1230 Series LAP and WCS 6.0.199.0 Heatmap Problem

I recently upgraded from WLC 4.2.207.0 to 6.0.199.0 (WiSM), and WCS 5.2.130.0 to 6.0.196.0. All my heatmaps that contain 1231G LAPs are solid "maroon" (-35 dBm) in color. If I remove the 1231 APs from the heatmap selection on the right hand side, my coexisting 1131 and 1142's display their heatmaps properly. My maps are all CAD format (dwg) converted to .png's using WCS. My goal is to migrate to 802.11n in small steps which our Cisco rep said we could do. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, this is a bug in 6.0.199.0. The "fix" is to upgrade to 7.0.98.0 or 6.0.199.4. As you figured out, it only affects 1230 series APs, and only on the 802.11b/g side. Bug ID was
CSCti05687
Incorrect power unit was used on AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 and IR-AP1220-IOS-UPGRD.

WCS 5.2.110.0 heatmap problem

Hi all!
I've a combination of standalone and lightweight installations on different sites. I'm using WCS for monitoring standalone AP's state. Before WCS version 5.2.110.0 (for example, in 5.0.72.0) it shows heatmaps for standalone AP's well, but now it fails with this error:
Error(s): You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding: Error:Object ''Device!172.24.64.200'' does not exist.
Anyone have any ideas why? Thanks.

Make sure that use SNMPv2 when you add the autonomous APs to WCS. Also from the Monitor->Maps, choose the 'Properties' drown down and click 'Go'. On this page, set the 'Refresh from Network' to disable. By default this is always disabled.
Maps retrieve status and statistics information for APs from the WCS database where it is updated every 5 to 15 minutes. For debugging purpose sometimes its important to get latest data directly from device instead of WCS database. 'Refresh from Network' option is available for that purpose but it should be used cautiously and not turned 'ON' always.

Getting disconnected randomly (5508 controller, 3300 series LAPs)

I am at one of our remote offices and I am noticing my laptop, despite excellent signal strength is periodically losing IP connectivity on the wireless network. When it drops, all of my IP connectivity stops (pings fail, RDP sessions "await reconnection", etc...). The lower right corner still shows I'm connected to the hidden WPA2 Enterprise SSID. The only way to reconnect is to select disconnect on it, then click connect again. Immediately everything IP based starts working.
There is a 5508 controller in the headquarters. The site I am at has a 30mbps fiber point to point WAN to the headquarters. This site has 2 x 3300 series LAPs which are very good coverage. H-REAP mode is on so traffic terminates at the local office because it is more efficient than traversing the LAN twice for things like local file and print sharing, dhcp, proper active directory sites and services mapping, etc...
The 5508 has a 2008 R2 server running NPS to do radius authentication and it verifies a domain certificate. To be on the wireless you have to be a member of the domain.
Seems to not give me any problems at the home office so any idea's?
On the 5508 I see this around the times I lose IP connectivity:
*Dot1x_NW_MsgTask_4: Jan 08 14:00:53.599: #DOT1X-3-INVALID_WPA_KEY_MSG_STATE: 1x_eapkey.c:861 Received invalid EAPOL-key M2 msg in START state - invalid secure bit; KeyLen 24, Key type 1, client 88:53:2e:xx:xx:xx

I have 0 (unlimited) as the max for user login policies so not sure why Authentication Aborted message appears.

On the NPS server (2008 R2) I just see my username granted access because it matches the network health policy.

Well I'm going to try to move the EAP-Broadcast Key Interval back. It was set to 3600 which in seconds equals 1 hour. Seems like not only my laptop but others now have been reporting that every hour on the dot, they stop passing IP traffic. The regular users just reboot, while people "in the know" disconnect and reconnect, and they are good for an hour.
Towards the bottom of this thread here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3753111?start=0&tstart=0
They suggested this.
I ran this
(Cisco Controller) >config advanced eap bcast-key-interval 86400
Now when I show advanced eap I get this:
EAP-Identity-Request Timeout (seconds)........... 30
EAP-Identity-Request Max Retries................. 2
EAP Key-Index for Dynamic WEP.................... 0
EAP Max-Login Ignore Identity Response........... enable
EAP-Request Timeout (seconds).................... 30
EAP-Request Max Retries.......................... 2
EAPOL-Key Timeout (milliseconds)................. 1000
EAPOL-Key Max Retries............................ 4
EAP-Broadcast Key Interval....................... 86400
I just will take note if this fixes the problem or not. If it does not maybe I will return it back to the default 3600.
Your idea of a hidden SSID in the clear to rule out auth issues is a good one, but security wise I don't want an open SSID - hidden or not for an hour in public places. Sure I could throw it on a VLAN with just one server and run a continuous ping... but I'm at the home office now which never has this issue.
Seems like when it's time for the key to be renewed, I'm thinking the renewal handshake at remote sites is just not making it back to the controller. However the initial key handshake when you first boot up or associate to the SSID goes over the WAN no issue. I only say this because at the home office where the WLC is physically located, there is no issue.
The WANs are a minimum of 10mbps over a Ethernet Virtual Private Line which is a busness level service provided by Verizon.

Encrypted L3 Communications Between LAP and WLC?

Hi All,
I am working with a client that wants to put LAPs remote to their WLC (a 4402). The rub is that the communications between the LAP and WLC must be secure even across their private WAN! I have a couple of resulting questions if anyone is able to help;
I can't find out if and what encryption method is (is it AES etc.?) used on the backhaul between LAPs and the WLC and what's involved?
Terminology may be wrong here, this is not a wireless mesh, just conventional LAP to WLC
The client's WAN is already encrypted (IPSec VPN over VPLS) in parts - what's the consequence of running AP<-->WLC with end-to-end encryption (if possible) over a WAN with IPSec, i.e. double encryption?
Strange but true - any pointers will be much appreciated.... Phil.C

With a 4400 series controller the control traffic between the AP and controller is already AES encrypted. The user traffic is not encrypted. If you use a 5508 controller all traffic between the AP and controller is AES encrypted.
As for running the traffic through a VPN, that should work. The issue I typically see with this is with the MTU. The controller will drop any packets with a data payload less than 32bytes. Depending on the MTU over the VPN I have seen packets get fragmented and this to be an issue. If you are using one of the CAPWAP versions (5.2 or newer) dynamic MTU discovery is part of the protocol and this MTU issue really doesn't exist.

I own 2 ipods an ipod nano series 4 and ipod series 6 I want to store different tunmes on each ipod, but when I try to sync the series 4 with I tunes I get a message that says there is not enough space on my device. How do I achieve what I want?

O wn 2 iPod nanos series 4 and series 6 I want to sync different music on each iPod but I get the message when trying to sync the series 4 that there is too much data for the sync to take place. It seems both iPods have the same name, so I guess I have to rename one, how do I do this?
Or is there another solution
Any help appreiated

It would be useful to you if they had a different name, but the computer knows they are different. Create separate sync playlists for each device and go to the Music tab when it is connected and specify which playlist should be used for the sync.

Please Help

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub. The file will not load. Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.

Adding a secure WLAN - WISM and WCS

I have a setup including a WISM and WCS which currently only runs a guest service using webauth to get online. The service (by request) is not secured over the air. I would like to implement a second SSID with security but before going the whole way with 802.1x I wanted to implement a half way house. Service will still only be a guest service but I want the air traffic secured.
So I guess my options are WEP (forget it) or WPA/WPA2.
My question is do I have to run this service with a shared secret that I then need to inform all users of in order for them to be able to connect to the service or is there a way to implement a WPA service that uses some kind of credential check against the already configured RADIUS (ACS) servers?
And if this is possible I assume there is no longer need for a webauth as this just seems to duplicate the login process.
Thanks for any pointers in advance
Paul

The best thing you can do is start with the Configuration Guides. If you don't have a test environment and have SMARTNET on the WiSMs/ WCS, utilize TAC to help you get up and going. I would also suggest utilizing a Cisco Partner to help with the initial implementation as well.
I would recommend upgrading your WiSMs and WCS to the latest versions and making sure configurations are the same across modules. I upgraded our WiSMs from 4.x to 7.0.98.0 and WCS to 7.x. Ran into a bug here and there but that is expected. Just make sure the wireless devices support those versions. If you are unsure, you can always work towards the AssureWave tested code. WCS 7.x should be backwards compatible (check the release notes just to verify). The Design Zone and Release Notes are your friend too.

Cisco CSM and WCS on same server

Hi,
Currently we are running Cisco CSM and Cisco WCS applications on different servers.
Please let me know can it possible to install Cisco CSM and Cisco WCS on one server.
Regards,

As per their datasheet, both CSM and WCS support VMware or can run as virtual servers. So it should be possible to implement both as virtual servers and run on the same physical server.

I have installled PE12,I have registrated it (serie number) and I have made an Adobe- ID. (I can find there my registrated product). Still, when I want to start the program, there is a screen that indicates that i have "to registrate PE within 7 days" , When iI continuer (next sceen) there is a message that the proces can not proceed for "I need an internet commection" which I have!!!! When this problem does not disappear I have to contact Adobe ??....... So please can you help me. I am already many hours trying to get started :-(

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

Marco,
Here are some suggestions:
1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.
    On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.
    Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
     You must get this working before continuing.
      You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.
     (On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).
    On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.
    Click on Serial and Parallel.
    Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.
    Open a VISA Test Panel.
    Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
   Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)
   Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)
   The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.
   Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.
   If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.
   (Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.)
I hope this helps,
steve

How do you add space between the Series Name and the chart?

I'm trying to format a 3D pie chart and the series name is nearly unreadable depending on the angle. I would like to add some space between the series name and the chart.

On my charts, I just select the legends and drag them away from the chart. Hopefully this example helps:

Hi,
If you have made any other modifications to your PC then remove those changes and revert to the original configuration.
If you still have issues then review this HP posted information.
Your PC is over two years old and typically HP ends support after 12 months when the warranty expires.
It's possible that the graphics card is faulty so RMA the card.

2 4404's and WCS how to add an addition 4404

We have two 4404's and WCS. The 4404's are almost maxed out. We have an addition 4404 which we would like to add to the group of 4404's. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

If both on-line 4404 share the same configs (particulary the SSID and other stuffs) then copy the config into the new one (make sure the new one is off-line so IP addresses won't clash).
Change the IP addresses of the new 4404.
Add into WCS.
