Cisco Wireless :: WLC 5508 / How To Get It To Certain LAPs To Only Broadcast Specific SSIDs
Aug 26, 2012
We have a 5508 controller with about 40 LAPs, running AIR-CT5500-K9-7-2-103-0-FUS software.The need has arose to have LAPs in various locations that only broadcast specific SSIDs.
I've got seperate dyanmic interfaces already created.We have 3 "Normal" SSIDs that we broadcast to the LAPs already associated with the 5508.2 more SSIDs were created (2 different purposes).
I just can't figure out how to get it to certain LAPs to only broadcast the specific SSIDs, while the rest broadcast the normal 3, but not those 2 new ones.

I am trying to provision three 1142 AP's so they broadcast multiple SSIDs. I have set the following commands, but I am not able to get more than one SSID to broadcast. As you can see I added the "guest-mode" command to one of the SSIDs which took it without problems. That other SSID does not accept the command.
dot11 ssid Test
vlan 2
authentication open

I have 2 cisco 1242Ag APs in one building and 7 in other building installed in my infrastructure. All these 9 APs are connected to WLC and all of them are added to default ap group to broadcast all the ssid... But 7 in the second bulding are working properly, but the 2 in the other building are not broadcasting the ssids. I checked the configuration in both APs and WLC as well... All the 9 APs are having the same configuration.

I have recently purchase Aironet Access Point. I'm pretty new to Cisco systems and what i'm try to do is have the access point broadcast multiple SSIDs lets call them Guest and Admin. My problems is when i config router to have a DHCP address it works perfectly fine but when i assign a static IP it shows all the any connected device as unkown with IP 0.0.0.0. So i'm guessing i will need to setup a dhcp server. Is there a way access point can have its own DHCP server and IP address ( i don't want to use any from my STATIC ip subnet as i dont know alot of empty ones left) like home wifi router where they assign each device an IP like 192.168.0.1. Is this possible?

I am at one of our remote offices and I am noticing my laptop, despite excellent signal strength is periodically losing IP connectivity on the wireless network. When it drops, all of my IP connectivity stops (pings fail, RDP sessions "await reconnection", etc...). The lower right corner still shows I'm connected to the hidden WPA2 Enterprise SSID. The only way to reconnect is to select disconnect on it, then click connect again. Immediately everything IP based starts working.
There is a 5508 controller in the headquarters. The site I am at has a 30mbps fiber point to point WAN to the headquarters. This site has 2 x 3300 series LAPs which are very good coverage. H-REAP mode is on so traffic terminates at the local office because it is more efficient than traversing the LAN twice for things like local file and print sharing, dhcp, proper active directory sites and services mapping, etc.

We recently received our WLC 5508, AP and switches to setup our WLAN but I'm having trouble getting it all to work. It's been months since the course and I'm having trouble troubleshooting the problem.I've setup the WLC, AP and switches and I have network connectivity to all. The WLC see's my AP and I have all my WLAN and interfaces configured (SSID broadcast is enabled) but I still don't see any SSID coming from the AP.

I am running a WiFi network built on Cisco 1262 APs and Cisco WLC 5508. My APs broadcast two SSIDs, let call them "WiFi_Pay" and "WiFi_Free". I have a problem: when users migrate from "WiFi_Pay" to "WiFi_Free" (not moving, connecting to the same AP), the connection fails. If they try for second time, it is always successful. My task is to ensure that such migrations run smoothly and be successful from the first attempt.

Doing segregation of SSIDs Base on AP , I have the following scenario:
Head Office :
2 SSIDs (HO_WiFi , Guest) , Access Points which are working in connected mode and grouped on the default ap group .
Remote site:
2 SSIDs (Branch_Wifi , Guest) , Access Points working in flex connected mode and locally switching the traffic .
As shown above , I will be having Head Office , and other 20 Remote Sites with Access Points working in Flex connected mode. What is the best way to group AP and segregate SSID base on location. Above Scenario are build base on WLC 5508 and AP 1142.

I have a customer that wants to restrict SSIDs that groups get based on their AD credentials. Currently, he is using Windows 2008 Radius Server and AD with Cisco 5508 WLCs. I found examples that shows this is possible but my question is if I have 2 user groups (teachers and students) in AD and apply a policy for the Radius to send SSID x to teachers and SSID y to students. Upon successfully authentication, would this deny teachers access to SSID y and students access to SSID x?

I am trying to build a new network from scratch, I have the WLC 5508 w/ Aironet 3600e APs connected to my Netgear Smart Switches and a Linksys RV082 router that I'm using as my DHCP server with several VLANs for several stuff on my Switches.
I have 2 questions:
1. Can I have 5 Interfaces configured on 5 different VLANs, each SSID on each a different Port:
Port 1: Controller management only=> 192.168.x.x /24
Port 2: SSID 1: WiFi Internal=> 172.16.x.x/12 (Radius Auth with no sharing)
Port 3: SSID 2: WiFi Internal w/ sharing=> 192.168.x.x/24 (Radius Auth with sharing)
Port 4 :SSID 3: WiFi Guest=> 10.0.x.x/8 (Web Auth)
Port 5: SSID 4: WiFi IT=> 192.168.x.x/24 ( Radius or certificate Auth with access to the controller management interface)
2. How can I use the Controller as the DHCP server for all the WiFi traffic, and how should that be configured to work with my other DHCP server?

I would like to be able to allow a specific client to only associate at 6mbit/s -is this possible using the wlc controller 5508? Another option would be to limit a whole w lan ssid to 6mbit/s but i can't find a way to do that either.
Other w lan ssid's on the same access points/controller need full data rates, so i guess i can't use the RF-profiling for this.

We have a mix of 1231 and 1242 access points in an LWAPP environment. They are connected to WiSM controllers in our 6509's and are managed by a central WLC. Everything is running version 7.0.230. My question is can I apply MAC address filtering on a select group of AP's to restrict access to a specific SSID broadcast on these AP's without affecting other AP's also connected to the same WiSM?

I've been asked to generate some report data on a specific WLAN, a limited access WLAN that was added recently. We need to be able to report on "Average and Peak Number of clients (Total)" and "Total Bytes Transferred (all APs)" on a per site basis. The sites involved mainly use 4402 and 5508 WLCs managed by our WCS server. Is there anything on WCS where we can easily get this information (on a monthly basis).

We have currently a WLC 5508 using 8 ports bundled into an etherchannel.
We would like to remove one physical from this etherchannel and use it for providing an access to Internet only,
Is it possible to create an virtual interface on the WLC that points only on this port?
(we would like to have a physical separation for the Internet traffic only and encrypt the capwapp up to the WLC).

I just installed a brand new AP541N-A-K9 (running AP541N-K9-2.0(1) software) and cannot seem to add a SSID. I've tried both from CCA and directly from the Web interface (Wireless:Wireless Network Setup menu). The Add Another button doesn't seem to do anything. I've even tried multiple browser versions.

I have a 4404 with 3 SSID's configured on it. I only want all SSID's to be available on one floor in one building and not on any other AP's in any other building or floor.I thought the way to do it was via AP group but have not had any luck getting that to work. I setup a group for the AP's that I do not want all SSID's and then assigned those AP's to that group. However, I can still see all three SSID's where I only want to see 2 SSID's.

I want to split the usage of the AP so that visitors are on their own wireless connnection and VLAN.We have 2 WAP4410N APs. One AP acts as a repeater for the another AP.They are both in 4.0.4.2 firmware.We are using WPA2 RADIUS authentication, and would like for visitors to use WPA2 PSK. Under Wireless tab, I have 1 SSID, but the other 3 available boxes for SSIDs are greyed out.When I click in them, they will not allow me to type an ID.I watched a video of how to add SSIDs and VLANs, and it looked simple enough.He just clicked in the box and was able to add more IDs.Could my current config be preventing me from adding additional SSIDs?

I have here a couple of APs with c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA1 loaded as firmware.
I want to configure them with 2 SSID: 1 encrypted, 1 public. Each should go to its own vlan, and thus should have a trunk towards the switch.
My wireless experience approaches zero however, and I cannot get the APs to even send out an unencrypted public SSID.
The config that is currently on the AP, after trying a lot of things is:
gibbs#show run
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 3272 bytes
!
version 12.4

I am trying to configure WLC 2504 with the following setup:
- three WLAN SSIDs
- management/ap-manager interface on VLAN 10
- guest WLAN on dynamic interface VLAN 20
- main WLAN on dynamic interface VLAN 30
- WLAN for tablet and smartphone devices VLAN 40
At this point switch trunking is configured and three WLANs are mapped to three dynamic different interfaces. I can see all associated APs (which are on the same subnet as management interface on VLAN 10), and can ping each of the APs as well as gateways on L3 switch Catalyst 3750-x. Also, on the WLC interface I see that all WLANs are enabled and SSIDs are set to broadcast, all AP radio is in 'up' mode. DHCPs are configured on management interface and on all dynamic interfaces. L3 switch gateways all have ip helper-address pointing to main DHCP. 'sh vlan' and 'sh int trunk' commands on the connected switches show correct settings.
However, I see absolutely no any SSIDs to connect to on any PC or Mac computer I tested.

ASA 5520 running 8.0.4
ASDM v.6.1
Need assistance understanding how in ASDM/Configuration/Site-to-Site VPN/Connection Profiles/ "Any Entry" I can specify that I only want to offer an IKE Proposal of pre-share-aes-256-sha?
The IKE Proposal field has a number of possible options including: pre-share-aes-256-md5, pre-share-3des-md5, pre-share-aes-256-sha, pre-share-aes-192-sha, pre-share-3des-md5, pre-share-aes-sha and pre-share-3des-sha.
I am able to pick a specific IPSec Proposal w/o issue but when I attempt to do the same for the IKE Proposal, and click OK the choice does not "stick" but rather returns to the entire list as defined above.

I need to configure a WAP4410N for use on a small, very simple business network. There should be a corporate WLAN and a guest WLAN. The corporate WLAN should allow anyone connectd to it to access resources on the domain.
In front of the WAP is a cable modem/router and a basic Level 2 (web managed) switch. What do i have to do to segregate the corporate and guest networks.
I thought I would add the corporate WLAN to VLAN1 (assuming the default VLAN in the switch is VLAN1). Then I figured I could create the guest WLAN and assign it to VLAN2 which which will be controlled entirely by the 4410N (DHCP, DNS, etc.) Does this sound like the right way of going about things?

I have several Aironet 1231 APs most running 12.3(8)JEA software. There are 4 SSIDs on (each in separate VLAN), with only one broadcasting (called pubwifi). The broadcasting one is an open, unencrypted network: [code] After adding another braodcasting SSID (encrypted, separate VLAN), I encountered weird situation: my WiFi clients are unable to connect to pubwifi. It is not showing in the available networks or is showing as an "unknow" network. New encrypted/bradcasting ssid is advertaising just fine.

Currently my company has 1 primary SSID that is used throughout both floors of the building. We have 1252 LAPs which have 2.4 and 5Ghz antennas. I'm not sure if this issue is only with XP or perhaps it's the computer's drivers but we run into problems with end users going to a different location and having a very weak signal or nothing at all, yet coverage is fine. I believe the problem is the end user's machine selecting the strongest signal and it I have the feeling that switching bands isn't being done as it should when it's in range. So my question,
Should I split up our 1 SSID and created multiple SSIDs according to the location and include 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz in the SSID name so it's easier to ensure that users are connected to the proper signal? I want to ask if multiple SSIDs would still enable users to freely roam (as long as the ssids are configured) throughout the building without noticing a loss of signal but currently just having 1 SSID isn't really enabling people to freely roam around without connection issues.I don't believe having multiple SSIDs will be useful for the computer's choose their connection any more efficiently but allowing the user to manually see what they're connected to and pick something better according to their location.

I found a few older forum posts and documents online discussing how to create multiple SSIDs on 1 1252 AP using the WLC and they state that VLANs are needed for the interface and then I've read that multiple SSIDs on 1 interface are also possible. I'm not sure on how to actually configure this. I would like my 2.4Ghz radio on the 1252 to be associated with the current SSID in production and the 5Ghz band associated with another SSID that's in production. I couldn't find an option in the WLC or anything stated in the documents I've read about how to associate the radio band with the SSID.

Is it possible to enable an absolute value rate limit using QOS on a HP ProCurve 5406 switch for a particular IP range on a specific port? Is there a way to configure our HP 5406 with an absolute rate limit on "WAN" port for that server's IP range? I would like to limit it to only being capable of sending 1Mbps worth of traffic over the head end at once.Everything in the documentation points towards priority queues, which as far as I can tell, isn't really what I want.Baring accomplishing this goal using rate limiting is there a better way to prevent our services from accidentally saturating this connection?i thimkong about somthing like that:
class ipv4 rate-limit-port-A1
match ip 10.136.0.0/16 any
exit
policy qos port-a1-ratelimit
class servers-to-be-slowed action rate-limit kbps 1000
exit
interface A1 service-policy port-a1-ratelimit inI'm not sure about this.

I am trying to setup a RV180 and 3 wireless access points. I want the AP's to have 2 ssids that are isolated from each other. IE guest network and main network. I have setup VLAN's and my AP's support 802.1q and have ssid's with matching VID's. I was able to get this to work basically, but things seem to have gotten confusing when I plug the AP's into a POE switch instead of directly into the rv180. At this point I'm not sure exactly waht to ask. Maybe start by providing basic info on how I'm supposed to do this. I was under the impression that since both devices support 802.1q I could configure the VLANs on the router, and tell the AP's to apply a VID to the SSID and thing would work. This isn't the case unfortunately.
