Cisco WLC 2125 and AIR-LAP1252AG-A-K9 access points

We are running into a little issue here and looking for some help. We have the Controller configured and it appears to be working properly the issue we are running into is that we can only get the above mentioned access points to only join the controller if they are plugged directly into the controller. I would assume that we should be able to plug these access points into any of our switches and they should be able to join the controller correct? Obviously there has to be a configuration issue somewhere and am hoping someone can point us in the right direction.

WLC to Switch - dot1Q trunk on the switch and tagged on the WLC side

Is Cisco air-ap1230a a lightweight access point?

Is Cisco air-ap1230a a lightweight access point? Can it be use for the new CCNP training?
Thanks

Hi Bao,
The 1230 is not a Lightweight AP, but can be upgraded to LWAPP with the A Radio model listed below (Note that this model is EOS/EOL) this is probably not the best choice for your studies;
Solution Requirements
Migration from autonomous access point mode to lightweight mode is possible on these Cisco Aironet access point platforms:
All 1130AG access points
All 1240 AG access points
For all IOS-based 1200 series modular access point (1200/1220 Cisco IOS Software Upgrade, 1210 and **1230 AP**) platforms, it depends on the radio:
if 802.11G, MP21G and MP31G are supported
if 802.11A, RM21A and RM22A are supported
The 1200 series access points can be upgraded with any combination of supported radios: G only, A only, or both G and A.
All 1310 AG access points

Cisco AIR-1141-E-k9 access points

Hi,
Facing an issue with 1141. Not sure if it is from AP or from the Laptops!
Problem is when some users are trying to connect their laptops to wireless it shows Limited connectivity and didnt take an IP address. But with some users its obsolutly working fine.
I'm facing this issue only at one of the site. We have other sites working fine without any interruptions.

Thanks alot, that helped me .....
what about option 43..i am using one wlc and the switch where wlac and APs are connected is playing the role of dhcp server used by APs as there is a dhcp pool configured. please advise. will the command be
option 43 hex (f104xxxxxxxxxxxx) f104 adding to it the management ip address of the wlac in hexadecimal.
if the ip address is 192.168.10.5 then the command will be
option 43 hex f104c0a80a05
please correct me if i am wrong!!!!

Can you use a AIR-PWRINJ-FIB with a AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9 access point?

Is it possible to use a AIR-PWRINJ-FIB with an AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9 access point?

You cannot use a mouse as it defeats the point of a MacBook. You can although have a keyboard for the iPad which allows word processing and simple things like typing emails. Hope this helps

Cisco WLC 5508 and LACP

Hi Fellows,
I wanna know if 5508 Cisco WLC support LACP or not. Actually i work in a project where i must
connect WLC 5508 in Enterasys Switches with Link Aggregation.
Enterasys Switches support LACP 802.3ad but when i learn Cisco Books i see that WLC 5508
doesn't support LACP.
Can you help please ?
Sincerely
Joseph

Hi,
Please take a look into the config guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.0/configuration/guide/c70mint.html#wp1277652.
You can read there:
Once the EtherChannel is configured as on at both ends of the link, it does not matter if the Catalyst switch is configured for either Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or Cisco proprietary Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) because no channel negotiation is done between the controller and the switch. Additionally, LACP and PAgP are not supported on the controller.
HTH,
Tiago

Cisco WLC 2504 and ways to authenticate users

Hi All,
What is the ways to make user authenticate to WLC 2504 and what is the best and simple way and what is the differences btw each method _i mean for example need radius server or something else to be exist_ ?
and any one can give me case study for this issue
System consist of Cisco 2504 and Cisco LAP 1140
Thanks

To implement radius based authentication is the best practice for the small & enterprise environment.
Information About RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol that provides centralized security for users attempting to gain management access to a network. It serves as a backend database similar to local and TACACS+ and provides authentication and accounting services:
•Authentication—The process of verifying users when they attempt to log into the controller.
Users must enter a valid username and password in order for the controller to authenticate users to the RADIUS server. If multiple databases are configured, you can specify the sequence in which the backend database must be tired.
•Accounting—The process of recording user actions and changes.
Whenever a user successfully executes an action, the RADIUS accounting server logs the changed attributes, the user ID of the person who made the change, the remote host where the user is logged in, the date and time when the command was executed, the authorization level of the user, and a description of the action performed and the values provided. If the RADIUS accounting server becomes unreachable, users are able to continue their sessions uninterrupted.
RADIUS uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for its transport. It maintains a database and listens on UDP port 1812 for incoming authentication requests and UDP port 1813 for incoming accounting requests. The controller, which requires access control, acts as the client and requests AAA services from the server. The traffic between the controller and the server is encrypted by an algorithm defined in the protocol and a shared secret key configured on both devices.
You can configure multiple RADIUS accounting and authentication servers.For example, you may want to have one central RADIUS authentication server but several RADIUS accounting servers in different regions. If you configure multiple servers of the same type and the first one fails or becomes unreachable, the controller automatically tries the second one, then the third one if necessary, and so on.

WLC 5508 and AIR-LAP1042N

Hi everyone!
Question is simple, but I cannot find it in google.
Does WLC 5508 support AIR-LAP1042N?
Reagrds,
Aleksei

One more question.
What poe injector is supported on AIR-LAP1042N?
I have found poe injectors for other APs.
1.AIR-PWR-B=
2.AIR-PWRINJ4
Will anyone of these support this AP?

Cisco WLC 5508 and AP 2702i

Hello,
i'm tryin to install a WLC 5508 with version 7.6.120 and with AP 2702i with the follwing firmware ap3g2-rcvk9w8-xx ( 15.2(4)JB5), i've configured saticly the capwapp with the follwwing configuration:
IP Address         172.17.255.234
IP netmask         255.255.0.0
Default Gateway    172.17.255.254
Primary Controller 172.17.255.239
The controller iw the IP 172.17.255.239 and i've connectivity between the both equipments, there's no firewalls between them, however i can't register the AP with the controller, anyone have some idea?

Hi,
May be AP comes with mesh image: You cans ee in logs
If it is with mesh image then use this:
1. Log into your Wireless LAN Controller.
Select the Security tab.
Expand AAA and select AP Policies.
Click the Add button in the far right.
Under Add AP to Authorization List, enter the MAC Address of the Access Point in the MAC Address text box.
Click the Add button.
Click the Apply button
Now your AP must be in downloding state.
2. When the AP finally show up under the Wireless tab, check the AP Mode . It may operating in ‘Bridge’ mode. This is incorrect. It should be in ‘Local’ mode.
If your AP is in ‘Bridge’click the name of the AP under the AP Name column. Under the General tab, click the AP Mode drop down box and select ‘Local’. Click the Apply button in the top right.
Now AP should now be working fine.
Hope it helps.

AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 access point

hi,
can any one help me to configure AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 as standalone acess point.
its a new one with default setting as per my knowledege its a controller based access point so pls help how to convert into standalone access point and which image is compatible with that.

Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
Note In some LWAPP deployments, the LWAPP controller resides between the access points and the rest of the network. In this topology, all traffic must cross over the controller before communication with network resources, such as a TFTP server, can occur. When converting back to non-LWAPP IOS with an access point that is no longer using the LWAPP protocol, traffic does not cross over the controller to reach the TFTP server.
Note The lightweight 1300 series access points can only be converted back to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller.
Using a Wireless LAN Controller to Return to a Previous Release
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller:
Step 1 Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated.
Step 2 Enter this command:
config ap tftp-downgrade tftp-server-ip-address filename access-point-name
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
Step 3 Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds.
Step 4 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View; then uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types check box.
Step 5 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
Step 6 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 7 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 8 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 9 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 10 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 11 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

WLC 4402-12-K9 upgrade to 25 access points

Hi everyone,
my customer has an AIR-WLC4402-12-K9 using 12 access point with it, and they would like to increase the number of APs in use. Is there an upgrade option for 25? I couldn't find anything, but I suppose the hardware is the same, it's the software that differs.
If not, can they buy another AIR-WLC4402-12-K9 and connect it to the existing one? Can the software handle to controllers in the same wireless system?
Thanks in advane for all the input!
Peter

Peter,
Sadly the 44xx units are based on AP management - not a software. You could have another AIR-WLC4402-12-K9 and place the secondary in the same mobility group for seemless wireless networking....however if a WLC fails - you have lost the extra 12 AP capacity!
It would probably make sense to by a AIR-WLC4402-25-K9 or even a AIR-WLC4402-50-K9 for future expansion!
HTH.

Forgetting WiFi password, and not connecting to wireless access point automatically??

I'm using (until tomorrow when I get a MacBook Pro which HOPEFULLY won't have the same problem) a pre 2007 Macbook which is running Mac OS X 10.5.8. It was previously owned by my brother and passed onto me about 4 months ago. Within that time I've had nothing but problems with the WiFi connection!
The first issue would have to be that if I put the MacBook to "sleep" rather than turning off, it disconnects from WiFi during that process. Fine, that's to be expected. But when I wake it up, it's not only disconnected, but I have to re-enter my WiFi password in order to reconnect. Is there some reason that it will not remember the password through this sleep process? Turning off and on normally works fine, and it connects automatically, but not when it sleeps.
The second problem is equally confusing to my mind. In my house, we have a wireless access point upstairs (we have 3 floors after having our attic converted). All characteristics (name, password etc) are the same on the access point as on the main router downstairs. Every device in our house, included a couple of android phones, a tablet, and two laptops running various versions of Windows, all connect to this wireless access point with no problem at all. None of them have been "set up" to do so, in that they detect it as part of the same network and join it automatically. But for some reason, my MacBook won't do it? At first I would assume that perhaps it's due to the age of my MacBook and maybe some flaw in the old operation system, but my iPhone 4S running iOS 7 doesn't connect to this access point either. Is this some weird security thing that Apple use in their devices??
To make things even more frustrating, the MacBook's issue of remembering the WiFi password means that when I come back downstairs and into range of the main router, it's forgotten the password again and I have to re-enter it to reconnect.
Can some PLEASE offer some kind of assistance? I'm getting a brand new MacBook Pro tomorrow and if it's an OS issue then I assume I won't have it anymore, but I'm desperate to solve this issue one way or another considering this machine will be staying in the family and in this house so will pressumably have the same issues.
Thanks in advance guys! If I've not given enough info, just ask

WLC 5508 and AIR CAP 1602I

Hello,
We've got a problem with the AP (AIR CAP 1602I) which is managed by WLC 5508(7.4.100.60)
Users connect to the AP with VOIP phones(Avaya).. and there are following problems during calls
-robot voice
-strong noise(even if call is not made, just speaker is on)
Strange thing is that there is no problem with older APs which are managed with the same WLC.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Well that can be a cause also. I would look at using 7.4.110.0 which is MR1. If that doesn't help, then open a TAC case as it might be something else. Going to v7.5 I don't think will fix the issue.
Many times I would go the the manufacture and find out if the support a certain code or not. It's nice when they do test to make sure it still works. Some manufactures do test and will suggest code versions and that's when you have to decide if the 1602 was really needed or just keep adding 1262's since there was only 3 added.

Cisco WLC 2125 configuration help

So in a nutshell, from My computer I can ping all VLANS - everything seems to in workding order.
when telnet to the HP 5406zl core routing switch I can ping all VLANs and other parts of the network
But when logged into the Cisco wireless Lan Controller I cant ping VLAN 108 gateway IP (172.24.156.2 ) from the neighbour switch or other services on this VLAN
for example cant ping the DHCP on this vlan from WLC.
The neighbour switch can ping IP of the management interface created on the WLC
WLC cant ping VLAN 108
WLC can ping all other VLAN 102,104,106
Not sure where the problem is ??
Configure Dynamic Interfaces on the WLC for the Guest and Internal Users - DONE
Create WLANs for the Guest and Internal Users - DONE
Configure the 5406zl Layer 2/3 Switch Port that Connects to the WLC as Trunk Port allowing the relevant vlans i.e. management vlan, vlan 102 and Vlan 108 - DONE
Configure the Switch Port that Connects to the AP to VLAN 102 - DONE
configure virtual interface IP 1.1.1.1 - DONE
Configure the Router for the WLANs - DONE
LAP is registered to the WLC - DONE
WLAN and SSID broadcast - OK

Not at present it is not, the port on the 5406zl that the WLC is connected was setup as a trunk group and All VLAN tagged. When I tried this I lost all connectivity to the WLC. Is there something on the WLC that need changing also?.

Certificate based authentication with Cisco WLC and Juniper IC

Hi
I have a cisco WLC 4400 and Juniper IC which works as the external Radius server.
I want the wireless clients to be authenticated using certificates. I know the Juniper IC can understand certificates.
My question is can cisco WLC understand that the information being presented to it by the client is not username/pwd but a user certificate.
i have also looked at this article :
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4400-series-wireless-lan-controllers/100590-ldap-eapfast-config.html
What i don't understand here is the need of WLC authenticating the user with his credentials by LDAP when it has authenticated the user cert.
All your help is appreciated.

Hi,
Since you use an external radius server you don't have to worry for this.
The only config that you need to do on WLC is to define the radius server under Security-AAA-Radius-Authentication and on your WLAN-Security-AAA.
The doc you refer is only for Local Radius on WLC.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Christos
