Help with wireless controller and VLANs

Hi I'm trying to setup a wireless controller in preparation for a large site go live later this year. I'm struggling to get the controller and the WLAN using the correct VLAN. I want the controller on VLAN 100 and the clients on the WLAN on VLAN 200.
My thought is that I would need a config similar to:
Switchport for wireless controller management port set to trunk VLAN 100 and 200 with no native VLAN set.
The management interface on the controller set to VLAN 100.
A dynamic interface created on VLAN 200.
When setup like this I can get to the controller on its management address but only from VLAN100 not from another VLAN on site or from other sites over the WAN.
I have setup a WLAN which is set to use the dynamic interface on VLAN 200.
I have set the AP to use HREAP and set the native VLAN as 200 and added the dynamic interface into the VLAN mappings
When I connecting a client to the WLAN I get an address on VLAN 100.
The switchport for the AP is set to native VLAN 100 and trunk 200 – this setup works for standalone APs at other sites.
What am I missing?
Also any idea why the management interface address is not routing? The netmask and gateway are set correctly.
Thanks
Paul

Just to add to Steve's post... You only need to create a dynamic interface for vlan 200 if you have ap's also in local mode. If your ap's are in H-REAP/FlexConnect mode, you don't need a dynamic interface for vlan 200.
In you H-REAP/FlexConnect ap, you would set the wlan to vlan mapping there and the switchport configuration would be a trunk allowing vlan 100 (im assuming your native vlan for your ap) and vlan 200. You should see something like the following:

Help with Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse please!

Hello. I own the wireless Mighty Mouse as well as the wireless keyboard for Mac, and while ago I set them up to work on my Mac, but I don't use them very much so I want to give them to my parents for their Mac. The thing is, I forgot how to set it up or install it or whatever. Can anyone tell me how to get the wireless mouse and keyboard to work, or what the install process is for them? Was there a CD that came with them that I need to install drivers with or something? Anyways, I have the mouse and keyboard sitting up here next to this computer, and I've turned them on with the switches on the back, but they're not working. What do I do next? Thank you!
-- Andrew

Solution
Turn your Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse off for 30 seconds, then back on.
If the keyboard or mouse doesn't respond, or if an alert message appears again:
Connect a USB keyboard or mouse.
Open Bluetooth preferences (choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, then click Bluetooth).
Verify that Bluetooth is turned on. (You can also do this with the Bluetooth menu bar item, if enabled).
Pair the keyboard or mouse by setting it up as a new device.

Help with wireless router and usb adapter

I have a model WRT54G2V1 and a USB adapter. They were working fine until about 3 months ago, then suddenly I couldn't connect to the internet. I began using my wife's computer for my email. I have a web site that I need to update. I spent 2-hours with Tech support today and they could not help me. The error messages say "cannot find access point" and then sometimes "cannot connect to internet". I think it may be my computer, but am very unsure. I have unistalled and reinstalled with no luck. Can anyone help me, please? I'm lost and not good with this stuff. Thanks.

In your computer click on "start" then "connect to" then "show all connections". You should be seeing two icons under "lan or high speed internet" Your wireless connection should showing a blue screen while the lan should be greyed out. If the lan is showing a blue screen right click on it and click on disable. Now try to connect using your wireless adaptor. If it did not work go to #2.
Disconnect wireless adaptor then go into programs and uninstall wireless adaptor program. Reconnect wireless adaptor to computer. The "found new hardware" should appear. Run the wizard and when it asks for drivers insert Linksys cd. Try to connect. You may have to click on repair if you don't succeed then try again. Go to #3
Powercycle your router. Try to connect. I have three computers connected wirelessly and the one farthest away from the router has problems connecting. Usually this solves the problem.

Mac mini setup with wireless mouse and keyboard

Bought a new mini with wireless keyboard and mouse. Turns on, picks up the mouse and as soon as the registration setup window starts the connection is lost. It never picked up the keyboard. Apple support said it is not possible to set up a new mini with the wireless accessories so go buy wired ones. Is this really true? Is there a way to skip the registration window, install the wireless keyboard and mouse? Has anyone else had this problem?
If what the phone support guy said is true then I am a very unhappy new Mac purchaser. Nowhere on the Mac mini site or even in the instruction booklet does it say that you have to have the wired accessories and now apparently I'll have to buy two of everything. Total garbage.

Can you beg/borrow or steal any ("Windows") USB keyboard and mouse? They should get you going. You'll only need them for a few minutes when starting up, once.
"Garbage" doesn't endear yourself when asking for help on an Apple board though!

Initial set up with wireless keyboard and mouse!!

My gods, I set up a mac mini with wireless keyboard and mouse. It stead fastly refused to find the brand new apple wireless mouse. I had to plug a wacom in, in the end to get anywhere. Then it would not find the keyboard, again apple wireless. It did find the keyboard but when it started the pairing just came up with no keyboards were found.
I struggled in the end and after around 10 minutes blagged the keyboard, I don't know how it just suddenly worked.
Thinking about this I had the self same problem on a wireless keyboard and mouse for an iMac as well I installed for a friend, it took ages and ages for the computer to discover the two apple devices.
Am I just unlucky or is there voodoo involved? Luckily I am a seasoned apple user so got there in the end, but if I were a switcher and the very first experience of my new mac was it could not find its own mouse, I would not be impressed.

I've been using the Apple wireless mouse and keyboard with my Mac mini for about a year.
I've noticed that whenever the batteries for the two devices are running very low, they may not be recognize by the mini. Other than that, they are fine.

Problems between a Wireless Controller and a Switch.

I have a Wireless Controller 4402 connected to one sw2960G.
I configured the controller with LAG and the switch (sw2960G) with etherchanel.
I connected the controller 2 distribution ports to the 2 ports of the switch (configured with etherchanel).
It worked like it should work.
But the problem is like this: if I take one cable that is connected to the switch and unplugged that cable from the switch (if that cable is the one connected to controllers port one) I have connectivity between both machines.
If I plug in the switch the cable connected to controller port one and take the other cable and unplugged that cable from the switch I stop the connectivity between the two machines.
I think that was not supposed to happenâ¦ because the LAG in the controller should put every AP in the second controller's port, and the connectivity between the machines should not end.
Can any one help me?
Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Rui

With LAG enabled in the controller I think I can have only one ap-manager interface.
The LAG will (it is supposed to) do the load balance automatically.
I mean, if one of the interfaces is âdownâ the other will have to coupe with all the AP's.
I should have always connection between the controller and the switch.
The STP of the controller is configured by default (STP Mode = OFF).
In the case of etherchannel load balanceâ¦ I saw the Cisco documentation and I did not saw any thing about that. I think that The LAG as to do that for the controllerâ¦ I'm right about that?
I will see the link that you advisedâ¦
Can you help me?
Thanks,
Rui

Question about Wireless Controller and LAG.

I have a Wireless Controller 4400.
When I configure the controller with LAG, I have to connect the controller to a L3 switch?
If I connect the controller to a L2 switch the LAG works?
Some one can tell me something about this?
Thanks in advance,
Rui

Copper? so you are using rj-45 Gb SFPs on the controller. If that is the case, what is the speed of the switchports on the 2960?
I use the rj-45 Gb SFPs on our 4402s and they work fine connected to Gb rj-45 ports on the switches.
Also, check out the following:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/4.2/configuration/guide/c42mint.html#wp1116136
"Using the CLI to Verify Link Aggregation Settings
To verify your LAG settings, enter this command:
show lag summary
Information similar to the following appears:
LAG Enabled
Configuring Neighbor Devices to Support LAG
The controller's neighbor devices must also be properly configured to support LAG.
â¢Each neighbor port to which the controller is connected should be configured as follows:
interface GigabitEthernet
switchport
channel-group mode on
no shutdown
â¢The port channel on the neighbor switch should be configured as follows:
interface port-channel
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan
switchport trunk allowed vlan
switchport mode trunk
no shutdown

Doubt with Dynamic Interfaces and VLANs

Hello.
I am trying to get wirelles clientes and APs to be on the same VLAN/subnet, now is working with management interface on my WLC 5508. My problem comes up when I change them to a new dynamic interface.
Before any change:
VLAN: 8
Management Interface IP: 192.168.9.2/23
Gateway: 192.168.8.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.8.2
WLAN SSID linked to Managment interface: Ray123
APs on VLAN 8 and subnet static IP range192.168.9.0/23
There is no dynamic interface.
After changes.
VLAN: 0
Management Interface: 192.168.6.2/23
Gateway: 192.168.6.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.6.2
Dynamic interface name: Wireless-1
VLAN: 8
Management Interface IP: 192.168.9.2/23
Gateway: 192.168.8.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.8.2
WLAN SSID linked to Dynamic interface: Ray123
APs still on VLAN 8 and subnet static IP range192.168.9.0/23
After all this done i can see by cdp neighbors all my APs i can ping them and management interface too, but APs are not registered, no clients too.
According to this guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00805e7a24.shtml
Dynamic interfaces and APs should be on the same VLAN.
But this another guide states the opposite:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.0/configuration/guide/c70mint.html
"Set the APs in a VLAN that is different from the dynamic interface configured on the Controller. If the APs are in the same VLAN as the dynamic interface, the APs are not registered on the Controller and the 'LWAPP discovery rejected' and 'Layer 3 discovery request not received on management VLAN' errors are logged on the Controller"
I cant understand why VLANs for APs and dynamic interfaces should be on different, it has no sense to configure a vlan intended for APs which shouldnt be on the same vlan.
Please tell me what is wrong.
Thanks in advance.

You have to tell the APs where the WLC lives now, 192.168.6.2.
You can do this in the following ways:
Manual Prime the APs
option 43
dns
ip forward udp 5246
move the aps to the same vlan as the management interface let them join and then chnage the vlan

Fujitzu/Siemens v8210 laptops bluescreen with Wireless Controller 4.2.61.0

I have noticed a problem with Wireless LAN Controller version 4.2.61.0. This version causes a blue screen with Fujitzu Siemens v8210 laptops with driver atheros ar5006eg driver version 4.1.2.111 sia installed.
Other make and model of laptops work fine with the controller such as Dell and IBM etc.
The atheros manufacturers website has a later driver than the fujitsu website which clears the fault, once you install the new driver on the laptop.
Has anyone else had this problem and would you reccomend to downgrade the Wireless LAN controller to a previous firmware release, as the bug toolkit and caveats for the controller release did not highlight this problem?

Hi Carl,
Your LAPs joins the wrong WLC even when you've configured the primary/secondary controllers name OR IP address and you are using v4.2.61.0. Is this correct?
If so, then it's a well-known bug of the v4.x. Unfortunately, the workaround is CLI. It's unfortunate because you have to type the command on the WLC and specify the LAP.
The command is: config ap controller primary
This bug has been fixed on the 5.X and 6.X firmware.
Hope this helps.

Need help with Airport Express and so on.

Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.
