5508 WLC License Transfer

I have four (4) 5508 wireless controllers that I would like to consolidate into one (1).  I have 100 licenses on one (1) and 50 on the other three (3).  Is there a way to pull the licenses off of the three (3) 50's and load them onto the 100 so I end up with one (1) controller with 250 licenses?  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

you can go to:  http://www.cisco.com/go/license
There you can attempt to 'rehost' the WLC licenses.

  • 5508 WLC license upgrade ?

    Looks like my 5508 WLC came with base license of 25 ap's and I need to exceed that.
    Is this something I can purchase thru Cisco indirectly thru a vendor ?
    Do I need a license to exceed the 25 ap's ?
    Cheers
    Dave

    The part number for the adder license can be found in this doc.

  • Cisco wlc license evaluation

    I have a question
    I have a wlc 5508 with license base to a capacity 100 AP. I have already registered 65 AP, and now  I need to register in to wlc 57 AP more.
    I would like to install a license of evaluation by 30 days. After that i'm going to purchase a new license to support all my APs.
    Please could you tell me how many AP adder the capacity in the WLC the license of evaluation?
    The license of evaluation are base or ap-count?
    Regards
    Ivan.

    The controllers come with a 60 day license. Here is a link explaining licensing on the 5508

  • How can I add the new AP license to HA 5508 WLC?

    Hi,
    My customer has two 5508 WLC in HA mode and these devices have 250 AP license. Customer bought 50 AP and 50 AP license. But I could not add the license to WLC! When I check the Management>Software Activation> tab there are only two options under the tab these are "Licenses" "License Usage". There is no "Command" option in there. Also I tried add on CLI but this error log appeared " !!!! Blocked: Changing License configurations on Secondary unit is blocked !!!! " 
    I think this is possible when disable the HA but is there anybody know this how can I add the new 50 AP license to HA WLC without disable the HA?
    Thanks,
    Burhan

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply. 
    Yes I know the controllers synchronize with the enabled license and the 250 AP license bundled with two device there is no problem.
    I want to add new 50 AP license in addition 250 AP license. Because customer has 300 AP's.
    As I said, When I check the Management>Software Activation> tab there are only two options under the tab these are "Licenses" "License Usage". There is no "Command" option in there.
    Thanks,

  • WLC 5508 Evaluation License Expiry

    Hi,
    I have a customer who wants to do some WLC migration works. They have a spare 5508 (50 License) that they want to use to house their 100+ APs during the migration works as they are temporarily decommissioning the active 5508s. They have asked me whether they can get an extension to the evaluation license (I suggested the eval license may be the best option to get through this with minimal hassle) as they feel 60 days might not be long enough!
    Thinking about it I read this in the WLC config guide regarding eval licenses:
    "To prevent disruptions in operation, the controller does not switch licenses when an evaluation license expires. You must reboot the controller in order to return to a permanent license. Following a reboot, the controller defaults to the same feature set level as the expired evaluation license. If no permanent license at the same feature set level is installed, the controller uses a permanent license at another level or an unexpired evaluation license."
    This suggests that the license will just continue to be active until a reboot? Is that correct, has anybody seen this in action. I have seen this sort of thing before with IOS-XE code where a feature is enabled as evaluation, and once it expires it doesn't stop the feature working, just sends loads of snmp traps complaining about not having the correct license level. 
    I would be interested if anyone knows what really happens once the eval expires and if the eval license count will remain active until WLC reboot.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have found another option for this unorthodox scenario. I just as an idea went to see if I could get a demo license for a 5508 I have in our lab (which currently has default eval license on it) from Cisco's license portal. Surprisingly it issued me a eval license, I installed it successfully onto the 5508! I now have 2x eval licenses, so in theory this will work for my customer as he can use this again for another 60 days! 
    I then thought I'd try again and see how far I can push it :) I then got a message saying:
    We are unable to provide you with a license at this time.
    You cannot obtain multiple trial licenses for the same UDI.
    Ok, that makes sense, but I was able to add another eval on-top of the factory sent one.
    What I will do is invoke it and see how it goes, and also I will then get to see what happens after 60 days.
    Thoughts welcome.

  • Can't get 1532i to associate to 5508 WLC running 7.6.130.0

    Greetings,
    I've got 20 or so APs on a 5508 WLC.  Most of the APs are 1242, one is 3602.  I'm now trying to get a 1532i to associate to the 5508 and it's not happening.  This is the first 1532 on this controller.
    Also, I got this 1532 AP from a sister site and they had it configured as Autonomous in wgb mode, so I had to do the Autonomous to Unified Conversion.  This conversion appeared to go successfully.  But now the AP won't associate to my controller. 
    Thanks

    You have to add the MAC address of the 1530 to the WLC mac filter list before the AP will join. Here is a link that explains it.

  • How to Upgrade (legacy setup) 5508 wlc in HA

    How to Upgrade 5508 wlc in HA (both the WLC with permanant AP license only, i.e, without HA license).
    As per 
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-5/High_Availability_DG.pdf
    Both the WLCs have a valid AP Count license
    • The CLI should be used to configure one WLC as the Standby WLC (as mentioned in the
    configuration section) provided it satisfies the requirement of minimum permanent license count.
    This condition is only valid for the 5500 WLC, where a minimum of 50 AP Permanent licenses are
    needed to be converted to Standby. There is no restriction for other WLCs such as the WiSM2, 7500,
    and 8500.
    • AP-count license information will be pushed from Active to Standby.
    • In the event of a switchover, the new Active WLC will operate with the license count of the previous
       Active WLC and will start the 90-day countdown.
    • The WLC configured as Secondary will not use its own installed license, and only the inherited
       license from the active will be utilized.
    • After 90-days, it starts nagging messages. It will not disconnect connected APs.
    • With the new WLC coming up, HA SKU at the time of paring will get the AP Count:
    – If the new WLC has a higher AP count than the previous, the 90-day counter is reset.
    – If the new WLC has a lower AP count than the previous, the 90-day counter is not reset.
    – After switchover to a lower AP count, the WLC offset timer will continue and nagging messages 
       will be displayed after time expiry.
    My query is:
    How can we upgrade the WLC version in this scenatio (where both the WLC have only permanent
    AP License and not the HA license), Is it the same as done with HA controller or some othe procedure?
    Pls comment.

    Thanks Freerk for the comments, 
    But my query is, What would be the procedure for image upgradation after configuring HA between both the controllers (Primary-Secondary).
    Will it be same as with the Primary-HA controller, or do i've to upgrade them individually and
    re-configure HA again.

  • Can't put two 5508 WLCs in the same RF group

    Hi experts,
    I have two 5508 WLCs and I want them to be backup to each other. I put in the same "RF Group Name" and even the same "Default Mobility Domain Name" however under Wireless -> 802.11b/g/n -> RRM -> RF Grouping each controller still only have themselves as the only memter to the group.
    Two controllers are having management IPs on the same subnet 192.168.161.x/24. AP-manager interfaces are in the same network as well. They can ping each other fine. The following screen shots show the current relavent config on the controller:
    I do have two controllers in the same mobility group and they are both showing up...
    Does anyone know why they can't add each other to the RF group? All other settings are pretty much default...
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    is there a chance that one of the 2 WLC doesn't contain any access point ? Or that the APs from one WLC are not physically close to the APs of the second WLC ?
    The point of RF grouping is to exchange RF information, to make RRM decisions together and to know what ap is a rogue and which is not. RF group information travels over the air from AP to AP.
    So if a wlc has no ap of if its APs are not close to those of the other WLC there is both no point in grouping with the other WLC in rf group and also no technical way of doing so.
    Regards,
    Nicolas

  • Clients unable to connect and get DHCP - LAP1142N AP and 5508 WLC

    Hi,
    I have 19 locations, each with 1 or more LAP1142N AP's in FlexConnect mode, AP's are primed using CAPWAP to my 5508 WLC at the datacenter. The AP's join the WLC without issue every time. I have two WLAN's, one guest and one staff, the guest network is open and obtains DHCP from a WatchGuard XTM33 firewall at each of the remote locations. The staff side is WPA2/RADIUS and DHCP is assigned from the WLC. Each AP is assigned a static IP that is not in the DHCP scope. For example: DHCP scope on the branch firewall is 192.168.1.10-250 the AP will be assigned static IP of 192.168.1.1.. The AP's are connected to a HP procurve switch that has a untagged VLAN, the firewall is using the native vlan 1 and so is the AP.
    I have been running this network for over a year and it has not had a single issue until the last two weeks. Nothing on the network has changed or has been upgraded.
    Now for the issue: The issue I am seeing is that clients are no longer able to connect to the AP and do not get DHCP assigned to them. I am able to get it working, if I remove the static IP from the AP, the AP will reboot, join the controller, then begin working, users can connect and DHCP is assigned from the firewall as it should. However, If the AP then reboots, the AP will join back to the controller but no clients can connect nor do they get a DHCP address. So, I then reassign a static IP to the AP again and it reboots, connects to the controller and clients then can connect and get DHCP.
    Attached is a running config from one of the APs
    I've found several posts on this topic, in fact the patch of unassigning or reassigning static IP is one that I found. However, I wanted to post this to see if there is any further assistance I can get on this. I am also waiting on my SmartNet to start up and will be contacting Cisco support as well.
    Thanks for any help.

    Alright, so I finally figured out the issue with this. I had a Mobility Anchor set on the guest WLAN and once I removed that all started working again.
    What is Mobility Anchor?
    A. Mobility Anchor, also referred to as Guest tunneling or Auto Anchor Mobility, is a feature where all the client traffic that belongs to a WLAN (Specially Guest WLAN) is tunneled to a predefined WLC or set of controllers that are configured as Anchor for that specific WLAN. This feature helps to restrict clients to a specific subnet and have more control over the user traffic. Refer to the Configuring Auto-Anchor Mobility section of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide, Release 7.0 for more information on this feature.

  • AIR-CAP3702I booting up in mesh mode and not joining our 5508 WLC

    I have a batch of 30+ AIR-CAP3702I-A-K9 APs that I need to setup but none of them are joining to the 5508 WLC and when I connect a console cable and view the output from the AP it shows that it is trying to initiate in mesh mode. I have read other forums that are showing that I need to put in the APs MAC address to a filter list on the WLC for it to show up and then I will be able to change it from mesh mode to local mode. The only issue I'm having with that solution is not knowing how it will affect my current production environment off of that 5508 WLC. I have 69 active production APs with clients working off them and there are no MAC filters currently in place on the WLC. By adding a MAC filter entry for the new APs would the WLC create an implicit deny for all other clients that don't have their MAC addresses entered?? If so is there another work around? Can the mode be changed via the CLI on the AP itself to make it local instead of mesh?

  • Can we use a 5508 WLC in Hong Kong and join 3602 APs in Vietnam to it? Any regulatory contraints?

    Hi friends,
    I am looking for some wisdom here!
    Just wondering if I can use a 5508 WLC in Hong Kong and join 3602 APs in Vietnam to it?
    Any regulatory contsraints / guidelines that would prohibit from doing so?
    - Regards,
    Tarun.

    You have two differnt regulations... here is a link:

    You need to make sure you are not breaking any rules and it is best to have an AP that is specific to that country.  Also if you add multiple country codes on a WLC, the AP's will only be able to use the most common channels and TX power setting allowed on both.  Here is a link explaining that.

  • Cisco 5508-WLC using MS NPS as RADIUS Server for EAP-TLS

    Has anyone experienced a problem getting a Cisco WLC to work with MS NPS server? We've done it before albeit with differnt code versions.
    I have a Cisco 5508 WLC running 7.0.116.0 code hosting a WLAN configured for WPA2 with 802.1x for authentication.  I have two Windows NPS servers configured as the RADIUS servers for EAP-TLS authentication. Via debug info on the WLC I can see the 802.1x handshake take place with the wireless client and the WLC as well as a successful transmission of an Authentication Packet from the WLC to one of the RADIUS servers. However on the WLC I see repeated RADIUS server x.x.x.x:1812 deactivated in global list and on the NPS server I'm seeing event log errors indicating "The Network Policy Server discarded the request for a user"  along with the pertinent auth request info that I would expect the NPS server to receive from the WLC.
    Based on the WLC debug info I'm never actually getting to the EAP-TLS certificate authentication part. It seems the NPS servers don't like the format of the initial RADIUS authentication request coming from the WLC and so don't respond whcih in turn casues to WLC to switch to the other NPS server which produces the same issue.
    Any ideas of what might be the issue or misconfiguration?

    Jim,
    I wanted to know if you can setup wireshark on both of the boxes and see if your are hitting the following bug:
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCti91044
    It looks as if the WLC is retransmitting the client traffic from one radius session with primary over to the secondary in which the radius state attribute that was assigned from the primary server is probably hitting the secondary server. Therefore if the state attribute isnt assigned from the secondary server it will discard the packet.
    May need to open a TAC case to see if this issue is on the 550x controllers also.
    Thanks,
    Tarik

    Hi,
    I think ur speaking about LOCAL NET USERs list on the WLC..
    I am able to change that on my WLC..
    its .. WLC GUI >> SECURITY >> LOCAL NET USERS >> Client on the local user >> Edit it >> Apply.
    Clisk on the name which is under USERNAME and u wil be able to edit it!!
