• WLC management port is another trunk that vlan native

  Hello

  I installed my first WLC 5508 with this topology:

  WLC connected trought distribution SFP 1 GB port to the port of switch configured as a Trunk port cut 3 Wireless VLAN:

  -Management WLC, wireless and wireless voice data Vlan (Vlan native is WLAN Management).

  -J' created 2 dynamic interface on WLC on my VLAN Wireless:

  10.7.1.0/24: default management Virtual Interface installing WLC +.

  10.7.6.0/24: Virtual Interface of voice and

  10.7.2.0/24: Wireless Data Interface virtual trought GUI.

  DHCP configured on each dynamic interface is the interface vlan L3 subent for SWITCH main technical IP DHCP Pool equal VLAN.

  WLC management interface IP address is: 10.7.1.10/24

  I create 2 WLAN SSID name with given ID 1, and ID2 voice.

  I create and AP group named APGRP1 that contains the AP recorded about WLC and using the two WLAN SSID.

  The two AP are connected to the switch acess port configured as native management WLC VLAN access port.

  I have to create 3 IP DHCP pool on main switch with the related L3 Interfaces for Inter VLAN routing.

  Problem: when I try to connect from mobile data SSID I get IP address of management WLC VLAN a VLAN data no.

  the same case of Wireless IP Phone configured with voice SSID.

  What I can likely that allows two devices to get the address IP of the correct VLAN?

  Hi Adil,

  T1 > coelio AP on the switch must be configured on a mode of access to the port or trunk mode?

  YEARS - the LWAPP / CAPWAP APs connected to the switchport should be an access port not trunk.

  Q2 > if the first case, the configuration of the port, on the same VLAN as WLC management VLAN support Vlans other WLANS (voice and data)?

  YEARS - Yes it supports, since traffic that involes the WLAN will be inside the tunnel of logic LWAPP/CAPWAP.

  Q3 > I will check the interface between WLAN and dynamic Interfaces map and I'll tell you.

  YEARS - I will wait for your answer!

  Let me know if that answers your question...

• WLCs manage LWAPPs to use chs overlapping?

  I'm a beginner with the wireless and more, the WLC. (I use a WLC module in a search report international No. 2851). I have a few general questions about the WLCM:

  (1) I will deploy five laps out of the WLCM in a floor of a building. It's true that I don't have to worry of duplication of canals as the WLCM detects contention and change the channel? Don't I have to configure anything in particular about channels, on the side of RF?

  (2) I have will be also using 7920 s in my deployment and want to ensure call quality when a user walks/wanders between the towers. I'll use static and 7920 WEPs s are on the same VLAN. Since all APs are associated with the same WLCM, is it true that I will not make additional configuration in order to ensure smooth roaming?

  Thank you!

  Greetings,

  It is what it is supposed to do. It has been my experience and other institutions, this is not necessarily the case.

  Regarding the allocation of channels, this device did a mediocre job, even though I have many more AP 5, so your mileage may vary. Be on the lookout for the same location co channel features where is not necessary to be.

  Power settings also not are managed properly. Almost each AP in my installations are power 2 (17dBm or 50mW) level and it is only because I do not allow the maximum power in option. There is a wonderful document you must download if you want to be anywhere near LWAPP - http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/114/rrm.pdf

  read especially the emission power algorithm and the algorithm of hole in coverage. I took the third AP of any AP has a threshold by default - 65, which means that if this criterion is satisfied that the power will not come down. My investigations are at 11 Mbit/s to-65dBm, that would mean my third AP since my first AP location will be at the edge of the first cell in the AP. If you draw three circles on paper, your first circle is where you want, the radius of the third circle must pass through the edge of the first circle... so now that you have to enter the second circle somewhere in there. This scenario is called duplication of 50% - where two AP (two 50% (a 100%) overlap to another AP. If in the case of a failure of AP - two others can pick up the slack. Well, if I draw my networks as such, what the hell do need me LWAPP for? I opened a TAC case and vain quickly actually, I got nowhere at all.

  My solution for me is to redesign the existing infrastructure in order to have 20-30% overlap and have 11 Mbps cell boundries to-65dBm. The only way I'll be able to maintain the allocations of power and the channel will remove auto channel RF and power capabilities. I'll harcode that in. Perhaps, once the design, I get up and functional, I'll experiment with sections of the installation and let auto RF have a chance in a properly designed environment and see what happens. Unfortunately, I'm in a production of high-profile health care environment, and I'm not comfortable, especially given the results that I've seen so far.

  I hope that you have determined that the 5 you need the AP was based on a valid poll, preferably using the 7920 as the survey tool.

  If you have determined your coverage, throughput requirements, and plans for future growth, and read about what rate you can get each access point in the scenarios of data and voice and has determined that some areas may or may not be more densely populated with users using voice or data or both - then you should be ok.

  Please think of voice being on the same vlan as data, which should be separate even more data wired people.

  If you have many users then go ahead. If you think that the user density could bite you in the pants, he will and he won't let go.

  If I have not scared the crap out of you yet, I hope to have given you some things to think about and tools to use so that you are not in the situation that I am currently.

  However, being the payer cleaner remarkably well. I'm kind of the wireless "Mr. Wolf" in the film of our network.

• Privilege in WLC management needs first 2.2

  The word Hello,

  After you install a Cisco first 2.2 and added several WLC, my client wants to just a reading only the first management. Then, when I added WLC I provided SNMP v3 RO and no username/password / activate telnet/SSH.

  The problem is that my customer wants to manage guest users of premium, I have of course some write type of privilege is necessary. Changing SNMP of ro to RW would be enough? Or maybe I need to add a user/password / activate SSH/telnet to manage? Or maybe I'll be times RW SNMP and telnet/SSH?

  Thank you very much!

  David

  Hi David,

  most likely, you would need RW and ssh\telnet as well, but it depends on what type of operations, your guest user will have access to.

  Thank you-

• Interface WLC 5508 AP-Manager

  Hi, I own a WLC 5508 and (probably), I do not understand the AP Manager interfaces. I have a laboratory with 2 x 1242AG and 1 x 1252AG connected to c2960. APs in vlan 10 (192.168.10.0/24, configured via DHCP), APs are connected to interface 'switchport access mode. C2960 is connected via a trunk to c4506 and WLC is plugged into article gi1/3 and article gi1/4 (both through twingig). The two ports are configured as 'switchport mode trunk ". WLC management interface is IDE oucederomsurlesecondport WLC 8 (linked to article gi1/4), and AP-Manager is on port 1 (connected to article gi1/3) WLC. WLC management interface has 'Management dynamic AP' set to off, and AP-Manager defined activated. The two are interfaces to management and AP-Manager tag, vlan id 12 and 13 (subnets 192.168.12.0/24, 192.168.13.0/24) respectively. APs receive their IP through DHCP configuration (server located in vlan 20, 192.168.20.0, in use ip helper-address) and try to discover DNS resolution WLC (CISCO-CAPWAP - CONTROLLER.some.domain resolves to AP-Manager IP correctly). But AP has the status "not connected" in monitor/statistics/AP join APs do not join to the controller, said WLC "Discovery request Ignoring received on the management interface".

  But if I put management interface as "Dynamic AP activated" and change the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP... it's IP everything works well - AP is associated with the time. Please help, how to reach the KNEES a AP-Manager interface? Sign up for the Manager of WLC is simple, but my design requires at least 2 interfaces AP Manager.

  If you have a 5508, why you have the AP Manager?

• WLC and AP on different subnets

  I want to add a new access point to my existing controller. Currently I have about 15 AP is connected to one vlan separate mgt for the AP, vlan 10. It's shared resources for the controller and the other VLAN user as Private, Public, etc. WVoIP. I already started to implement EIGRP network instead of having a large layer 2 vlan would be network. In one of the more recent places I'm routing, I have a new AP to connect. I'm trying to make sure that this design will work before I implement. So I have a 3560 connected to my core 4506 with a 3 layer connection. EIGRP works as well. I intend to have the 3560 intervlan routing with vlan voice, data and wireless. The problem I see is how can I get the AP to speak with the controller as they are on different subnets, more a metro E 'WAN '? Any suggestion would be great.

  As long that the ROUND was started locally first, this TOUR will be the ip address of the WLC. If you want to fix the ROUND on a different subnet from L3, then configure ip helper-address the ip address of each wlc management. then configure the ip forward-Protocol udp world 12222 & ip forward-Protocol udp 12223 on the router of L3. This with the help of intellectual property, will allow the s TURN to join the WLC on the other end.

• Connection to a wlc on subnets

  I recently bought a 4402 wireless controller to manage our access points. When I put the APs on the same subnet as the subnet ap-Manager, I get the access point you want to connect. When I put on the subnet wireless access point, it does not connect. Does not record again.

  I read that I have to layer 3 routing on the 4502 to work. I'm doing now. Do I need to configure anything on my switches to ensure that packets are by (a bit like defining where the DHCP server) or should it just work? Do I need to set up a WLAN ID that corresponds to the ID of the WLAN using the switches? I thought I tried that first and not had much luck. Any ideas on this vague question?

  I'm trying to dig into the documentation to see if I can find the answer, but so far I have found nothing.

  You will want to ensure that your APs can route where that you install to the WLC management address.

  How APs find the controller may occur a few different ways:

  (1) A DNS record

  (2) layer 2 broadcast (that you've already seen)

  (3) IP Route forward

  (4) DHCP Option 43

  (5) manual to initiate the PA

  Most people lead with option 43.

  If you see the configuration guide will explain the other process.

  Hello

  Removes the brand management and interface of the AP on the WLC Manager and put the management and the Manager of the Ap in the vlan Switchports native...

  example of...

  the command is...

  WLC > config interface management vlan 0

  WLC > config interface vlan ap-Manager 0

  On the switch...

  switchport mode trunk

  switchport trunk dot1q encap

  switchport trunk vlan native 17

  end

  I assumed the management and Manager of the AP are in vlan 17. make the corresponding changes if not 17.

  Let me know if we can t oping after making the above changes...

• When to use WLC? And why?

  I've never used autonomous Access Points (AIR-AP1242G-E-K9 | 802.11 g integrated auto AP;) RP - TNC; ETSI Cnf) and now I have to make a

  new installation for a client and this model is end of life.

  I found in the web the substitute is AIR-SAP1602E-E-K9, but there is a template controlled AIR-CAP1602E-E-K9.  I've never used a WLC

  and I don't know what are the benefits of its use. I think that this customer is good to use a controller as a user but I have

  to advise the best choice for him.

  Could someone send me a link where I can learn the difference between working with WLC or without?

  And... Whats is the controller for AIR-CAP1602E-E-K9?

  Thank you

  By using a WLC you more benefits. The code and the configuration is compatible as the WLC manages all this. Adjustments of roaming, channel and power without flaw, comments WebAuth Hello bridge, CleanAir, detection of rogue, etc that are unavailable on an autonomous access point.

• WLC5508 problem with dhcp and flexconnect local switching

  Hello
  I have a new WLC 5508 with firmware 8.0.133.0 (suggested one right now) and I'm trying to set up a WLAN with flexconnect and local switching, but when I try to connect a client it is not getting an IP address.

  Here's what I did:
  -put the AP mode flexconnect
  -support vlan in the AP has allowed
  -local switching license and only in wlan
  -spread the vlan from AP to the local gateway
  -put the IP helper on local and pointed the wlc management ip gateway
  -set up a scope for the vlan Server dhcp internal WLC
  -set up a working group with the vlan-wlan association flexconnect

  Here is what I checked:
  -l'AP obtains an IP address in dhcp in the vlan, and a lease for that appear in the DHCP Server internal to the WLC
  -If I put the interface vlan on a switch in DHCP it gets the ip address of the same way
  -If I set the static IP address in the wireless client it ping the local gateway and navigate normally
  -J' tried the deactivation/activation proxy DHCP in the management connected to the WLAN interface, but nothing happened
  -J' tried Central DHCP activation of treatment with no luck

  It seems a dhcpdump on the wireless client client ask for an IP address, but get no response, as if it were the DHCP request is be filtered or diverted somehow.

  All you other ideas?

  DHCP on the controller is not a real dhcp server, see it that way. The management interface is used when defining aid ip and proxy dhcp must be enabled for internal dhcp. In your configuration, dhcp only works for the AP and should not work for any cable customer. You should be able to use the IP helper pointing to your WLC management interface but also make sure that you create an interface on the WLC for the local subnet and assign the interface to a correct address, even if it is not actually using it. Then in the new dynamic interface of this local subnet, you create, make sure that the primary dhcp is the ip address of the controller management. I think it works.

  I would really use a true if possible dhcp server or even put a dhcp scope on the interface of L3 on the production site.

• UNMANAGE an access point light on the MAIN Infrastructure

  Hi guys,.

  is there a way to unmanage a lightweight AP (LAP) on the Cisco Infrastructure FIRST, but keep it on the WLC management?, we want some of the life cycle free licenses.

  Currently, we have a problem of license because when we add a WLC FIRST automatically adds all of its associated towers (115 aprox.) and they consume almost all lifecycle licenses available (125), causing that we cannot add another 10 aircraft for their FIRST management.

  Is it possible some of these tricks FIRST unmanage but to keep their management of their corresponding WLC (in order to free some licenses of life cycle)?

  Thank you in advance!

  Kind regards

  Sorry, but only you can do.

  Once you succeed a WLC, all its associated with APs are also managed and therefore consume licenses of life cycle.

• VLAN and vWLC

  Hi all

  My vWLC is in VLAN 100 and all the APs are in VLAN 101. I need to know, if they join the processes of all the APs at vWLC will be accur normally or should I set up other things related to the tagging VLAN?

  Best regards

  No, I don't have anything accurding to the DHCP Service.

  If the APs and WLC management interface are in the same subnet, then the APs will be able to reach the controller.

  If the access points are in a different subnet, then a sort of mechanism is necessary for the APs to find their controllers.  Manually, each APs can be configured to access a specific WLC.  The most effective method is to use DHCP Option 43.

• LWAPP AP1131 not connect to the server syslog configuration

  Hello

  I have configured my LWAPP Ap1131 to use a syslog server. I did it with an option dhcp and configuration on the controller. According to the boot message the ap Gets the two servers. But unfortunately, none of the servers are used. The AP then send messages to 255.255.255.255. I have grabed the attached file directly from the AP (see logging). The syslog server is accessible by the ap...

  Interesting is the 7th line from the bottom, where did the ap get the broadcast address for syslog?

  any ideas, what about Martin

  I tried on one of my ap lab to see if the wlc would see the trap. If you look at the wlc management | SNMP | trap control, there is two specified traps under Cisco AP traps. You can always contact your local Cisco Wireless SE and put them in your recommendation of future improvement.
