Basic configuration for a WLAN Controller - 4400

I've been reading over the "Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide, Release 4.0".
So it looks like once you have the HTTPS enabled and the management IP set, the majority of the configuration is through the GUI - clicking your way through all the settings.
I've never used a wireless LAN controller -- so to make this quick and easy, is it possible to make a "quick and dirty cut and paste" CLI template to get it up and running with just minimal settings left to be done?
If so, could you post it? Thanks.

Well, first you will have to console into the wlc and go through the startup wizard. that is your minimum configuration to get it working. No way around this unless you build a script to automatically enter information on the startup wizard.

Problem WLAN controller 4400

There is a WLAN controller 4400 which controls the access points. There is a collapse of all access points from 00:00 to 00:12.
The link is working properly, no problems with the AC, the point is not restarted.

If your WLC firmware is 5.X then I would like to recommend you upgrade to 6.X.

WLAN controller 4400 series, use service-port for initial configuration, IP address?

Hi, Everyone,
I just got a new Cisco Wlan controller 4402 from somebody else but I can't find a suitable console cable( DB-9 console on the controller) , I googled everywhere and I read I could use service port to do the initial configuration, the CISCO FAQ says initial IP for service port is 192.168.1.1, I tried use Cross-over cable to connect a PC to the service port directly and use a normal cable with a switch to connect the service port and a PC, both of the connections do not work out: from the PC, I can't ping 192.168.1.1 ( PC IP changed to 192.168.1.20) , nor can I go http://192.168.1.1 . The service port Link is solid GREEN and ACT is solid GREEN, the PC NIC says Connected with 100 Mbps , so I'm wondering the IP address of service port is not 192.168.1.1? Please help.
Any sussgestions and advices are greatly appreciated.

Hi,
plz connect service port to the switch port that should be configured as access.
connect a pc (ip address - as u mentioned) to the other port of the switch. both wlc and pc should be in same vlan (create a temperary vlan).
try https to access the wlc.
Thanks

WLAN Controller 4400 HA

I have a customer who has 1 x WLAN 4402 Controller. Everything is working perfectly until last week when we add another 4402 to act as HA.
After that, i can no longer ping the management IP of the 1st WLAN controller, nor getting into the web mgmt interface. However, everything on the 2nd new controller works perfectly.
Mgmt IP of 1st 4400: 10.120.16.2
Mgmt IP of 2nd 4400: 10.120.16.4
I have spent a lot of time on this but still couldn't figured out why.
More info on the attached files.
Cheers,
Hunt

Well, the only thing left to do is reset the wlc1 to factory default and configure wlc1 from scratch since your configuration seems okay. Don't try to do a restore, just in case the config is corrupted. I had to do this once and after a week, same thing happened. which was ap's wouldn't join the controller, but I was able to manage the device.

Basic configuration for Wireless AP

I have been task to configure and deploy 3 access point in three site within our organzation. I need a little help with this task in order to have it complete by Friday. The model we are using is a Air-Sap1602i-A-K9. Thank you for your time.

Basic configurations for running BPM in portal

Hi Experts,
I am new to BPM. I have CE server installed and ready how to configure that to run the BPM flow in portal i have created user and assigned the required roles but the problem is still i can't see my tasks in UWL. Basically i want to get the tasks from BPM to UWL. Do we need to deploy any ear or sca for that. what roles are required to get the tasks and what configurations are need to setup. Please help.
Thanks & Regards
Jeetendra Choudhary.

Hi Jeetendra,
In your process you can define the potential owners for a task by navigating to:
Open the Task > Go to User Roles Tab > Specify the Potentia Owners > You have the possibility of Choosing a user or a role here.
You need to be connected to the CE Server in order to get the lis of available users/roles from UME.
Hope this helps!!

I just purchased logic studio. After making my guitar tracks, I then configured for my axiom controller, now I can get any plugged in guitar sounds to work (plugging them in to m-audio 610. What am I doing wrong.

Trying too get my guitar plugged in to m-audio 610 to work again. It has not worked since I configured my axiom controller. What do I need to do?

Basic configuration for Aironet 1220B

I'm trying to setup my AP so that the ethernet port connects to a hub on my LAN, just like I would connect a PC, printer or server, then us it from a wireless device just like it was on my LAN. I can see the wireless portion of the box from a notebook computer and connect to the SSID fine. I can also ping the ethernet port from a wired computer and can connect to the HTTP port fine. But the notebook can't ping anything on my LAN thru the AP. I thought one of the sample configs would have this, since it's so simple.

12.05 would be the best path for VxWorks upgrade, but you should consider converting the AP to IOS to provide better troubleshooting tools and compatibility. The conversion from VxWorks to IOS is done using a conversion image, which you can load through the browser. The only caveats:
1. You'll want to upgrade the IOS again, after you've completed the conversion. The conversion image loads an old IOS image.
2. You'll want to make sure you disable your radios prior to upgrading.
3. You'll lose your configuration as a result of the conversion (though that can be a good thing). There is a conversion tool that allows you to retain your configuration, but it typically adds a lot of unnecessary junk in the configuration. With a single AP, I'd just do a straight conversion without the tool and then acquaint myself with the IOS GUI by reconfiguring from scratch.
Here are some useful links:

WLAN Controller configuration help needed

Hi,
I need to configure AP with WLAN controller for guest access. we have 2 vlans. vlan 1 - guess vlan (internet only access) and vlan 2 - all access.
while configuring wlan controller. which vlan should i configure as native vlan? I have radius server which would check health of the user and would direct wlan controller to put in user in vlan 1 or 2 depending on its credentials.
please advise how to implement it. what would be initial steps.

Hi,
I have couple of doubts before going further for solution to implement ?
What model of wlan controller & AP , you are using ?
to configure the Controller , initially you need to configure the interface ( which are virtual ) .
You need to connect controller to your existing LAN set-up may be one of the port of your core switch ............
below are the interface which you need to configure in controller .......
1) Management interface with IP ( which will be used to access your controller from lan ... ) this is ip should be able to ping from the network.
2) AP manager IP ( this is again depend on model ) if it is 5500 , this is not required ..
3) Virtual IP : this is should the IP address which is not at all there in your lan eq.1.1.1.1
4) dynamic interface with IP : this is the interface which will map your vlan to WLAN
once you create the mentioned interfaces , you need to create the wlan and map the above dynamic interface with respective wlan.if required you can configure the DHCP pool as well in controller for Wlan.
let me know , whether this information helped you ........................

#MODE_ENABLE

but still I am receiving Error like :

I believe that we have to tell the Prime how to send the variables to Switch, because the switch is waiting for the remote host IP address and the destination file name???

Configuring 5500 SERIES WILAN CONTROLLER

Dear All,
Could someone help me with the basic configuration of Wi-LAN controller.
specifically the 5500 series. setup is to include setting up the Access Points to Communicate with the controller.
Thanks.
Jude.

Hi,
The link below should help you:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.2/configuration/guide/cg_preface.html
Ensure that you create a DNS entry for the controller on your domain controller. The DNS name is CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. On your dhcp server, enable DNS option 15 and put in the your domain name. This will enable the controller to respond to the AP dns query.
The link below sheds more light on the AP join process. Although it is for 4400 controller, it is the same process.

WLAN Controller CDP

CDP is a layer 2 protocol. Therefore, I have to assume that in a layer 3 routed architecture for a WLAN controller that the CDP information is tunneled back to the controller. What would cause the controller to NOT have accurate CDP information about all of its connected APs, assuming CDP is not globally and/or locally shut down?
Regards,
Scott

Not directly related to your problem, but a good reason to upgrade and move away from 4.2.61.0 is a nasty bug I just ran into. Local account that expire are not removed from the controller's database (so they're still in there but not visible in your management interface nor CLI). Once the database fills up to the maximum configured (512 is the default) you can no longer create local accounts.
CSCsm17944 :
WLC does not recognize the expired lifetime of guest user accounts, so
that the local user database is not cleared and can fill up with
non-active entries, preventing any other local net users from being created.
You can check the databse size and fill using the CLI command: Show database summary
Just my 2 cents.

Wlan Controller 2504

Hi friends:
I had configured in my wlan controller, 02 radius server for 802.1x authenticaction. I want to kown wich radius server will use my user to connect.
I want that firt use the IP:10.240.4.7 and second the IP 10.240.134.7, but allway use the IP 10.240.134.7
Best Regard,
Marco

Hi Marco,
Are you saying that even though 10.240.4.7 is selected as the first server the authetication request are not at all going to that server? Are you able to see any passed or failed authetication logs on this ACS?
Also im not sure which version of code you are running on WLC. You may have to look at below document to understand more about RADIUS fallback feature.
