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 ?

  • 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 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Will the 4404 Controller support Office Extend

    According to the The Software release bulletin
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps6302/ps8322/ps10315/product_bulletin_c25-530367_ps10315_Products_Bulletin.html
    We just purchased a 4404 controller. The document above states 4404 controllers have the capability to be upgraded to the new 6.0 software which supports Office extend. Does anyone have any idea whether it will be possible to purchase a wplus (wireless plus) license to enable office extend on a 4404 controller?
    Thanks

    Regarding Office Extend is a new "feature" with the new 5508 controller running the new IOS, 6.X and Office Extend license. No one as yet knows if the Office Extend feature will be extended to the WLC200/2100, 4400 or the WiSM. I am suspecting that because Office Extend is a license feature, I have no doubt that this will be exclusive to the 5508.
    Because the 5508 can AP support license can support 25, 50, 100 and 250, anticipate the End-Of-Sale announcement of the WLC 2100 and the WLC 4400.

  • Office Extend printers have issues with pullprint.

    Office Extend printers have issues with pullprint. 
    This only happens when using Office Extend. Some office locations have been connected using Office Extend and then moved over to subscriber line which fixes the issues. printer is connected to port 4 of  OEAP 600. Please suggest 
    Manish

    when the error occurs, the office temp files are owned by someone with the same uid, so office says the documents are in use even though they're not.
    do your users login with network or portable homes? if so, they should all have unique uids/gids.
    if they're logging in locally, then mounting afp shares with unique ids, that won't cut it.
    the most efficient way to avoid this is to have your users login with network or portable homes. this may not make sense for your environment, however.
    the other option is to change users' local uids, as outlined in the mvps article linked above. use dscl instead of nicl to do this.

  • Small office network questions

    I have a small office with 4-5 mac computers. I have a Mac mini set up as a file server and I use a standard cable connection for my internet service. I use a wired router (ethernet cables) all going to a netgear switch.
    Just bought a mac mini and a drobo storage device. I have successfully set up the drobo on the mac mini and I can "see" the files and read & write to the external drive. I also have a few other people in the office -- which will need access to the drobo via the network, but have a few questions there:
    1. I don't see the name of the other computers that can connect to the unit. When I get on one of the other machines and look for the drobo I can find it & edit files but from the mac-mini side, I can't see the proper name of the other computer. How do I do this?
    2. Can I limit which folders are accessible within the drobo that attached to the mac mini
    3. Am I missing anything from a safety standpoint? Can Anyone come into my office and access the files that are on the mac/mini drobo? Worse off, is the mac mini vulnerable to the outside world with this setup?
    Thanks for the help, new to all this networking stuff.

    It's been a week, so i don't know if you have already worked this out, but...
    while I am not familiar with your router, when I have used linksys before, i find it better to use static IP addresses for everything.  Try setting static IP addresses and make sure everyone's mask is 255.255.255.0.  Some routers also have a flag to allow computers to see each other.
    Best of luck.

  • Open Office Startup Question

    Hi All -
    I recently bought a new MacBook. My first Mac, so I am on these forums a lot asking questions that to long-time users likely seem silly. Thanks in advance for your assistance and patience.
    When I start Open Office I see in my Doc an application called X11 start. I understand this is some sort of Windows Translator (?) or something. It opens up a small text window with "bash-3.2$" in it.
    That box will 'hang' for a while. Then I get a small box saying "Command Timed Out."
    I click OK, then I can see the Java start (again in the dock) and Open Office will start.
    What is happening here? Can I get around this, or is this the (small) price I will have to pay to use Open Office on the Mac?
    Insight / Suggestions appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    Open Office for Mac uses X11.
    X11 is a framework for building Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and has its origin in the Unix world.
    Right now it is indeed the price to paid when using Open Office.
    As an alternative you can use NeoOffice http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which is based on the Open Office sources, but doesn't need X11.

    Stefan

  • Office '04 question

    Hi, I am new to Leopard and just switched over from XP so bear with me. I downloaded Office '04 off my college website(the download for '08 is not availible) but all my professors use Office '07. My question is: is there something that can be downloaded that will allow me to open '07 files in '04(that doesn't require me getting '08). I have tried looking for it but my I fail at the internet. Thanks in advance

    You can download the "Microsoft Office Open XML File Format Converter for Mac" beta from

  • Fabric Extender question to a dual-homed N5k

    According to latest release notes:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/release/notes/Rel_4_2_1_N1_1/Nexus5000_Release_Notes_4_2_1_N1_1.html#wp144071
    "Support for a maximum of 12 Fabric Extenders dual-homed to a vPC Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch pair and a maximum of 576 hosts connected to Fabric Extenders connected to Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches"
    I have mixed mode so some of the FEX will only connect to one N5k despite the 2N5k will be vpc. Cisco calls this "Fabric extender straight-through topology". This is because I am running port-channel with VM on these particular FEX.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9670/C07-572829-00_Design_N5K_N2K_vPC_DG.pdf
    question is:
    1. Can I assume 2148 is included per release notes?
    2. Can I have more than 2 ports in the portchannels in straight-through mode?
    3. Release notes show 576 host which is (12 max times 48 ports). I assume I can have more logical host meaning vm host via the port channels, right...?
    Thx

    Any Nexus 5000 can have a total of 12 FEX's connected to it physically.  If you have 12 FEX's in dual-homed mode, then that is the limit for both Nexus 5000's.  If you had 24 FEX's evenly distributed between the Nexus 5000's in straight-through mode, then that would be maximum in that configuration.  If you are mixing straight-through and dual-homed configurations, you would have to be within the 12 FEX per Nexus 5000 limit.
    The 2148 is the first FEX, so yes it is the focus of the release notes.
    The 2148 cannot have a local port-channel.  This is why you can only channel to a 2148 when using dual-homed (called Active-Active mode), one interface on each 2148, and it is tied together with a vPC configuration to make a port-channel.  The individual 2148's each only have one connection on them down to the server below.  The 2248 and 2232 do not have this restriction.
    As of 4.2(1)N1(1), 576 refers to host interfaces.  If your host has virtual hosts, you just need to make sure you are within the limit of mac addresses in the system, which is 16,000 (13,800 unicast).

  • Samsung Wireless Extender question

    I just received a Wireless Extender that I bought through Amazon's Marketplace.  The item was labeled as new and looked new when I opened it, but it was apparently refurbished or something, because when I called Verizon Customer Service to activate it, I was told that it is already active on somebody else's account.  The CSR said I should contact the seller to see whether they can deactivate it from the existing account or return it.  I assume that since this seller had several of these that it was some kind of liquidation sale or something, so my only option would be to return it and try again.
    Since the extender seems to be working and it's going to cost me a shipping charge each time I return one, and chances are the next one will have the same problem, I'm thinking about just keeping it and using it without the managment functionality.  I'm not paying Verizon $300 just to get one I know is new.
    So, my question is, is there any risk to using an extender tied to somebody else's account?  Can they see information regarding the devices connected to it, and if the registered owner happens to get their account canceled, will the device stop working?  
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Can they see information regarding the devices connected to it, No, I don't believe so.
    and if the registered owner happens to get their account canceled, will the device stop working?  Yes, if the device is not attached to active account, it will stop working.  I'm not positive, but I think the Extender would be treated the same way as a cell phone if the account is shut down due to non-payment, basically the Extender would be "locked" to that account and unusable until the account is paid up.
    Thanks,
    Martin 
    I'd reccomend getting an Extender that you can activate on your account.  That way you know it won't stop working unexpectedly.

  • Office 2011 Question

    I realize this is a MS question, but I am hoping for an answer here, since the answers on this forum are always helpful.
    I had a custom dictionary in Office 2004 (also Word 98).  I'd like to find a way to import my custom dictionary from Word 2004 into Word 2011 (or 2008).
    When I upgraded from 2004 to 2008 I couldn't figure it out then.  I am also running varous legacy devices.  So that is why I mention all the various generations.
    Thanks

    hi,
    first, you don't have to extend JFrame (even it seems convenient), try to honor the composition over the inheritance. second, if you listen to key or mouse events, usually it's enough and perfectly ok to implement proper listener interface and then implement its methods (fulfill the contract).
    what you did (extnding some mouse listener) i would assume that you're trying to implement a new mouse listener with specific behavior. but what you actually want is just to use it.
    this question is "on the edge" since it involves some general design decisions (so it could be in java programming section) and at the same time it touches the j3d apis (so it can be here).
    hope it helped;)
