Diifference between WLC 2100 and 4400 and 5500

Hi
what is the difference between wire lan controllers(WLAN) 2100 and 4400 and 5500.

Hello syed
Cisco 5500 Series Controllers:
The Cisco 5500 Series Wireless LAN Controller is currently available in one model: 5508. The 5508 controller supports up to 250 lightweight access points and 7000 wireless clients (or 5000 wireless clients and 2500 RFID tags when using the client location feature), making it ideal for large enterprises and high-density applications.
Cisco 4400 Series Controllers:
Because the Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controller supports 802.11a/b/g and the IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 standard, organizations can deploy the solution that best meets their individual requirements. Organizations can offer robust coverage with 802.11 a/b/g or deliver greater performance with 5x the throughput and unprecedented reliability using 802.11n and Cisco's Next-Generation Wireless Solutions and Cisco Enterprise Wireless Mesh.
The Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controller is available in two models. The Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN Controller with two 1 GB Ethernet ports comes in configurations that support 12, 25, and 50 access points. The Cisco 4404 Wireless LAN Controller with four 1 GB Ethernet ports supports 100 access points. The Cisco 4402 controller provides one expansion slot. The Cisco 4404 controller provides two expansion slots that can be used to add VPN termination.
Cisco 2100 Series Controllers:
These controllers are part of a Payment Card Industry (PCI) certified architecture, and are well suited for retail customers who deploy transactional data applications such as scanners and kiosks. With performance up to 100 Mbps, the Cisco 2100 Series Wireless LAN Controllers also enable small and medium branch offices to deploy collaboration applications such as guest access and mobile voice.

  • WLC 2100 and DHCP strange issue.

    Hi,
       i have this scenario: 1 WLC 2100 and two LW AP 3500 connected. If the access points are connected via external switch evrything works well - AP and Clients get IP address from external DHCP and this is ok but when im connecting AP 3500 directly to one of ports on WLC i need to chceck in controller web Controller -> Advanced -> DHCP -> Enable DHCP proxy - after that AP get IP addres and clients get too but ip is assigned from external dhcp but the gateway is set as controller IP address (!!!) so clients not works. I want to configure access points connected directly do WLC.
    I have small setup and i have configured all in the one vlan - management dla users are in the same vlan.
    And the second is - for what usage is internal DHCP server - and how to use it?

    When "Enable DHCP Proxy" is not enabled tha LW AP 3500 cannot get IP address if it is connected directly to LWC... when i add this option then on both LW AP 3500 - one connected to WLC and second directly to switch give me DHCP address from external DHCP but gateway sets as LWC management IP.
    I made test - connected client witout "Enable DHCP Proxy":
    Client IP 192.168.1.201 (correct in dhcp server logs), default GW 192.168.1.1 (correct gateway for this DHCP) correct dnses and in windws ipconfig i see "Server DHCP 192.168.1.1" all is correct.
    Disconnected client and clicked "Enable DHCP Proxy":
    Client IP 192.168.1.201 (correct in dhcp server logs), default GW  192.168.1.252 incorrect gateway - ip of WLC management interface) correct dnses and in windws  ipconfig i see "Server DHCP 1.1.1.1" that shows that WLC modified DHCP packets... but what it try to set default GW as WLC?
    WLC data:
    Software Version
    7.0.98.0
    I can attach screenshots and any other configutation if you need.

  • Differences Between WLC 2000 and 4400 series

    Besides the supported number of access points, what are the differences in features between the WLC 2000 and 4400 series?

    On the 2006, you have 4 ports on the back, that can support up to 3 AP's being directly connected, and the other port as your connection to the network, and it does not support LAG (Link AGgregation). The ports are 10/100M, and it can not be an anchor for a mobility group.
    On the 4400, you either have a 4402 or a 4404,the 2 has 2 Gig interfaces, and the 4404 has 4 Gig interfaces, you can not connect AP's directly to a 4400. Both 4400's will support LAG, and they can be used as anchors in a mobility group. Those are the big differences in them. They configure up the same, and interact with the wired and wireless networks the same.

  • Inter-Controller and Inter-Subnet Roaming between WLC 4402 and 5508?

    Hi!
    Will it support roaming between WLC 5508 ver. 7.0 and WLC 4402 ver. 4.2?

    Here is the matrix for support of IRCM, but the answer is yes.

  • Anchor mobility between WLC 5508 and Aruba/Clearpass

    Hello. I have a question regarding the abiltiy to configure anchor mobility between a 5508 WLC and an Aruba controller. To date, my understanding is it has never been possible and I have never found any documentation that says it can be done.
    Scenario: My organization and a partner organization co-own a hospital. We coexist on a large campus, with each org having a number of buildings that the owning org maintains the network presence in. We also maintain back-to-back firewalls between us and do not hand-off any direct layer 2 interfaces to each other. However, the two orgs do partner to provide each others business SSID's in each other's WiFi networks using anchor mobility. Our current solution utilizes an A/M tunnel between my org's 5508 controllers and the partner orgs 2504 controller and we explicitly permit the tunnel traffic between partner controllers for A/M to work. Last year, the partner org retired some old WiSM's and changed their wireless solution to Aruba and recently implemented Clearpass. In order to maintain A/M with us they left a 4404 operational, but due to the newer code we were running they were forced to purchase a 2504. So now they are only maintaining a limited footprint in their network with a few Cisco AP's and the rest of their coverage areas use Aruba AP's and they have indicated that they want to completely retire their Cisco WLC's. Because we host some of their SSID's on our controllers and can tunnel them to their 2504, they get all of their WiFi traffic coming from our network, however my org can only connect to our SSIDs on their campus in certain areas.
    The solution I have been asked to provide is to find a way to continue providing some sort of anchor mobility services between our WLC's and their Aruba controllers. My org maintains that we do not want to simply hand them a layer 2 interface for security reasons, but they want our SSIDs to be available in all areas of the partner org's campus and vice versa. So far I have stalled the partner org's plans to retire their WLC's by telling them that retiring their WLC's will completely break WiFi between orgs, but they are adamant that some sort of A/M solution must be found.
    Is there any way to do some sort of A/M between a WLC and Aruba controller and if so, is there any documentation showing configuration examples etc?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    I do not think it will work. Even if it get working somehow, it will be operation nightmare to troubleshoot & fix a issue since both vendor will say it is NOT supported solution.
    What about if you ask them to advertise your SSID (assuming it is dot1x) on their APs as another SSID on their network, but pointing it to your RADIUS & DHCP for IP connectivity (you do not have layer 2 requiremnt for this & can do this as long as you have L3 communication between each other)

  • Integration between WLC 5508 and Microsoft NPS 2008

    Hi guys,
    Any of you, have working guidance for WLC 5508 and Microsoft NPS 2008 integration?
    I managed to configure Wireless 802.1x feature (PEAP) but it failed. I'm running software ver. 7.0.116.0.
    Is there any bug related 802.1x on this software version?
    thanks in advance.

    shendy

    Hi Shendy,
    I am not aware about any bug related to this. I think you better check all configuration and make sure it is fine.
    Logs from NPS and WLC (and possibly from the supplicant) may guide you where the problem resides.
    What does the NPS logs tell about the reason of the authentication failure?
    What does the WLC logs say about the failure (check show msglog and show traplog).
    - Make sure the Radius server added correctly with correct IP and correct shared secret on WLC.
    - Make sure that the radius is configured correctly to allow PEAP-MSCHAPv2.
    - Make sure WLC is added successfully to WLC with correct IP address and correct shared secret.
    - Make sure the clients are correctly configured and the server's (NPS) certificate is trusted on the clients.

  • WLC Migration from 4400 to 5500

    dear friends,
    i have a existing wireless network setup in my office
    existing wlc in 4402 and LAPs are 1130 & 1242 all are working fine
    but we are now planning to use new 5500 series controllers for the same access points,
    i want to ask that how i can done this job with very minore downtime and users disconnectivity + zero error results??
    thanks

    WLC Migration from 4400 to 5500
    Hi, it would be better to bring up the 5508 on a different IP address and setup mobility between them and move the APs from the 4400 to the 5508.
    The option off loding the configurarion of the 4400 to the 5508 i would not do it since it is 2 different platforms and the configuration file may get corrupted or not work as it should, also the 4400 requires AP manager interface mean while the 5508 not and other differences.

  • RS 232 port to communicate between cFP 2100 and Multiple cFP 1808

    Hello All,
    I am using one cFP-2100 (controller) and two cFP-1808 (network contoller) for a project.
    All the three devices have Ethernet port, so i can connect to a network switch for communicating with the Host PC.
    My question is:
    All the three devices have Serial Ports (RS 232) too, Can i use those ports to communicate between the three devices (1 controller and 2 Net. controllers) and use the ethernet port in the controller (2100) only for communicating with a Host PC?
    If this is possible, how to do the RS 232 cabling ?
    Regards
    John

    Hi bjsprem,
    You can connect network modules to the controller with serial.   This KB shows how to do this.  Hope this helps!

  • Preventive maintenance WLC 4400 and 5500?

    Hi good morning,
    i asking for help in order to make a preventive maintenance for WLC 4000 and 5500.
    the main problem is: can i open the WLC´s and clean all the circuits they have inside? or must i only cleaning out the WLC?
    And i would like to know if there are documentation about this topic.
    thanks.

    thanks
    I thought of opening the WLC, and use compressed air to remove dust only.
    but like you mention would be better not open it.
    Greetings

  • How to Sync clock on WLC ISE and AD

    Hi there,
    I am stuck in NTP, deployed WLC CWA using ISE that is integrated with AD. I tried using AD as NTP source but no luck(universal fact that Cisco uses NTP where as Microsoft uses SNTP).
    The issue is, if time is not synced between WLC, ISE and AD; web redirection stopped working and no authentication takes place.
    I tried installting Meinbergglobal NTP software to distribute time to my Cisco devices. It does work with Cisco devices but it acts as master and do not sync its own time with AD.
    I am trying to figure out a way to sync Cisco with Microsoft, is there any way in this world to do so???
    Please help..
    Thanks in advance           

    You mean I should sync AD and all my cisco devices with global NTP server?
    Yes and no.  If you know your network well, doing this is a pain in the proverbial backside because you have to open firewall rules to everyone going out to the global NTP server.
    The smart thing to do is what George has described.  You select a few (between two to four) to go out to the internet to synchronize.  Normally I would nominate our core routers do this.  Next, all our distribution switches and core switches synchronize to our core routers.  All our servers, PCs, printers, WLC, switches  sychronize to our distro switches. 

  • WLC 4400 and 5500 Fail-over

    Can we do the same thing with WCL 4400 and 5500 series for failover? We have 1 existing 4400 WLC and we wanted to purchase another 1 for fail-over as well as backup. But right now, 4400 is EOL already. The only option is to have the 5500 WLC.
    So if you do have previous set-up like this, so I would need your inputs.. Otherwise, same as usual, will gonna test to work this out.

    You can have both in a primary and backup, but make sure they are on the same code version. I'm assuming that you also have the configuration correct for the two wlc to communicate.
    I would put them both on the 7.0.220.0.

  • Need to synch NTP on 2100 and 4400 Wireless LAN Controllers

    I have 5 WLC's (3-2100, 2-4400) and need to synch the NTP server ip addresses on them.  I know how to do this but have a question.  Using the gui, once I apply the change to the NTP ip address and save the changes, will the WLCs need to be rebooted for them to complete synchronization?

    No, you don't have to reboot the controllers.  They should sync right up.

  • Mobility groups between WLC 4400 & 5500

    Can I configure a mobility groups between 4404 Wireless LAN Controllers and 5500 Wireless LAN Controllers?
    Thanks.

    Yes, the platform doesn't matter. The code used to matter but recent versions are ok between each others.

  • Compatibility with 4400 and 5500

    Folks,
    I have a doubt, there is an existing setup of 4400 series controller. I would like to add more access points , which the current controller cannot accommodate, also client requires redundancy in the solution. I was wondering, if it is possible to add 5500 controller and configure one to one redundancy b/w 4400 controller and 5500 series.
    Regards,
    Siddarth .

    I see no reason why you couldn't. But make sure you share the same code and update the
    mobility group.
