2504 WLC future LAG support?

We just bought a 2504 WLC with 15 AP licenses for our new eight 1141N AP installation.  Some confusion about LAG support for these now confirmed by TAC that LAG NOT supported for the time being.  Has anyone heard about whether this feature will be added to the 2504 in the future?  Seems a waste of those four ports toherwise.  Just wondering....

You can still utilize multiple links on the 2500 platform. If you create multiple interfaces with AP management enabled, you can load balance APs across the port(s).
Likewise, you can put your various wireless client vlans on different physical ports to avoid having ALL traffic on a specific port.

  • Does a 2504 WLC support mobility group with WiSM1 on 6500 Series

    if a 2504 WLC support mobility group with WiSM1 on 6500 Series.
    Model: WLC 2504
    Software version: 7.3.101.0
    Model: WiSM1
    Software verion: 7.x.x.x

    Yes and no. 
    Yes, mobility is supported.  
    No because I personally won't recommend inter-controller roaming.  This is more true when you're dealing with 4400/WiSM-1.  This is even more true when you've got WLC running two (or more) different codes.  

  • Port Configuration on new 2504 WLC

    I've read some conflicting things on the new 2504 WLC's.  Some things indicate all 4 ports are fully useable, while
    others indicate perhaps only 1 or 2.  I think I've read in product documentation that it support a max of two ap-manager interfaces.  Does anyone know for sure if all 4 ports are useable?  I'm thinking of the following configuration:
    Port 1:  management interface and first ap-manager interface
    Port 2:  second ap-manager interface
    Port 3:  first dynamic/client interface
    Port 4:  second dynamic/client interface
    I'm planning on deploying my ap's in h-reap mode with a max of 25 ap's per 2504.  Since I'm using h-reap, bandwidth shouldn't be much of an issue so I'm also considering trimming it down to using just two physical ports as follows so I can take up fewer gig switchports which are scarce at many of my locations:
    Port 1:  management interface and first ap-manager interface
    Port 2:  first and second dynamic/client interface
    Opinions?  I've always deployed 4400's and 5508's with LAG so I haven't had to think about this much until now.

    Hi Evan,
    For sure! There is a really good example on the configuration guide, and assciated caveats.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.4/configuration/guides/consolidated/b_cg74_CONSOLIDATED_chapter_0100011.html
    Benefits for using LAG is increased bandwidth, and redundancy - especially if you have the two (or more in the case of a 5508 WLC) ports connected to different physical switches, eg a 3750 stack.
    Best,
    Evan

  • How-do-i-configure-guest-wifi-access-using-2504-wlc-fortigate-utm-l3-device

    Dear All
    I have a 2504 Wireless Controller with multiple radios attached. I currently have a "private" WLAN configured (taking ip from windows server based DHCP of Range 192.1681.0/24 ) and working, but I need to add a Guest/Public WLAN which should take the IP from Other DHCP Configured on Fortigate UTM of range 172.16.0.0/24.
    We have one SG300 switch in the office and the rest are basic switches.
    Our firewall/router is a Fortigate UTM 240D
    Find the attached network diagram for the issue.
    Is there a SIMPLE way to enabling guest access that doesn't require VLANS (or are VLANS easier than I'm making them)? 
    Thanks.

  • Local printers not working with 2504 WLC

                       I have a 2504  WLC with 3 1262 WAPs in lightweight mode.
         Clients connect using WPA2 PSK AES with no problem.  Clients are Windows XP Home SP3.  Test pages end up in print queue and eventually get a error printing status.  Clients are not part of a domain and in a standalone workgroup - techstream.
    Printer can be pinged from wireless client.
    Another 1262N WAP in standalone mode connected to same lan from windows 7 sp1 clients have no problem printing to a local printer.
    What does work on the Windows XP Home client is connecting to a network shared printer authenticating with domain admin id and password and it works.  Reboot and the network shared printer can not connect multiple reasons are "access is denied" and message box says "only security tab will be displayed....."   Another Windows XP Home SP3 client on reboot can't open the network shared printer with message "Can't find printer"
    The local printers do work on these pc's with an old colubris router that has an outside interface on our lan and internal network with clients getting dhcp address from colubris router of 192.168.3.XXX  . 
    What is wrong with the wireless 2504 WLC?
    Thanks
    Broadcast forwarding was enabled.

    Although a cisco tech support was helpful in making sure multicasting was enabled and a multicast server defined, the problem was at the CP2025DN printer. It had old network ip mask and gateway configured on the printer.
    The new devices were part of the new network configuration (Mask and gateway had changed). I didn’t change that printer when I changed all the other printers at the facility because it was still active thru the old wireless network. I forgot to change the printer ip config when I brought the new wap on the new wireless network with the wlc 2504.
    End result was the clients were part of a different subnet and gateway configuration then the printer and this disrupted the communication between clients and the printer. Once I corrected the mask and gateway on the printer to be the same as the dhcp scope of the wireless network, communication and printing worked.
    Problem solved.  User error

  • 2504 WLC on edge network for guest wifi

    I have a 2504 WLC with a 1042 AP and I have it placed on my edge Cisco 3750 switch.
    I have the management interface of the WLC set on my WAN IP 71.x.x.x subnet range, and I have the WLC doing DHCP duties with a DHCP scope of 192.168.X.0. I have my DNS servers set on external DNS servers out on the Internet.
    I have two Cisco 3845 Routers on my edge network - one for each ISP with BGP protocol.
    Since my native VLAN is 71.x.x.x, I added a sub interface on my main core router and gave it a 192.168.x.1 255.255.255.0 address for the gateway. Also, I added ip prefix-list iBGP seq 10 permit 192.168.x.0/24 le 32 to my main core router. On my secondary ISP router I added
    ip prefix-list iBGP seq 10 permit 192.168.X.0/24 le 32, and ip prefix-list OUT seq 10 permit 192.168.x.0/24 statements.
    I added VLAN 10 to my edge switch and gave it IP 192.168.x.2 255.255.255.0, and the switchports that my core router and my WLC are connected to the edge switch, are in trunk mode with encapsulation dot1q 10. The switchport on my edge switch that the AP is connected to is in switchport access mode.
    I can connect to the wifi with a 192.168.x.x IP address on my laptop, but I cannot get any Internet access.
    Is it possible to have the DHCP scope be in a different subnet than my WAN IP subnet, and allow guests to get to the external Internet only? Do I need to put the WLC somewhere internal on my network i.e. the DMZ and then tunnel the traffic out to the Internet with no Internal network access?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    right, and how does a 'normal/current' user access the internet?  Somwhere going to your ISP there should be some sort of NAT statement when you send interwebs traffic.
    if your ISP is taking care of all of that for you, you probably need to let them know you added the subnet so they can do the NAT.

  • Will the 2504 WLC internal DHCP give IP addresses to clients?

    Is there a way to configure the 2504 WLC so that its internal DHCP only services the LAPs?
    I don't want the controller to give out IP addressed to wireless clients.
    Thanks

    No. 
    DHCP on the WLC is never intended to offer DHCP services to any "wired" side devices, which includes your APs.  These DHCP pools are specifically to hand addresses out to wireless clients attached to WLANs of the specific WLC it is configured on.  Even then, unless you absolutely cannot offer DHCP somewhere else, DHCP on the WLC is not a suggested practice.

  • Configuring Guest Access using 2 LWAPs and 2504 WLC

    Please advise,
    I have 2 APs, Cisco Aironet 1040, and 2504 WLC.
    Is it possible to configure guest access (Guest SSID/VLAN and Corporative SSID/VLAN) without dedicated guest WLC in DMZ?

    Yes you can. You can have up to 16 SSIDs per AP, but not suggested to have all 16. You can either use one port on the 2504 for both SSID/vlan or specify which port is for corporate and which one is for guest.

  • Apple Devices on 2504 WLC with 5 APs

    Hi All,
    I have just setup 5 APs (1042) with a 2504 WLC, I have connected these devices in my home lab and will be deploying this later in a live environment. The WLC/APs will reside on the 192.168.210.x/24 subnet with the controller being on x.x.210.5 and the gateway (including the DHCP Server) being on x.x.210.1/24.

  • Help required to implement Cisco 2504 WLC and 1042 Access Points

    Hi,
    My name is Vidya Sagar. I am new to Wireless technology. We are planning to implement Wireless in our office. I have given the requirements below. Kindly go through the details and let me know how to start.
    We have purchased Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller (One) and Ciscon 1042 Access Points (Five). At present I am going to use 3 access points only.
    I have attached a simple diagram of our office network. We have more than 30 VLANs configured in Core Switch, we are planning to give wifi access to only 3 VLANs.
    1. VLAN 121 ( IP Segment - 10.52.121.0 /24)
    2. VLAN 116 ( IP Segment - 10.52.116.0 /24)
    3. VLAN 100 ( IP Segment - 192.168.100.0 /24) (Guest)
    Please give me a implementation plan to do this. I would like to use LDAP or ACS for authentication purpose.
    Regards,
    Vidya Sagar

    Lets just do this simple first before you start using ACS as that will require a certificate installed on the ACS for using PEAP.
    So first off, the WLC we will say is in vlan 10. When you are going through the startup wizard, make sure you define the vlan tag to 10 on the management interface. Make sure your virtual interface is an IP address that is not routed in your network, like an out of band IP.
    Make sure the WLC time is correct or use NTP!!!!
    Now you should be able to http or https to the WLC. I would upgrade the code to v7.4 and install the FUS image. Please reference this link for the upgrade procedure. You don't have to upgrade now... I would wait till you get everything working first.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn74.html
    Now I would connect the APs on the same vlan as the WLC for now. Make sure there is dhcp on that subnet. Once the APs have joined, then you can move them to any subnet you want. Since you don't have many APs it would be okay to leave them in the same vlan as the WLC management or out them on any other vlan you choose. The APs will be connected to an access port NOT a trunk port!!!!
    The WLC will need to be connected on a dot1q trunk port only allowing vlans 10,100,116,121. The 2504 running v7.4 will support LAG (etherchannel). Any ways, your switch port should look like this for example only
    Interface gigabit1/0/1
    description WLC2504
    switch port trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchoort mode trunk
    switch trunk allowed vlans 10,100,116,121
    spanning-tree portfast trunk
    channel-mode group 10 mode on << only for v7.4 if you use lag
    Don't connect all four ports right now, just port one!!!!
    Your Guest vlan, you will need to create an ACL to block traffic from accessing the internal network. You might want to allow dhcp and DNS bit I would leave it open first until you can verify everything is working.
    Now on the WLC you need to create a dynamic interface for vlan 100, 116, and 121. If you click on the Controller tab in the GUI and click on interfaces on the left hand side, that will take you to where you can add/delete/modify your interfaces. When creating these interfaces, make sure you add the dhcp server IP address for the primary and or backup.
    Now that you have your dynamic interfaces created, its time I create your SSID. Now click on the WLAN tab on the GUI and click on WLAN and then on the too right select Create New and then click go. Select WLAN on the drop down menu and then for the profile name I would use the SSID name also for simplicity.lean e the WLAN id to 1 for this and 2 for the next and so on. After defining these and clicking Apply you can now define your SSID. On the General tab, enable the status and leave the radio policy to all for now, you can decide later what you want to use. Choose your interface you wan to place this SSID on and enable Broadcast SSID for now and leave everything else alone. Now click on the Security tab and on the layer 2 Security, leave it at WPA + WPA2, only check WPA2 Policy and for WPA2 encryption choose AES only. Now go to the bottom of that screen and choose PSk. We will do pre shared key for now so you get to understand the setup and make sure everything is working first. Now on the PSK format, choose ASCII and put your pre shared key in the input box. Make this simple to for testing. You don't want to put in symbols or anything like that. When you are don with that, check apply on the top right and test.
    Now you can repeat this with your other SSIDs just to test. Your guest network you can leave open for now to test open authentication.
