AP 1140 and WLC 2106

Does someone know if WLC 2106 support AP 1140 ? I read that AP 1140 is CAPWAP only and I don't know if WLC 2106 supports CAPWAP.
Thanks

Yes it does, you may have to upgrade your controller software to get 802.11n and CAPWAP, use the latest code 6.0.182.
CAPWAP was supported from code 5.2.157
The max throughput on the 2106 though is only 100mbps so yo wont see the highest speeds

  • WLC-2106 and multiple interfaces on the same network

    Hi there,
    I recently created a TAC request to the Cisco support regarding our WLC-2106, but they could not help me. Basically I just learned that you can create new interfaces for the wireless LAN controller and then dedicate them to a given wireless network (SSID). This way I could more effectively utilize network bandwidth also. Problem is that all of the interfaces have to be in a different network segment in order to work, which is not what I want. I specifically want to have several interfaces on the same network segment.
    Has anyone tried to accomplish the same?

    Basically what I've misunderstood is that all the traffic generated by our wireless clients have been going through the single 100Mbit/s ethernet port on the wireless LAN controller (management interface), and to mitigate this I thought I could create new interfaces (ports) and dedicate those to given WLAN networks.. I see now that this is not supported. Not inside the same network at least.
    So, by reading further and consulting my best friend Google I learned about a setting called "AP Mode". Changing that from Local (the default) to H-REAP the APs should not route their traffic anymore through the management interface on the wireless controller, but instead route all the client traffic directly to the local LAN. This way you effectively remove the 100Mbit/s bottle-neck when all the APs were using the management interface both for configuration and client data traffic.
    It seems you also have to enable H-REAP Local switching from a given WLAN network in addition to changing the AP Mode of your access points to H-REAP. I'm still in the testing phase here so should anyone have any insight to this, I'd be greatful to hear more.

  • WLC 2106 and Linksys Bridge WET610N works with 7.0.116.0 release?

    Hi all,
    i'm having troubles with WLC 2106 controller and several wireless bridges, so i'd like to know if i can fix it in some way.
    My environment is as follows:
    1 WLC 2106 with 2 Aironet 1240G
    I have a production appliance that needs an ethernet port to work, so i bought a Linksys Bridge WET610N to make it works via wireless.
    The Linksys bridge connects to the 1240G as a client and works well, but the appliance connected to the ethernet port of the bridge is unreachable.
    Searching for the problem, i found that the wlc act as a proxy arp for the wireless clients and being the ethernet appliance a "passive" client, the controller isn't aware of it.
    My WLC is running the 7.0.98.0 firmware. In the release notes for the 7.0.116.0, in the "Non-Cisco WGB Support" seems to state that now also non cisco bridges can work using the passive client feature. I've already enabled it on my controller but this didn't solve my problem.
    Can anyone tell me if the upgrade to the 7.0.116.0 can fix it?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure what (cheap) devices can do the wgb feature that is inter-brand compatible.
    The thing is that the WLC enforces the rule "1 wireless client = 1 client". Meaning you can't bridge multiple clients behind a wireless clients, that just screws up roaming mechanisms etc ...
    Cisco WGBs have the IAPP protocol to tell the WLC "listen, I'm a WGB wireless client and those are the wired clients connected to me, allow them on the network".
    What does "universal WGB" feature does is that the WGB forwards the traffic of the client (only 1 client supported in this case !) to the infrastructure AP but the WGB never sends anything with its own mac address. It uses the client mac address as source.
    This means that the WLC has no way of knowing that there is more than 1 device. It just thinks that your wired client is a wireless client.
    So it's more than mac cloning since the WgB has to be the one authenticating to the infrastructure (Wpa/wpa2 whatsoever) by spoofing the client mac. The WGB is still in charge of roaming decisions and so on and so on...
    I hope it clarifies the situation ?

  • WLC 2106 and iPhones

    Just recently I am having issues with my WLC 2106 WiFi network and iPhones.  For the past week, the iPhones have been locking up the network much like as it was described with the ARP issues with the exception that what I have been reading, this issue did not effect the 2100 series.
    I've done searches but have not found anything applicable to what is happening now.
    Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

    It's running on v. 4.0.217.0.  Right now I'm controlling who is accessing the wifi via MAC filter to prevent anyone with an iphone to log on but that just doesn't cut it since there's a lot of visitors coming in to use the wifi.
    I won't be able to go in and do more testing for a week or two to get that debug log.
    But this seems to be a common issue with at least the 2106s.  As soon as anyone logs in with an iphone, the controller locks up and the only thing to do is reboot.  It only fairly recently started happening so maybe it's only with the newer iphones?

    WMP200 and WMP54G Wi-Fi PCI cards  installed on PC.
    My infrastructure is WLC 2106 and two APs 1231G and one 1242G.
    The problem is that the cards have problem with connection to WLAN.
    The broadcast SSID must be enable then the cards connect to WLAN otherwise is a problem with connection.
    When the card is connected but connection is unstable and poor.
    The cards have the newest firmware installed.
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
    Kamil

    Hi Kamil,
    Have you associated other types of clients with these AP's?  If so, do they perform better?
    You might want to start by checking the status of the poorly performing client on the controller while it's connected:
    monitor -> clients
    You'll primarily be interested in the RSSI and SNR. The other counters such as 'excessive retries' should be observed as well.
    Also check the AP's radio interface stats.  Check for excessive interference or channel utilization.
    This is a very helpful doc that you may want to check out:
    Unified Wireless Network: Troubleshoot Client  Issues

  • WLC 2106 problem

    Hello,
    I have problem with new one WLC 2106 controller. I make this basic configuration (after reset):
    (Cisco Controller) >show interface summary
    Interface Name                   Port Vlan Id  IP Address      Type    Ap Mgr Guest
    ap-manager                       1    10       10.10.10.21     Static  Yes    No
    management                       1    10       10.10.10.20     Static  No     No
    virtual                          N/A  N/A      1.1.1.1         Static  No     No
    At this point, everything works OK. Controller is accesible via HTTPS, AP (one 1130) is connected too. But next I need create new WLAN and another interface VLAN - named ak-lan
    config interface create ak-lan
    config interface port ak-lan 1
    HTTPS acces is still working, but when I configure IP adress:
    config interface address dynamic-interface ak-lan 10.10.11.10 255.255.255.0 10.10.11.1
    HTTPS acces stops. In fact, it seem like HTTPS starts on new interface - it's accesible via 10.10.11.10, but (after certificate warning) shows only empty page (Page is not accesible..)
    I dont have an idea why. I tray downgrade software (originaly comes with 7.0.98.0) to 6.0.196.0, whitch I use on another same controller, but the behavior is the same. Now I use software 6.0.199.4. Again the same behavior.
    "show interface summary" says:

    All interfaces (excluding virtual) matched to ping. All ïnterfaces have netmask 255.255.255.0.

  • AP1522 with WLC 2106

    Hi.
    I want to know how to join the AP1522 to a WLC 2106.
    The Controller and the AP are in the network, but the AP can't be joined to the controller. What is missing?

    First of all make sure that the APs can communicate and get IP address from DHCP server (it might be an external DHCP or internal pool running on WLC).
    Are your APs on the same subnet as controller?

  • NetStumbler 4 and WLC 5.1

    Hello,

    The WLC don't recognize NetStumbler... Is-there a new signature for this version ?
    I have check the "Enable check for all Standard and Custom Signatures".
    Thanks in advance.

    Signatures come with the code, but can be modified. Just upload the signature to your pc or laptop and add the signature if you know it or maybe Google it and then upload it back to the WLC.

  • WLC 2106 question

    Hello,
    What is the recomended way to connect  5 APs 1242 to a wlc 2106?
    Connect directly the 5 APs to the wlc and use one port for the management interface and connection to the switch or to connect the APs to a switch and use one connection for the wlc?
    Thanks in advance.

    Depends on the AP.
    One FastEthernet connection to the switch doens't "really" create a bottleneck.  Your AP might.  If you, say, you have 1130 or older then I'd say no significant bottleneck because the APs are also FastEthernet.
    If you use the newer ones, like the 1250 and newer, which has GigEthernet and/or higher throughput (if you enable 802.11n) the yes.  The switch AND the WLC 2100 are both the bottleneck.

    The software guide states "A zero value for the VLAN identifier (on the Controller > Interfaces page) means that the interface is untagged.
    The default (untagged) native VLAN on Cisco switches is VLAN 1. When controller interfaces are configured as tagged (meaning that the VLAN identifier is set to a non-zero value), the VLAN must be allowed on the 802.1Q trunk configuration on the neighbor switch and not be the native untagged VLAN.
    Cisco recommends that only tagged VLANs be used on the controller. You should also allow only relevant VLANs on the neighbor switch's 802.1Q trunk connections to controller ports. All other VLANs should be disallowed or pruned in the switch port trunk configuration. This practice is extremely important for optimal performance of the controller.
    Note Cisco recommends that you assign one set of VLANs for WLANs and a different set of VLANs for management interfaces to ensure that controllers properly route VLAN traffic"
    Can you supply a screen shot of the interfaces page from your WLC and supply the WLC switch port configuration also? Just to sanity check what you have so far?

  • Microsoft Server 2003 / PEAP / WLC 2106

    Has anyone ever had a certificate vanishing issue on an M$ Server 2003?  For some strange reason the certificate under my IAS RAS policy keeps disappearing after an undetermined amount of time?  The server is the only DC / CA root / IAS in the forest.  I'm not sure why the self-signed cert. will not remain in the cert. store?
    Current config.:
    (2) WLC 2106 (both RADIUS clients on DC/IAS)
    (5) 1141 LAPs
    Authentication: PEAP/MS-CHAPv2
    Encryption: TKIP/AES
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    In 4.1, disabling DHCP proxy did just that, it disabled the "proxy". If you ever look at your dhcp lease of a wireless client, it comes from a dhcp server of 1.1.1.1 (virtual IP of the controller). With proxy disabled, the address will no longer be masked.
    In 4.2 and beyond, disabling dhcp proxy actually disables the DHCP Relay that is the process of the controller sending the dhcp requests to a specified server.
    So if in 4.1, you had "dhcp proxy" disabled, in 4.2 and beyond, you are actually disabling the relay as well.
    If this is indeed the case, enable dhcp proxy, or add an IP Helper adress to your router for this vlan, just like you would normally do for Wired clients.

  • Web Redirection Problem on Cisco ISE 1.2 and WLC 7.5

    Hello,
    We are at initial phase of deploying ISE 1.2 in our environment for Wireless Guest Users.
    I have configured ISE and WLC to talk to each other which is working fine. An SSID with MAC-Filtering is also configured on WLC and ACL only allowing ISE and DNS traffice.
    I have configured proper authentication and authorization policies on ISE. Now, when I try to connect my device (laptop and android mobile), I see my device gets associated with the SSID (Demo) and gets the right IP Address from DHCP and right VLAN from WLC.

    I also see a redirect url in the detailed authentication logs. But the problem is that when I open my browser on my device, it doesn't get redirected to the guest portal url. Now since I can't get there, I can't continue with the rest of the process of authentication, COA and final ACL for internet access.
    Can some one please either guide me the correct steps that I need to follow, if I have mis configured something or advise if this is a bug.
    Thanks in advance.

    The ACL is definitely used to define what traffic is re-directed to ISE and what traffic is not redirected. Having the permit-all statement at the end will break redirection. If you are using flex-connect then you will need to use flex-connect ACLs and apply those to the flex-connect APs. The links below should give you an idea of what needs to be done:

  • Rogue AP - Not in sync with WCS and WLC

    WCS - 7.0.164.0 and WLC - 7.0.98.0.
    For some reason, I am seeing rogue ap alert on WLC and am not seeing on WCS.   How do I clean up database and sync with WCS and WLC.
    I am seeing same thing with coverage holes.

    Allen,
         On the WLC go to Management > SNMP > Trap Controls, make sure that you have the traps checked.

  • WCS and WLC AP values not fully in sync.

    I have recently added several new aps on my network,after they connect to the controller, I set a hostname, and change the ip address to a static. However, WCS still sees the aps by the old ip and host name despite going into each one, hitting audit, and then save, any way to fix this? Thanks.

    You may want to also consider the following:
    1) Both the WCS and the WLC need to be at the same major revs (i.e.: The if the WCS is at v4.2, then the WLC should also be at 4.2). Failure to do so results in some significantly bizarre behavior such as errors after an audit - at least that was my experience.
    2) You may have better success if you make the change from the WCS which pushes the change to the WLC and that way the WCS is already aware of the change. (Normally, this should work - I know of one instance where it does not: changing Master Controller Mode from the WCS).
    3) If you feel strongly about making the change in the WLC (and are running a newer version of code in the WCS/WLC - i.e.: 4.x), there is a setting that forces the WLC to send configuration changes to the WCS once APPLY and "Save Configuration" are clicked:
    From the *WCS*, click on Configure->Controllers and click on the controller you wish to change, and check the "Refresh on Save Config Trap" check box and click OK.
    This will cause the controller to push any configuration changes up to the WCS after an APPLY and "Save Configuration" are clicked.
    4) In terms of getting the WCS to actually synch up with the controller (assuming the WCS and WLC are at the same rev. levels), you may need to do what I did (this was subsequent to upgrading to v4.2 in both the WLC and WCS and having chronic "mismatch" status between the WCS and WLC):
    From the WCS:
    Configure->Controllers, check the controllers you wish to synch up. From the dropdown, select "refresh config from controller"
    Next, select the DELETE option (instead of the RETAIN option). I believe that there are bugs in the software that upgrades earlier revisions to 4.2. I know that it might seem undesirable to DELETE information in the WCS, however, if you choose "DELETE", it seems to get rid of the residual information from the previous revisions that did not upgrade properly and the WCS will now be in synch with the controllers. DELETING the other settings makes the audit errors go away.
    Subsequent audits may go better for you after performing the step shown above. However, you may need to repeat this process in item 4 above once or twice more until the database gets cleaned up, but after that my own experience has been that the WCS and WLC will eventually stay in synch.
    It is unfortunate that we are forced to come up with workarounds like these when the software should clearly be able to handle this on its own, but we do what we must to get the job done.
    Hope this helps,
    - John
