Flexconnect static mapping of WLAN to VLAN

5508 running 7.4
I want to create a definition for a particular site that maps WLANs (SSIDs) to switched VLANs.   I know that I can go to Wireless => Select AP => VLAN mappings on an individual AP basis.  But is there a way to create a group that will do this?  I thought it could be done with flexconnect groups but I just could not find a way to make it happen there.  Then I ran across this Architecting Network for Branch Offices with Cisco Unified Wireless Cisco Live presentation:
http://d2zmdbbm9feqrf.cloudfront.net/2013/usa/pdf/BRKEWN-2016.pdf
And on page 28 it states:
AP groups give the ability to statically map Wi-Fi service (WLAN) to VLAN based on physical location
And it then goes on to give a Configuration/VLAN mapping example in which I fail to see where VLANs are mentioned at all.
Is what I am trying to do possible?
Thanks,

Hi Scott, thanks for the reply
I have a main campus with several different distribution blocks that each use unique VLAN IDs.  And I have about a dozen remote sites that will all use common VLAN IDs.  I am configuring a single SSID (WLAN 2) to be used across all of these locations.  So at my main campus building "A" will have WLAN 2 mapped to VLAN 55 while building "B" will have WLAN 2 mapped to VLAN 65.  At each of the remote sites WLAN 2 needs to be maped to VLAN 15.
So let's say I want to configure the main campus buildings A and B.  I create a dynamic interface for vlan 55 and name it something creative like vlan-55, Likewise for vlan 65.  Then I create an AP group named APG-55, add WLAN 2 to it and add all of my APs in that buliding.  What I don't understand is where the dynamic interface comes into play.  From your explanation it would seem that I need to assoiciate the dynamic interface to an AP group somehow.  What am I missing?
Thanks!

  • 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)

  • WLC 5508 Flexconnect dhcp request landing on wrong vlan/dhcp pool

    Hi,
    We've recently setup our 5508 to work with Flexconnect. The 5508's run on 8.0.100, they are setup redundant. On the remote site we've setup a local dhcp pool for the various WLAN's/VLAN's. The AP's have registered with the WLC succesfully.
    We then setup the flexconnect groups, added the ap's and configured 1 vlan mapping to it's corresponding wlan id. Alsio setup the wlan, made it so it's using flexconnect, bound it to the interface which will allow it to reach the local dhcp machine.
    User can see the SSID, can login using the password, but they are awarded an ip addres from a different dhcp pool, meant for antoher vlan than the bonding in the flexconnect group is indicating.
    When I check the local dhcp pool for bindings on the mac address of a machine I can see multiple bindings. At 1 point I had 3 bindings in different pools, 1 on the native vlan for the AP, 1 on the vlan it should have and 1 on another vlan which wasn't configured anywhere in the flexconnect setup.
    Does anybody have a clue how and why this is happening?

    Just to add to Salma... All your AP's in FlexConnect are most likely connected to a trunk port. Make sure the native Vlan is defined and the vlan's are allowed on the trunk port. Then you need to verify that the AP's native Vlan and WLAN to Vlan mappings are correct. Seems like you might have some AP's that are not defined properly and that's why users that connect to a WLAN is getting in the wrong subnet.

  • Where can I find the file where the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored?

    In our company we are using DHCP to assign static ip addresses to our clients.
    Now we are forced to change the ip address range. To prevent changing each allocation
    of mac-address to ip-address manually with the admin tool i would like to change the allocation
    in the file where the allocations are saved. The reason ist that i just have to use copy & paste for all
    the allocations.
    So how is the file named and where can I find the file where
    the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored? Is it just an ASCII file?
    Must i note anything when i change the file manually?

    From man bootpd:
    BOOTP/DHCP STATIC BINDINGS
         Static IP address to ethernet address bindings are stored in the /etc/bootptab file and in Open Directory.  Bindings specified in the /etc/bootptab file take precedence over those in Open Directory.
         See bootptab(5) for more information about the /etc/bootptab file.
         For Open Directory, bootpd looks at the /Computers records for the following properties:
    /etc/bootptab is a standard text file, while the records in Open Directory can be manipulated either through the command line, or via Workgroup Manager.

  • Mapping DSCP to Inner VLAN (QinQ)

    Hi,
    I am trying to achieve to following scenario. Basically I have Q-in-Q with DSCP tagged - vlans which I am trying to map to specific inner vlans, trying to eliminate as much as possible the subinterfaces burden.
    Any piece of advice- what types of routers DO support this and what could be a possible configuration.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Andreas,
    no you cannot do that... on switch 2 you need to have an interface terminating your QinQ tunnel with metro vlan ID 1000.
    If you want to make vlan 20 untagged you might want to configure it as the native vlan in the incoming trunk on the CE switch (the trunk facing Gi0/1 of switch 1).  QinQ also encapsulates untagged traffic meaning that after the metro tag gets removed the frame won't have any dot1q tag.
    If you need more control on dot1q tags you might want to explore the fascinating world of EVC which is not available on Me3400 though (it is available on ES20/ES+ cards for 7600 routers).
    For more info on QinQ on Me3400 I suggest you to check the config guide

  • Static mapping in 10.3.x Server?

    I have a situation where we want to use static mapping (DHCP Reservations in Windows-speak) but cannot upgrade to 10.4 because of a software compatibility issue. Is there a way to enable/add this feature on 10.3.x? Thanks!

    To achieve what you want you'll need to change the server setup. Start by making your server an OD master and use different named LDAP accounts on the server for the clients (or remove/rename the local accounts (folders) first).
    The clients need to use LDAP info to find the server (look in Directory Access).
    Older OS X server versions used Netinfo domains (Jaguar too? at least 10.1.x did).

  • DHCP static maps configuration using serveradmin (terminal / commandline)

    Hi there,
    I'm having much trouble using serveradmin to create new static map entries. Unfortunately using the serveradmin-tools gui isn't an option, because setting up DHCP static maps are only one small part of a much bigger script.
    I tried to manually execute every line. I've also tried the example from the command line manual, but everything without success.
    I would be very glad, if someone could help me solving this problem.
    So here is the the output of my script...
    every executed line leads to a
    "dhcp:static_maps = emptyarray"
    message.

  • DHCP static maps ignored

    No answers on any other threads, so starting a new one.
    XServe running Server 10.6.2. Configured the DHCP service with a dynamic range and about a dozen static maps. Started the service and forced a lease renewal on a client that had a static map. Watched the DHCP messages and an address was assigned - FROM THE POOL.
    For some reason, even when receiving a request from a client with a MAC address that's defined in a static map, the DHCP server totally ignores this and hands out an address from the main pool which is obviously nonsense.
    Is anyone satisfactorily using static mapping in Snow L Server's DHCP service? Is there some 'extra' configuration that needs to be applied to tell it to use the static maps that are defined? There must be a solution to this, without it DHCP is USELESS. Surely someone has a clue about what's going on here. Please?

    I fixed my problem.
    In order for Apple's chosen DHCP server to use static maps, you have to enable this in the configuration file - something Apple in their infinite wisdom have forgotten to do.
    By default in the /etc/bootpd.plist file bootp is disabled:-
    <key>bootp_enabled</key>
    <false/>
    Change this to:-
    <key>bootp_enabled</key>
    <array>
    <string>en1</string>
    </array>
    Or for whichever ethernet interface you want to serve these addresses from.
    Well done Apple.

  • DHCP/Subnets/Static Maps setup question

    We have a unique teaching environment where we would like both employees (with laptops) and clients to be able to plug into any ethernet port in the building or be wireless. My question is, what is the best way to set things up so that employees always get the same ip and have access to the full range of services (file services, LDAP, Internet) but customers only have access to the Internet but not internal services. I have tried using static maps for employees but for some reason, customers sometimes end up getting one of the static maps intended for employees (and I have verified that all the MAC addresses are entered correctly). I am pretty new to Tiger server so any help is greatly appreciated.

    If im not mistaking your DHCP settings are overlapping with the ips you have statically assigned. To fix this reserve say 192.168.1.1-127 for static ips and let dhcp use the remainder.

  • How do I remove a DHCP static mapping that will not go away in Server Admin?

    I have a static DHCP mapping to a retired network that I can't remove from the Server Admin GUI.
    To be specific, I click remove and it disappears.
    To then click "SAVE" and it comes back.
    How do I remove it manually? Where are the static mappings located that make it reappear each time I click "SAVE".
    From the DHCP logs:
    Jun 28 18:36:18 macmini-home servermgrd[97]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Notice:Removed record GabrielHouse-Gateway
    Jun 28 18:36:27 macmini-home servermgrd[97]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Error:Unable to update/remove record with id 45F7E04B-6368-419C-9A86-64458BBAC5C0 because 12 records found.

    Hi John,
    Thank you for taking the time to write up the approach and places to start.
    I have checked in all of the places listed and no luck. No occurance of the "stuck" statically mapped DHCP address. Just to add a note, of detail about the particular device in case this is a client device that is causing this .... The device is an iPhone and it is NOT using the bad static assignment. Also, the static record is an IP address that is now outside of the current network range..... It is 192.168.0.25 .... where as the current DHCP server range is in the 10.1.XX.XX range.
    Also, This server is not using Open Directory, but I did open WGM to see what I could see thru the GUI and I found no record in the local database.
    Also, note - I attempted to delete ALL DHCP configuration on this server by
    1) Exporting the configuration data with Server Admin
    2) Manually removing the bad DHCP static assignment in the plist
    3) Turning off the DHCP Server
    4) Deleting the full DHCP zone.
    5) Importing the DHCP configuration from the edited plist.
    6) Turning on DHCP Service.
    The bad record is back....
    Thanx for the ideas. Keep them coming....

  • Google Static Maps for IOS

    HI,
    I'm working on using static maps on the iPhone and its running really well so far. I can add custom markers and the maps look nice.
    What I'm having a problem with is having a link on the marker itself. I just can't see where the link goes and google don't mention it on the static map
    help pages. Can it be done?
    This is my URL to add map and markers, so I guess it should go in here...somewhere
    url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=14&size=" + 310 + "x" + 320 + "&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:blue|label:A|" + mapLat + "," + mapLong + "&sensor=true";
    any help would be great

    No, it would probably be better to check with Google.

  • Google Static Maps display with LabVIEW

    Hi,
    I have made a VI that displays the map based on Google Static Maps. For testing, I give random LAT and LON to display the location on front panel. 
    Issue is, whenever I try to change the coordiantes via a numeric control, the display either takes too much time to load and most of the times it shows half of the display. I tried putting a delay inside while loop but it does the same; shows me half image.
    The Google Static maps work a URL script that has a specific format provided my Google. The format can be viewed here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/s​taticmaps/
    I have also attached a VI. A little asistance is needed in how I could either change my code in a such a way that i uses less memory and takes very less time to load.
    Thank you.

  • Need to Import DHCP Static Maps

    I just built an 10.6 OS X Server that will be running DHCP, I have the DHCP mappings in a spreadsheet with the Description, IP and Mac address. I need a way to import them, any ideas which tool I can use?
    I have already tried Leopard Static Mapper 1.1, the plist I created with it won't load, I think it only works with 10.5

    Hi Flipwork,
    thanks for a quick update. I have checked and double checked and triple checked. I even removed the names etc. from description fields. They are simply numbers now from 1 to 1820... yea that is how many I have to import. The other fields are simple mac addresses and IP addresses.
    the plist starts to get imported in server admin and then stops at a random number depending on which order I give the csv file to static map importer from which the plist is created.
    I'll be grateful for a hint that might work for me.
    thanks again for your time.

  • Dhcp static maps

    Hi folks,
    I have 10.3.9 server. I would like to achieve following setup:
    a] home users should get 192.168.1.1-30
    b] guests (mainly powerbooks and macbooks) should get 192.168.1.100-130
    the guests are disallowed to connect to server via afp/smb using firewall rule.
    I created a static map in netinfo for home users and it's working correctly. However, I don't have 30 machines (1.1-30) but only 20, so I have gaps in the static maps. I'm trying to fill them using dummy records, but it looks like they are ignored. Is there a way how to do it?
    My dummy records are as follows:
    name=dummy1
    en_address=00:FF:00:FF:00:00:00
    ip_address=192.168.1.17
    name=dummy2
    en_address=00:FF:00:FF:00:00:00
    ip_address=192.168.1.18

    Well, for a start your MAC addresses are invalid. MAC addresses consist of 6 octets, your examples show 7. I don't know if that's an error in copying them to the boards or whether you've really entered them that way, so it might or might not be an issue.
    Also, you can't use the same MAC address twice. How is the DHCP server supposed to know which address to hand out when 00:FF:00:FF:00:00 has both 192.168.1.17 and .18? Again, this might just be a transcoding issue in this post rather than a real problem in your setup, but it's worth checking.
    I don't know that that'll solve your problem but it's the first things I'd look at.
    If you can't find a solution that way, consider reversing the order - put the guest addresses first followed by the private ones. That way guests will get a low-ordered IP address (say, .1-.63) while the home users get a higher address (.64-.96) - note how I've used binary-friendly numbers such as 64 and 96; while it's less obvious to humans it's far easier for the computer, especially in writing firewall rules since 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.63 equates to 192.168.1.0/26, or 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.192 and 192.168.1.64 through 192.168.1.95 equates to 192.168.1.64/27 or 192.168.1.64/255.255.255.224. It isn't possible to write a one-line firewall rule that covers .1 through .30 but it is with the IP address ranges I've used.
