another POE switch that I am using with ample power. The configuration for my wireless is that it will be completely segmented off of my internal network as this is for guest access. So DNS servers are external so I cannot create host entries for the AP to discover the controller. With that being said I believe that is just one way for the discovery process to happen. I have my controller management interface and DHCP scope on the controller on the same subnet plugged into the same POE switch. The AP does seem to get a DHCP address and I can ping the controller from the AP. I cannot get any further then that. I will not join the controller and the radios get disabled. I get messages such as "discovery response from MWAR is rejected. I will post a debug log of the AP and its bootup process. This is new equipment so I would assume the firmware is somewhat up-to-date and the 3602 AP is somewhat the latest model.

I am wondering if the folowing is a valid configuration:
WLC2504
AP2600
I need 3 SSID/VLAN, 1 for corporate devices, 1 for coporate smartphones, 1 for guest.
Port 1 on the 2504 should be used for management and corporate devices and connect to the corp network. Port 2 is for smartphones/guest and will be connected to a Cisco ASA 5515 that is connected to a second ISP.
Corp devices should get IP from an Windows DHCP. Smartphones/guest should get IP from the WLC. Is this possilbe? I read this in a document "To use the WLC as a dhcp, you need to enable DHCP proxy as it is required." Some how I am imagining that this will mess with the Windows DHCP. Is it better to use the ASA as DHCP for smartphones/guest?
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.
My problem, in a nutshell, is that clients do not get an IP from an external DHCP server when connected to a guest VLAN.
My current setup is:
Native VLAN 1 (192.168.2.x)
2008 DHCP Servers
2504 WLC
[Code].....
The guest WLAN just uses WPA and a PSK and is set to interface vlan101 There rest of the 2504 config is default.
The ports that the WLC and APs are connected to are tagged on the correct VLANs. (is that even necessary for the AP now?)
Ive changed the interface config around a hundred times now with no luck. No matter what a client will not get an IP.
Could this be due to the 2504 and ASA both acting as DHCP relays? Ive tried setting the IP of the DHCP on the dynamic interface to many different things with no luck.
I have a Cisco Wlan Controller 2504 with 1042N AP (3-nos) every thing was working fine from past 2 months. Now i am getting a issue with clients which are connected to the wireless AP, they are not able to get an dhcp IP address from the 2960 Switch (DHCP Server). The clients are getting IP address as 0.0.0.0. [code]

I have 2 networks: inside users (vlan 1) and external users (vlan)
My controller uses the port 1 to connect to the switch, which has a trunk with WLC.
I have two routers, one using vlan 1 (192.168.3.0/24) and one using vlan 10 (200.X.X.X). All ports to these routers are access ports on their respective vlans.
I have 2 SSID, one for inside, other to outside. Inside is working very well.
To the outside I created a DHCP escope and already set the IP of the management interface 192.168.3.119.
Managemente interface (vlan 1 inside): 192.168.3.119/24
Outside interface (vlan 10): 200.X.X.195 - Default gateway 200.X.X.X.193

I have just setup a new WLC 2504 controller to manage a WiFi service that will span 6 geographic locations. The local networks at each location are on different subnets (all 192.168.x.x) and are linked up via IPSEC VPN links, and there is Active Directory spanning the sites, with DNS and DHCP servers running at each location.
I tested the WLC at our main office with a single AP, and it worked fine. The AP set itself up, and wireless devices connect with no probs. Great! Yesterday I headed out to one of our remote sites, and connected an AP to their network - and that seemed to work fine too. Within a few minutes I was able to see the WiFi network I'd setup, and my smartphone connected to it straight away (as I'd rpeviously connected at the main office), so I was pretty happy that all was working well.
This morning however I've had notification that wifi performance at the remote site isn't great. I've got someone to check their ip address, and I've found that their IP address and default gateway match the LAN at the main office where the WLC is based - NOT the LAN where the wireless client is. Obvioulsy this is not ideal!
(I guess I HAVE done something wrong!?). And how can I get wireless clients at remote sites to pick up an IP from the DHCP server at THEIR site?
I have a problem with our WLC 2100 series (2125). Basycally internal DHCP server configured on WLC is not working. I have one AP connected to port no 7 (PoE) to bypass and eliminate problem with other equipment.

Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default router: 192.168.30.1

Is it possible to assign IP addresses to remote site WIFI users from local DHCP server and forward all other traffic to 2504 WLC?

I have 350 WAP (1142n) running of two WLC 5508 (IOS version 7). WLCs are not located on the same subnets/locations and are not configured as mobility groups. The vlan ids on both wlcs are not identical.

I'm working on migrating autonomous WAPs to lightweight mode in a WLC 5508. Some of the older WAPs are being decommissioned at the same time.
One issue I have found is that after replacing an old WAP in autonomous mode with a new WAP (3502); some clients near the coverage of this new LWAPP are now connecting to another WAP in autonomous mode that has not been converted or replaced yet; but that is located quite far away from where these clients are, actually two floors down. Users on these clients have reported wifi dropouts, which is obvious due to the distance where the old WAP is. A workaround that seems to work is removing the wifi profiles in the client machines and recreating them again, which is not a good solution for all of the wifi profiles we have in place. At this point of time we still need to have the older WAPs until they are all replaced.
How can I get clients connecting to a LWAPP that is closer to their location? I'm wondering what causes those clients to look for an existing older WAP rather than connecting to the new LWAPP, which is broadcasting the same SSID closer to where they aree. Bear in mind that the new LWAPP is working fine and has live sessions working just fine.
I manage Wi-Fi on a college campus, and we have implemented 802.1x with RADIUS authentication running on a Windows server, and that works well. The issue is that the college is looking at removing wired connections in the dorms in favor of just deploying wireless, and the gaming consoles (Xbox, PS3, etc. ) cannot support 802.1x. We use Cisco 5508 Wireless LAN controllers with 1142 and 3602 APs.
I would like to enable MAC address authentication for these gaming consoles, wherein we (IT) would enter the MAC address of the console for a single connection and allow that console to connect to Wi-Fi, but I do not want to use WEP or any other TKIP passwords, because once the students would know the password they would use WEP/WPA instead of authenticating through RADIUS for their PC/tablet connections. .
I have a case that to minimize wireless signal into one room.Room has dimenitons 3 x 6 meters.But the signal should pass to other room.I have tried many scenarios but couldnt reach the result that i expect.First i have used a 3502 with external antenna ports , but no antenna attached to it.I have set up the maximum power level from TPC menu from controller , but it was more limited than i thought.I can only connect whenever i put Ap next to myself.Then i have used a 3602 with internal antennas.The reason i have picked 3602 is , it has the lowest gain 2.4GHz antenna attached to it.I reset TPC to minimum power level (5) , but as expected signal can be heard from two rooms from the AP is located.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk, so with my WLC2504 implementation, I use the 4 ports to physically segment my wireless networks. Here is my setup:
Port 1 (Management) - Internal IP so I can manage the WLC from our internal network (Untagged)
Port 2 - Connected to our core stack and tagged with VLAN 14
Port 1 and 2 are both connected to the same core stack
Port 3 - Connected to a RV016 Linksys which is connected to our fiber connection to the outside (Untagged) - External connection for laptops
Port 4 - Connected to a Linksys wireless router (with wireless disabled) (Untagged) - External connection for smartphones
The TAC engineer I talked to just told me that I can only have one untagged interface on the WLC. If they are physically connected to different switches, thus physically segmenting the network, should it matter?
The wireless works just fine. What I am having issues with is getting a client that is hard-wire connected to the RV016 to get a DHCP address from the WLC.
I have two ethernet cards (from same equipment) that arent acquiring IP Address after instalation of WLC 2504.I dont want (yet) to disable DHCP proxy on WLC.

We have about 20 of the above WAPs in our company network and are quite satisfied with the performance.However occasionally we need to manually reboot the WAPs in order to resolve sporadic connectivity issues that cannot be resolved on the client devices. In order to optimize the performance we would like to automatically restart our WAPs at a certain time (e.g. at night) on a daily or weekly basis.We are currently using WAP4410N-fw-2.0.0.5-K9.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are in the process of evaluating Cisco wireless controllers and AP. We have 3602 APs and 2504 controllers right now.

I am trying to deploy APs at the branch offices and connect them back to the controller and the central site. I created a sub interface and ssid with one of the vlans at the branch office on the controller and was able to get the AP to join the controller through DNS. However, a client at the branch office connected to the AP was unable to ping anything at the branch and central sites. Any documentations on how to deploy such a setup where the controller is at the central site and AP at the branch office going through multiple routers in between?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am busy setting up a wireless backhaul.. I have the bridge setup using 2 x 3602's ( Root / mesh) configuration. The bridge is self is up. The main idea is to get older autonomous access point (1231) connected to the ethernet and pull that back in to a temporary building. I have groupped the bridge to only have one SSID on it.
The switch port on the pwr inj4 is currently connected to a laptop - Ethernet Bridging is enabled on the mesh port. Now the laptop does get an ip form the dhcp server. This is where my issue comes in. I can ping the mesh ap's IP address, but not past it.
We have been using a dhcp and tftp server to automatically configure branch WAN routers such as 1751's and 1841's for years but, have recently purchased a 1921 and 1941 as possible next generation replacements. The problem is when the 1900 series power up instead of getting a dhcp address directions to the tftp server it boots up and asks for the user name to be immediately changed or you will be "locked out". Any workaround to this so that I can again go back to download my common configuration? Or any other way of automatically configuring the newer version ios? Doing extra steps for 500 WAN branch routers is time consuming. Doing configurations without automation for that many is moving in the wrong direction.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a small, simple small business network. There are 2 switches - an 8-port switch connected to my main Windows server (which is the DHCP provider for the network), and a 24-port switch which is plugged into the 8-port switch.
I replaced these switches (Dell unmanaged switches) with the Cisco 200 series smart switches (the 8-port and 26-port models). When I plug the 26-port switch into the 8-port switch, it is unable to get its DHCP address from the Windows server. Also, any device plugged into the 26-port switch cannot communicate with any other device, and all of the ethernet port lights flash at the same time at the same frequency - quite a light show!
If I plug the Windows server DIRECTLY into the 26-port switch it receives a DHCP address.

Just checking in to ask about setting up a network with multiple WAPs. Right now, I have it set up with two WAPs, and can roam seemlessly between the two. Same security, SSIDs, etc. I have one broadcasting on channel 1, and the other on channel 11.What I wanted to ask is this: in the future, I'd like to add two wireless access to a different network that exists in the same building. So I'd have two more WAPs, broadcasting a different network with a different SSID. I can assign one to channel 6, but the last WAP will not have a non-overlapping channel to use. Is that going to cause interference issues?
