Cisco WLC Apple TV Bonjour

Hi my name is Ivan, I have a question:
My wireless deployment needs to work with Apple TV services, Multicast, with 120 SSID's, 120 AP Groups, 120 sub interfaces virtual, AVC, QoS, Local Policy and improve the services RF (RRM, DCA, TPC, Coverage).
My question is:
Which is the best services to the WLC?
Regards.
Ivan.

Is possible create 120 subinterfaces dynamic on the WLC, 120 SSID's andgroups and tunning the WLC to provide services RF (RRM, DCA, TPC, Coverage, AVC, others)
Yes, it is supported
This table lists the AP groups supported on various controller platforms:
Controller Platform
AP Groups Supported
Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controller
50
Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller
500
Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller
200
Cisco 7500 Series Wireless Controller
6000
Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller
6000
Cisco Wireless Services Module 2
1000
In a side note, since you put 1 AP per class room, it may not the ideal from RF perspective. So I would try to use only 5GHz for these services. (if you use 2.4GHz there may be too many APs can hear each other loud & may have cochannel interference). 
Read below documents as it covers in depth drawbacks of this design. you can consider those points when deploying

  • Cisco SA520W - Apple TV Bonjour issues

    Hello all,
    I am having issues setting up Apple TV with Cisco SA520W router. I have activiated Bonjour under Bonjour Configuration. I have also unblocked multicase traffic. However, still my iPhones and iPAD are not seeing Apple TV, nort Apple TV sees any of the devices.
    All of my devices are going over the wifi. Could anyone help.
    Thanks,

    did you ever figure this out??

  • Bonjour Discovery browser and cisco WLC mDNS

    Hello
    I'm using a Bonjour Discovery browser on an iPad to see if I can check what Bonjour services are available on a cisco 2504 running code 7.5.102.0. WLC is configured as per cisco documentation for mdns:
    Multicast disabled on WLC
    wired vlan (with bonjour services) is trunked to WLC
    mdns profile configured and bonjour services are visible on WLC
    mdns profile applied to WLAN
    when i connect an ipad to the wlan and start the browser, no services appear (2 are visible on the WLC). Debug on the WLC shows the following (where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the iPad mac)
    *Bonjour_Msg_Task: Nov 04 10:51:06.674: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Failed to updated data to Service Provider DB
    *Bonjour_Msg_Task: Nov 04 10:51:12.798: processBonjourPacket : 935 Queried service-string : _dns-sd._udp.local. is not configured in MSAL-DB
    Is it possible to get Bonjour Discovery browser working with cisco WLC?
    thanks

    I have used Avahi when I have had deployments that were FlexConnect and the site had multiple subnets for Apple TV's and or the devices that would be using the Apple TV, printers, etc.  Avahi is free and my customers would spin this up on an available PC or laptop and connect it to the network.
    mDNS AP
    1. This feature enhancement allow controllers to have the visibility of wired service providers which are on VLANs that are not visible to the controller.
    2. User configuration is required to configure APs as mDNS AP. This configuration allows AP to forward mDNS packets to WLC.
    3. VLAN's visibility at WLC is achieved by APs forwarding the mDNS advertisements to controllers. The mDNS packet between AP and controller are forwarded in CAPWAP data tunnel similar to mDNS packets from wireless client.
    4. APs can either be in access or trunk mode to learn the mDNS packets from wired side and forward it to the controller.
    5. This  configuration also allows the user to specify the VLANs from which the  AP should snoop the mDNS advertisements from wired side. The maximum  number of VLANs that AP can snoop is 10.
    6. If the AP is in access mode, the user should NOT configure any VLANs for AP to snoop.
    AP will send untagged packets when a query  is to be sent. When an mDNS advertisement is received by mDNS AP, VLAN  information is not passed to the controller. Hence the service provider's VLAN, learnt via mDNS AP's access VLAN will be maintained as 0 in the controller.
    7. If  the AP is in trunk mode, then the user has to configure the VLAN on the  controller on which AP would snoop & forward the mDNS packets. The  native VLAN snooping is enabled by default when mDNS AP is enabled. AP will send VLAN information as 0 for packets snooped on native VLAN.
    8. This feature is supported on local and monitor mode AP, and not on Flexconnect mode APs.
    9. If a mDNS AP joins/resets (or) joins the same/another controller, the behavior is as follows:
    a. If global snooping is disabled on the controller, then a payload will be sent to AP to disable mDNS snooping.
    b. If global snooping is enabled on the controller, then configuration of the AP previous to reset/join procedure will be retained.
    Thanks,

  • Cisco WLC with Bonjor services - MSE 3310 compatibility

    Hi All,
    We have a Cisco WLC 5508 currently running on code 7.2. We have Cisco MSE 3310 appliance (which is EoS & EoS) and it is running on code 7.2 as well.
    Now, we want to implement Bonjor Gateway services to support Apple Services such as Apple TV, Apple Printer etc.
    My understanding is that in order to deploy Bonjour gateway the controller needs to be at least on version 7.4.
    I can upgrade the Controller Code, but I need to know the compatibility between Cisco WLC code 7.4 (7.4.100.0) with Cisco MSE 3310 code (7.3.101.0, as it the highest code available). MSE 3310 appliance compatibility with WLC Code 7.4 ?
    I checked the Cisco Software Compatibility Matrix, and it's not clear at all.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/compatibility/matrix/compatibility-matrix.html#pgfId-148309
    Thanks and Regards,
    CJ

    If you really want to keep everything compatible, you might want to look at another route, like using Avahi as an mDNS gateway.  Take a look at this document... there are other mDNS gateways out there which can work, but this doc is strictly for the Avahi:

  • Cisco 877w - Apple devices not able to see wired apple TV

    Hello All,
    Can anyone point me to a doc or forum discussion on how to setup the wireless interface to forward multicast packets?  Basically I cant get the ipads etc.. to see the AppleTV to control it.  I connected an AP and it works fine so its got to be something with the way the router handles the packets from teh integrated wireless interface.  I've been searching the forum for about 1hr and haven't founf anything other than a breif mention of broadcast forwarding and multicast setup.
    Has anyone got anything more complrehensive I can read?
    Thanks
    David

    Hello David,
    Thank you for contacting the Sales Acceleration Center (SAC) regarding your recent inquiry, Case Number
    Case Description:
    Cisco 877w - Apple devices not able to see wired apple TV
    Case Solution:
    The Bonjour service uses multicast to advertise your Home Sharing enabled device to the local network. In my case the Cisco 877W I was using had a Layer 3 enabled BVI (Bridged Virtual Interface) to which the Wireless Dot11Radio interface was not fowarding multicast packets properly.
    First of all, obtain the Multicast groups your wireless adapter is configured for (on Windows open a command prompt and run the below command):
    The result will give you an output as per below, we are interested in the multicast address directly after the 224.0.0.252 address 239.255.255.250:
    Then we need to enable multicast routing on the router, connect to your router and enter config terminal mode:
    Next we will configure IGMP v3 and add the relevant Wireless interface on your router to the correct multicast address group:
    Next perform the same config your BVI interface:
    Once complete save your changes and confirm both interfaces have been added to the multicast groups using the command sh ip igmp group:
    You now need to reload your router and restart iTunes and then attempt to connect to Home Sharing from your Apple TV.
    Other commands that I used to troubleshoot with were:
    debug ip mpacket - Multicast Packet Debugging
    debug ip mroute - Debug Multicast Routing
    sh ip mroute - Show IP Multicast Routes
    By default the Cisco implementation of a Dot11Radio interface and a BVI interface don't appear to forward multicast packets between each other. Seems odd to me as they're both in the same L2 bridging group..anyway.
    I am going to close the case for this specific inquiry on my side. If you need moere information Please feel free to reach out to me or any member of the SAC team if we can be of any further assistance or if you have any other related questions in the future. We strive to provide you with excellent service. We value your input and look forward to serving you moving forward.

  • Tablets and Cisco WLC Web Authentication

    Hi my name is Ivan
    I have a question:
    I would like to know which are the tablets that support Web Authentication in Cisco WLC?.
    Android, Samsung, others?
    And wich are the requeriments of the tablet to use this way to authentication?
    Regards
    Ivan

    Any device that has a browser which can generate HTTP(s) traffic utilizing a browser can use WLC Web Auth.  If you're question is regarding being presented "automatically" with the captive portal I have seen this can be dependent on OS.  From my reading about Droids (not hands on experience) the Android devices don't provide a captive portal query that would "automatically" bring up the WebAuth page when connected to an open network using L3 WebAuth security, but you then open your browser and try to hit any web page and you're fine.  Apple IOS can handle this automatically (in most cases)
    As long as the device can connect to the WLAN in question, open a browser, then try to navigate to some URL, it should work fine.

  • HA in Cisco WLC

    Hi friends,
    I am planning to have a wireless environment for a corporate company. I would like to have a Cisco wireless LAN controller 2100 series and 15 numbers of cisco aironet 1142 n access point. Since wireless is gonna be a very important medium for the premises, I am planning to have high availability for the 2100 series WLC.
    With this scenario I am having the following of queries?
    1. Does high availability is supported with WLC 2100 series or need to go for an hihger end WLC's? It would be great if I am guided with some documents on this?
    2. My wired switching infrastructure at the core is running with GLBP. Can I connect the both WLC in each switch in an dual home architecture?
    3. Is there any pre-requistes for doing the high availability for the WLc's?
    4. Yet another company that is close to me do have the same architecture for wireless infrastructure, except that they have cisco WLC as 5508 and Cisco aironet 1142n access point. All the end points NIC adapters that they have support a/b/g standard. But with an n series they continously report low signal strength, the reason for this still unknown?
         But the tech documents of 'n' series access point claims that they support, 300Mbps within 33 feet and 200 Mbps within 66 feet.
    They are having 2 nos of Cisco 1142n access point for every 30 feet but still they are facing low signal strength. Also there workspace are all cubicles and without any interference.
    It would be great if I am guided on this issue also?
    Regards,
    Karthik Anbumani

    Hi Karthik,
    You can build this HA solution based on the 2100 controllers. And if you want HA for 15 access points you need two 2125 controllers. But I will suggest that you consider the 5508 controller since that is a more future proof hardware and will give you more features that you might want to use such as Office Extend.
    Right now there is a bundle available for one 5508 with 10 x AIR-LAP1142 and the GPL price for that bundle is USD 31,424. And you should consider if you need the HA solution or if you are covered by the onsite support. In the product list below I have used the regulatory domain E and power cable for Europe. Make sure that you get this correct for your country. This is a limited offer ending August 1st 2010. You also need the additional 5 access points or more if you want Office Extend.

    Also consider that the 2100 series only have FastEthernet interfaces so you will not be able to utilize the full 11n throughput.

  • 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

    Christos

  • Generate one time authentication for Guest on Cisco WLC

    Hi All
    Sorry for my question, because I just started to work with Cisco WLC.
    I have created some WLAN for local users with authentication by 802.1x + Radius by certificate.
    For Guest I used PSK with MAC-filtering.
    But I see that is not comfortable for Guests, each time they come and want to access our wireless, we have to come and get their MAC.
    I checked on Internet and find that the wireless solution for Hotel, Resorts are very easy.
    I also googled and see that Cisco WLC support Lobby Ambassador to generate Guest username/password. But as I checked, this username/password might only use with Web-Auth, this method is not comfortable for Guest who don't know they have to go to Web-Auth to do authentication (e.g: when they only get pop3 email, or vpn, ... not use browsers)
    Could I use this method (or another method) for creating one time Guest wireless username/password or Guest PSK that can be used for authentication when Guests click to Wireless-SSID name only (no need to open web browser to do Web-Auth).
    Regards
    Hai

    Hi Choudhary
    Thank you much for your information
    Could I reconfirm about my concern.
    With Cisco WLC, I can use WebAuth with Guest user only
    If I want to use Guest user for authentication when guests connect to SSID (not by WebAuth, I means use Layer 2 security only, not Layer 3), I will have to use additional Radius Server.
    And if I understand right, could you please recommend me software based Radius Server with support generate one time username/password for Guest, because I checked IAS/NPS on windows server may not have this function (ISE is not appropriate for us at this time, due to high expense)
    Regards
    Hai

  • Cisco WLC 2500 - 802.1x with Vasco Radius SMS OTP

    Hello folks,
    I have what seems to be a complex implementation with many things that need to be done on a customers network and I wanted to be pointed in the right direction.
    The current scenario is such, the customer has a Cisco WLC 2500 device that has 3 access points(these are in the same AP group) connected to it. There is one SSID that I will call PRODUCTION here that some domain users use to connect to the local network. The customer has requested to have a GUEST SSID added to the WLC where guest users will connect to and recieve a SMS OTP for authentication.
    Correct me if I am wrong, but I will obviously need to segment the SSIDs to have them running on different subnets to ensure that guest users do not have access to the production network once they authenticate. In order to do this I will need to configure Dynamic VLAN assignment for the Cisco WLC and connect it to a 802.1x port on the switch.
    Now what is not clear is I am not interested in authenticating the users that connect via "Production SSID" and want to bypass authentication for those users and have them assigned to the default vlan (or maybe perhaps have them authenticate via LDAP on the AD), however I want to force the "GUEST" SSID users to authenticate so that they may recieve an SMS OTP (reason for this is to force guests to register their phone numbers to use the internet so that Illegal activity may be tracked).
    1)So would it be possible to bypass authentication(or authenticate them via LDAP) for the PRODUCTION SSID as only domain users would know the SSID password to log on and have them by default assigned to the production subnet (default vlan) but force the GUEST SSID users to another VLAN via 802.1x sms otp?
    2)*Important* Another issue that is not clear is will I be able to directly configure AAA Radius settings on the Cisco WLC to directly authenticate with the VASCO Radius OTP and recieve a challenge-response(required for OTP) during authentication? As I have seen from Ciscos Dynamic VLAN assignment docuementation (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008076317c.shtml) additional IETF Radius Perimeters are used such as Tunnel-Private-Group-ID etc are used which I can't seem to configure on the Vasco.
    I do beileve this is a great project in helping me understand the INs and OUTs of CISCO WLC as well as Wireless NAC, If anyone could enlighten me and point me in the right direction I would be forever in debt. Much appreciated.

    On your WLAN you can enable AES and TKIP. Just know that some clients mau have issue when they see both TKIP and AES. Ive had pretty good success with this in the past. Dont forget, you also need to enable WMM allowed to get N rates.
    But you will need to configure AES on the client as well to support N rates.

  • Cisco WLC 5508 - NPS Radius

    Cisco WLC 5508
    Software Version: 7.4.100.0
    Windows Server 2008R2
    I've got everything setup on the Windows Server 2008 side of things (certificates, radius clients, etc)
    I added the radius server on the WLC, and configured a new WLAN to use it.
    Both are on the same subnet.
    When trying to conect to the WLAN it kept failing.  I installed wireshark on the server to monitor the radius traffic, and to my surprise there was no radius traffic showing up on the server.  The radius statistics on the WLC are at 0 as well, so it's like the WLC isn't even attempting Radius.
    I reverified that the server was enabled on both the security tab and the WLAN itself on the WLC.  Rebooted the controller and the server, all to no avail.  I used a radius test client, and can successfully send radius commands to the server using that utility.
    Frustrated, I just kept trying to reconnect on my wireless device, and after about the 15th try, finally I saw radius activity on wireshark.  It rejected my access, but at least I saw activity.  It also registerd radius statistcs on the WLC as well.
    So now if I keep trying to connect repeatedly, about every dozen or so times the WLC actually will send a radius request to the server.
    What in the world is going on here?

    I do have local management users on the controller.
    Some hours later I added the option of authenticating management users, for the NPS server. Then logged inn to the management GUI using NPS radius, worked just fine.
    However, these commands have been useful to me several times, to make sure unsuccessful requests appear in the Windows Event log:
    auditpol /get /subcategory:"Network Policy Server"
    If it shows ‘No auditing’ or just "Success", you can run this command to enable it:
    auditpol /set /subcategory:"Network Policy Server" /success:enable /failure:enable
    So now I know that the NPS radius server works, for management access. I will go to the customer's site some other day to test it for 802.1x authentication. If not, I'll do some debugging to decide wihich to blame - the WLC or NPS.

  • Cisco WLC 5508 not sending SNMP Traps

    Hello Everyone.
    I'm having a weird error on our WLC environment. We have an HA with two cisco WLC 5508 and i cannot get SNMP Traps working on a Windows PC running Kiwi Syslog server (free ed.).
    I can receive correctly Syslog messages, but not traps.
    I Tried also to send SNMP Traps from WLC to a different PC using Linux with snmptrapd and it works fine.
    I tried then to send from my Linux box a snmp trap to my Windows PC, and it works fine, but i still cannot receive anything from WLC.
    Using Wireshark to detect traffic, i cannot see any packet on udp port 162.
    I cannot figure out any problem with my scenario, but i can see the following errors on syslog:
    *rmgrTrasport: Mar 30 16:08:22.602: #RMGR-3-INVALID_PING_RESPONSE: rmgr_utils.c:270 Ping response from <my_windows_PC> is invalid. Ip address do not match.
    My WLC Version is 7.6.130.0
    Thank you for your support.

    I have gone through your query and found the following fruitful links ,please let me know if it helps and mark it correct answer if it is.

  • Cisco WLC 5508 with 3702APs - mobile hotspot for 2000 Guest users

    Cisco WLC 5508 with 3702APs - mobile hotspot for 2000 Guest users
    I've been given a fantastic "opportunity" by my boss to use our existing wireless infrastructure to provide internet access to potentially upto 2000 VIP guests arriving with BYOD devices, in a very densely populated area for a 3 day event. We are talking an area of approx 200m x 15m. Think of it as an awards ceremony/concert. The solution will also be mobile so we will be using internet breakout from different telcos as it will move to approx 20 countries. The area is also incredibly densely populated with other wifi APs. I did a brief site survey and AirMagnet could detect over 2500 other 'rogue' APs from where I was stood! I hope CleanAir works!
    We need a simple authentication method for them to connect with zero admin from our side. We don't want to just offer up a rolling daily PSK as that's a bit amateur and we don't really want the VIP guests sharing the PSK with others during their stay. Ideally they could self-provision by providing an email address.
    I know the WLC can handle webauth for local users but I don't think it scales very well. ie I don't think I can offer the account to several hundred people.
    Cisco ISE looks a very expansive (and expensive) product but I don't think we need all it's capabilities (do I?). It would be nice to just ask a potential user for their email address and grant them access and email them next year. I've seen Cisco NAC but that looks over the top too for just guest users who will only be accessing a shared internet connection.
    I've seen 3rd party supposed software solutions from Kiosk Antamedia etc do they work with Cisco Enterprise WLC solutions?
    We'd like to limit users to a certain (low) bandwidth and block (say) torrent traffic to keep the general user experience worthwhile.
    Does anybody have any case study documents or experience of such a project? As well as the authentication it's how well the APs will handle the dense potential number of clients trying to connect in such a confined space. 
    Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated from the knowledgeable community.
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Rasika,
    We are having WLC 5508 model with software version running 7.4.121.0. AP Models are AIR-CAP2602I.
    Normally our WAN links are good even while the issue pertains. We are connected to remote offices over ipsec site to site vpn for WAN. The link latency in WLC between the AP and the controller shows  <1ms.
    currently the Guest network is using WPA2-PSK auth given in the controller. we are trying to find a option to make the Guest wireless auth local to the office, and see if this solves the problem. 
    any suggestions,
    Thank you,
    Arjun
