Clear WLC config (on WiSM v4.0.179.8)

I did,
clear config,
then
reset system
(without saving).
Then WLC rebooted and went into setup dialog as expected.
What was not expected was that the,
User:
Password:
were not back to default of admin, admin but had retained their easlier settings.
Why were User and Password not reset to default values?
Thanks, MH

My apologizes on the below post - do you get the same response when you reboot the WLC and hit 'ESC' for additional boot options - and then clear the config this way?

  • WLC Config Analyzer and AP Model / End of Sale APs

    Be nice if the WLC Config Analyzer spit out a list of end of sale/end of life.  I know the some TLMA type tools will do this with SNMP.
    I've got a show run-config from a lot of 5508s running 7.6 and want to recommend older APs be replaced, however each controller has almost 500 APs on it.  I could do a "show ap summary" and then some excel magic to find them.
    Be nice if I could do a sort/statistic of what model APs across many 5508s.

    You need to configure the AP's in h-reap or FlexConnect which it is called in version 7.2.  This way you can specify what ssid is mapped to what local vlan.

  • Backing up a WLC config

    I have several WLC's in our enviornment and one WCS managing them. I use Orion to monitor and backup the configs to all our devices, which stores all them all in a organized database in txt format, this way I can simply cut and paste the config back into a device when needed, however I have tried to backup our WLC in the same manner and have been unsuccesful in every attempt.
    Does anyone know of a way to backup all WLC configs in txt format using Orion?

    Text backups generally don't work with WLC's in my experience. I back up my controllers via WCS. The difference is that Orion is probably doing something like a "show run", which doesn't give you everything you need to restore a controller to a previous state. WCS makes the same kind of XML backups that would be created if you used the web management interface on the controller to create a backup. The XML backups are pretty much one stop shopping for everything you need to get a controller back up and running (although you should always test your backup process).

  • Clearing inactive-config during the upgrade...

    Hi 
    I am planning to upgrade one of the data center spine switch Nexus 7000.
    Cisco says to remove inactive ACL 
                    During an ISSU from Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2(x) or Release 6.1(x) to Release 6.2(2a), the system
                    prompts you to clear inactive access control list (ACL) configurations. Enter the clear
                    inactive-config aclcommand to clear any inactive ACL configurations.
    But in my configuration, the command shows inactive ACL configuration which are applied on the SVI (e.g.  see below) I am not sure why they are inactive. is this due to the bug CSCtf36357 n7k: Need ability to configure ingress netflow sampling with dhcp relay... but i am confused what will happen if I clear the inactive config..certainly I dont want to remove all my acls from the switch
    gw01-vdc01(config-if)# sh running-config aclmgr inactive-if-config
    !Command: show running-config aclmgr inactive-if-config
    !Time: Wed Aug 20 10:49:54 2014
    version 6.1(3)
    interface Vlan60
      ip access-group vlan60-in in
    interface Vlan61
      ip access-group vlan61in in

    solved with restart of the J2EE instance

  • Binary WLC config - does it hols AP config?

    Can I put binary config backup from a working WLC (WiSM in this case) into a factory default WLC & be up & running again? Specifically, is AP config in binary file? (Cisco Doco states AP config is not in "show running-config" output for example).
    After putting binary file in factory default WLC I know I'll have to reconfigure Mobility Group since it refers to MAC addresses of other controllers. Any other gotchas like this?
    Thanks, MH

    If you take a backup of the config of your WLC, you can easily re-apply that to another WLC of the same type & code version.
    When you ask about the config holding the AP Config, I'm not sure what you mean. The AP it's self will store much of it's own configuration in local Flash - is there something specific you're aiming at?

  • Recommended to upgrade WLC to software version 4.0.179.8?

    Hi Sir,
    I'm deploying a few WLC 4404-100 in a Mobility Group. They are installed with software version 4.0.155.5.
    I understand that the latest version is 4.0.179.8. Is it recommended to upgrade the WLCs to this version?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    B.Rgds,
    Lim TS

    Hi,
    I'm having a WLC 4404-100 running software version 4.0.179.8. Doing functional test now.
    Created a WLAN with 802.1x and WEP 104-bits.
    My wireless card is 3Com 3CRWE62092B. Windows XP SP2. Associated to the Lightweight AP and passed my EAP PEAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication with a backend Microsoft domain controller.
    The connection is fine. However, every about 15 minutes, XP prompts the username/password dialog box again. My connection is cut off until I re-authenticate.
    I never faced this problem before using Odyssey client previously with a WLC running software version 155.5.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

  • WLC config dubt

    Dear All,
    I am writing the wlc configuration on the paper, I do not have yet the wlc 5508 here. It is the first time that i configure a wlc.
    I have choose to connect the wlc to two different cisco 3750 that will be the core of a small network (30 users)
    To connect the wlc I have choose to do not use LAG but to configure two different APMANAGER1 and APMANAGER2, then i have assigned them two port1 and port2:
    config interface create APMANAGER1 99
    config interface address APMANAGER1 172.26.104.2 255.255.255.0 172.26.104.1 <-------this is the core1 layer 3 interface ip address
    config interface vlan APMANAGER1 99
    config interface port APMANAGER1 port1
    config interface dhcp APMANAGER1 172.26.100.61 172.26.100.62
    config interface ap-manager APMANAGER1 enable
    config interface create APMANAGER2 99
    config interface address APMANAGER2 172.26.104.3 255.255.255.0 172.26.104.254 <-------this is the core2 layer 3 interface ip address
    config interface vlan APMANAGER2 99
    config interface port APMANAGER2 port2
    config interface dhcp APMANAGER2 172.26.100.61 172.26.100.62
    config interface ap-manager APMANAGER2 enable
    then I have configured 16 different wlan such as:
    config interface address Direzione 172.26.100.98 255.255.255.224 172.26.100.97
    config interface vlan Direzione 5
    config interface dhcp Direzione 172.26.100.61 172.26.100.62
    config interface quarantine vlan Quarantena 23
    config wlan enable 5
    My question is how I can assign each wlan to both APMANAGER? If one of the two port1 and port2 fails I want tha all wlan take over on the aviable port.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Igor.

    You're confused on several notions :
    -Most minor is that the management interface on the 5508 (only this model) also acts as an ap manager. So you just need to create one extra ap manager to have 2.
    -Then there's the big confusion between wlan (SSID) and interface/vlan. You said :
    then I have configured 16 different wlan such as:
    config interface address Direzione 172.26.100.98 255.255.255.224 172.26.100.97
    config interface vlan Direzione 5
    config interface dhcp Direzione 172.26.100.61 172.26.100.62
    config interface quarantine vlan Quarantena 23
    config wlan enable 5
    This is an interface configuration. Not a wlan/SSID configuration. But your last command is to enable SSID 5 although you are not showing the commands to create an SSID 5 with appropriate WPA settings and so on ...
    -Last confusion is that ap managers are interface with which the APs are building their tunnel towards the WLC. It has nothing to do with client traffic. So you cannot bind an ap manager to SSIDs or dynamic interfaces.
    Just have one AP manager configured on each port. If one port fails. All the APs who joined through that port/ap manager (logically 50% of the APs) will be disconnected and quicly reconnect through the other ap manager interface. Nothing else to do.

  • Copy WLC Config from 2006 to 2106

    I've had a WLC 2006 for a while. Just purchased the WLC 2106 as an upgrade. Is it possible to copy the config of the 2006 to the 2106? I don't want to have to manually recreate the WLANs and reassociate the APs with the new controller. I have tried saving the 2006 config to a TFTP server and uploading it to the 2106, but I get an error saying file type is not supported.

    I did jsut notice there is a bootloader update available for the 2106. I didn't look for it before, I thought I read the 2106 couldn't have the bootloader updated.
    "Note - You can use this command to verify the boot software version on all controllers except the 2106 because the bootloader is not upgradable on the 2106 controller."
    Can you verify if this is correct as well as having a bootloader mismatch is causing my config copy issues?

  • WCS WLC Config Files

    I am finding it difficult to locate the backup config files for my controllers on the WCS server.  Can someone tell me the file extension and the file folder where these files are saved so I can verify they are getting saved?  This seems to be more complicated to find than it needs to be.                  

    When WCS was installed it asked you for a folder name where to store these files. Go to Admin--Settings--Server Settings and you will see the drive and folder name. Look in these .. Should be under TFTP folder

  • Measuring the result of AP/WLC config changes.

    What can I do to see the affects of reducing power levels and disabling certian data rates in our environment?
    We have 5508 WLC running 7.4 and a mixture of 3502, 3602, and a couple of 1142s.

    The best way to visibly see the difference would be to walk around with a survey laptop in passive mode.  You could use AirMagnet or Ekahau to do this and it will give you a heatmap of the signal strenghts

    Hi Loe,
    Thanks for the quick reply. 
    Solution:
    To allow additional usage of hardware, beyond the 10 year certificate date, Cisco is providing a software maintenance release with a feature to ignore the validity period of the certificates in the CAPWAP authentication process.
    Maintenance releases with the feature to ignore the validity period of the certificates are being created for AireOS 7.0, 7.4 and 8.0 and expected to be on www.cisco.com by the end of April for 7.0 and 7.4, and by the end of June 2015 for 8.0.
    * what about Maintenance releases for 7.6.x.x? any plans?

  • 3850 as WLC config to connect to 6509

    We have a 3850 which is currently being used as a L3 routing device between our core and Wan edge. I have started to look into the WLC and have an AP connected to the switch.
    My question is do I need to trunk this switch into our core to be able to get the vlans through or as the tunnels are terminated on the switch would they just route from the switch.
    What is the recommended configuration for the 3850 as a WLC
    Thanks
    Roger

    IMHO, the recommended configuration is going to be what works in your scenario.
    If you are doing L3 on that Switch, and turn on the WLC functions the switch is going to terminate the CAPWAP tunnel. From there any traffic is going to follow the routing rules you have in place.
    So unless you have a really compelling reason to change your link to the 6500 to be L2 and have those VLAN live on the switch, leave it a L3 connection and let the traffic route.
    HTH,
    Steve

  • Error in 7.0 WLC Config Guide?

    Maybe one of our Cisco TAC friends here on the forum can confirm or deny.
