Office Extend Mode

I have got a 3502 setup anf functioing in Office Extend mode. I have found one issue though. I have to set the checkbox on the my Management Interface to Enable NAT Address and put the external address in the box. Once this occurs no internal APs can join the controller.
Does anyone have any ideas on setting this up with a single controller behind a router and not having to set the NAT Address for the Management interface? Should I setup a second interface on the controller to be for external management?

Ok, well no worries. As Steve pointed out there is/was a NAT issue on earlier code. I think it was fixed in M1. but again, if you give the WLC an outside address and protect it with ACLs from the outside and allow your internal folks to hit it from the inside you should be ok. But again, I dont know how your network is designed or your specific design requirements. Please take these as suggestions as they may apply.
Perhaps Steve can add to this as well...

Office extend option not seen under flexconnect

I have a 2602i , registered on a virtual controller with 7.6.130.0, running in flexconnect mode, but I dont see office extend option under flexconnect, any comments ???

well I could not find an evaluation dtls lic for virtual controller, so I installed a 7500 controller dtls lic and it shows in use and data encryption is enable on AP, still i don't see office extend option.
I am not sure its because I am using a 7500 dtls licence.

Express in Extend mode does not improve signal

I configured a Time machine yesterday and had a low connection in my office 2 floors up. I had also bought an Express to extend the range.
Having had some setup issues, Apple Support talked me through it and I have a green light on the Express.
The express is now less than 2 metres from an XP laptop which has connected to the network but the signal strenght is showing as low.
Any suggestions on checking this connection rate / solutions?

Thanks so much for all your replies. I will try to address all the points in this reply.
99, I think you are right, about Apple not supporting using the Ethernet WAN port as a LAN port when the AXp is in the "Extend" mode. However, I had read on the Apple website that it does support using the AXp WAN as a LAN in the WDS "Remote" mode, as you have verified with your older AXp, and which I had also verified with my new AXp. The only problem was, when using the AXp in the WDS "Remote" mode, the AXp ran ONLY at 54 Mbps, even when there were no additional wireless clients connected to it or to the AXt, which kind of defeated the purpose of using the AXp as an Ethernet bridge in the first place.
The only way I could get an AXp bridge to run at 130 Mbps was to use it in the "Extend" mode or the "Join" mode. In the "Join" mode, using the WAN as a LAN works fine when connecting to the Internet, but I am not able to see or screen share with any of the computers on my local network. In the "Extend" mode, I am able to see and screen share with all the computers on my local network, but I am not able to get to the Internet, even though the Network Diagnostic tool reports that my Internet connection "appears" to be working properly, and it gives me all green lights (and as near as I can tell with my limited knowledge of DNS, all that information appears correct, as well).
Bottom line, I don't think Apple has properly enabled the AXp's WAN as a LAN in the "Extend" mode, as they have in the "Join" mode and in the slower WDS "Remote" mode.

Office extend 1142 and dtls keepalive failure

Hi
I am setting up office extend with 1142 APs on a 5508 controller. All seems ok and I see my SSIDs on the remote AP. However when I try to connect I don't get a dhcp address and the connection fails. When I look at logs and some debugs I see dtls keepalive failures and the AP is actually disconnecting and re-associating with the controller.
As a troubleshooting step I decided to disable Data encryption through the AP advanced tab and after the AP resets all is now working.
Would anyone have an idea why data encryption would cause the issue ? I have opened the standard 5246 and 5247 UDP ports on my firewall. Have I missed out some other port that may need opened ?
Many thanks, St.

Scott
The AP is changed from Local mode to H-REAP mode.
In the H-REAP tab we have Enable Office Extend ticked.
In the Advanced tab to get this to work the Data Encryption box is unticked and the text below says Current Dta Encryption Status is plain text. I can't think of any other settings related to office extend other than the NAT stuff on the management interface and allowing 5246 and 5247 through the firewall.
So if these settings are being correctly reported the question is why do I then see Data and ctrl being encrypted when I do "Show dtls connections" If I have unticked Data encryption I expect to see only ctrl connections being encrypted.
I can't see any other config issue that would allow dhcp and a connection to work with Data encryption disabled and cause it to fail with Data encryption enabled.
The AP always joins the controller no matter what the Data encryption setting is. However with it unticked the AP retains its connection to the controller and I can get an IP and pass data normally. With the data encryption box ticked the AP joins the controller then soon afterwards drops off reporting a DTLS keepalive issue. No IP address and no data passed. In fact with data encryption ticked I see a message of the form "DTLS plumbed in" or something similar. Then soon after I get the keepalive error and the AP drops off.
Thanks, St.

Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

Why doesn't Photoshop CS6 boot into Extended Mode? My GPU is Supported!

Ok got a new laptop, quad core and went to install the trial of Photoshop CS6 Extended and it will not boot into extended mode but rather the original Photoshop mode, and I know this by the splash screen with the circles and the fact there is no 3D menu. A friend did the same on his laptop (different hardware) and his booted into Photoshop CS6 Extended. We used the same Adobe Download Assistant to do our installs. My GPU is the ATI Radeon 6520G and it has support for both Open GL & Open CL. It appears in the Performance preferences with GPU checked and Open CL is selectable in advanced. Now my question is why can't I get into Extended Mode? Why can't we just force it to do so? I have seen this issue all over the place and it seems to be related mostly to ATI/AMD chipsets. Any help is appreciated, I would like to try out the 3D options.
I even tried installing the latest ATI Radeon drivers which are beta 2.7, same issue.
Thanks,
Michael

Did you download the trial version of the software directly from Adobe.com?
What Chris is trying to say is that there's no known reason why the legitimate trial version from Adobe shouldn't enable the 3D features on a system that supports GPU operations, as you've said yours does:

Extended mode with MacbookPro using Dual Screen Wallpaper

Hello, guy's,
I already have a Macbook Pro 13" connected on ACD24".
I use the both of monitors in extended mode.
That i want to ask you is the seguent..
Can i use one dual wallpaper?
I mean that i want

-- For others who stumble upon this like I did --
**In the code, for more than two monitors, switch statements might be cleaner
If you don't want to install another application, you can apparently with beautiful/gears:
-- {{{ Wallpaper
if beautiful.wallpaper then
for s = 1, screen.count() do
--gears.wallpaper.maximized(beautiful.wallpaper, s, true)
if s < 2 then
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_one", s, true)
else
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_two", s, true)
end

Can't access Internet via Ethernet port of 'n' Express in 'Extend' mode

I just purchased the new Airport Express (AXp) n version for the purpose of extending my Airport Extreme (AXt) n version wireless network so that I can connect my old MacBook Pro (MBP) 17" core duo, running Mac OS X 10.5.2, to the AXp via an Ethernet cable when the MBP is stationary at my desk, in order to increase the maximum speed at which I am able to access the internet, from 54 Mbps for my MBP's internal wireless g card to 130 Mbps at which the AXp runs in the following configuration.
On the AXt, I set the wireless mode to create a wireless network, checked off the option to allow this network to be extended, set the radio mode to n (b/g compatible), set the channel to 11 (works best for our house), and set the wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal. On the AXp, I set the wireless mode to extend a wireless network, unchecked the option to allow wireless clients (I have also tried this option checked, as well), and set the wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal. Both Airport bases are running firmware version 7.3.1.
When I do this everything looks fine. My network preferences indicate that I have a valid IP address, and I am able to see and screen share with other computers on the local network; however, when I try to access the internet using Safari 3.1, I get a timeout error message indicating that the server I addressed is not responding. Then when I run the diagnostics from the network preferences, it indicates that my internet connection appears to be working correctly, and all the network status lights show green.
Any ideas?

G4 PB lost primary display with Sharp PG-B10S projector on extended mode

About a week ago, for no apparent reason, when I plug into my projector in dual screen mode (through the DVI VGA adaptor), my primary screen switches to the projector and the secondary (extended) screen pops up on the internal pb lcd display.
Whatever signal is being sent to the projector in that moment is registered as "not reg." (not regular? not registering?) by the projector. When I switch back to "mirroring", it recognizes the projector, and pops the mirrored display image up onto the wall in short order. When I drop into no mirroring again, it goes back to the same problem.
You might think I could just arrange the screens on the arrangement tab in display prefences. Well, as the primary screen (in extended mode) is the default screen where the display prefences (complete with "arrangement" tab) pops up, and as it is at that moment "not reg." on the projector, I have NO WAY of accessing that dialog box (yes, I even tried some "lucky grabs" to see what I might "fish" off the invisible primary desktop. I nabbed several icons and brought them "home" to my internal display, but no luck on grabbing the display preferences dialog box header.
When I am in "mirror on" mode, the arrangement tab, as you already know, does not give you the option to change.
Tried a second monitor coming off the vga out from the projector, and it also gives me a not reg. when in extended mode.
Tried S-Video out to projector, and it keeps PB internal display as primary display. Tried second monitor direct DVI and through the DVI VGA adaptor, and it also works fine. After getting it working fine on the external monitor, I can then "switch in" the projector and it works properly, convinced the projector is the second monitor. Reboot or close the lid, however, and the computer seems to say, "Oh, you again, eh?" and then goes into conflict.
Are there any keyboard shortcuts or drop down menu options for making the change in some other way than the gui way?

Redundant guest anchor/office extend 5508 controllers

Hello,
We are looking to deploy 2 guest anchor/office extend 250 AP 5508 Controllers.
The first 5508 would be primary for both public wireless and office extend AP's. The second 5508 would not be used unless the first controller fails.
What is best practice when it comes to the certificate for public wireless. Should I create single certificate for both controllers or have two different certificates?
Thanks

This makes sense. What would I need to do so that the networks don't overlap on both controllers for guest? Would I need to make new networks on the secondary controller:

Play Quicktime file on extended mode with 2 monitors using fullscreen

I have content that plays in QuickTime that was designed to run on 2 displays using extended mode. Whenever I full screen it defaults to only using one of the displays.

Here, this might help you. I was having problems copying to my Lacie external hard drive, too. I contacted Lacie and this was the response I received - which I followed and have now been able to move all my imovie, idvd, quicktime, etc. files to the Lacie:
The default formatting on these drives is FAT32, compatible with both Mac and PC. However, FAT32 has some limitations-it will not hold any single file larger than 4GB and it does not like filenames with any other characters other than A-Z, a-z, 0-9, periods and underscores. Mac
OS 10.1.x and 10.2.x will not mount large FAT32 volumes.
The Mac Extended format does not have any of these limitations as it is the Mac-native format. If you will not be sharing this drive with a PC at all, reinitialize the drive as follows. You will need to copy off
any data you need temporarily as this will erase the drive.
OS X - Initializing with Disk Utility (will erase the drive)
1. Open the Disk Utility found the Utilities folder.
2. On the left, select the drive (not the volume below it).
3. On the right, select the Partition tab.
4. Under Volume Scheme, set it to the number of partitions desired(usually Mac OS Extended).
5. Set the format you desire.
6. It is not necessary to check the OS 9 Drivers check box.
7. Once you have the drive set up how you desire, click on the Partition button in the lower right.
8. It should only take a few moments to complete, and when done, the drive will mount on the desktop.

Office Extend

I have a question about Office Extend solution.
Is there a limit on how many users can use office extend?
I know that the Aironet 600 AP only supports 15 connections.
However, office extend is supported on other APs. (3600 series for example).
If I use Office Extend with 3600 AP am I able to have 50 connections?

Here is the config guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11579/products_tech_note09186a0080b7f10e.shtml
The "yellow" port is for LAN side connectivity. The traffic sent across this specific port will be encapsulated in CAPWAP and be sent back to the controller. You will need to configure LAN configuration on the WLC for this port to work. This is also a very important topic. Your WLANs will be secured with PSK or EAP. However, this port is not, so you might want to use WEB AUTH with 802.1X or something to secure that port. Just in case the AP ever gets stolen someone cant just plug into port 4 and gain access.
If you find any of this helpful please support the rateing system! Thanks again!

Office Extend Question(s)

I have a couple of questions surrounding the Office Extend 600 series access points.
Currently we have 2- WLC5508s.
1) In the Deployment guide it mentions turning off Aironet IE and Coverage Hole Detection. Is this required, or just highly recommended? What types of issues are we expected to encounter if we have Aironet IE and Coverage Hold Detection enabled with Office Extend AP's?
2) In a Primary, Secondary configuration of WLC controllers, I would need to setup another NAT configuration for the second controller int he event of a failover correct? Any alternatives?

Ok so I understand your oe will connect to inside controllers not a DMZ controller. Thats fine .. Here is another way to skin this cat ..
You can create the same ssid as production but name it differently under the profile name. So you can have the same WLAN ssid name.
Under the new WLAN number it above 16, same 100. Configure this one as spec'd in the oe manual.
Then create an ap group for your oe aps and include WLAN 100 in the group.
This way you can have the same ssid, different configs. Since the WLAN is above 16 they don't get broadcasted out unless you put the aps in the group.
Make sense ?
