How do I configure the 2504 Wireless controller with AP?

I recently purchase the 2504 wireless controller and the 1602i AP. I was able to do the basic setup of the controller and can now access the web interface, but the AP is not being detected and I am unable to add it.

First of all: 1602 AP need minimum software version on WLC: 7.4.100.0
paste this info:
sh sysinfo from WLC
sh version from AP.
Did you create a DHCP pool for APs to get IP ?
Try to to be keep AP and WLC on same subnet.

2504 Wireless Controller with multiple IP Networks

I am wanting to deploy a 2504 with 8 AP's that can support three IP networks simultaneously, 10.130.0.0, 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.10 (Guest Network). I understand this is supported, but haven't really seen any examples of how to accomplish this. Any suggestions?

Jerryard1,
Just a followup on what I was able to do.
I have the 10.130.0.0 network on the management interface, port 1 with dynamic AP management enabled. I then created a dynamic interface for the 192.168.1.0 network and have that on port 3, with dynamic AP disabled, both ports are untagged for VLAN's.
I then created a WLAN for each, but pointed the WLAN for 192.168.1.0 to the dynamic interface I created. The WLAN for 10.130.0.0 is pointed to the management interface. All AP's come up on the 10.130.0.0 network. Physical ports 1 and 3 on the 2504 are connected to it's respective switch stack.
I then enabled routing on their Sonicwall firewall to route between the two networks, all seems to work fine.

How do you use the same wireless keyboard with multiple devices?

My apologies in advance if this question has been answered previously. There was nothing in the owner's manual (for the keyboard) that answered this. I did do a rough search that did not yield an answer to this:
I have one wireless keyboard I am using with my Macbook Pro. I understand this keyboard can also be used as an input device for my Apple TV and my iPhone - both of which I currently own.
And although I am able to use the keyboard with those devices, I am forced to "forget this device" after having used it on either the Apple TV or my iPhone so that I can use it on my MacBook Pro. Is there any combination of keys that one can press on the keyboard that would cycle through my three devices? As it is right now, if I don't "forget the device" on my secondary units, it somehow defaults to a peripheral OTHER than my MacBook Pro and I'd like for it to always default to my computer.
Thank you for any information/advice.

Manually add Access Point to 2504 Wireless Controller

We have a 2504 Wireless Controller and it works great!
We currently have 6 Access Points (Aironet 1252) connected.
We just added the sixth one a few weeks ago and with a properly configured and fully functioning Wireless Controller, it was super easy.
Now, I have been assigned to add another Access Point, but at a remote site.
The plan is to have up to three or more APs at this remote location and we want them to talk back to the Wireless Controller.
We have plenty of licences on our current Wireless Controller.
Do do not want to spend the funds for another Wireless Controller and more licenses.
1. How does one manually add a Aironet 1252 to the 2504 Wireless Controller
2. If the AP is on a different subnet than the Wireless Controller, how does one get it registered?
3. The best for last: Can a Aironet 1252 talk to a 2504 Wireless Controller over a WAN link?
If so, how?
Thank you!
Bryan Smith

Question about 2504 Wireless Controller

Hello,
I am tasked with configuring a 2504 wireless controller. Is it possible to assign an SSID to an interface that has dynamic ap management enabled?
Scenario:
Location1:
1) 10.0.0.0/24
2)192.168.0.0/24 DMZ
Location 2:
1) 10.0.5.0
Both locations are routable using network 1 at each location. However, I need to configure several access points and send them to location 2. These access points will communicate with the controller at location 1 on network 1. Two SSIDs will need to be on network 1 at location 1. The other SSID will be on Network 2 at location 1. This network is not routable.
Thank You for your help.

So this is how you want this to be setup:
Scenario:
Location1:
1) 10.0.0.0/24
2)192.168.0.0/24 DMZ
Location 2:
1) 10.0.5.0
Both locations are routable using network 1 at each location. However, I need to configure several access points and send them to location 2. These access points will communicate with the controller at location 1 on network 1. Two SSIDs will need to be on network 1 at location 1. The other SSID will be on Network 2 at location 1. This network is not routable.
Since location 1 is a flat network with only one subnet (internal) and one in the DMZ, you will configure WLC management/ap-manger port 1 on the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet. You can then map your SSID#1 to the management interface. Create a new dynaminc interface on the WLC and assign it an ip in the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet and place that on port 2. Connect port 2 to the DMZ. Now since you want everything to tunnel back to the WLC from location 2, you would leave the ap's in local mode. Devices in location 2 associating on SSID #1 will obtain an ip address in location 1 and tunnel back to the WLC and traffic will egress out of port 1. Devices that associate in location 1 or location 2 to SSID#2 (Guest) will tunnel back to the WLC in location 1 and traffic will egress out of port 2.
Since you want to tunnel traffic back to the WLC from location 2, you need to make sure your link has enough bandwidth or else the ap's will be bouncing.
If you setup the AP's in location 2 in h-reap mode, then you can place devices that associate to SSID #1 on the 10.0.50.0 subnet. Devices that associate to SSID #2 at location 2 will tunnel back to the WLC and egress out of port 2.

3702e AP and 2504 wireless controller

Hey,
If I want to deploy a number of 3702e AP which support 802.11ac am I ok to use the 2504 wireless controller?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I agree with Rasika's post about the minimum software you'll need, however, you say you want to deploy 3702e. What is the antenna you're going to be using and how will the antennas be deployed.
Remember that you'll find some distinct limitation when you want to employ 802.11ac nowadays. Your first quest is to find clients which can FULLY support 802.11ac. Don't look at the ads. I mean there are some smartphones and tablets who claim to suppport 802.11ac but if you look closely at the product specifications there is only ONE wireless antenna.
Your next hurdle will be your network. Understand what bandwidth a single 802.11ac can push thorugh the ethernet cable. Next multiply that by, say, three (three wireless clients associated to three different APs and all three running 802.11ac). Now let's say all three APs are connected to ONE switch.

Does the 2504 Wireless Controller support cad or jpg drawings? I have not been able to find in any of the menus.

No... WCS/NCS/PI does that feature.

How to change IP adress of wireless controller 2504 . from GUI

how to change IP adress of wireless controller 2504 . from GUI

In the existing setup, does WLC management & APs are on the same vlan ? If that is the case you may have not configured any of the below, as AP L3 broadcast reach WLC & in that way AP will learn about WLC.
If WLC & APs are on different vlan you may already use one of WLC discovery method listed below.
1. DHCP Option 43
2. DNS
3. UDP broadcast forwarding
4. Static configuration
When you change the WLC management IP address, AP need to know what is the new IP & you can modify the configuration of the method you used.

2504 wireless controller

They gave us a configured 2504 wireless controller to reconfigure. I was able to login via the console and issue "show run-config" and I got the IP address for the management. I connected an ethernet cable to laptop and gave it an IP in the same subnet but unable to ping it or access the controller via http or https. I have also attempted via ssh and no luck. Any idea how I can access the controller to be able to tftp a file from it.

Well you are able to access the wlc from the console which is a good thing. The issue might be the vlan assigned to that management interface. It might be tagged or it might be configured as a vlan id of '0' which is untagged. You need your switchport setup correctly in order to manage the wlc.

WAP321 & Aironet 2602e & 2504 Wireless Controller?

Hello,
I am new to Cisco networking. I am currently in an environment with no Wireless Controller and the wifi uses two Cisco WAP321's. The company wants to expand the wireless and has bought a Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller and a Cisco Aironet 2602e Controller-based WAP. My question is once we start using the controller can it control the formerly controller-less WAP321's or will that have to be replaced with another Cisco Aironet 2602e? Thank you.

My question is once we start using the controller can it control the formerly controller-less WAP321's
WLC 2504 will not support AP321s. Talk to your authorized Cisco reseller and see if they will accept if you trade-in the AP321 for the AP 2602.
Make sure your AP 2602 have the correct regulatory domain. If you are un-sure DO NOT open the boxes.
For more information, go here:

Another thing, for AP 2600, your 2504 should have the minimum firmware of 7.2.110.X. IF you don't have it, then talk to the authorized Cisco reseller who sold you the controller and kindly ask them (nicely) if they could download the correct firmware for you.

Anybody know a reseller that would download/sell a firmeware for 2504 wireless controller or what service to buy to be able to get it?

Be aware that you do not need to purchase SmartNET for your APs.
Thanks for the ratings, Marek.
Be aware that nearly all 802.11n APs (some exclusion to AP1250) are covered under the new Cisco Limited Lifetime Warranty. Read through the link provided. This is why I posted that you do not need maintenance contract for the APs. The main thing to understand is that if you need to RMA your AP, it'll take 10-business days for the replacement part to be sent.
I have spoken to some Cisco Authorized Reseller and some Cisco TAC engineers who insist that the Cisco LLW don't exist or doesn't apply to BLAH model. Don't be fooled.

Newbie 2504 Wireless Controller Software Connection

Hi Everyone,
I've just placed an order for a 2504 Wireless controller and access point. My supplier has asked what software load I require? Can someone explain to me what the options are? Is he just talking about licensing or is it something else?
Thanks for your help.

Is he asking what software Version?
Most people who have an existing Cisco Wireless infrastructure have a specific version of code running (not neccessarily the latest) so when ordering additional controllers they might be given the option of what code to run (6.0 vs 7.0 for example).
If they are asking you what software version, I'd just have them put the latest 7.0 on it (7.0.220.0).
Or are you buying the AP 3600? If you are buying the AP 3600, you must go with the 7.1 code.

How do I configure the Airport utility to allow more than one rule per port?

How do I configure the Airport Utility (AU) to allow more than one rule per port?
I am on a home network, with broadband cable modem. I have my airport extreme connected to the broadband modem. I have 2 servers in my home that need to be accessed remotely from time (SSH), and they also serve data for an iphone app, so I'm using a variety of protocols. The problem I'm running into is that AU seems to only allow one rule per protocol, so if I go to add another address for access on a specific port that is being used by one of my servers, AU tells me "The Port Mapping Entry Already Exists".
I need to be able to allow SSH on both of my servers, for instance. Am I missing something? Is this doable with AU?
Thanks for any insight.
Khalid

The Port Mapping "rules" on the AirPorts will allow you to: 1. Map a single port to a single IP address OR 2) Map multiple ports to a single IP address.
What you won't be able to do is map a single or multiple ports to multiple IP addresses.
