2 x Cisco 4400 series WLC to provide redundancy

Hi all,
can any one point me in the direction of some resources so that I can get a better understanding of configuring 2 4400's in a redundancy group?
I've got experience with the HP wireless module kits in a redundancy group, any one know whether the cisco stuff works in the same sort of way??

Here are a few docs that should help.

Cisco 4400 - 100 WLC ap manager IP address

I am going to implement a Cisco 4400-100 WLC. I need it to manage 100 Cisco LWAPP AP's
Can this be done with one AP Manager IP address?
Is it recommended to have the AP manager and manager address on the same subnet?
How many of the 4 fibre connectors need to be used to manage 100 AP's?
Mark Cronin

ok, you have 2 options one is work with AP MANAGER interfaces and the other is to work with LAG, whe LAG is enable you just need one AP MANAGER interface becouse the LAG makes the redundancy and load balancing function.

Need MIBs for Cisco 2500 Series WLC

Hi,
I need the MIBs for Cisco 2500 WLC.
I have it for 5508 WLC. Does it works same for 2500 WLC too ?
Regards

they should be very similar. There would be more trees available for the 5508 over the 2504.
You can get the MIBS for the 2504 from the Software downloads section of CCO.

Cisco 4400 summary page doesn't display proper # of active AP's

4400 series WLC with 100 supported AP's.
present capacity is 62 active AP's but summary only shows 48 active...Why???????

I'm sure this has been figured out by now, but just in case it hasn't, or the solution was unclear, you probably only have one of the controller's gigabit interfaces plugged in, or you don't have enough ap-managers configured. For more than 48 APs, you need more than one link connected. If you are using LAG, you should be all set with one ap-manager. If you are not using LAG, you need to connect at least two ports for 62 APs, and you will need a second ap-manager IP address configured.

Wanted to Know more about cisco 4400 WLC

is cisco 4400 WLC support third party access points or not
i have coral-maksat.

Hi Tahseen,
Not at this point in time. But this type of 3rd party support will be added in the future;
In controller software release 5.2 or later, Cisco lightweight access points use the IETF standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points protocol (CAPWAP) in order to communicate between the controller and other lightweight access points on the network. Controller software releases prior to 5.2 use the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) for these communications.
CAPWAP, which is based on LWAPP, is a standard, interoperable protocol that enables a controller to manage a collection of wireless access points. CAPWAP is being implemented in controller software release 5.2 for these reasons:
To provide an upgrade path from Cisco products that use LWAPP to next-generation Cisco products that use CAPWAP
To manage RFID readers and similar devices
***To enable controllers to interoperate with third-party access points in the future
LWAPP-enabled access points can discover and join a CAPWAP controller, and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. For example, the controller discovery process and the firmware downloading process when you use CAPWAP are the same as when you use LWAPP. The one exception is for Layer 2 deployments, which are not supported by CAPWAP.

IDS feature on WLC 4400 series

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to ask about the IDS feature on WLC 4400 series.
What will the WLC do if it detects an attack specified in the Standard IDS signature ? Will the WLC shutdown the client or just report it ?
Thank you

The intrusion-detection-system (IDS) signature engine on controllers and on the Cisco WCS automatically eliminates duplicate alerts for rogue access points, rogue clients, and IDS signatures that previously occurred when two or more access points detected the same attacker. Now instead of one IDS alert from each detecting access point, a single alert is generated for the attack.
Intrusion detection, location, and containment preserve the integrity of wireless networks and sensitive corporate information. When an associated client sends malicious traffic, a Cisco wired IDS device detects the attack and sends shun requests to Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, which then disassociate the client device.

What are the following:1)Cisco 1600 Series IOS WIRELESS LAN RECOVERY. 2)Service Provider Option 60 for Vendor Class Idenfier
These items are listed with 1600 series AP but I'm unable to understand what are these things & the use of them

WLC 4400 series OID for Current Clients

Can someone advise what is the OID for the number of current clients for the WLC 4400 series appliance.
Thanks.

Based on the results of your walk, I would say it's reports all of the instances on that particular controller...and I say this because only one instance is reported. I would think that if you have multiple WLANS on that WLC, you would get multiple instances reported back, so, (maybe, like you) I'm confused by the description in the MIB object where it states:
"No of Mobile Stations currently associated with the WLAN."
which to me looks like "the WLAN" is used in the singular.
At this point, I think the best thing to do would be to open a TAC case with all of this info, and we can get with our developers for confirmation.
Hope this has been somewhat helpful, and please rate these posts.
Thanks,

Differences Between WLC 2000 and 4400 series

Besides the supported number of access points, what are the differences in features between the WLC 2000 and 4400 series?

On the 2006, you have 4 ports on the back, that can support up to 3 AP's being directly connected, and the other port as your connection to the network, and it does not support LAG (Link AGgregation). The ports are 10/100M, and it can not be an anchor for a mobility group.
On the 4400, you either have a 4402 or a 4404,the 2 has 2 Gig interfaces, and the 4404 has 4 Gig interfaces, you can not connect AP's directly to a 4400. Both 4400's will support LAG, and they can be used as anchors in a mobility group. Those are the big differences in them. They configure up the same, and interact with the wired and wireless networks the same.

WLC 4400 and WLC 5500

We have a site with a WLC 4400 and we would like to setup a Controller failover. The WLC 4400 is EOS/EOL and the replacement available is WLC 5508. Can someone advice me on how to configure these units in Primary /Secondary mode so that if any of the Controllers fail, the other one can take over?
Thanks,

Hi Akil,
You are most welcome
Yes, you can configure 4400's and 5500's in a redundant configuration, but both should be runningthe
same code version. I believe the latest version that is compatible for both is 7.0.220.0.
this is the last version that supports the 4400 series.
Here's a note that reflects the support;
Note
Controllers do not have to be of the same model to be a member of a mobility group. Mobility groups can be comprised of any combination of controller platforms.

Cisco MDS series switch details

Hello I 'm new to CISCO Switch world.
I 'm working as Clariion Admin and have have taken up the responsibilty to manage switches.Since,i am a novice i need little guidance on how work on cisco switches.I know the Zoning (how zoning done on MDS 9000 series switches) part ,but would like to venture deep into the details on CISCO MDS series switches.
Like, the use of Port channels etc.
Will really appreciate if some one can help me with a link or place ( not the configuration guide) where in i can find details on concentrated more on the theory part .
Thanks in advance!

Actually the best info is in the configuration guides. There are some external companies that run training sessions on the MDS to provide in depth training. There is the MDS cookbook available on CCO that is also a good point of information. If you search on 'MDS white papers' after you login into Cisco.com, there are several good documents that might meet your needs.
Hope this hels,
Mike

5500 Series WLC internal DHCP Server - Exclusion?

Hi there,
We're using the internal DHCP server on our 5500 Series WLC which works fine.
However on one WLAN we ran out of addresses so changed the subnet from a /25 to a /24.
The problem is that the router/gateway is still in the middle (124/125/126) and not easily changed.
I've moved the WLC interface to the top of the subnet (251) but the router is more difficult as its externally managed/controlled.
So is there a way we can create a DHCP pool of .1 through 250 on a /24 mask but exclude 124/125/126?
Thanks
Mike
PS - Router subnet masks were changed so can see whole subnet.

Mike,
The WLC isn't a fully functional DHCP server, it only allows you to define what is in scope, not what is out of scope. Now if you have a cisco router/switch, you could use that for the DHCP server and specifically exclude the necessary addresses.
HTH,
Steve

Aironet 3600 series and Controller 4400 series

Hi all,
Can Controller 4400 series work with Aironet 3600 series?

Are there any plans to have a 7.1 or 7.2 version for the 4400 controllers or does it not have enough processor/memory to support the 3600's
The 4400 does not have enough "grunt" (CPU power) and memory to support either the 7.1.X and 7.2.X firmware.
Since the announcement of the end-of-sale for the 4400-family, the only thing Cisco will release for the 4400 for engineering releases. Cisco will no longer be releasing new-feature firmware for this hardware.
