CDP nei results and Flex Connect AP vlan mapping behavior

Hi all,
    We're running controller code 7.4.100.108 and PRIME version 1.3.
    Occassionally, usually as the result of some networking event that causes flex connect AP's to lose connectivity to their controller, the flex connect AP's lose their vlan mapping configuration when they reconnect to their home controller.
    We "think" we have noticed that the cdp nei results are different for AP's that have proper vlan mappings from those that have lost their mappings.  For example, in the below example, only AP's 8213 and 8219 have lost their vlan mapping configs (all the AP's below are flex connect):
8107   Gig 1/0/45        177           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8106   Gig 1/0/44        163           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8216   Gig 1/0/47        136           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8213   Gig 1/0/48        135           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0.2
8219   Gig 1/0/46        159           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0.2
8109   Gig 2/0/48        153           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
...and when the vlan mapping is fixed:
8107   Gig 1/0/45        177           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8106   Gig 1/0/44        163           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8216   Gig 1/0/47        149           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8213   Gig 1/0/48        149           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8219   Gig 1/0/46        152           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
8109   Gig 2/0/48        153           R T      AIR-LAP11 Gig 0
     I've done some reading to try to understand the details of the "Port ID" field of cdp neighbor with AP's but haven't found my answer.  I want to know what the significance of the difference between "Gig 0" and "Gig 0.2" is.
     I'm going to lab up an AP and see if I can replicate the behavior and confirm that it is related to the vlan mapping, but haven't gotten to it yet.   If anyone can point me to the nuts/bolts behind that sublte change in "Port ID" it'll help.
     By the way, I'm interested in this problem so that I can quickly identify which of my hundreds of flex connect AP's have lost their vlan mappings after a network disruptive event.  I can't find an interesting report in PRIME that will let me see it quickly.  So if a scriptable cdp nei command could identify the problem as well, that would be interesting.
     Thanks in advance for the help.

I also have created WCS/NCS/PI templates to push the WLAN to vlan changes in the early morning just I'm case. When users start complaining, it's faster to just push out the commands to all than trying to find what AP lost its vlan setting.

  • 2.1EA2: Pinning Query Results and changing Connections [fixed in 2.1.0]

    I am on 2.1EA2 (JDK 1.6.0_16) and been playing with the new SQL Worksheet pin query results functionality. I have found that it is possible to run a query against one connection, pin the results and then change connection and run the same (or a different) query against another connection. I really like this, but found a few problems:
    #1 There doesn't seem to be any way to tell which connection a query result tab was actually run against
    #2 Even if all rows are fetched, if I then disconnect from the first connection it can get quite messy. Sometimes I get an empty connection dialog (I can't remember the exact title and it doesn't reproduce consistently) with only the close window X in the corner. Some times I get prompted to log in with a connection information dialog with no reference to the connection it is connecting to - cancelling only brings up the same dialog again until I successfully connect. Some times I get prompted to log in and while that is still on the screen, SQL Developer logs me back in to the connection (even though I don't save passwords) - I even get a new worksheet for the reconnected connection.

    Raghu,
    I am happy with both.
    #1 - I would be happy if the connection name was at the start of the tool-tip style pop-up when hovering over Query Results tab and the Query Result SQL dialog that opens on the SQL button. -K-'s suggestion makes it immediately obvious for the currently selected Query Results tab, without having to move the mouse or click on something.
    Ideally, I would like something similar for the other output tabs (ie Script Output), but they seem to show results for all connections that the worksheet has used, so the same concept may not work.
    #2 - I am used to the grid being cleared when disconnecting from earlier versions - I assumed that this was a bug where SQLD was not checking the connection of the results, just the current connection of the worksheet.

    HI Andrea,
        I think with present netweaver developer studio , we can create Web services with end points as simple data types in java and the array of that simple data types.
        not sure whether it support our own custom developed classes as end points.
         just go through these links.

  • Indesign and Flex connection - WYSIWYG!

    Guys,
    My client has requested for one application. He says that he shall create some files in indesign and those should be rendered in Flex when requested by the end user. I am completelu clueless about this requirement. Seems like Indesign can export into some format which can be read by Flex.
    Client wants something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujshxYRKjBw
    Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance for your kind consideration.

    Hey Harbs,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. I checked your demo and its worth appreciating. Excatly what I require
    Can you please let me know two things in a a bit with technical details:
    1. How to send the Indesign document contents to Flex ?
    2. How to send the Flex content to Indesign server to design PDF?
    Once again - Good work by the way for the Demo thing. Very few resources are available online when googled

  • Cisco ISE with Flex Connect ios 7.4

    Hello my name is Ivan
    I have a question:
    Is possible to do a deployment with cisco ise (trust sec 2.0)  and flex connect and web authentication to a cluster of cisco wlc (ios 7.4)?
    There are a features or requeriments to configure this?
    Regards
    Ivan

    By "cluster of cisco wlc" are you referring to the HA features for the 5508?  HA or not should be irrelevant to the configuration of ISE w/ 7.4 WLC on flex connect.
    Configuring CWA (central web auth) via L2/Mac-Filter and RADIUS NAC will require that you have a FlexConnect group built with the desired AP within the group.  You will need to build FlexConnect ACLs and apply them to the FlexConnect group that correspond with the various NAC states the client will be in during the CWA process. 
    You will probably need 1 or 2 Web Policy ACLs
    1. allow traffic to/from dns and ISE PSN
    2. allow traffic to/from dns, ise and other resources (for instance for posturing/remediation)
    Please note that you cannot "dynamically" assign ACLs to FlexConnect APs/Groups as part of the transition from central webauth reqd to RUN.  The WebPolicies ACLs are the only ones that can override (think of them like pre-auth acls).  Once you finally send back the access-accept for the client you can not apply dynamic acls to the particular wlan/vlan.
    For instance if you needed differentiated access on a single network between guest and vendors, you couldn't send an access-accept back with an ACL for vendors vs an ACL for guests - in a FlexConnect environment.  They would have to be placed on separate networks with their respective access.
    It's possible this type of configuration (much desired) will be allowed in 7.5 whenever it rears its head.

  • Cisco Flex Connect and users can not get IP Address by WAN

    Hello my name is Ivan
    I have a wlc 5508 with license base to 50 aps, i use a deployment flex connect. I already registered all my access points, I use web authentication to authenticate users guest, and the service dhcp is in the central site.
    My issue is the users in each remote site, can not get an ip address by dhcp from the central site, they can authenticate in the guest ssid, but any users can not get an ip.
    The request is passing by the wan in this way
    Central Site DHCP - Router WAN - Remote Site - Users with notebooks. I use flex connect central deployment (all the traffic consulting to the wlc) .
    perhaps i should use local deploy? The wlc is in the central site.
    Can you help me to resolving this issue please? , perhaps any advice?
    Regards
    Ivan.

    Thanks Osita
    If I configure Central Authentication and  I configure central switching I need to create a dynamic interafce for each remote site and each dynamic interface associated with a different VLAN ID, because I can not associate a single interface dynamic to the same  VLAN ID, but in my case the client remote in each remote site have the same network segment with the same VLAN ID with the same SSID for guests. My goal is to configure web authentication with the local DHCP server at each remote site, will this work?.Each remote site have its own server dhcp.
    If I configure authentication central authentication with central switching with web authenticacion as I set in my scenario?
    My issues are the interfaces dynamics, because I have the same network to the customer guest with the same ID VLan in each remote site
    Regards

  • Flex Connect Across Multiple VLANS same SSID

    I just need to find that if we have flex connect setup for differnet vlans using single controller, will roaming works when client connects to AP in a differnet VLAN but using same SSID.
    Example below:
    1) Client connects to AP on specific SSID mapped to VLAN 100, get an IP address ..all good at this point
    2) Client walks and connects to a differnet AP on same SSID but mapped to VLAN 200...at this point I observe client doesnt get a new IP address in fact it retain IP from step-1 and there is no connectivity
    3) Client walks back to first AP and connectivity is restored
    Why in step-2 client doesnt gets a new IP from VLAN 200 even when it shows connected to AP.

    Just to add to Rasika.... L3 isn't supported....I just ran into this a few days ago.... clients should request another dhcp when roaming to another FlexConnect AP that is mapped to a different VLAN.  The issue is, that some clients don't try to renew their dhcp address and gets stuck with the default 169.x.x.x.  I see this with Apple devices in general and what we are going to do is get rid of the multiple vlan setup (vlan per floor) and create a bigger vlan that the SSID will be mapped to.
    Thanks,

  • AP Flex-connect VLAN mapping auditing

    I am trying to find a way to conduct auditing for VLAN mapping for AP in flex-connect mode.
    I have seen the mapping changed due to AP reboot or other reasons untill the user reporting connection issues. I have looked NCS, and have not found a reporting function for this. Anyone uses script to do so?

    I also have created WCS/NCS/PI templates to push the WLAN to vlan changes in the early morning just I'm case. When users start complaining, it's faster to just push out the commands to all than trying to find what AP lost its vlan setting.

  • I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.

    I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both still result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.
    I have even bought a new Airport Extreme Router just to confirm it is not the router and it still didn't help.
    I have brought all items in the same room with wired connections and still same issue.
    I was thinking maybe ATV 3 might help since it has 2 wifi antennas and faster processor.
    Have tried everything I could think of.
    This was one of the main reasons I bought a Macbook Air for this airplay feature. Very frustrated.
    Any thoughts; any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I also disabled Norton Firewall and restarted the Air and Now I'm able to use Air Play.
    I know that the Apple remedy said that to do that in the support article, but I totally forgot I had that enabled..
    It actually works. I can even stream to the Apple TV now through my MacBook Air.
    BTW, Go into setting under the ATV, and click on update...you'll see that there was another update avaialble for the last gen of ATV...
    It does have to restart twice..I guess once to download and and nother to apply.

    Some updates and clarifications:
    1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
    2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
    3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
    4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
    I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
    An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

  • Apple (MAC) and Cisco Flex Connection deployments

    Good Morning,

  • Flex Connect Groups - WLAN to VLAN mapping

    I have a question about configuring WLAN to VLAN mapping on FlexConnect Groups.
    Do the mappings that are configured in the FC Group get inherited by the APs when they are placed in the group?
    It seems like they do not.
    I am playing around in a lab with a virtual WLC running 7.5 and an old 1131 AP.
    If I configure the WLAN to VLAN mapping on the individual AP, it works as expected.
    If I configure the WLAN to VLAN mapping within the FC group and add the AP to the group, it does not.
    The AP does not inherit the settings from the Group.
    I am wondering how you would deploy a lot of APs without having to configure each AP individually.
    Thanks

    Yes, you are correct. It is not like normal AP groups where it will map WLAN to AP belong to that AP group.
    Anyway since you have to convert each AP manually to FlexConnect mode, you should do the WLAN mapping at that point as additional step.
    FlexConnect Group is mainly to give fast roaming feature for FC APs in brach deployment solution (typically not so many APs). Also keep in mind you can have maximum  25 APs in FlexConnect AP group for WiSM2 or 5508 & you can go upto 100 in 7500 WLC. (see table 7.3 in below link)

  • How to plan Failover for the following Scenarios in Flex-connect mode.

    The following queries are in respect to AP High availability (not SSO fail over or Controller HA), meaning if one controller fails, the AP will be failing over to the secondary controller which is in a different Geo location. the AP will be in Flex-connect mode with local switching and local auth. in this scenario, following are my queries
    1: If i have an SSID that has an interface group linked to it, can i fail it over on other controller where there may be a single WLAN linked to it.?
    2:Do we need the subnet masks to be same at both ends?
    3: if i have an SSID with open authentication, can i configure the remote network SSID with no authentication?
    4: can any one link me up with a document that explains configuration case study of the flex-connect mode fail over scenarios.
    All the help given would be really appreciated.
    Thanks.

    hi Scott,
    Sorry for replyimg late. and thanks for your reply and suggestion.
    it did help me a lot, but now i am in a tiff.
    the thing is my client has following existing scenario:
    he has 6 disparate locations with a standalone 5508 WLC at each location.
    he is now planning to configure AP failover for every location.
    we are using the Flex-connect design as he has not procured a HA-SSO license.
    also the WLC are not in same location.
    the Flex-connect design is with Local Switching and local Auth.
    there are 2 SSID which are causing me issues.
    1: SSID A is linked to an interface group which has multiple vlans.
    2: SSID B shares its WLAN interface with another SSID (the wlan is split between 2 different SSID)
    we need local switching for these and also they need to have local auth.
    so if i remove the interface group for SSID A and use a bigger subnet, what will be the best possible mask to use considering that the ARP and DHCP broadcast shouldn't choke up the network (existing subnets are /21 and /22). or any workaround to minimise the network activity.
    and for SSID b what is the configuration i would need to do on the secondary controller or is it just that the SSID needs to be present on the controller and the mask need not be same.
    sorry for troubling you and thanks in advance
