Cisco 526 Wireless express controller and Guest setup

We are going to implement a small (2-3 APs) wireless network and we wanted gust to have access too. My question is how do we implemetn the guest setup and separate that accessf rom our network. How does the 526 do it. Do we need a separate internet access for guest. Do we need separate vlan? Is it easy to setup using the 526?
Thank you,
Gilbert

Thanks for the reply. I did see this before I just cannot understand how creating the guest vlan will segragate the guest connection from our network. I just need more explanation on how the guest connection would not be able to access our data network.

  • Cisco 526 Wireless Express Mobility Controller

    We have just purchased at UC520, 526 Controller and a LAP521 controller. We got the UC520 up and running in 15 mins, but the 526 does not include very much documentation. We can not get it to find the 521 AP on the network nor will it go to layer 2 mode. I don't want to setup layer 3 routing for a 4 PC office. During the setup the only option it gives is layer 3 and the documentation says it will do layer 2? Can anyone give me any assistance?

    The controller reference between layer2 and layer3 is a little misleading. Having the WLC (WLAN Controller) in layer2 mode means that it uses layer 2 frame headers to place the LWAPP information in. With the WLC in layer3 mode, the WLC places the LWAPP header in the IP packet header instead of on the layer 2 frame header. The newer AP's support only understanding the layer3 mode of placing LWAPP info in the layer3 packet header. In either mode, you can still configure your network with only one VLAN/subnet, which sounds like your goal. To summarize, the WLC's mode of layer2 vs layer3 only references where the LWAPP header is placed in either the frame or the packet and in no way correspondes to how you design the vlan's/subnet's of your network.

  • 2 controllers - Cisco 526 wireless mobility Controller

    Hi,
    My setup consist of 2 controllers(Cisco 526) and 8APs.
    Cisco documentation has stated that it supports for 2 controllers per network. But has not shown how to configure it.
    Please advise on how i can configure the 2nd controller to aid 8APs.
    How would the APs be managed by 2 controllers? Do i see both controllers as 1 virtual controller on the GUI/CCA, or do i have to manage 2 separate Cisco 526 controller.
    Please advise

    You'll need to manage two separate controllers, unfortunately. You simply need to give them identical configurations (with different IP addresses), and they'll work together to service the access points. The APs will associate to whichever controller has more available slots, and the APs should find the other controller in case theirs goes down.
    I'm not too familiar with 526 configs, but you should be able to configure the APs to use a specific primary and secondary controller. Look under the AP configuration once the APs have associated to a controller.

  • How to replace the certificate of Cisco 2106 wireless LAN controller for CAPWAP ?

    I have interested in CAPWAP feature and I download the open capwap project to make Access Controller (AC) and Wireless Terminal Point (WTP). I had built the AC which used PC and WTP which used Atheros AP. The CAPWAP feature work well when I enabled the CAPWAP that used my own AC  and WTP. When I got the Cisco 2106 wireless LAN controller (Cisco WLC), I configured the Cisco WLC to instead my own AC but I got the authorize fail in Cisco WLC side. It seem the Cisco WLC could not recognize the CAPWAP message which sent form my own WTP. I think this issue just need to synchronize the certificate between Cisco WLC and WTP.So I need to replace the Cisco WLC's certificate manually. Does anyone know how to replace the certificate manually with Cisco WLC ?
    Best Regards,
    Alan

    Unfortunately this Support Community is for Cisco Small Business & Small Business Pro product offerings.  The WLC2106 is a traditional Cisco product.  You can find this type of support on the Cisco NetPro Forum for all traditional Cisco products.

  • Software Version Upgrade for Cisco 4402 Wireless Lan Controller

    Hi,
    We have Cisco 4402 Wireless Lan Controller with Software Version 3.2.171.6 and we want to upgrade it to latest version.
    So can anyone please let me know the latest version to upgrade the WLC?
    Also since WLC is running on very lower version is it possible to upgrade to the latest version directly or we have to move it step by step to upgrade this to latest version?
    Thanks

  • AIR-CAP3501I access point not joining the Cisco 2100 Wireless Lan controller.

    Hello All,
    I am installing a new LAP (AIR-CAP3501I ) through the wireless lan controller (AIR-WLC2112-K9) with software version 7.0. I have an external ADSL modem which will act as the DHCP server for the wireless clients and the LAP.
    Please find my network setup as below:
    The ISP ADSL modem , WLC and LAP are connected to a unmanaged POE switch. The LAP gets its power through the POE switch. When i connect the LAP and the WLC to the switch along with the ADSL modem, the LAPs are getting the ip address from the ADSL modem, however they are not joining the WLC for further process.
    ADSL Modem ip address: 192.168.1.254
    Management ip address on the LAP: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to port 1, untagged Vlan).
    Ap Manager ip address: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to the same port i.e port1, Untagged Vlan).
    The LAP is getting an IP address from the ADSL modem in the range of the DHCP scope.
    I will paste the logs very soon.
    Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong oe what will be the issue.
    Thanks in advance,

    The Acess point joins the Controller for 2-3 seconds and then unjoins again. I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. The access points are getting the IPs from the ADSL modem through the switch, then it talks to the WLC, however it does not join the controller for further process.
    Note:
    The Managemnet interface and the AP manager interface are assigned to the same port 1 with unassigned Vlan as mention above.

  • Wireless Virtual Controller and 2504 - supported APs

    Hi,
    I was working to propose a solution for a small customer where only 10 AP is required.  I have selected 1600 Series.
    I checked the supported controller but unfortunately, I could not find a confirmation if virtual or 2504 controllers will support these access points.
    It will be expensive to propose 5500 Controller.
    I would like to know if 1600 AP is supported in Virtual Controller or in 2504 Controller???

    Just to add to Leo's great response:)
    Keep this link handy as it will tell you the compatibility for many if not all of the Cisco Wireless

  • Virtual Wireless LAN Controller and 1602E: No SSID

    Hello, I am trying to troubleshoot a customer's issue remotely. 
    They have vWLC 7.4, and a 1602E AP, running the 7.4 LWAPP image, successfully joined.
    Whatever is tried, the SSID configuration is not pushed to the AP.  Other configuration changes get reflected to the AP such as enabling/disabling ssh.
    The goal is for multiple SSIDs connected to various VLANs to be setup, but I have simplified things for now.
    So there is an AP group containing this one AP, and a single WPA2-PSK WLAN.  The WLAN is bound to the management interface.
    The SSID configuration does not get pushed out to the AP.
    Any ideas what I should do to troubleshoot this?  I can't see any obvious issues in the error logs.
    Thanks...

    Keep in ming that the vWLC only supports FlexConnect mode AP's not local mode.  Is the mode of the AP in local or FlexConnect?
    Thanks,

    I don't know if it is possible, but I would think if you had any issues, TAC wouldn't support it. Try opening a case with TAC to see.

  • Can AIR-AP521G-x-K9 be controlled by the Cisco 526 Mobility controller ?

    I am going to buy a AIR-AP521G-x-K9 with IOS software which is a stand alone access point.
    However, later on I may buy a Cisco 526 Wireless Express Mobility controller in order to expand my wireless network.
    As I know at that moment I need to buy light weight AIR-LAP521G-x-K9 instead of AIR-AP521G-x-K9
    However I want to know if the stand alone AIR-AP521G-x-K9 can be control by the mobility controller without doing any change to the AIR-AP521G-x-K9 ?
    Thanks

    Hi Pak,
    The AIR-AP521G can be converted to Controller based mode via software upgrade so your investment is protected should you decide down the road to switch to Controller based. Have a look***;
    Q. Which access point products are included in the Cisco Mobility Express Solution?
    A. Two Cisco 500 Series Wireless Express Access Point products are in the Cisco Mobility Express Solution; their part numbers follow:
    AIR-AP521G-x-K9 (standalone access point)
    AIR-LAP521G-x-K9 (controller-based access point)
    The hardware for these products is the same. The products have different software,*** but the access points can be converted from standalone mode to the controller-based mode with a simple software upgrade.
    Up to three access points can be managed by Cisco Configuration Assistant. More than three access points in the network requires the controller as well.

  • Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

    Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

    Hi Joao,
    The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
    The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
    Overview of WCS
    The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
    WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
    The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
    WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

  • Enterprise Wireless Mesh License needed for controller and AP's?

    If I have a 2112 WLAN Controller and 7 1240AG AP's what licensing do I need to purchase to enable enterprise wireless mesh? Do I need to get the license for the controller (AIR-AP-LIC-M-12)? A license for each AP? Both? Thanks for any replies!

    Hi Andy,
    You only require the Mesh license for the Controller not for the individual AP's :)
    Solution
    The Cisco EWM license is required for wireless mesh deployments for the indoor access point platforms, including the Cisco Aironet 1130 and 1240 Series. For the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series, these licenses are not required. These EWM licenses are required for all the WLAN controllers when mesh indoor acess points are associated with the controller. Each WLAN controller has a corresponding EWM license. The license entitles the user to configure as many mesh indoor access points as the controller allows.
    The license SKUs are as follows:
    • AIR-AP-LIC-RTU=, Cisco Advanced Feature License
    • AIR-AP-LIC-M-6, Cisco Advanced Enterprise Wireless Mesh, 6-AP Controller
    • ***AIR-AP-LIC-M-12, Cisco Advanced Enterprise Wireless Mesh, 12-AP Controller
    • AIR-AP-LIC-M-25, Cisco Advanced Enterprise Wireless Mesh, 25-AP Controller
    • AIR-AP-LIC-M-50, Cisco Advanced Enterprise Wireless Mesh, 50-AP Controller
    • AIR-AP-LIC-M-100, Cisco Advanced Enterprise Wireless Mesh, 100-AP Controller
