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.

    We have about forty points of access Cisco Aironet 1131AG spread over four floors and they all have a static IP (BVI1) on the same SSID, customers will be on its own virtual local area network (dhcp on 3750 switch) and they use several channels (1,6,11).  Cisco Wireless Control System is pending. This wireless network should support roaming for customers (there will be Wi - Fi tags of multiple AeroScout and wireless laptops). To measure the strength of the wireless signal and wireless coverage on each floor. My questions are:

    1. How to measure the strength of the wireless signal: we must meet at least three APs available with signal excellent (I guess for the WCS needs that will determine the position of the client in the building)? We thought to use NetStumbler and a few laptops with wifi and measure as many points as we can as simpler thing. Or should we use something like Cisco Aironet Client adapters for our mobile phone and then use Cisco Aironet Client Utility (is it worth buying for our analysis and measurement)? Any other idea?
    2. What signal level should we consider for a good wireless (dBm)?
    3. That we should propose for authentication, authorization and management accounting? What happens to the roaming wireless? I did not quiteunderstand WCS, WDS and WLC-that should be used for above tasks?

    Thanks in advance.

    "Use the command on the AP" sh dot11 associations "will give you the clients associated with success.  If you add the MAC address of the client at the end of the command, you will get detailed information.  Look under "Signal Strength" and "Signal to noise".  Under the strength of the Signal, you want a value of-75 dBm or lower (lower values the better).  -76 dBm and is bad.  Under Signal-noise, you want a value of 25 dBm or more (values higher the better).

    To measure the strength of the signal, I use Airmagnet, but you can use Netstumbler or Cisco Wireless Site Survey.

  • Access points join different WLC

    Hello

    I have a remote control module (NME-AIR-WLC25-K9) installed in a Cisco No. 2851 SRI, this configuration is in my remote site, we are connected through network of the MAN. In our main office, I have a cisco wireless controller 4402. so whenever I have install an access point in my remote instead of the remote site WLC joiining site, the access point joins my controller 4402 main office, I have no why this is the case, the AP does not even reach the remote site WLC... I do not set up high availability and these two controller are separate RF network.

    the version of the firmware in NME-AIR-WLC25-K9 is 7.0.98.0...

    the version to the other controller is 6.0.196.0

    Please let me know what else I need to check as soon as possible

    Thank you

    knockaert

    This is not the point.

    Assume that you have two controllers: WLC - a and WLC - B.

    You have an AP that interested in joining WLC - a but instead will join always WLC - B.

    The solution is to set up "High Avlailability" with details WLC - A entered as the PDC.  This will force the access point to the correct controller: WLC.-a.

    Does that answer your question?

  • Replacement for Cisco AIR-AP1120B Access Point.

    Since the AIR-AP1120B is no longer available (new) what replaces it?

    The 1120 is replaced by the 1130.  The 1130 will be replaced by 1140.  You can always buy the 1130 and 1140 is available since mid-2009.  The main difference for both is that the latter, 1140, supports 802.11n.

  • Cisco WLC 2504 internal DHCP does not work properly

    Hi all

    I m trials with a Cisco WLC 2504 and some APs of 1832. I set up a DHCP scope on the interface of the controller with 2

    a large number of different configurations, but the DHCP protocol does not work and Don t Access Point to obtain an IP address. My first question: is it possible to do DHCP for Access Points or only for wireless clients?

    These are my interfaces:

    Interface of the PA-Manager:

    My DHCP scope:

    Advanced DHCP:

    I forgot something? Is there anyone using DHCP for its access points?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    On Cisco WLC internal DHCP, you can add the option 43 to say where APs must register. In this case, they will try to resolve the DNS CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER or CISCO-LWAPP entry.

    Let me explain briefly how AP-Manager works on WLC:

    1. Boots of Access Point and sends a discovery request to the management interface of the controller using the intellectual property you configured as DHCP Option 43 (as described above, it can be resolved by the DNS entry)
    2. Controller, sends it a response discovered that contains the name of the system, addresses AP-Manager, the number of access points already connected to each interface AP-Manager and the overall capacity of the controller.
    3. Joints access point controller using the less loaded interface AP Manager.

    With this, every AP Manager must have a good configured interface and be connected to a different port, no LAG.

    I drop a post here sometimes there is which might help:

  • IP E1200 as access point ranges

    I have a Cisco 880 (provided by my company and as such, I have little access to the control panel). I have a Linksys E1200 (Cisco) to use as an access point. Installation of Cisco (love it!), but the simple configuration gives the E1200 a range of ip addresses from 192.168.1.1 while Cisco 880 range is 192.168.185.113. I need to have connections in the same rage of ip (192.168.185.xxx) for remote monitoring. What is the best way to achieve this? Bridge mode (I have no need to Mode of reviews I've read is not possible in bridged mode)? Disable DHCP on the E1200? I've been roaming forums, but there's still a few confuson. Guidance gratefully received.

    Hello

    You have two configuration options for the desired configuration. You can make the LAN to LAN (cascading) configuration or in Bridge Mode. Well the 2 types of installation are the same. The only difference is that you must manually configure all on LAN to LAN setup.  It includes turning off DHCP and manually configure an IP address for the E1200 (which will be the secondary router). Configure the router bridge Mode automatically disables router functions and sets the router as a simple switch/access point.

    For me, I will configure using the method of the Bridge Mode. It's going to be much easier that way. Please click on the following links learn more about the waterfall and Bridge Mode:

  • Ordered the wrong access point!

    I thought that I had ordered a 1130ag but looks like I ordered a 1131ag LWWAP.

    Please could someone tell me what the difference between a 1130 and 1131. I understand I can load the IOS on the light AP software using a tftp server, but I do not know which exit to load on this subject. 12.3JX, 12.3JA, 12.3JEA, 12.3JEB! can anyone help please? either by the way, I am in the United Kingdom, do not know if this affects image to install. Thank you.

    Hi Paul,.

    This happens all the time, so it shouldn't be a problem :) I'm guessing that you have received this AP - AIR - LAP1131AG - x - K9 LWAPP. When you really wanted this AP - AIR-AP1131G-x-K9 Cisco IOS software. Look at the comparison;

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/ps6087/products_data_sheet0900aecd801b901c.html

    That being said, you should be good to go with 12.3 (11) JA1.

    To access Cisco Aironet to Cisco IOS version 12.3 Points (11) JA1

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/wireless/access_point/iOS/release/notes/b11jar1n.html

    Cisco IOS version 12.3 (11) JA1 supports 32 MB independent platforms. 16 MB platforms and platforms supported by Cisco IOS version 12.3 (8) JA and earlier versions (350, 1100, 1130, 1200 and 1230 access points and access point/bridge 1300 series) are supported by Cisco IOS version 12.3 (8) JEA1.

    Do not install a "JX" (it is a software image support to upgrade and recovery Cisco Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP));

    These release notes describe features, improvements, and caveats for Cisco IOS release 12.3 (11) JX1.

    Note: This version must be loaded on points of access to the plant or by using the lightweight stand-alone mode upgrade tool. Your access point may become unusable if you install this software without using the upgrade tool.

    Returning to standalone Access Point

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp161272

    You can convert an access point of the mode light return to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS version that supports stand-alone mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3 (7) JA or earlier version). If the access point is associated with a controller, you can use the controller to load the version of Cisco IOS. If the access point is not associated with a controller, you can load the version of Cisco IOS using TFTP.

    By using a TFTP server to revert to a previous version

    Follow these steps to return mode LWAPP stand-alone mode by loading a version of Cisco IOS using a TFTP server:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Step 1 the IP address of the computer on which the server software runs TFTP should range from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.

    Step 2 make sure the PC contains the file access point (for example, c1200-k9w7 - tar.122 - 15.JA.tar for a 1200 Series access point) in the TFTP server folder and the TFTP server is activated.

    Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the folder of the TFTP server c1200-k9w7 - tar.default for a series of 1200 point, c1130-k9w7 - tar.default of access for a series of 1130 access point and c1240-k9w7 - tar.default for a series of 1240 access point.

    Step 4 connect the PC to the access point using an Ethernet category 5 cable (CAT5).

    Step 5 disconnect the power to the access point.

    Step 6 push the MODE button and hold the button while you reconnect power to the access point.

    Step 7 hold the MODE button until the status of the LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), then release.

    Step 8 wait until restarting access point, as indicated by the LEDs become green followed the status LED flashes green.

    Step 9 after the access point reboots, reconfigure using the GUI or the CLI.

  • 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!

  • Beginner needs help with Aironet 1131 G Wireless Access Point

    I have a new Cisco Aironet 1131 G wireless access point.  It takes an IP address and I can ping this address.  However, I can't access it via the graphical user interface based on the web or the CLI.  I preformed reset.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't access that means? you are not able to go to the CONFIG T of the CLI prompt? and if you are in the same subnet as the AP, are you not able to open to the top of the GUI? If you are not able to then, with the command 'show version' on the AP CLI and see if your image is "RCVKW8". If so you will need to convert the same IOS using the method below.

    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

  • The upgrade of Cisco 1600 access points

    A customer has Cisco 1600 12 access point and they want to add 3 access points. These access points are autonomous access points and the customer is tired to make individual changes by access points.  I suggested that the new access point be base controller, so my question; These existing access points can be upgraded to LWAPP? Or do need to be replaced? Or this controller one web-based access to existing contact points and be controlled.

    so my question; can these existing access point be upgraded to LWAPP? Or do they need to be replaced?
    Yes, existing AP can be converted into TOUR mode with a recovery image. Here's how you can do it (note that there are several ways) http://mrncciew.com/2012/10/20/lightweight-to-autonomous-conversion/ http://mrncciew.com/2013/12/13/ap-conversion-using-mode-button/ is the good idea to get a WLC (like 2504) to manage in a simple way, rather managing them individually. See below the product bundles available. If this is the case, you will get with license 25AP 2504 for almost for free when you buy 2 x 1702.

    If you do not have WLC, you will need to convert this access point in stand-alone mode. See below on this post. You must required image before this conversion. If you have a support contract with Cisco you can download from Cisco.com

  • 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

    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.

  • Access point Cisco does not recognize correctly entered the WPA pre-shared key

    My router is a Cisco DPC/EPC2325 DOCSIS residential gateway with wireless access Point. When connecing to Internet via a wireless adapter, this device does not accept the good WPA pre-shared key. I have no similar problem with another PC. Please notify.

    You mean that you corrected it?
    Great! Thanks for sharing this info with us!
