MSM410 Wireless Enterprise Deployment / HP Or Ubiquiti
Jan 13, 2013
I currently work for an enterprise that want to deploy wireless network (6AP for now) and I'm the one who will manage and install it.I had initially planed to deploy Ubiquiti network because I've heard lot of good thing about them. But they did not wait me and bought (crappy?) HP access point (MSM410)
What do you think about HP wireless network ? They did not yet buy the access point controller and I'm not sure they want to buy one.I can't find any review on the HP solutions it looks like no one is using it.
Do you recommend me to continue with the HP solution and buy a HP controller or go with Ubiquiti and rebuy the access points (no so much expensive in comparison with the price of the HP controller alone)

Is Cisco WCS mandatory when deploying an outdoor enterprise mesh solution?If I am goin to use the 1552E purely as an outdoor access point ,do I really need the Cisco WCS?

I want to extend wireless from one building to another. I want the second building's AP to also provide access to wireless clients in that building (small).
Can Engenius or Ubiquiti extend an existing wireless network? It looks like the Engenius ENS200EXT I have would work if I had another one in building 1. It doesn't seem like it's meant to work with other brands.
I have a Ubiquiti Picostation that I could use for this as well if it supports it. The existing wireless router in building 1 is a Linksys model.

i got 2 Ubiquiti AP's cause everyone says they are the best thing since sliced bread, with that i presume i am doing something wrong, or something isn't playing nice together.
UniFi01
UniFi02
set as DHCP on each individual AP, and i am using a Cisco RV1280W router, default settings, only changed the default password so far and upgraded the firmware.i have both UniFi's and my computer on the Cisco switch.
i run the UniFi management software, it shows me 2 pending devices, so i choose Adopt, give them names and off i go.The AP's both go green, and stay green, but then the software decides to tell me the AP's are disconnected yet i can ping their IP's fine from my computer and from the and even if i leave them alone, they don't show as connected again, i have to power cycle the router, the AP's to get them to connect and then they just drop again eventually.
i wanted to get these set up and working but worried now perhaps thw UniFi isnt liking the Cisco RV180W or something?

I want to reinstall the MSE image that was sent to me by Cisco TAC Team, however when I try to reinstall the MSE Application, however when I try to install it, the CD boots and show me the Red Hat enterprise image, then sends me black screen with the message "Kernel alive, Kernel direct mapping tables up to 480000000 @ 8000-1b000" and it stay there.

I'm looking for documentation on the Enterprise mesh solution based on 7.0 MR1...In this release e.g 802.11n APs are supported and clean air for the client radio etc...The current Cisco Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide is based on the previous 7.0 release.Apart from the configuration guide I can't find any additional guides.

So I have been tasked with setting up WPA2-Enterprise on the network. Right now for testing I have a single Cisco 1240AP, and a test Windows Domain. The Windows domain is at 2003 functional level, but has been extended to have the Wireless policies, and we have a 2008 DC in the test network also.
Is there any definitive guide to setting up a WPA2-Enterprise wireless network? Most of what I find is mostly client side. I am trying to get the Group Policy setup to push down to the client machines.

We have 3 x WAP4410N at new office setup in Singapore. Customer asked us to setup those 3 AP to make client auth against an ACS 4.2 sitting in US office. All the user notebooks were joined to Windows domain in US office, before sent out to Singapore office. We configured APs with WPA2 Enterprise Mixed mode and entered radius server address and secrects correctly. Logging from ACS shows that users are authenticated successfully but, on the user notebooks, authentication never seems successful and keeps authenticating.

We have a WAP4410N wireless ap configured for WPA2-Enterprise. Initially everything works. Issue the user the proper certificate and they sign on correctly but once they disconnect and try to reconnect later it get stuck on "Validating Identity". The request never get to RADIUS server (no success/failure log entry, no radius traffic). Once I reboot the access point everyone can connect again but as soon as they disconnect the problem happen again.We testing other security settings (WPA-ENT, RADIUS(!), WPA2-Personal etc) and no problems. With older firmware have the same issue.Operating system: XP SP3, RADIUS server: IAS. Firmware: 2.0.1.0

I have a custom that needs to deploy a wireless solution, in attach plan, does not want a solution with WLAN controller.I proposed a solution with AIR-AP1024N-E-K9. What solution should implement in order to have a good coverage? Repeater, bridge point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or something else ?

I have read in some documents that we should have one Ap for more or less 50 clients. But i also read for example in ap 2600 specs that it support maximum 200 connections per radio.So for example in a conference room (10mx5meter) for 150 users in theory can i have just on Ap2600 for web surfing or i should have 3?

Does Cisco have an official number of how many AP541s are supported directly by a UC560? these are standalones and I know they are configured in a max of 10 to a cluster, but how many clusters can you have? We are looking at a hospital installation with one UC560 and 25 AP541s.

We are starting to greatly increase our access point density throughout our floors and I am wondering if we are using the correct channel assignments. We are using LAP 1140's and 3500's. We have some locations that have have anywhere from 4 to 9 floors in one location. These are consecutive floors that have 8 to 11 APs per floor. There are also other businesses in these buildings that use wireless as well. We use 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n. Right now the channels are set to the default, (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 149, 153, 157, 161 for 802.11a) and (1, 6, 11 for 802.11b/g/n). I was wondering that since we are increasing our density whether we should enable other 802.11b/g/n channels outside of 1,6,11. I know the other channels can overlap but with correct placement I am wondering if it would improve our wireless coverage since we wouldn't have 8 to 11 APs fighting for only 3 channels. Any experience with enabling other 802.11b/g/n channels?

I want to install a pair of 5508 to manage the whole wireless solution and I have a few questions regarding deployment, Please refer to the topology. The management and ap manager interfaces are conifgured with the same ip address range and thus the same vlan which is 10.160.254.X/24 also all the APs(1,2,3) in that building have the same IP address range for management which will be manually conifgured. The AP's (4 and 5) on the other building have another range of IP address for management and here is the first question. Will the AP's 4 and 5 join the WLC if I manually configure them to point to it? I know I can group interfaces and use them with the same SSID BUT the WLAN vlan in both sides are different and are separated by a router and hence the next question: Can this be done even if they are separated? and if I can, how is this possible, should I configure a dynamic interface in the WLC with an IP of that network even if it doesn't exists on that side? I'm kind of confused with this.

I am doing a predictive survey for a very large mixed environment facility.I have advised this customer that it would be best to have a professional site survey done and he understands but has requested I do a preliminary predictive survey and recommendation. This will have both open area manufacturing and also warehouse type areas with 18ft racks and cages, The actual ceiling height is approx. 30 ft. but the building steel I-Beams are at 18 ft and would be the mounting height of the AP. I already have several installs in other buildings with the exact same structure and setup using 1242 AP and AIR-ANT2465P-R and AIR-ANT5170P-R patch antennas mounted to a board, pointing down and at 18ft.
My question is: I would like to use either the 3500E or 3600E AP with diversity patch antennas (3600E & air-ant2566 for example) but see that Cisco also recommends the 2dbi stubby Omni dipoles in this type environment. I'd just like to get some opinions and thoughts on AP and antennas.

Q: If i m going to do a Bonjour Gateway deployment, do i still need the vlan select feature on the wism's or is enabling multicast enough?
Details of the Q:
I m working with WISM s and WISM2;s, 1130 and 3602 ap;s. Cores are 6509-E's.
i m going to implement a Bonjour gateway (which is an Aerohive ap, no wifi enabled, its just a Bonjour gateway)
This ap is connected with a trunk port (to a 6509-E) and has the wifi client vlans on the trunk as allowed vlans. It also has an allowed vlan for AppleTV;s which will be wired devices.
The Aerohive gateway gets an ip address in every wifi subnet, so far so good.
I was thinking that if i enable multicast :
- globally on the wisms, with mcast-mcast distribution
- on the SVI's for the wifi client vlans
- on te SVI's of the vlans for cisco aps
- on the SVI for AppleTV
- SVI for wism management
- SVI for the Bonjour gateway
then do i still need vlan select? Maybe a stupid question, but i m not sure how to interpret some things in this document.

I 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.

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.

We are looking to deploy an indoor mesh deployment in an area where radar might be an issue.know that when using 1500 series APs you cannot choose UNII-1 channels even if they are deployed indoors.My question is if you can use a UNII-1 backhaul with indoor APs (3600 series for example) in an indoor mesh deployment.

I used the AP 1552 Link Calculator to determine the coverage area of my AP deployment, however I have some concerns.I would like to know what the maximum radio range refers to when using an omni-directional antenna. Is this distance the radius or diameter of the coverage area? [code]

I'm used to seeing DWDM and muxes being used in the service provider world, but when and why would an enterprise want to use this kind of gear?The two basically lets you combine streams of signaling from many different physical sources into one media, but can't a VLAN trunk or a routed link, for example, do the same? Sure, they all operate at different layers of the OSI model, but in all cases you're still getting separate streams of data from Point A, putting it all on one wire, and sending it to Point B.

Not sure if this belongs here on in a different section. We are in the process of purchasing a new ACS 5.x appliance. I would like to take a look at implementing WPA2 Enterprise with our Cisco APs.

How to treat your enterprise network in terms of security? Do you firewall between sites? Between subnets? I've been a little gung-ho with packet filtering, and the more the network is growing the harder is becoming to make that scalable and manageable. It's looking like a pretty good idea to just open up access to/from all my sites. I'm going to continue locking down user areas where we can't necessarily trust the boxes, but all our server subnets I think can be opened up to unfettered access.

if any of you are controlling iPhones within your organizations. I was hoping to use JUNOS Pulse licenses on my SA700 to control things, but all they offer for iOS devices is SSL VPN. I can do remote wipes with activesync, but I'm worried about cloud backups of corporate data on mobileme, and setting and enforcing security policies in a scalable way. I know I can manually deploy XML config from the iPhone configuration utility, but that's a bit of a PITA for remote devices (ie other countries) that I'llnever have physical access to.

Recently bought a laptop HP Pavilion DM4 with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit for use in a college wireless environment. The school insists on WPA2 Enterprise connection, which is supposedly the recommended Microsoft security protocol for Win 7. I have all the correct settings, such that I can routinely connect to the wireless network but on this model HP I consistently get speeds way under 10kbs, while if I use EXACT same settings on a different Lenovo, Dell, or other models of HP get speeds of over 5MG. Yes 500x faster.Of course HP wanted to blame the network, but after sending 2 technicians to visit on campus, they agreed it was their hardware, so they sent a replacement unit. Unfortunately, the replacement unit has the EXACT same problem. BTW the problem computers do connect flawlessly to other wifi networks at full speed, just not the WPA2 Enterprise network.
