Access points join different WLC

• With the help of new access points with old WLC 4100; LWAPP layer 2 switching 3-tier

  Hi all

  We currently use two solutions Wiresless LAN - a 10 AP1230 access points-based autonomous (5 years) and a solution based on a Cisco WLC 4100 (4112, running 3.2) with 12 AP1010 LWAPP access points.

  First thing, we are considering to replace the stand-alone solution with the WLC one. However, I'm not sure if we can use the new access points such as the LAP1041N or the LAP1252G with our current 4100 WLC. Access reported data sheets 'Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 7.0 or later version' 'software '. Does this mean that these access points can only be used with controllers running 7.0 or later?

  If we are unable to use the new access points with our current WLC and need to buy a new controller: can we use access points AP1010 current with a new WLC as the Cisco 4402?

  Second thing, it is that we want to expand the networks configured on the WLC 4100 to another site that is connected via VPN wireless. Wireless Setup guide indicates that the LWAPP mode can be changed from Layer 2 to 3 layers so that the access points can be configured with an IP address, which allows you to place access points basically anywhere as long as IP connectivity exists between the AP and the WLC.

  Y does it as described in a document with the change of mode LWAPP layer 2 to 3 layers? Or ist just the following steps (if I understand correctly):

  -Change the Mode of Transport LWAPP on the controller of layer 2 to 3 layers

  -Creation of a PA-manager interface with an IP address in the same subnet as the management interface (tried that, without changing LWAPP mode transport first and not was not possible - error)

  With regard to different sites:

  -Configure option DHCP 43 with the IP address of the WLC or DNS with CISCO-LWAPP - CONTROLLER.localdomain

  -Make sure that the interface ap - manager can reach points on the different site

  Is it really just as simple as that? All information about it is very appreciated!

  / edit: I would also like to know if the 1260 series access point are backward compatible with 802. 11B. Whereas it is stated in 1040 and 1250 for example series data sheets, it is not particularly mentioned in 1260 data sheet.

  Thank you

  Michael

  Well, let's start with the simple question/answer

  With regard to different sites:

  -Configure option DHCP 43 with the IP address of the WLC or DNS with CISCO-LWAPP - CONTROLLER.localdomain

  -Make sure that the interface ap - manager can reach points on the different site

  Yes, it's as simple as that.

  As for other issues, looks like you would be better served with a forklift upgrade.  New controllers and new AP.

  Now, the AP 1230/1240/1250. all work on the 4.2, 1140 code starts with 5.2 and 1040/3500/1260 are 7.0

  The AP 1000 series is not supported after 4.2 code.

  Refer to here for the complete list of the AP and taken codes supported:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn7.0.html#wp610751

  From what I see, the 4100 is not supported after the train of 3.2.

  So, it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the upgrade.  If you are looking for a 80.211n support, you really want to be 5.2 or better, we had some problems with MRR + 40 Mhz channels, 4.2, 5 GHz band only.

  Hi Marc,

  Make sure first that your controller has software code 8.0.x or above, if first better it. Here's the code recommended by TAC

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/wireless-LAN-Controller-software/200046-TAC-recommended-AireOS.html

  Then, try the UX above deployment guide to begin. Under Advanced tab WLAN, you need to enable "of the first universal ap' in order to use this app provisioning & connect to the AP.

  If you have more than 1 AP, then you must start 1AP using this application. Other access points that you can feed them upward, while AP original is also powered, so they'll use protocal called NDP & start them automatically

  Let us know how it goes

• Mixture of different Access Points "Country."

  Hello!

  Is it possible to connect an existing WLC-4402-25-K9 AIR-LAP1242AG-S-K9 Access Points that are populated with AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9? The difference is in the 's' and 'A' in the part numbers. The APs "S" could not somehow reach the WLC. Please suggest what needs to be done. Thank you very much!

  As long as your WLC runs 4.1 or higher, you have AP with several country codes. You just need to add all the country codes, you want to be allowed to join the controller.

• Access point does not connect to my WLC

  Hi all

  I have a strange...

  I have 5 AP1000 used to connect to my WLC without problem, now they will not join with the WLC.

  I have the following error in syslog "no Council payload of data found in the join query? I'm also 10 AP1242 who register without problem. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get these babies to join the WLC?

  See you soon

  Colin

  Yes, 1000 access points are supported only on code 4.2... They do not have enough memory to support higher levels of code...

• Cisco WLC license evaluation of Access Point

  Hello

  I would like to know what is happening to access connected to a Cisco WLC points if the evaluation license reached its expiration date and other licenses have not yet been installed all connected access points would cease immediately operation?

  Kind regards

  Mark

  Yes, they would stop working.

  Note: when you add licenses a reboot is required. Even if the number of supported the HA increases on reset controller is always necessary for these devices to register on the controller under the permanent license. I once added licenses and when I saw the number of the AP increase - I experimented with the restart - and when evaluating lic. expiration of my AP dropped the controller.

• Deployment of ISE in the wireless infra WLC (single 1240AG Access Point)

  Hi all

  I am having access point 1240AG and plans to deploy ISE as external radius server. I would like to know how must set up in AP/ISE deifferent authorization policy. If I can use named ACL or VLAN (CoA) as an application types without use of WLC. If so, how?

  Thanks in advance.

  No it's not possible, because the ios code that access points operate in stand-alone mode do not support change authorization (CoA). They will authenticate the user, and when a coa event is fired to ISE, that's when this deployment is broken and gets it lost.

  Thank you

• Monitoring of the Access Point

  Dear all,

  I have WCS and WLC with 90 LWAP Access Points. I joined the WCS and WLC and I am able to see all the LWAP in the GUI of WCS.

  The requirement is, when ever some LWAPs are down, I want to get an alert somehow to report it. Now, without knowing how to do it, I just saw the total quantity and if some LWAP is off, I find it difficult to find one that is broken.

  Can you please suggest me the appropriate method to get the solution

  RBK

  Hello rbk,.

  for simplicity, you can try to change the name of the access point to their specific locations. draw the map of the ap. Once they are in offline mode you will immediately see that ap is declining and where they are, first of all by the names of ap, then by their current location.

  It's better to do before setting the each AP. but still feasible if the AP is already set. you will have more work, however.

  have your floor plan ready with the exact locations of the AP. Note the mac address you set the AP once the ap registers with the controller, you can match with the floor plan and change the name of the access through its exact location point. example Bldg1-GF-AP01-lobby, Bldg1-GF-AP02-Hall, Bldg1-1F-AP01-reception... etc...

  import map in the WCS and assign the accordngly to the ap.

  You'll know exactly which ap is turned off and where exactly.

  hope this helps!

• installation of switchport lwapp running of multiple ssid access point

  Hi all

  When you set up a hotspot lwapp, must I trunk all the VLANS on the port to the ap? or do I only allow the vlan management for the access point? That is to say 1 vlan and normal access port?

  see you soon

  Carl

  If it's a LWAPP AP, then the switchport should be an ACCESS PORT... It's just to get the IP to the AP, then the AP wil try to join the WLC... once that the AP has joined, the SSID and the rest through the LWAPP tunnel...

• How to assign static ip to 1131AG Lightweight Access Point before register you for the controller

  Hello

  I have controller Wireless LAN that is installed at the head office, we have allowed H-harvest so that the remote access can be registered with headquarters controller.

  Now, I have an access point to one of the remote site now, I want to give a static IP address to the AP through that console too, before saving the controller.

  I have the console with sub name:

  ...... MAC address... >

  But if I type any command to assign the IP address, it displays the error "command disabled."

  I join calrification details.

  I know that I can connect to this access point to the headquarters LAN and registered with WLC and then via WLC GUI, I can assign static IP address, but I need solution to assign a static until you save to WLC IP not.

  I will be obliged if I get a solution

• How add and configure a new controller AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 Access Point WLAN-AIR-WLC4402-12-K9

  How add and configure a new controller AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 Access Point WLAN-AIR-WLC4402-12-K9

  'option 43 hexagonal f104c0a80a05' looks right to me...

  If you're talking about only a few APs, you could hold the AP in the same vlan as the WLC Management Interface and allow discovery by diffusion...    Once he knows the controller you could put in a different subnet and you don't even need option 43.

  But then again, Option 43 I guess is a safe bet to ensuring that the always AP knows an IP address to find out.

• Time Capsule bridge and access point?

  Hello

  I have a question about the network wireless of my TC. Our provider has installed a new router. These router can not work as bridge, telephone and TV are also connected to this router. Because 2 wifi networks do not work, I wonder what is the best set-up for the network? The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? So that I can put it off the wireless of the TC or the ISP router: can I use the TC-wifi (create a new network) or wifi existing ISP router to connect with wireless devices?

  -Do I lose speed when I'm with 2 devices on my network: TC as the ISP as a router and Access Point.

  (I always thought that 1 unit for router and access point is the best configuration.)

  -Are faster backup copies using the TC wireless or it does not matter when I backup on the wireless ISP?

  Some maybe stupid questions, but thanks in advance. Greetings.

  Because 2 wifi networks do not work

  Many people think that this is the case... but this isn't so.

  You can use several wireless networks... all attached to the same router. There is enough bandwidth available in the channels wireless for the operation of 3 different wireless networks nearby each other... and using 5 GHz adds much more.

  The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  The configuration of TC in bridge is correct.

  Do not turn off the TC wireless... Provide a different name for the ISP wireless router and connect your computer... then you can get internet and make backups on the TC without overloading the ISP router wireless.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? If I disable the wireless of the TC or the ISP router:

  Turn on Wi - Fi in both.

  A physical configuration, it is recommended to have say separation of 1 M (3 feet) between the ISP router and the TC to a min. But it would be even better to have the TC at near the Mac who performs backups TM and related to the ISP router with ethernet.

• Satellite P875 - 32L - is unable to reconnect to the last connected WIFI access point

  I have a problem to reconnect to the last connected WLAN provider, with my Satellite P875 32 L.
  WLAN is switched on and shows all the neighbors access points, but it fails to whoever I logged before the reboot, or before you go to the rescue of the list.

  I'm going in service options for WLAN, sometiimes up to 5 times, then it undermines meet usually.
  It's well annoying.

  I have had this with the other 30 satellite of P870 too, but something so this behavior have disappeared. So there must be a solution.

  Hello

  You're talking about your private Wlan at home?
  If you had the same problem using another laptop too, it could be possible that this isn't a problem with the network s laptop wireless card or Wlan configuration but with the WLan router.

  You should definitely reset/reboot the rooter.
  In addition, check the settings of the IP router and or mac address filtering.
  Change also the type of encryption and Wlan channel.

  You have to try different combination turn off just to test the WiFi encryption and check if the laptop would connect to the Wlan open correctly.
  But the Wlan encryption must always be defined in order to avoid improper use of the Wlan access point.
