WLC CISCO - VMWare and additional network ports

Hello world

Hardware wise, I managed a 8540 and a CISCO 5508 wireless lan controllers, so know around the GUI.

With the release of the VMWare Cisco WLC, it is ideal for a development and test lab environment. However anyone who has used will know it out of the box it does support 2 network cards (one for service and the other for management / data).

The question:

How to add additional network ports? In VMWare, it's easy, but how do you get the CISCO config to recognize? I have searched the forums and other areas, but can't seem to find someone who did this.

See you soon

Christian

Hello

Yes you are right, you can use only 2 network cards on VmWLC. never tried adding other network cards.

But what you want to do? Is to add a virtual interface on your WLC?

If so, you can configure your VmWare interface as a trunk and then create all your WLC virtual interface by defining the id vlan. Which makes sense for you?

Thank you

  • WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ANY ADDITIONAL NETWORK (DIAL-UP AND VPN) OTHER THAN THE WIRELESS NETWORK

    ehmm I just installed nokia 6600 pc suite on my computer so I can access the internet on my computer through the usb cable. Installation and drivers have been installed correctly. I can access the internet on the handset but when trying to connect to the internet via USB with the computer "I get a message that windows cannot find any additional network." Its really disturbing that I can do to fix this. Can someone help me please.

    Even if a USB device, it does not create a new network connection for you.  I fear also that you use a regular USB cable - those connections often require a crossover cable (but more on that later and I guess it should work it is how it is advertised).  Go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing center / set up a connection or network / and choose the first option (you can also check the main page to see if the connection is listed but I doubt it).  Choose to set up a new connection and follow the instructions - ensuring that you enter the correct settings when it is required.  You should perhaps install device drivers, firmware and or software for the device to work properly - read the installation mode (and call technical assistance from Nokia to help you put in place - they know more about what we do and should be happy to guide you through the process and even to set the settings on your computer until you log - that's what I would do in your before circumstane even of) ask for help here).

    To start / Control Panel / Device Manager and check all the new drivers (double clck on them) to confirm that they say that they do not work properly.  Go to start / Control Panel / Add Haedware and have the system check new hardware devices - if it finds, install them (it is perhaps what is missing in this process).

    I hope this helps.  If nothiing suggested I bring, don't hesitate not to contact Nokia for assistance - I'm sure they'll have you place and operate at any time.  Keep me in the loop.

    Good luck!

  • Configuring the additional server ports

    Hi, if I use 2 ports per chassis of the server and want to add another 2, in addition to plug the cables and the settings, on the interconnection ports to "Set up as a Server Port" y at - it something else which is necessary and there is no interruption of traffic?

    Hello David,.

    If the links between IOM and FI server ports are individual links, then you will recognize the chassis to initialize the new links. This will cause disturbances of the network for a few seconds.

    There is no need to re - recognize the chassis if there is a channel of port of fabric between the IOM and FI.

  • Help - best practices or guide line to add additional network cards.

    Hello...

    I seem to have a problem with adding additional network adapters in the ESX 3.5 servers.

    2 x patches up-to-date ESX Server 3.5 and HA Enabled.

    Each server already contains 6 cards (3 x Dual port NIC)

    I put 4 several NICs (2 x Dual port NIC)

    I had a bad experience with the addition of additional network cards before, lose the console service and overall. (new numbering)

    Somehow, I fixed that in fact separate old number and re-binder with new number assigned.

    Is there a best practices or procedures in this respect?

    Anyone can point me in right direction, URL, Blog or even simple command line to refresh my memory...?

    Thank you.

    It's easy:

  • WSD port for printers and TCP/IP ports monitor, what is the difference?

    There are a lot of discussions on IP etc. addresses for printer problems. There is no mention of a new feature for the port for printers, WSD port for plug-and-play printers, I assume that the IP addresses have no importance with WSD, my printer is vaguely configured for the WSD port and TCP/IP port, can someone please expain

    Here is a description I found

    The WSD Port Monitor is a new printer port monitor in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.  This port monitor supports printing on network devices that are designed to include Web Services for devices (WSD) technology.  Services Web for devices allows devices connected to the IP-based network announce their functionality and to provide these services to customers using the Web Services Protocol.  Clients and devices WSD communicate on the network using a series of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages on UDP and HTTP (S).  WSD for devices offers a plug-and-play network experience that is similar to the installation of a USB device.  Services Web for devices also defines a security profile that can be extended to provide additional protection and authentication by using certificates based on the device.

    WSD is not a port, but a port monitor.  A port monitor looks at information from the TCP/IP port and makes routing or changes based on what happens in the port.

    This link has some in the description of the depth of the WSD port monitor:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/02/11/WS2008-the-WSD-port-monitor.aspx

    Back to the comparison of the IP address as a P.O. box.  Once the letter arrives in the POST box, someone needs to come empty the box or letters are going no where.

    When the data comes in the TCP/IP port a port monitor is where I look for that to happen.  The WSD port monitor would take over this function from the standard TCP/IP port monitor.

  • Tecra 8100: Don't know if the Network Port Replicator II is working properly

    I had a PA3017E-1PRP, i.e. a Network Port Replicator II, for my Tecra 8100. The fact is: I don't know if it works. I plug the computer in and no new material appears. At least the 3Com NETWORK adapter should be recognized, but no sign of life is presented at all.

    In addition, the USB ports does not work, but at least, the leds of the watch of the computer there is come from there because they show that battery is charging and the power comes from the DC.

    So, how can I check that everything works correctly? The computer is Windows XP SP2 installed, and I installed all the drivers and the support of the utilities (common modules, mobile and other extensions) util Toshiba USA and Toshiba Configfree of Toshiba Asia...

    Hi Toka

    I really put t know why you install software mix on your device. In my opinion, you should install European tools and utilities if you live in Europe. But if everything works it is also OK. I just want to make this comment because I don't know if all tools can consort with each other.

    As much I know this unit only is not supported for Windows XP Home in Europe. If the US page has mobile extensions for Windows XP Home edition, I assume that it has been tested.

    You can use a ports from there or all of them are dead?

    Activate NAT on the WRT or add a static route for 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0 to 10.0.10.2 on your isa server computer.

    Of course, you only want wireless, there is not need to use the WRT as a router. You can set the WRT back to DHCP on internet settings. Set the address LAN IP of 10.0.10.2 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. Disable the DHCP server on the WRT. Then one of the LAN wire ports of the WRT to the ISA Server. Do not use the internet port on the WRT!

    Now, you have configured the WRT as simple access point. So you should use your ISA Server to serve DHCP IP addresses inside 10.0.10.0/24...

  • Cisco Security Agent cannot close port 135/tcp on Windows hosts

    Hello

    I met with the problem that Cisco Security Agent cannot close port 135/TCP on PC windows (XP or Win7).

    I configured the network access control module to prevent all client/server connections to port tcp/135 of the rule.

    I checked my police using nmap, so this port (TCP/135) 20 minutes shows as filtered and I see connect event monitor on the CSA MC, over the next 20 minutes he see as open and no newspaper doesn't show. (not exact time, then it maybe 30 minutes or 5, this varies)

    Can someone explain how TCP/135 works and it is possible to close it using the CSA?

    Thanks in advance

    There is another question for the same problem on the forums (see: CSA 6.0.2.145 problem with windows firewall 7). I wrote: -.

    "I advanced and tested in the laboratory with winXP and CSA 602-149 (later). I've defined a rule with DENY tcp/135 and ran the nmap and reports of open (wireshark performances to the syn syn - ack). I changed it to a REFUSAL of PRIORITY and now closed nmap reports (wireshark shows restore the syn). Through the CLI, netstat - a watch the pc listening on tcp/135 & disabling the syn CSA Gets the syn - ack response. For me, this means a few flaws. 1: DENY should block tcp135 syn & 2: CSA does not send reset (it needs to be reset). Is it possible to open a TAC case and put my name (mwinnett) in it, and I'll open a defect. »

  • Cisco JOINT and IPS hardware bypass

    Hi all

    I have a question about the Cisco JOINT, ASA - AIP - SSM (IPS) and material of the IPS 4200 bypass unit series. Please let me know if the material fails in both cases how to cross traffic. Is there any circumvention of integrated equipment built in the same

    Concerning

    Ankur

    Sorry for the late reply. I've been on vacation for a week.

    ByPass hardware is not available for the JOINT-2 no matter if you use inline vlan pairs or couples inline interface.

    For devices need special interface cards or a hardware bypass switch separate, and none of them are available on the JOINT-2.

    You must configure your network so that there is a second way around the JOINT 2 JOINT-2 failure.

    This can be done with a standard network cable.

    Suppose you have your JOINT-2 configured for inline vlan VLAN 10 matching and 20.

    Configure a standard switchport as an access port on vlan 10.

    Set up an another standard switchport as an access port on vlan 20.

    Now using a standard network cable connect these 2 all switch ports.

    Stop your JOINT-2 and traffic should now be passed through this network cable and your network connectivity must be maintained.

    Bring your JOINT-2 backup, and now spanning tree runs and will choose the JOINT-2 or the network as the main way and the other cable will set in a State of block.

    Run ' show vlan spanning-tree 10 ' and ' show vlan spanning tree 20 "to determine if the cable ports or port JOINT-2 is in a BLK State.»

    If the cable ports are in a State BLK, then you don't need to modify the spanning tree.

    If the JOINT-2 port is in a State BLK, then you need to change the spanning tree cost and/or priority for JOINT-2 port by using the following commands:

    -[No] port-channel channel_number-STP intrusion detection doesn't cost port_cost

    Defines the cost of port tree covering for the data port on the specified module. Without the option restore shipping tree covering for the data port on the module specified in the default value.

    -[not] port-channel channel_number spanning tree priority priority intrusion detection

    Sets the priority of the port spanning tree for the data port on the specified module. Without the option restores the priority of port spanning tree for the data port on the module specified in the default value.

    To learn more about spanning-tree and how these parameters interact with spanning tree you can look through this section of the user guide for the switch or to search cisco.com for documentation of spanning tree:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/partner/docs/switches/LAN/catalyst6500/IOS/12.2Sx/configuration/guide/spantree.html

    NOTE: Your switch must be configured for rapid PVST for failover more rapid. Work with your administrator to switch to determine which spanning tree Protocol is used on your switch. The JOINT-2 does not work with STDS to ensure that STD is not used.

  • IPS 4260 sensor - NETWORK ports

    The IPS 4260 only comes with 1 port NIC, is what it means he cannot run in promisicious mode and must purchase additional NETWORK card interfaces to run inline?

    It comes with a single command and control NICS and NIC monitoring.

    Followed NIC can be used for monitoring promiscuity or InLine Vlan pair of surveillance.

    With InLine Vlan pair followed you plug changing the port on a switch and do a 2 trunk port VLAN.

    The configuration of the sensor inside match you 2 VLANS.

    Packets entering Vlan A will be analyzed and passed on Vlan B.

    Packets entering Vlan B will be analysed and transmitted on A Vlan.

    Then InLine Vlan pairs is like an InLine sensor interface is connected to A Vlan, and the other interface connected to Vlan B; but he is able to do using a single interface.

    For the monitoring of traditional InLine Interface pair, yes you will need to purchase an additional NIC

    The 4260 supports 3 additional types of network cards: 10/100/1000 TX 1000 SX and 10 Gbps SX.

  • How to install additional network drivers?

    Hello

    Newbie question...

    I recently installed VMServer 2.0 on an IBM server, which has a Broadcom BCM 5709C NetXtreme GigE network adapater (2 x).

    After I installed Windows 2003 SP2, the VM host environment, detects only AMD PCNET card.

    This adapter is able to connect to the host.

    Please let me know how do I install additional network drivers.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Welcome to the forums.

    VMware solutions never present physical network cards to the guests, but only the emulated cards. The operating system detects the virtual card, and most of the time, is able to install it with the driver of a standard distribution. Your Windows Server has detected and installed the device AMD, which should be OK. So do not try to install another, especially the Broadcom.

    You specify which network the guest will be connected by using the configuration of the VM from VMware. Then you decide if you attach the guest to the public network or to a private. If your virtual machine connects to the host, take a look at the network configuration of your VMware Server.

    It will be useful.

  • Initial (and probably more common) question of Dr on SRM and private networks

    Hello

    Can anyone share best practices on the ground with regard to my question archiecture of network:

    According to the guide of the SRM administrator: Mrs. in protected sites and recovery must have access to the same private network (logic).

    We will have protected sites and located on the same ground but both recovery are far from each other on separate parts of the campus and there is network connectivity between sites.

    What are the different ways we can get two separate sites to share a private network?  What is the best practice?

    (1) fiber optic cables directly between sites using Layer 2 switches?  Any potential problem with switching over a distance?

    (2) with Layer 2 VPN MPLS? Enough to handle the traffic scenarios and failover/failback mature?

    (3) should work around SRM to allow a routed 3-layer solution?

    I'm from VMware

    As I said more simple solution is scalable layer 2 making available of VLANS / subnets in two sites in order to avoid the re-ip address of the recovered virtual machine. MPLS and direct DC of interconnection on fiber/xWDM were popular alternatives for the extension of the L2. As with anything there are advantages/disadvantages for things like network and mobile IP service (for example, routing, load balancing, etc.) of persistence or rigidity. The Cisco & VMware following white paper might be of interest that it focuses on a new DCI solution that introduces new options for VM environments. The paper is mainly centered around the Cisco Nexus product range and the ability to now support active/active balancing on various, redundant DC links:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/solutions/collateral/ns340/ns517/ns224/ns836/white_paper_c11-557822.PDF

    You will notice the support of max distance of 200KM that is referenced in the document comes from the limits of support for the underlying storage replication (200KM for most synchronous suites), but there is also the effect of the reactivity of latency and VMotion application considerations. Site Selector Global (Cisco GSS) can be used for the traffic of a smart-balancing the load on the front-end server application as well as for unloading DNS service, DHCP and other common services - it would be more of a supplement to the core DC interconnect solutions mentioned above and not necessarily an exclusive alternative.

    Not sure what you mean by a workaround for Layer 3. SRM has the ability to re - ip of the VM during recovery, allowing you to change all THE info from the network stack inside the VM (network/gateway/dns servers ip/mask) and even generate scripts of ddns, but according to my post previous changing network info is in almost all cases, I worked with a customer "2nd choice".

  • Why double the network ports on a Mo?

    Hi all

    I see that many MB s, especially game and Server MB, now come with double rear network ports.

    How is what is used?

    The main use for NIC cluster is in a server/NAS environment. For the internet, it is of no use. Everyone today has a modem/router to connect with a cable or DSL provider and not supported is associated with the map NETWORK and bandwidth, you have with these providers is significantly less than a 1 only Go NIC can offer. It is only when you work in an environment of Server/NAS dual NIC is really advantageous. The speed to get the GB of data from or to the Server/NAS is actually doubled by partnering.

    Imagine that you need to send 100 GB of data on the server or NAS. In addition to the rounding errors, it would theoretically take about 14 minutes without balancing the load on the network, by partnering you would achieve 7 minutes in theory. In practice, these numbers will be higher. Teaming makes it possible to use assets in your projects that are stored on a NAS or a server, without dragging down the performance of the system. And of course, the NAS backup is twice as fast.
