5508 Controller & Muliticast

have a Cisco 5508 controller (version 6.0.199.4) that when I enable global multicast mode it will work for an hour or two and then it will kill the network. All internet both wired and wireless, access to server everything dead. I then have to directly connect to the service port and disable the global multicast mode. Then two reasons for enabling it are Docs2Go and LanSchool both require multicast to be enabled. I have it enabled on our wired network and it works OK there. I am probably just missing something stupid. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

On the Controller tab.
so if you're not setting a multicast address, then you are running in Unicast mode.
Multicast - Unicast - This is the easiest method to use. When the WLC receives a Multicast packet, it replays that packet to every AP that is connected. Now this does work, but can be very network intense, as every AP gets the stream. So if you have 100 AP, there are 100 streams, 300 AP 300 streams.
Mulicast - Multicast - This is the better method to use. With this method, the AP will join to a multicast group, that you configure, preferably in the 239.x.x.x administratively scoped space. Now when the WLC gets a mutlicast packet, it replays it once to the group.
Now, the WLC side is easy. Select Mutlicast - Multicast and configure your group, each WLC in your mobility group should use a unique address. For the WLC you are done.

AIR-CAP1602i cannot join a WLC 5508 controller

Hello,
I'm managing a large number of access points on a Cisco wlc 5508 controller.
We've recently purchased a bunch of new AIR-CAP1602I-E-K9.
note that we already have AIR-CAP1602I-E-K9 and other models in production.
These A.P are not able to join the controller for some reason, I've tried a lot of different things but I am now at a loss.
I have checked the regulatory domain, upgraded the FUS, manually upgraded the software version of the LAP to match the version on the other A.P.
I even downgraded/upgraded the WLC code (version 7.4.x and 8.0)
I use the dhcp option 43 to to send the controller IP.
Here are the info that can help:

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.
WLC Software version
7.4.100.0
On the NPS server (2008 R2) I just see my username granted access because it matches the network health policy.
Laptop Sony VAIO SE2
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230
Driver version 15.1.1.1 Date: 3/12/2012

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.

Third-Party access to AP health-information over 5508 controller

Hello,
Situation:
Third-Party Tool (Whats up gold) has connectivity to a 5508 controller, only.
There is no connectivity to the remote LAP access-points from the third-party tool.
Is it possiply to get the health information (AP available or not) over a controller via SNMP?
Sven

Just to elaborate on what Steve is saying:
The SNMP monitoring of APs is still through the WLC itself. You would be pulling this information out of the WLC not via reachability to the AP itself from your tool.
Or you could use Whatsup for just an IP reachability (ping) of the AP which would require interaction with the WLC.
Can Whatsup be a trap receiver? I believe the WLC will send TRAPs for AP up/down events which I would think you could query off of.....

Import 5508 Controller Config from NME-AIR-WLC25?

Greetings!
For 3 years now, I've been using an NME-AIR-WLC25 controller with an ever-increasing number of AP's (reaching the 25 limit a few months ago). As part of a new construction project, I'm adding 5 more AP's onto my network. As a result, I purchased a 5508 controller with a 50AP license to get me started.
My question is simple-- is it possible to import the WLC25's configuration to the 5508? I have a feeling the answer is no, but I figure it can't hurt to ask, and if I'm lucky it will save me quite a bit of time configuring this new controller.

Yes, I'm running 7.0.116.0 on the WLC25 today, so that sounds promising.
I've already downloaded the config file from the WLC25, and I did notice it looked pretty basic command-line, so I was certainly hoping that to be the case.
If the 5508 firmware is newer (I haven't even unboxed it yet), do you expect I'd run into trouble importing the old config, or should I version match first, import, then upgrade to latest?
Any other gotchas I should look out for in doing this?

5508 controller 8 ports ?

I am looking to configure if, 5508 controller's ports particularly in different VLANs and pull cable from the port and put it in L3 to it's belonging VLAN ? and at the same time all the different SSID will work as usual our standard and best practice that we do.

you could but then you are limiting yourself to 1G of connectivity.
You'd probably be better served by just ether channeling the ports that connect to the WLC and tagging the vlan/dynamic-interfaces so you can have up to 8G of aggregate bandwidth.
HTH,
Steve

Channel-Group on 5508 Controller

Ok .. I have an odd question regarding creating channel groups to connect 5508 controllers to my network.
Today I have a single 5508 Controller and it is attached to the network using two interfaces configured as a channel group. I am in the process of adding a second controller to be an HA for the existing controller. Here is my question. Do I simply add the interfaces of the new controller to the existing channel group or do I need to create a unique channel group for the new secondary controller? I am thinking that the channel groups are basically a point to point type connection and are basically connection specific right?

Assuming you aren't doing VSS. I keep the channel numbers the same on both side.

Centralized 5508 controller

Have a design question regarding 5508 controller. (500 ap license)
Running a mix of 1042 and 1602 AP's, ~150 per site.
DHCP / subscriber authentication / etc is performed locally at each site.
Is it possible to locate a 5508 centrally and use with 1040/1600 series AP's across a layer 3 network or VPN back to the central site?

Yes it is possible, configure ur WLAN for local switching & local auth with remote branch AP in FlexConnect mode

Cisco 5508 controller

I have Cisco 5508 controller in our high school. I changed the password for one of our WLANs yesterday.(WLANs>WLANs>WLAN in question (in my case OBSD-Internal)>Security>Layer 2. For some reason it reverted back to the previous password ( this was confirmed by a client attempting to connect). What could possibly cause this?

Hi Sean,
May be you did not saved the config on WLC(After changing the password).

Cannot join AP to 5508 controller

Hi all
We have an infrastructure with a Cisco 4402-50 controller. We've just installed another controller, a 5508, and WCS as an "umbrella" to control the systems.
I have trouble joining some AP's to the 5508 controller. Note that all AP's connect fine to the older 4402 controller. It seems that our older AP's join fine, but the newer 1142 models just won't join. As far as as I can tell both controllers have exactly the same configuration (except for IP-adresses and such of course), I've even used configuration templates in WCS to ensure this.
If I go to Monitoring-->Statistics-->AP join on the 5508 controller, it says that the reason is "RADIUS authentication is pending for the AP". I don't understand this, because I've not set up any RADIUS authentication for AP's (only clients). I use MIC's and a local MAC database on the controller to authenticate the AP's.
Btw, the software controller version is 6.0.188.0.
Thanks in advance for any response!

Hi leolaohoo, and thanks for your response.
I've tried to configure the 5508 as primary, but that didn't cut it.
However, I've just fixed the problem by upgrading the firmware on the 5508 to 7 (ED), that - for some reason - did the trick.
This problem is now solved.

Minimum connection speeds 5508 controller and 2602E APs

We have an applicaiton that is sensitive to network speeds. Is there a way to guarantee a minimum wireless network speed such as 100 MBs utilizing a 5508 controller and 2602e APs?

We have an applicaiton that is sensitive to network speeds. Is there a way to guarantee a minimum wireless network speed such as 100 MBs utilizing a 5508 controller and 2602e APs?
Not easy. Wireless is a shared medium. This means if one client talks, everyone else has to stop and wait for their turn.
It's like doing video. Video is time-sensitive. If you put a single AP in a room (granted you've got full 1Gbps ethernet access all the way), and you get 25 people continuously streaming videos, then you'll see some impact. Bring the number down to say, 8 to 10 and you'll see improvements.
What kind of application are we talking about here?

New software for the 5508 controller -when?

Hi,
Anyone have a clue when the new software for the 5508 controller is going to be released?

I hope they have resolved the bug CSCte01087 present in software 6.0.188.0. since my 1252 can't associate to the controller i had to downgrade to 6.0.182.0.

LWAP issues with a 5508 controller after AP upgrade

Hi All, I’m having a few problems after upgrading my AP to a LWAP and hope you can help.
I have an AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9 which had c1240-k9w8-mx.124-21a.JA loaded, I followed the link below and upgraded with Cisco’s upgrade tool to c1240-rcvk9w8-mx with no problems at all, after the upgrade I could then see the LWAP on the 4402 controller and had it working a treat.
Now the problems begin, I brought it into the office where we have 5508 controllers, plug in the LWAP into our management switch and boot it up I get an IP assigned from the DHCP server and the AP goes into discovery mode but never finds the controller.
I have logged the boot process but this does not give much away, our other 1100 series AP’s boot fine, I was hoping that somebody here could help me resolve this issue.

And that is where she sits and does nothing more, I have noticed the DNS problems but the other 1100 series LWAP’s boot up after show that same issue.

Hi,
If new ap's arent on the same subnet as the controller's management interface, you've got to 'tell' them how initially find the controller.
Dns and dhcp option 43 are the most common methods:

WLC 5508 Controller Boot SW 5.2.157.0 ER.aes not found

Hello Cisco-Experts,
we just received a new 5508 installed with SW-Version 6.0.199.4, Filed REcovery Image 6.0.182.0.
Because all other Controllers, all 4400-series, are running on SW-Version 6.0.202, we would like to
upgrade the software to this level.
The Upgrade documentation is mentioning a Boot Software-File 5.2.157.0 ER.AES that needs to be
downloaded also besides the Controller Software file.
But on Your Web-Download-page for 5508-controllers, I cannot find the described file:
Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller Boot Software 5.2.157.0. ER.aes.
Why are YOu not offering this file anymore for this type of controller ?
Is it possible to use this file from the 4400-Controller-series ?
Or is the SW-version already installed on the controller a newer one ?
Please advise
Thank You
Winfried

Hi,
5.2 platform code is not supported on 5500 controller and so you don't need that bootloader file and don't have to worry about it. 5.2 bootloader file is for 4400, wism, and other 2100 series small business controllers. 5500 controllers are design for 6.0 and 7.0 codes and there are no bootloader file for these codes.
Here is the bug as well!!
