Cisco Wireless :: Configuration Of Multiple AP Manager Interfaces On WLC 2504
Mar 20, 2012
I've got a question concerning the configuration of multiple AP manager interfaces on -for example- a cisco WLC 2504. I've read the configuration guide but I'm not sure whether this is the way the protocol works. Say I want to distribute AP's (and traffic) across various AP Manager interfaces on the WLC. I would configure the following:
Create one management interface (which will automatically also be an AP-Manager interface)Configure 1 (or more) Seperate ap-manager interfaces, assign them to a port number, and select "Enable dynamic AP Management". VLAN ID's will be the same.Create a WLAN and configure it's interface to "management" Is it correct if I state that the LWAPP protocol takes care of the discovery from the Access Point and sends information about the available AP-manager interfaces back to the AP and the AP knows which ap-manager interfaces are available, connecting to the least loaded one?

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 ?

I'm getting familiar with an existing, working wireless installation that uses a 2504 controller (recently upgraded to 7.3.101.0).
From the documentation, it looks like there should be a "AP-manager" interface by default (static). There is not one.
Configuring the Management Interface (GUI) #
Step 1 Choose Controller > Interfaces to open the Interfaces page.
###
Figure 3-3 Interfaces Page
#
According to that document, there are 4 Static interfaces. On the one I'm working on, there are only two: "management" and "virtual." (There are also a couple of "Dynamic" interfaces that have been set up.)From reading the documentation, it sounds like there should be an AP-manager interface, and that this would have been there by default.
It also sounds like an AP-manager interface is needed:Information About the AP-Manager Interface ## A controller has one or more AP-manager interfaces, which are used for all Layer 3 communications between the controller and lightweight access points after the access points have joined the controller. The AP-manager IP address is used as the tunnel source for CAPWAP packets from the controller to the access point and as the destination for CAPWAP packets from the access point to the controller.
Question 1: If I do not have an AP-Manager interface, are the APs connecting at L2? Is there some way to tell on these controllers whether APs are connecting at L2 or at L3 using udp?
Question 2: Is it not the case that one AP-manager interface should be there by default? (I see in the docs that more than one can be created, but in that case I expect that the additional interface(s) would show in the list as "Dynamic" and not "Static.")
A bit of background: The customer network is largely one flat network now, and I'm planning on subnetting it, and routing from the closets up. I want to make sure what may need to be changed in this wireless setup before proceeding. (The main wireless users are also getting IP addresses on the same flat network, at this point. That obviously will change so that they are on their own subnet.)

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 have WLC 2504 controller and six access points AIR-LAP1042N. I reading Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controller Deployment Guide url...trying to set up along the lines.
It is also possible to have multiple AP-managers in a different subnet than the management interface. However, in this case, it is recommended that you disable the AP-manager from the management interface and create another AP-manager interface on different physical ports in a different subnet than the management interface. All multiple AP-managers in this scenario should be in the same subnet.
I maping management interface on physical port 1 and disabled ap-manager on it. Set up 192.168.7.0 subnet with non tagged vlan. This iface/port I want to use only for access to WLC web-interface. Then I create dynamic interface ‘dynamic1’, map him on port 2, enable ap-manager on him, and set up 192.168.110.0 subnet with vlan 10. Then I tryed map wlan1 to this iface, but I can’t because in the choice was only management iface to map wlan1.
There is three dynamic interfaces on same subnet and vlan, in example above. But when I try to add dynamic iface with the same vlan/subnet as an existing dynamic interface, I get an error, and can’t adding.

I am about to deploy a load of Aironet LWAPs into my organization. I've configured the WLC 2504 and have a couple of the APs working at our main site. I just needed to plug them in, and they worked perfectly, straight out the box. But I just want to know the following:
1 - will the same apply if I connect an AP at a remote site? Remote sites are on different subnets and connected via IPSEC. Will the remote APs just find the WLC?
2 - is there anything I need to set up especially on the WLC in order to make this work?
3 - what happens if the IPSEC connection drops?

I installed a WLAN with a WLC 2504 and 1140 APs. My network is configured the following way. 10.10.X.X/8. Port 1 on my WLC has the following interfaces management with the ip address 10.10.X.5 and the virtual interface. I have one secure SSID on the management interface. DHCP is done on my Sonicwall firewall. I was advised to create a second interface called AP-Manager and i have the following questions:
1. Do i create a new port or do I create the AP-Manager interface on the same port as my other interfaces?
2. Once i create the new interface of AP-Manager, will my APs migrate over to this interface?
3. Do i need to create the AP-Manager interface or leave all my AP's on the management interface?
4. Second do I need to create a services interface and if yes, on port 1?
I also need to create a guest network that would have the ip scheme of 172.16.X.X and have the guest authicated by level 3 web authication.
1. Do i create my guest interface on port1 or create a new port?
2. DO i need to point my DNS of the interface to the virtual interface.

how i can configure a second ssid for guest access in our environment. this is our network setup prior to this request: Internet----Firewall (not ASA)---ce520---C1131AG and CME router is also connecting to the ce520 switch. we only have two vlans: one for voice and two for data.
Presently, there is no vlan configured on the AP because it on broadcasting ont ssid and wireless users gets IP from a windows DHCP server on the LAN. the configuration on the ce520 switch port for the AP and other switches say access vlan is the DATA vlan which automatically becomes the native vlan for all trunk port connecting the AP and other Stiches to the network.
Now with this new requirement, i have made my research and i have configured the AP to broadcast both the production and the guest Vlans. The two vlans are 20-DATA and 60-Guest. I made the DATA vlan on the AP the native vlan since the poe switch is using the DATA vlan as native on the trunk ports. I configured the firewall to serve as DHCP server for the guest ssid and i have added the ip helper-address on the guest vlan interface on all switches while the windows server remains the dhcp server for the production DATA Vlan. I have confirmed that the AP, switches can ping the default gateway of the guest dhcp server which is another interface on the firewall. I can now see and connect to all broadcasted ssids but the problem is I am not getting IP addresses from both the production dhcp server and guest dhcp server when i connected to the ssid one at a time. My AP config is attached below.
Do i need to redesign the whole network to have a native vlan other nthan the data vlan? Does the access point need to be aware of the voice vlan? Do the native Vlan on the AP need to be in Bridge-group 1 or can i leave it in bridge-group 20?

I am trying to lab something up and I believe I am doing something incorrectly. My management VLAN works fine, the AP on port 7 finds the controller fine, but my VLAN 80 doesn't seem to be mapped to port 2. I mapped a test WLAN to the VLAN, and setup a DHCP scope, and a client can get on the WLAN, acquire an IP address, etc. I thought I coudl then map that VLAN (80) to port 2 and have it go out a cable modem. Doesn't seem to be working that way, however.

I will now install a Cisco WLC 2504 and 18 AP´s ( 1142n).
Client has a Cisco infrastruture with Cisco Switch´s 3750x and others.
We expected to have :
1. Managment Vlan to add WLC 2504 and the AP´s ( DHCP server should be reached on this Vlan)
2. Configure a trunk in the switch port where the WLC will connect, allowing vlan´s that we choose to reach.
3. configure WLC ( ssid´s, Vlan´s, interfaces).
4. Configure AP´s.
Is there any basic setup that i missed for things to run ?
Normally I create DHCP reservations for AP`S and for Clients in diferent Vlan´s:
Mgmt Vlan 100: 192.168.0.xx
AP´s vlan 101: 192.168.1.xx
Clients Vlan 102: 192.168.2.xx
All this ones should be created as interfaces on WLC?

I am currently experiencing an issue with a WLC that I am trying to connect 3 new Access Points to of the type AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 running Cisco IOS Software, C1140 Software (C1140-RCVK9W8-M), Version 15.2(2)JA
I had the controller on firmware 7.0.220.0 and just upgraded to 7.3.101.0 in the hopes to solve my issue. The already connect APs running 12.4 was upgraded without any issues (apart from one - I'll get to that one) and it is now running as before. But the issue with the 3 new APs still persists. I have supplied a screenshot of the AP Join page.
Another issue that arose from the said upgrade was that a previously shutdown AP (of the same type and software version as the ones that upgraded perfectly) got turned on after the WLC firmware upgrade and is now not able to join the controller.

I am actually working in configuring a wireless controller 2504 integrated a windows 2008 server as radius server for authenticating the network users registered in a windows active directory database. The Radius server is a Windows 2008 Server with the rol of Network Policy Server.
I have been following a pair of documents in Internet, but it doesn't work yet.
Which authentication method should i use?...the Windows 2008 NPS doesn't work wtih LEAP, should i use PEAP or there is an another recomendation to authenticate the windows active directory users?
configuration tested working between a cisco wireless controller and Windows 2008 NPS as Radius Server for authenticating the windows network users.

If I have a PI 1.2 system that has multiple interfaces configured I can upgrade to PI 1.3 and both interfaces remain and I can see both under the admin webpage under appliance interfaces. But if I do a fresh install of PI 1.3 I can only configure one interface. The commands fail from the cli to configure anything but gigabitethernet 0. Are multiple interfaces not supported in PI?

Having upgraded to 8.3 from 8.2 I and read much about the differences , it seems that 8.3 deals with NAT in a much more managed method.However I am confused on how one would NAT a network object to multiple interfaces? i.e I know you can specficy a NAT adddress within the network object howeveer this only allows you to specific a single IP address.What if I want to talk accross multiple interfaces how would I specify this?

We have an ASA 5510 firewall. There are 4 ports on it configured as 2 outside, one inside, and one DMZ. We have two cable modems attached to the outside ports. Our plan is to have the "inside" port directed to one outside port/cable modem, and the DMZ port directed to the other outside port/cable modem.
We have been able to get the "inside-to-outside" setup to work but not the "DMZ-to-outside" setup (at least at the same time).First off, is this possible? If so, what are we likely missing - some way to have a second default route for the DMZ?(My manager is the "Cisco person" here, not me, so I may not have enough info.

I am trying to enable a second WAN interface on our ASA.the end goal is to move all internet traffic to the new connection, but first i want to test it working.I have setup my computer as an object in the ASDM and the interface is configured correctly (same settings on a different router and that was working)I setup a route with a lower metric ( 1 lower than the default route which routes everything through current main internet interface) to route traffic from my computer out through the new interface but i am still connected on the old interface.I duplicated some of th NAT rules (but i would have thought if these werent working then i would have no internet connection anyway)

I am trying not to run before i can walk,.. so first thing I'm trying to do is ping out to a DNS server in the internet: 212.135.1.36 from my internal network.
- If I put a default gateway on my router, and set to 172.16.32.254 (Firewall Vlan100 interface) and ping,.. it works fine from my router.
- If put a default gateway on my switch below the router as 172.16.32.252 (VLAN100 interface of the router) and ping from the switch it doesnt work.
I assume its getting to the switch as I can ping the 172.16.32.252 from the switch so the router is dropping the packets... my question is why!?
Once this bit works,.. the intention is to route any external bound traffic that comes from VLAN100 to 172.16.32.254, external bound traffice from VLAN200 to 172.16.64.254 etc etc

we use LMS 3.2 in our network. We have a couple of 6509-V-E Switches with mutiple interfaces (VLAN interfaces and Layer 3 interfaces) The problem is, campus manager discovers the switch by a interface randomly...one time its a lay3 Interface and another one its a vlan interface which none of them are in DNS hence no name resolution can be made.
Is there a way to "tell" CM to us for instance the VLAN Management IP of the switch?

I have 2 routers ( Cisco 3845's) both running identical IOS's. Each router has identical 5 networks on it with one network each being different.I have HSRP set up on the identical 5 networks.Your standard Fail over senario.ON one of the routers one network is not seeing the other router in the same network, Will not Ping or traceroute.And HSRP stopped working ( both were thinking they were active. which of course brought the network to a halt. Non of the interfaces has any ACL on them, They are plugged into a Brand new Cisco 3560v2 switch. I have switches out the cables to eliminate that as an issues.

I have an ASA 5505 running 8.2(1), that is configured with three interfaces as follows:
Inside (security 100) 10.0.0.0 /24
Inside 2 (security 100) 192.168.0.0 /24
Outside (security 0) internet
Inside is connected to my internal network, inside 2 is connected to the network of a sister organization, outside is outside.
I'd like to be able to route between from inside to inside 2, and have NAT translate me to inside2's address.
I have inter-interface traffic configured, and when I use a NAT exemption, I can route fine. But the resources on network 2 must see my request as coming from the inside2 interface IP.

This is for an ASA 5505 with the base license...I have a situation where I will not have one interface in my outside VLAN, but instead I want to have interfaces 1-7 in my outside VLAN and interface0/0 in my inside VLAN.
Is this supported with the Base license, and if so how would I do this? Do I still just need to assign one IP address to the outside VLAN?
Or will I need to upgrade to the Security Plus license and put each interface in a separate outside VLAN, so in essence I would have 7 outside VLANs each with the same security level (0)?
My situation is that I have several partner networks that i want to "aggregate" thru my one ASA 5505. So each outside interface represents a separate partner (outside) network, each of which I want to get to from my inside network. Hence the many outside to one inside.

My client would like to have a wireless deployment between several differented offices in the city. There is connectivity between the different sites...but my main issue is, is this option really feasible. I was thinking of a centralized WLC like the 2504 coz of price + 36 APs, 2 at each site. The main worry is the network setup considering the fact that the APs have to communicate with the WLC so unpredictable network issues i believe will have a very huge impact.

Due to special circumstances we have 2 ISP links on an ASA5510. I am trying to terminate some L2L VPN tunnels on one link and others on the second ISP Link, eg below:
LOCAL FIREWALL

crypto map outside-map-isp1 interface ISP_1crypto map outside-map-isp2 interface ISP_2
crypto isakmp enable ISP_1crypto isakmp enable ISP_2
route ISP_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.254route ISP_2 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255 2.2.2.254
Establising the VPN tunnels in either direction when using ISP_1 works fine establishing in either direction from remote access users and multiple L2L tunnels (only showing one for example).
On ISP_2
1. Peer 3.3.3.3 device establishes a VPN tunnel, but the return traffic does NOT get back to devices on 3.3.3.3 tunnel.
2. The local firewall does NOT establish a VPN tunnel going to 3.3.3.3
It would seem to indicate that the problems lies with this multihomed firewall not directing the traffic correctly to either return down and establised VPN tunnel (point1) or to intiate a tunnel if none exists (point 2).
Reconfiguring the VPN tunnel peer for 3.3.3.3 to be on ISP_1 of the local firewall, all springs into life! There are sufficient license etc...

I never quite understood how to take advantage of the multiple network interfaces. Can it be done through a standard unmanaged Gbit switch?
I'm building a new desktop, probably using the ASUS P8Z77-V mobo, which has just one NIC.
