1262 WGB Client Limitation

Hi all,
I have a 1262 that will be setup as a WGB and wirelessly connect to a Cisco MESH AP. A switch and clients will hang off of the 1262 WGB. How many clients can a 1262 WGB support?
Thanks

The limit is for clients that appear on the root AP table as WGB clients. Those should get ip addresses from same WLAN pool (dhcp or static). The clients behind a router are not counted with the limitation because they don't appear as WGB clients in the root AP table. But note that the WGB connection will be a bottle nick for those clients.

WGB-clients problem AP1200

Hey,
Yesterday i've encounterd a problem with a wireless network on the site. It's a network with 1 AP1200 (8JA2 firmware) and 2 1200 (8JA2 firmware) configured as WGB. For security settings we've used WPA PSK, AES CCMP and ACL.
The network was running fine for 2 weeks, and yesterday the WGB's couldn't associate with the AP. When I tried to associate with my laptop (pcmcia cisco350) I could associate but I couldn't authenticate. I've replaced the AP with another 1200 with the same Firmware and settings.
Everything could now associate but the WGB-clients were not known by the AP, so there was no communication between the WGB-clients and the servers. ARP caching was enabled.
After I turned all the encryption and security off, and rebooted the wgb's and the AP, the WGB-clients appeared in the association table of my ap and the communication was back.
Has anyone encountered this sort of problems?? With this version firmware, 8JA2??
Greetings
Steven Gijsbers

Questions about documented client limitations

I set up a 1.4.2 Beehive server so my boss could test it out, and then sent him the end user PDF. Since we're currently using Oracle Calendar standalone, we're primarily interested in testing the time management component of Beehive, and generally via CalDAV clients.
The End User guide mentions some pretty serious limitations, though. In particular
- only supporting up to 250 meetings per calendar. That's like one week for my boss. ;-)
- only being able to look one month back for meetings.
These two limitations alone severely hobble the product. Why the limitations, and are there plans to remove them?
Also, how do you do free/busy searches via a CalDAV client, like Sunbird?
How do you search for other users, to be able to schedule a meeting with them?
We're really interested in Beehive since it's claimed goal is to allow the use of open standards-based clients, but some of the limitations in the current offering are pretty severe. We're looking for some kind of confirmation that these issues are on the roadmap to be addressed.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Some comments inline
>
- only supporting up to 250 meetings per calendar. That's like one week for my boss. ;-)The doc isn't too descriptive, is it :)
The limitation is not a server limitation per se, but rather a self-imposed limit and it's on a per-client type basis.
Fundamentally, in testing it was found that while some caldav clients handle large numbers of meetings nicely other caldav clients don't do so well. Beehive therefore puts a (configurable) limit on the number of meetings returned to each caldav client type. Note that 'meeting' in this case includes all occurences of a meeting, so if for example you have 20 meetings that repeat every week for a year that's counted as "20" not "20x52" meetings.
I believe the restriction is higher for iCal on the Mac than e.g. sunbird and lightning. Also, as the clients improve their scalability and handling of large number of meetings then the default limits will be increased accordingly.
If you (or your boss) is missing meetings in e.g. sunbird, then please do contact oracle support and they'll explain how to increase that limit for your boss's client (for diagnosability purposes, they'll be missing "this week" rather than way out in the future). I don't know the latest testing results for e.g. lightning 0.9, but I suspect that 1000 is probably still too high.
Even with a pretty busy schedule, 250 meetings is quite a lot. The only time i've seen people hit it is when they have many years worth of non-repeating day events (so for example, ten years worth of holidays for multiple countries where christmas day is not "repeats yearly" but instead is 10 individual meetings/day events.
>
- only being able to look one month back for meetings.I don't believe that's true anymore. In previous releases the solution to the above issue was to limit the number of meetings returned by 'time period' rather than count. In the more recent releases it's limited by count instead. I'm looking right now at my calendar in lightning 0.9 for september last year and it looks pretty full (although june isn't very full...)
>
These two limitations alone severely hobble the product. Why the limitations, and are there plans to remove them?
Also, how do you do free/busy searches via a CalDAV client, like Sunbird?Click on the 'invite attendees' button in the 'new meeting' dialog. enter invitees' email addresses and the free/busy should complete automatically. There's also a 'search time slot' button that'll find mutually convenient times.
How do you search for other users, to be able to schedule a meeting with them?That's more tricky... if you use lightning then it'll pull the email addresses for auto-complete from your thunderbird addressbook. If you use iCal I believe it pulls from the mac address book. In Sunbird you have to know people's email addresses.
hope that helps.

Richard

GWIA IMAP Client Limits?

What is the max IMAP clients an admin should allow to hit a single GWIA
gataway using default threads?
I'm having serious abend issues and have narrowed it down to IMAP clients
hitting my GWIA, I getting colored debugging screen on my Netware 6.5 server
that I have never ever seen in 25+ years in working with Netware.
I "guess" I'm going call Novell since the only way to keep my GWIA up is to
disable IMAP but I'm not sure what's worse, talking to front line Novell
support or listening to my user tomorrow morning complain that that their
fancy dancy iPhones can't get email.

Oh I was just grasping a straws, I have a ton of word of mouth iPhone users
that they passed the email IMAP & SMTP addresses around and without having
predefined limits on GWIA of who could or couldn't access it, suddenly I
have several hundred IMAP users along with over hundred moblity users.
I running test code from Novell to address the SOAP thread issues which
seems to work, problem was in that first release of this test code, there
appear to a GWIA IMAP bug, newest test code seems to fix the GWIA now, I'm
running 3 days now without an crash and SOAP is behaving ok.

WGB clients

Recently setup a wireless network with 2 AP 1242 aironets.One as a root ap and the other as a wgb. The root ap is connected to a 871 router ... which is a dhcp server. Providing ip addresses to the root ap and the wgb in client mode.Given this setup if I attach a device to the wgb it should also receive an ip address from the 871 dhcp server. However this has not been the case. Should the wired device (router, pc or switch)have authentication as my wireless devices do ? Could this just be a situation whereby certain devices are not compatiable?

Here is the guide for the WGB. It may help you :

Slow roaming for WGB-client (mobile) on AP/WLC!

A customer of mine have previously had 2 AP1242 set up as root-AP and then an additional AP1252 set up as WGB onboard a (very slow) moving vehicle. This has worked very good.
On the vehicle there is 1 "real" PC and 3-4 additional PLCs or such "dumb" equipments with an static IP-address each. All equipment on the vehicle is connected to an unmanaged Layer2-switch.
Now they have extended the WLAN-installation, and replacing the 2 old and added 5 new APs (all lightweight) and a WLC. The vehicle-WGB is also replaced. All new APs and the new WGB is AP2602 and the WLC is a 2504.
After installing the new CAP2602, the WLC2504 ande the new WGB AP2602 on the vehicle they report that the roaming is too slow for the application that controls the vehicle..... TYhis results in a "Full Stop". Which is rather undesirable!!
I have looked at the configuration of the WGB-AP which is (in principle) unchanged from the AP1252 and also the WLC, But do not see any peculiarities. We also tried to set the channel on all tyhe APs to the same (Meru-style...) but that did not help. The environment of the APs and the vehicle is absolutely guaranteed free from any other interfering WLANs/networks.
Any iseas? I attach the config of the WLC and the WGB.

Hi
I can see your WLAN configured for both WPA/TKIP & WPA2/AES as authentication suites. I would stick only one (WPA2/AES).
Also to test, I would first check it in open authentication & see if that make any difference.
I think in your WGB configuration you have most recommended settings. Here are some useful notes on WGB configuration

Total throughput and client limitations per guest anchor controller; 7,000 guest clients

When I read the specs of a Cisco 5508WLC I read the following :
Cisco 5508 Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) – 8 Gbps and 7,000 guest clients
What happens when client 7001 tries to connect ? Is this a hardcoded like the max 500AP's limit ? Or is this just a guideline ?

7000 is the number of entries it can handle in its client database. So you cannot have more than 7000 clients in single 5508.

Repeater Access Point 1240 works like WGB client

Hello, i have a problem. In my Network i have 5 Access Point. 4 Aironet 350 and 1 Aironet 1242. IOS for aironet 350 is12.2(13)JA1, E .
Ios for Aironet 1242 is 12.4(10b)JDA3.
Then .. I have an Access Point 350 configured as Access Point/root while all the other Access Point are configured as Repeater/non root.
My problem is that the Cisco Aironet 1242 is the last Access point in the chain, but not work fine.
all the Wifi client connected to Aironet 1242 not access to wired LAN.
I not ping all the Wifi client connected to Aironet 1242.
p.s.
My Aironet 1242 is seen in the association table of the its parent Access point like WGB_CLIENT.
any suggestion

ISE guest self-registration Client Limitation per day

I deployed ISE with guest self registration on the Web Portal.
I want the guest (ex: AndroidPhone with Mac address: xx:xx) to be able to get 1 hour of internet access per day.
I know that using Time profile I can limit the guest to 1 hour of access, but how can I give the guest access each day.
Requirements:
--- I want to make this phone create only one account. ( How can I limit his mac address from creating new accounts when his account will expire in one hour)?
--- After 1 day, I want to give the same phone access (I dont mind if it is a new account or the same account as the day before)
How can we make this happen? Otherwise, everytime the account expires, the phone will be able to auto-register with a new account.
Thank you

Attach WAP4410N as WGB to Cisco 5760 WLC with LWAP 3702

I have 5760 WLC with 3702 wireless infrastructure. Can i connect a WAP4410N AP as WGB to be attached to my current wifi network so i can provide connectivity to some wired devices? Any tips on doing so? And any limitation can be imposed for using this WAP instead of any other AP that are supported by WLC5760? If the wired clients are passive, configuring passive-client on WLC will work normally?

Thanks Eric for the reply, however, this AP is not expected to be controlled by WLC as you mentioned since it is not lightweight and not supported by this WLC for compatibility. But in this scenario, i'm talking about operating it in WGB mode to be attached to the unified wireless infrastructure. In this scenario, it is just attached as a client that pass the traffic of its clients to the other side.
I have noticed the below statement in this guide page (539)
http://hcsdemo.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3650/software/release/37e/consolidated_guide/b_37e_consolidated_3650_cg.pdf
When non-Cisco WGBs are used, the switch has no information about the IP address of the clients on the wired segment behind the WGB. Without this information, the switch drops the following types of messages:
• ARP REQ from the distribution system for the WGB client.
• ARP RPLY from the WGB client.
• DHCP REQ from the WGB client.
• DHCP RPLY for the WGB client.
Accordingly, if the switch will drop all this traffic, then no traffic will be passed from the WGB clients to the network ! what I’m missing here?!!!

Number of clients airport

Thinking of getting an airport express and or time capsule. I have a wired network with around 50 devices most wired (sonos/dtv/printers/computers/iPads/adt alarm/etc).
I was wondering if there would be a way to get past the 50 client limitations? can you piggy back two extremes each with its own dhcp server? Help would be appreciated before I buy.
Thanks and kind regards!

50 is the limit for wireless devices on the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme. You could add another 150 wired devices on top of that.
The AirPort Express can handle up to 10 wireless devices.

Dual Radio WGB and LWAPP Controller

Hallo everyone,
I have a wireless network managed by a 4402 controller with this sw version : 5.2.178.0
The client wants to add a stand alone wgb (cisco 1242 with an ios 12.4(21) ). The standalone ap associate to an LWAPP AP using the 5Ghz interface and propagate the same ssid at 2.4Ghz (I've also tried using a different ssid ). Actually the WGB is the only AP using that SSID at 2.4Ghz. As for the wired clients of the WGB I have no problems but if the client associate to the 2.4 Ghz SSID, I see it associated on the controller but no traffic from or to the client is allowed.
If for any case, the 5Ghz interface is resetted and the association betweeen the WGB and the controller is reformed, the 2.4Ghz client starts receiving and receiving traffic.
Any idea how to set things up from the the first association?
The wgb ssid is not set as infrastructure-client and the controller correclty identify it as a WGB client. In the same way the controller correclty see the 2.Ghz client like a wired client of the WGB but unless the association b.t.w the WGB and the controller is reset, no traffic reach the client.
I think that may be a problem related to how the IAPP protocol notify the presence of a client to WGB but I don't know how to work things out.. any idea?
Thank you in advance!

The 3600 series Access Points can have either internal or external antennae. You can tell by looking at the top of the AP. If there are 4 antenna connections (one in each corner) then they are external antennae.
If you cannot get to the AP to check them physically, the antenna type is also denoted by the part number.
AIR-CAP3602I-x-K9 has internal antennae
AIR-CAP3602E-x-K9 has external antennae
The 3600 does have dual radios built in, operating in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency ranges. However, for them to show up as such, you have to enable both radios on the AP. You can do this either through the WebUI or the CLI.
The 802.11ac option is an external module that is attached to the underside of the 3600 AP. Please find the datasheet for the module here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps12859/ps13128/data_sheet_c78-727794.html
The 1552c Series access points are also dual-radio systems and should also have both radios turned on through the WebUI or CLI. Note the quote " The Cisco Aironet 1552C/1552CU Outdoor Mesh Access Points are dual-radio systems with DOCSIS 3.0/EuroDOCSIS 3.0 (8x4 HFC) compliant cable modem for power and backhaul." taken from the datasheet for these APs found here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5679/ps11451/data_sheet_c78-641373.html
Cisco ships the APs with one Radio enabled and if you want the dual-radio functionality, you have to turn that on. Once that is done, you should see the APs show up correctly in the WLC 5508.

WGB association/re-association timing

Hi Guys,
Just want to ask a question: what is the acceptable association or reassociation time for the WGB?
Our environment is on a shipyard, and AP's are mounted on a light mast around 30 meters high, and our WGB clients are mounted on the cranes, these cranes are moving around the area. The cranes are around 15 meters high. We are implementing Cisco LEAP. I have noticed that the association or re-association timing of some of our WGB clients are taking around 50 seconds and some are more than 60 seconds before it was able to re-associate to another AP.
So in this case, is this a normal condition?

Hi Kaye,
This issue is only happening to some but not all WGB Clients. We did some site survey just using the netstumbler on the crane level and was able to see some rogue AP's, however their signal strength is not that strong at around -90 to -100 dbm. Could this rogue AP's caused this issue to happen? What are other external factors that may contribute to this interference?
Thanks!

Your SAP BW system can only operate in client 001

Hello,
After installation of SCM 5.0, we did client copy from 001 -
>800.
But when we execute RSA1 we got the error message:
"Your SAP BW system can only operate in client 001"
Is this because of client limitations?
If yes, how it can be solved.
Incoming days we are going to upgrade to SCM 5.0 from SCM 4.1.
Will it cause a problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tushar

Dear Naveen,
It worked.Thanks a lot. But still have a logical system issue.
RSA1>message appears->
"Logical system name has been changed for the
system"
When I gave logical system of client 001 to 800 then it worked.(with RSADMINA has entry now 800 which was changed from 001).
It still not working logical system of client 800.
I afraid, we will face issue after upgrade to SCM 5.0.
I hope client will not modify after upgrade to SCM 5.0 in RSADMINA.
