Latest FlexConnect
We have a customer that is seriously considering replacing their current infrastructure at all their remote locations with a FlexConnect solution. Their concern is if with the new FlexConnect, do the APs still have to pass all the data to the controller or is that now done on the remote locations edge, i.e. APs.
All the systems I have worked with previously the control traffic, etc. passed to the controller over the WAN nothing was done at the AP unless the WAN link went down. Just trying to double-check.
Thank you in advance.

I persoanlly recommand to have centrel authentication local swicthing.....
In this state, for the given WLAN, the WLC handles all client authentication, and the H-REAP LAP switches data packets locally. After the client authenticates successfully, the controller sends capwap control commands to the H-REAP and instructs the LAP to switch that given client’s data packets locally. This message is sent per client upon successful authentication. This state is applicable only in connected mode.

FlexConnect, EAP-TLS and dynamic VLAN assignments
I need to integrate Cisco ISE and WLC5508 with FlexConnect (local switching) using EAP-TLS security for wireless clients across multiple floors (dynamic VLAN assignments based on floor level). The AP model used is 3602.
I have some questions:
- What RADIUS Attribute can be used for dynamic VLAN assignments based on floor level? Is there an option where I can group all LWAPs in same floor for getting certain VLAN from ISE?
- I intend to use WLC software version 7.2 since 7.3 is latest version. Has someone use WLC software version 7.3 without any major bugs/issues pertaining to FlexConnect and EAP-TLS?
- I read some documents saying L3 roaminig is where the associated WLC has changed. However if user move to different subnet but still associated to the same WLC, would this be consider as L3 roaming too?
Can someone assist to clear my confusion here? any reference url for layer 2 and layer 3 roaming details is appreciated. ThanksI'll give this a shot:)
For radius vlan attributes, bothe ACS and ISE in the policies have the ability to just enter the vlan id in the profile. You can either do that or use the IETF attributes.
The RADIUS attributes to configure for VLAN assignment are IETF RADIUS attributes 64, 65, and 81, which control VLAN assignment of users and groups. See RFC 2868 for more information.
64 (Tunnel-Type) should be set to VLAN (Integer = 13)
65 (Tunnel-Medium-Type) should be set to 802 (Integer = 6)
81 (Tunnel-Private-Group-ID) should be set to the VLAN number. This can also be set to VLAN name if using a Cisco IOS device (excludes Aironet and Wireless Controllers however).
You can find this by searching on Google.... A lot of examples out there
v7.2 and v7.3 I have had no issues with, with any type of encryption used. With 7.0 and 7.2, I would use the latest due to the Windows 8 fix.
Layer 3 roaming is what's going to happen if the AP's are in local mode. This means that the client will keep their IP address no matter what ap they are connected to and or WLC as long as the mobility group is the same. So a user who boots up in floor 1 will keep its IP address even if he or she roams to the 12th floor and as long as he or she didn't loose wireless connection.
FlexConnect you can do that. The AP's are trunked and need to have the vlans. So what your trying to do will be disruptive to clients. When the roam to another floor ap that is FlexConnect locally switched, they will drop and have to re-associate in order to get a new IP address.
Hope this helps.

Subject: FlexConnect compatibility with Access Point
Subject: FlexConnect compatibility with Access Point
Summary: Hi,
We have today one Cisco 5508 and those access point on remote sites
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1131AG-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1231G-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1142N-E-K9
We plan to use redundancy on the controller and implement Flexconnect on the remote site. What we need to know is if I can implement Flexconnect on all actual access point - I think it is possible on 1142N + 1131G but do not know on 1231AG - is it correct or I'm wrong
We plan to install the latest SW version for 5508 controller.
Thank you
JeanHere is what is supported
Note All features discussed in this chapter apply to indoor (1040, 1140, 1250, 1260, 3500) and outdoor mesh access points (1500 series) unless noted otherwise. Mesh access point or MAP is hereafter used to refer to both indoor and outdoor mesh access points.

Clarification related with Flexconnect solution
Dear Folks,
I have a doubt related with the Cisco Flexconnect scenario . I have a scenario where i need to centralize my wireless to 50 other branches , as the main controllers will be located in DC .
Well , these are the client requirements
1. Every site will have their own data , voice and management vlan (for AP) .
2. DHCP will be local
Now my question is as follows
1. In the main controller, i need to add for every site vlan (ie for 50 sites in total times 3 vlans ) in the controller and in the switch for SVI . ?
2. Is it recommended to have centralized AP management for all 50 sites together , so that i can have one native vlan in the remote site, lets say vlan 100 ( for AP management) . Or is it recommended to have different IP for AP management , in this case, what would be the native vlan, will it be the AP management ?
3. What happens when WAN link is down ? how long can the access point work without WAN connectivity ?
Highly appreciate your kind help and support.
Regards,
SIDHi Siddarth,
Not exactly correct.
In the given scenario, you only required vlan 60,61,62 available to DC WLC. Vlan 99,101,102 are not required in DC-WLC (it is impossible to have those over there if you branch connected via WAN)
In branch switch you only require vlan 99,101,102 & configure AP connected switchport as trunk port while keeping native vlan 99.
Vlan mapping is specific to AP & once you convert an AP to FlexConnect & WLAN configured for FlexConnect local switching, you should be able to do the mapping (wlan to vlan for that AP)
You can refer this post to understand the FlexConnect concept (H-REAP was the previous name for this feature & my sample config is based on WLC 7.0.x code)
http://mrncciew.com/2013/03/12/h-reap-with-radius/

After receiving an error when I try to install the latest update of OS-X, I took my laptop to oour schools IT dept. They tried to run the update in safe mode and then they got an error saying the system could not find the hard drive. Now they want to run a clean install which loses 1000's of docs and pictures. I have Block I exams in med school next Monday and all of my notes and slides are on that hard drive.
The IT dept took the hard drive out and tried to back it up and they said they other computer could not connect or find my hard drive.
Major panic....
I have Norton antivirus and have never found any viruses on the system. I also have a program called ExamSoft which some other students here have noted they had similar crashes. Not sure if that is the issue...Several take home messages here:
always back up before you update.
always back up anything you don't want to lose. Kind of like flossing. Only floss the teeth you don't want to lose.
Norton is very, very bad software, and you should get rid of it.
You don't need antivirus software on your mac. Antivirus software on macs causes more trouble than it is worth.
Your hard drive may be failing and thus may not be salvageable.
You could try booting into the recovery partition and seeing if you can repair your hard drive.
If that doesn't work, then there is a small chance that a third party utility (like Disk Warrior or TechTool) might be able to fix your drive (if it is not failing).
If that doesn't work, you may be able to send your drive and a lot of cash to a drive recovery service and see if they can get your files off it.
In the mean time, get notes and slides from a (smart) friend. -

When I try to open some of my documents, the message "you need a newer version of Pages" appears; yet, I have installed the latest/newest version. How do I clear this up? Thanks.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.
Maybe. See:

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?
I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

I have a brand new HP dv8t laptop that is straight from the manufacturer 2 days ago.
Last night, I attempted to download and installed the latest version of Firefox. After installing, it worked great for an hour or so (3.4 different sessions).
Then, this morning when I came back to the computer, Firefox crashes at startup and gives me the option of finding a solution online or quitting the program.
How aggravating!
I have installed this same version on 2 other computers that I own, without any issue.
I have attempted to uninstall Firefox from the dv8 and reinstalling, to no avail.
I cannot find the crash report, but I do this see this message once the app crashes:

Please help! I cant stand iE anymore and I'm so lost without Firefox!You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side. -
Office 2013 latest update broke new profile creation on all network computers
Hi,
Reporting a bug here!
Setup details:
We're using samba 3 as our backend and all workstation are Windows 7 Pro x64.
Office 2013 Home and Business Retail (en-us) Click 2 Run version
Context:
Deployed to the whole network of one of our client using the Office Deployement Tool.
We update their base update (no updates) to the latest update 15.0.4569.1508
Everything was working alright after initial Office 2013 installation with no updates. After updating the all the PCs to the latest version as of 31/03/2014, the user profile creation broke for newly created user.
Symptoms and causes:
Trying to log on as a new user on the machine would give the following error on Logon before automatically loging off because it cannot copy the following file to the new user profile:
D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_00.sqm
D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm
D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_02.sqm
The Bici folder has Read and Execute permissions for everyone but the _XX.sqm files inside only have permissions (Full Control) for SYSTEM and Administrators and LOCAL SERVICE with the all permissions EXCEPT:
- FULL CONTROL
- TRAVERSE FOLDERS/EXECUTE FILES
- CHANGE PERMISSIONS
- TAKE OWNERSHIP
Solution:
I gave "everyone" Read and Execute permission on those files and the new user could log in and his profile got created alright.
The files with broken permissions time stamp shows they've been modified during the Office 2013 update and Bici seems to be a OneDrive related service. This bug should get fixed ASAP.
Event log error:
Windows cannot copy file \\?\D:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm to location \\?\D:\Users\TEMP\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\_01.sqm. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

HT1444 How can I upgrade my system 10.4 into a newer one or the latest I could get for my machine?
I currently have Mac OS X V. 10.4.11 and there are some things I'm unable to use on my computer, Adobe flash player being one of them, so I figured why not upgrading my software into the latest I could get? However I have no clue how can this be done, or if it can be done?
I'll appreciate any advice. Thank you.OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A

The latest kit kat "improvements" have made using my phone much more frustrating. How can one roll back this operating system update to the previous version? If it is not possible to roll it back, how do I fix the following issues?
1) The battery timing has been greatly diminished.
2) Gmail isn't syncing properly. At least 7 times since the update, upon opening gmail, I see lists of messages that are sometimes over a year old, and not my current ones.
3) The sound slider bar on the open screen has disappeared. It now takes 4 steps in order to get into settings, and temporarily turn off the sound. That is ridiculous when entering a meeting. Not to mention that you have to repeat those steps upon the meeting's end.
4) Searching for a particular contact in people has become more complicated--much easier to select "m" when looking for Mary's info than to have to scroll through the very JITTERY and way too touch sensitive sidebar all the way to the "M's" to even begin to search through the M's. This is way too unwieldy.
5) Emoticon symbol has replaced the symbol to move to the next line in text messaging keyboard. I am not interested in childlike emoticons. I am interested in writing a coherent professional message with appropriate spacing.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.You cannot uninstall Kit Kat from your phone. BTW what kind of phone do you have??
