Cisco Wireless :: WLC 5508 - Multiple Country Codes And Mesh AP (2600)
Jan 23, 2013
Currently my solution consist of two 5508 controllers and several non-mesh and few mesh AP (2600) running in flexconnect mode in one single site in europe. Everything is going fine. However there is going to be a new site in Canada. I found some documentation saying that multiple country code is not available for mesh ap. Mesh ap are not going to join controller if multiple country code configured . but all this documentation is regarding version 7.2 and older. Im running version 7.4.100.0 and on configuration guide I don't find anything related to that.

I have one controller 5508 that will hold 50 LAP 1262 and another Controller that will hold another 50 outdoor mesh access point 1552. Both controllers (not redundant) are at the HQ while the access points are distributed between HQ and 3 branches.
The requirements is to have the SAME 4 SSIDs on MESH and LAP each have a security type (, wep,wpa,dot1x...) on HQ and Branches. Now, in the HQ I don't think I will face a problem since the WLCs is on the same LAN, so 5 interface v lans will be configured one for the WLCs and access point and another 4 interface v lans for the 4 SSIDs.
Now, for the remote sites I need to create another vlan on the switch with DHCP and option 43 ..... for the access point to register with the controller.
But here, do I have to create another 4 interface v lans (4 different sub nets) that should be bidden to the SSID as in the HQ?
Or the Access point will encapsulate all the traffic including the client traffic? Note that I have outdoor mesh access point and Lightweight access point and the BW link between the HQ and branch is 100M.
Also Can I have roaming between the same SSID that broadcasted on MESH and LAP knowing that each have different controller.

New to working with Wireless and the Cisco Meshing concept so have a few questions to ask.I currently have the majority of the mesh setup and configured. I have a setup with two RAPs with 9 MAPS connecting to each RAP.
First question is how many MAPS can connect to a RAP generally?Secondly how can I block other cisco AP's that are not in my mesh network from trying to connect to my AP's
The below is constantly hammering the logs for 6 devices that are Cisco close to my mesh that are not mine.

Mesh child node '58:35:d9:aa:db:4f' has changed its parent to mesh node '88:f0:77:b7:c6:e0' from mesh node '88:f0:77:b7:c6:c0'.
Mesh Node '58:35:d9:aa:db:4f' failed to join controller, MAC address not in MAC filter list.
I have only added the MAC addresses of my AP's in to my AP Policy under security. Would these other AP's affect the mesh in any way?What I am seeing is the AP's constantly changing the child to parent relationship. I have inherited this network and they have about 20 AP's all within a square mile which is absolutely overkill. Would this close proximity of AP's together be the cause for the constant child parent changes?
How close should I have RAP's together. The network was setup so two raps are about 20 metres apart and the AP's on one side connect to RAP1 and the other to RAP2?How do you deal with Radar? The install is pretty much next to an airfield with radar running and a few times I have seen all the AP's disconnect and change channels.

recently I installed WLC 5508 en the central office and installed a network mesh in a remote office; central and remote office is connected with serial link as WAN, and I have dhcp server in the remote office for give ip address to all users and devices in the remote office. Additional I have 5 LAP1552 (mesh) and 2 LAP1260 in the remote office, all clients that connect to LAP1260(this don't belong to the mesh) receive ip address from dhcp server, but neither client that try to connect to the mesh (LAP1552) receive ip address from dhcp server. I don't have if I doing some thing bad. The range IP that receive the all ap's belong to the network of devices and the range ip for the users belong to network of users.

We had our wireless mesh network running with 4400 Controller and 1510 A.Ps. Now that we have bought new 5508 Controller (with SW: 7.2) and 3600 Indoor APs, we are unable to add legacy APs on our new controller. After a wild googling I have found that for 1510 APs i need to be on SW ver: 4.0. But that will lead into another situation i-e I wont be able to have my 3600 APs on WLAN Controller.

which controller I should use with 11 1552E AP ? I know 5508 will work with the AP's, but would the 2504 also work? If 2504 will work, I will go for the 2504 since its a cheaper solution.

I borrowed my dad's computer while mine was in the shop and it worked fine with a wireless pc card. Well, it had some issues so I reformatted it with a dell xp disc service pack 1. Since then I could not get the netgear ma521 card to pick up any networks. So, I spent a ridiculous amount of time messing with it with no success. I used that card on an identical computer and it worked fine. Still thinking it was a compatibility issue, I bought a linksys g-series card with the same issue. The "link" light never lights up. I'm pretty sure I've installed all the correct drivers. What am I missing? I've also tried reformatting using dell disc with service pack 2 and a factory xp pro disc.

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?

Configuring HP switches for Flexconnect. I am not sure if or not its doable? Access Points are 2600 and 3600 with 5508 as a controller. Idea is to keep the branch traffic local but the switches are HP.

I have a strange issue with clients connected to a WiFi network.I have configured AP in FlexConnect mode and 2 SSID's. After a reboot of the AP the network is stable for almost 45 mins. Then each client will go UP and Down, mostly with a delay of 5 mins.
What could be the source of this. The clients are Windows CE handheld with fixed IP adres. I already configure persitent client and have play arround with APR timers as well. Thereby an Windows desktop or an iPad has less connectivity issues but even they expert pakcteloss once in severall minutes.
Session timer is turned off
The iPad for example can play music, but each 5 mins you hear a little hickup and 2 subsecond ping are loss.
Controller version is 7.3

Is it possible to assign a single ssid to multiple interface groups by assigning the ssid to multiple AP groups?
I have buildings geographically dispersed that are configured with multiple vlans in interface groups so that I can maintain an addressing scheme of dhcp assigned addresses per building. Each building is also further grouped as AP groups. I'd like to know if by assigning the same wlan ssid to each of the AP groups, will I maintain addressing integrity for each building? I'm thinking it will work.
Do the buildings have to be outside AP range of each other to avoid problems?
5508 controller
7.2.110.0 code
6 buildings
6 interface groups
1 ssid

My 5508 WLC which runs version 7.4 is configured as a DHCP server for the clients and here's my problem:
-One AP is attatched with an interface which has the vlan 10 and a ssid in AP groups
-One AP is attatched with another interface which has the vlan 20 and the same ssid in AP groups
And there are two DHCP pools in WLC, one is for vlan 10 and one is for vlan 20.For now, a PC accesses AP-1 and get an IP address from DHCP pool vlan 10, then I power off AP-1, then the client accesses AP-2 but still get the IP address from DHCP pool vlan10, i need to get the IP from DHCP VLAN20, what can i do now?

We have deployed many 1142 APs on a site.When i have checked color codes , some of thems LEDs are static green which we have expected.But some of them are not giving out any light.But from the controller menu i saw them active and operating. And i can connect that APs but no led is lid.
When i get closer to the AP i saw a Red color which can not be seen from distance (Not Red flashing LED).What the possible error can be ? Is it a factory default mistake or so ?

I am trying to come up with a wireless solution for a campus deployment. The campus has ten buildings currently using Autonomous APs and are currently converting to Dual 5508 Controller model.
I would like to have a separate AP Mgmt subnet in each building, so I will configure an ip helper on the SVI on this vlan to:
Option1 - Point to the Internet Router configured with DHCP Option 43 with the controller IP addresses
Option 2 - Point to the Wireless LAN Controller itself.
Problem with Option 1 is that the Internet Router will now have to connect directly to the COE network to be able to route back to the AP mgmt subnets. So I would emply a VRF here to keep the separation.
Problem with option 2 is that there appears to only be one DHCP scope allowed on the controller. So this would mean a flat mgmt network across all buildings which I am trying to avoid. I know that after the AP joins the controller, I could change the IP and change the vlan on the port but this is not very neat.
So question is:
Is there a way of getting multiple DHCP pools on the controller?

We have 2 5508 WLC's on site (5508-1 & 5508-2) and at the completion of this project we will have around 150 access points. We are also using WCS. 5508-1 is set as the primary/master controller. 5508-2 is the secondary controller, serves as backup if/when 5508-1 fails. All LAPs connect to 5508-1 by default, so 5508-2 is basically sitting there doing nothing. Is this the best way to take advantage of the resources that are available? Would wireless clients see improved performance if the access points were split between the two controllers? If we do split LAPs between the controllers should I make sure that all of the LAPs on a particular floor are connected to the same controller or does that matter?

I have a 5508-WLC appliance and configured multiple ap-manager interfaces to balance the join request from LAPs and the load.I went to console port from some LAPs and saw that there was that balance among multiple ap manager interfaces (Dynamic AP Management Interfaces). Then we torn down one of the ap manager interfaces and confirmed that the LAPs were moved to next ap manager interface automatically.But the question here is, how can I verify which ap-manager interface was used for a LAP from the WLC via GUI or CLI ?? or how can I see the amount of APs joined using that ap manager interface from WLC ?

On a wlc 5508-7.0.116, can I set up 2 ssids that map to one wlan/vlan/subnet. I thought you could but I don't have the means to test without breaking production.
My goal is this:
Ssid red open
Ssid blue wpa 2
But all clients on the same ip subnet

I have looked through the forum and think that I have found the answer to my question but I just need confirmation of my thoughts. We are using a 5508 W LAN controller running software ver 7.2.110.0 and LAP 1142n AP's.
What I would like to do is to configure multiple guest W LAN for each of our regional offices. Each of these W LAN needs to be configured with a Web Authentication page relevant to the office location. My question is this, can I have a Web Authentication page for each location or just 2, the default internal page and 1 customized page?

I'm trying to research the tunnel limits on a 5508 controller if you're terminating controllers to two different SSID's. For example. In my DMZ i have a GUEST SSID for contractors and guests and then I have another SSID used by employees so that tablet and mobile phone users can access the interenet. Because we don't trust any of these devices we have that SSID is termiated just as we do our GUEST SSID.
To reduce the number of anchor controllers I deploy, I wanted to start with one 5508 Controller. (then move up to about 3) This controller would have two SSID's, GUEST & MOBILE. On the Foreign controllers when I setup anchor tunneling I will be anchoring to the same controller however to two different SSID's.
Per the 5508 specs it supports 71 tunnels.
So my question to the group is, will the 5508 see this anchoring as one tunnel each? Or does it support 71 Tunnels per SSID?

I have a 4400 and a 5508 WLC in the same location We want to be able to roam between ap joined to both the 4400 and the 5508 using only one ssid
Do I only need to create a mobility group and add both WLC then create only one WLAN on one of the controllers and it will be shared across bot WLC.

We have an AP located on a German site which is supposed to connect to a WLC which is in Germany as well. Our network however is spread to France as well where another WLC is located. Now, the AP can not be convinced to connect to the German WLC. Despite our efforts (e.g. manuel IP configuration, reset to factory defaults) we don't manage to bring that AP to the German network - this is by the way the only AP, all other approx. 200 work just fine.

I have a WLC 5008 running with 40 AIR-LAP1042N-E-K9 and country code BE (Belgium) configured.I also have some AIR-AP1142N-C-K9 which I converted to CAPWAP OS.Unfortunattely only 1 of the 2 radio interfaces is working because of regulatory reasons.(the AP's are -C models which stands for China - although they were bought in Belgium too).I tried to activate the country codes for BE and China, but the WLC won't accept both.Is there a way to get the 2nd radio interface working ?

I have a situation where a user needs more than one office extend AP in his home. My office extend controller is a 5508 running 7.0.220.0. Are there any issues NATing multiple OE APs to a single address? My initial lab results indicate that each of the AP's associate with the controller and establish a DTLS tunnel. I see the SSIDs get pushed to the AP and then it seems to restart the process never being fully operational. Is there a workaround that will allow me to run mutliple OE APs?

I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to configure in one site a wireless setup that goes like this:
One WLC (5508), multiple LAP's in H-REAP mode.
AP's will be splitted in multiple VLAN's belonging to different departments but with the same SSID.Each VLAN will have it's own DHCP scope. All AP's are located in the same site and I need to know if it is possible to roam between AP's that belong to different departments?

We have cisco 2504 controller and 1200 series access point.These are in India and country code is IN.When access point joins the controller , then in wireless>advanced , i see the two country code is already configured these are Sri Lnaka(LK) and Singpore (SG).I have disabled the radios and changed the country code to IN but after doing that Access point is not joining the controller and giving the duplicate error.
Then i have again set the country code to IN,LK and SG.I am able to see the LK and SG but In is not showing in drop down list.
Operationally everything is working fine.

I bought a v1. wusb600n for win XP sp3, recently for no apparent reason, it became stuck in country region #2 (ch 36 to 64) when i use WZC or even netstumbler to view networks. I have tried uninstall/reinstall of driver, tried using ralink's driver and even another usb600n, but the problem remains.
Checking the INF files shows that all the drivers are trying to install as region #0 (36-64 + 149-165) but they are always showing as region #2

When someone calls into the CME router and dial the number for the asterisks box (So now the CME is between the POTs connection and the asterisks box). The asterisks then asks for them to dial a number, they dial a number and the CME interperts the DTMF codes and send them to the asterisks box vida RTP EVENTS, these are UDP packets so it sends out a pile of them to make sure they are received. It sends out 8 packets normally but sometimes 14 (can't figure out the reason for the difference so far). When it sends out 8 packets the asterisks works correctly, when it sends out 14 it doubles the numbers (so I dial 1 and the asterisks box thinks I dialed 11). No matter if it sends out 8 or 14 of these messages it sends out 3 that have an end of even tag on them saying "hey this is the end of this set of packets"

We are in a warehouse type setting and have data centers on each side of warehouse with 5508 WLC's in each data center. Each side is on its own subnet with routing in between and a different set of SSID's for each set of WLC’s. Are goal is to have the ability to failover in the event that if one data center goes down AP’s will move to the controllers in the other DC and the clients will still be able to operate.
Our thought was to implement mobility groups between the controllers. While I saw documentation on setting this up when the controllers are on the same vlan, I didnt see any setup config when controllers are in different vlans. So I am wondering if mobility groups are even an option for what we want to accomplish. For the most part clients stay on their respected sides of the warehouse and so we are not necessarily needing roaming for clients between controllers in DC1 and DC2. But that does raise another question in that we do have a planned voice wlan that we would like to have the ability to roam between each side of the warehouse. But we have seen ip issues with this. In the past we have had both SSID's setup on each side and ran to issues with clients not renewing their IP address when moving to the controllers on the different subnets.
Can we setup mobility groups between controllers on different vlans/subnets? For failover purposes will mobility groups assist in our setup with 2 DC’s and different subnets/vlans? If the answer is yes we can setup mobility groups between different subnets, is there a way to setup the SSID's on all controllers and have the ability for clients to roam and renew their IP’s when moving to a different controller on a different subnet?
