Prime Infrastructure 2.0 no 'Add a WLAN' option

Hello,
I've started to pay with PI 2.0 and I've noticed that there is no option to add new WLAN.
I am following manual:
Step 1 Choose Configure > Controllers.
Step 2 Click the IP address of the appropriate controller.
Step 3 From the left sidebar menu, choose WLANs > WLAN Configuration.
Step 4 From the Select a command drop-down list, choose Add a WLAN.
but there is no 'Add a WLAN' option. The only ones I've got there are:
Delete WLAN(s)
Schedule status
Mobility Anchors
Foreign Controller Mappings
Does anyone know how to get that option there?
Thanks
Tomasz

Hi,
you're right that this can only be done with the template but to create one I needed to go to:
Design --> Feature Design
and then under Templates:
Features and Technologies --> Controller --> WLANs --> WLAN Configuration
There I've created new template for WLAN and then deployed it to controllers.
Maybe that's better way to do it, when you have many controllers.
Thanks
Tomasz

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Automatically add remove devices

Dears,
I'm basically looking for a dcrcli equivalent to use on prime infrastructure 2.0.
Customer has a central repository of devices that must be monitored. When devices are added or removed there, they automagically appear or disappear in the other systems.
Does something like this exist or is this on the roadmap?
Cheers,
Michel

Hi Scott,
Upto 7.3 config guide it was documented we have to reboot WLC when we configuring SNMP v3 which is wrong. (here is 7.3 config guide link for reference). May be older version (prior to 7.0) had that requirement, not too sure about it
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.3/configuration/guide/b_wlc-cg_chapter_0100.html#d16741e4514a1635
From 7.4 onwards config guide does not talk about it all. I deleted the default SNMPv3 user & create a new user in 7.4 & add it to prime without rebooting WLC.
Once you configureed a SNMPv3 user on a WLC, I do no think you can edit/change the password. You have to delete the user & recreate it with modified username/password.Then re-add the WLC to prime
The behaviour you mentioned is with any of later codes of WLC ?

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - User add failed : Some unexpected internal error has occurred.

Setting up Prime Infrastructure to manage 2504 WLC, trying to add Lobby Ambassador and I get this error message:
User add failed : Some unexpected internal error has occurred. If the problem persists please report to the Tech Support.
Technically, this is my second attempt at setting up PI. I set it up initially with the wrong version of PI and created a lobby ambassador. I followed the instructions from the forum with a similar problem that said to remove the trap receiver on the WLC from my first attempt at installing PI.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11110686/failed-add-device-wcs-reason-common-1-some-unexpected-internal-error-has-occured
I'm now able to add a Lobby Ambassador as long as its not the same username that I created on the previous PI setup. So I suspect this Lobby Ambassador username is somewhere on the 2504 WLC, but I can't find it anywhere to remove it.

I have just been struggling with a similar issue on a fresh install of Prime 2.1 Upgraded to 2.1.1.
If I try to create the user with lobby ambassador role it just fails with "unexpected internal error".
I eventually found that by creating the user as a normal admin user first - the user is added. You can then go in a remove the admin role and change the role to lobby ambassador. This works with no internal error and the lobby admin user is working fine.
I would say it is just a bug.

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and add a WLC device

Hi,
One question regarding to add a device / WLC Controller into NCS 2.0. I done this in the past with NCS 1.3 without problems
but now I don´t know why but if I add a device into the NCS 2.0 I get the the message CLI Failure / timeout.
I doublechecked all on the controller but I don´t see any failure . For my understanding I have to add a user under"Local Managmeent User " and then add this credentials into the Telnet/SSH Parameters on the NCS 2.0 .
Thanks for help.

Prime Infrastructure API add device

I've been looking at the Prime Infrastructure 2.1 API at /webacs/api/v1/ on my PI instance but I can't seem to find a way to add devices using the API? Looking to write a script for our techs to run after the provisioning of a new device and would love a way to get it added to Prime. Any ideas?

It isn't possible in Prime Infrastructure 2.1 to add devices via API, however, it now is possible with version 2.2. I've used it myself and I can confirm that it works.

What are the features supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for WLAN for autonomous AP's?

What are the features supported in Cisco Prime Infrastructure for WLAN for autonomous AP’s?

• PI provides visibility for autonomous clients within the same list view as lightweight and wired clients (client list page).
• Rogue AP detection for autonomous AP's is not supported (it's supported in CUWN).
• Alarms/events for client authentication issues (e.g. authentication failure) are displayed in PI.
• Config management for autonomous AP's is via CLI template. Config comparison and archiving functionality in PI leverages these same features that were brought in from LMS, so need to defer to others in terms of whether this is a cross-platform feature in PI or is only supported on a subset of platforms. Config comparison/archive is supported in CUWN.PI supports both infrastructure (e.g. AP Tx Power and Channel, busiest AP, AP utilization, etc.) and client (e.g. client count, client sessions, etc.) reports, and there are extensive reports for CUWN

Prime Infrastructure 2.1.1 cannot add more than two interfaces in Dynamic Interface Controller Templates

Cisco Prime Infrastructure is a damned nightmare of browser bugs (some features work in IE8, some in IE9, and some only in Firefox). And I am not sure if what I am experiencing is a browser bug - or a real bug - or something that I was able to do before and can't any more? I would love for someone to either explain why this is happening to me, or reproduce the bug!
I'm running Prime 2.1.1. I am doing this ...
Configure > Controller Template Launchpad
System > Dynamic Interface
Select a command > Add interface (GO)
Enter all the properties - roll to the bottom of the page, and click Apply to Controllers
I have four controllers. And normally I would add an interface for each controller. But I can only create two out of the four. It doesn't matter which two I choose. When I click Add under Manage Interfaces for the third controller, I cannot click the Done button to apply it (see screenshot, attached). I have found that if I change the VLAN to something else, it will let me save it. But ... why? I went back and reviewed all of my existing interface templates and I am not doing anything different. Although, they were all created a long while ago using WCS 7.x.
Any help, guidance, or confirmation of insanity would be appreciated.

I doubt I will get any hits on this here but I always try. I opened a TAC case. I will come back and comment on whatever they find.

Cannot add WLC 5508 to Prime Infrastructure 2.1

Regards,
I've been migrating / implementing a WCS to PI 2.1. I had several problems at first to add the 11 WLC we have to PI which I could be solving by trying and testing as I have not found many references by Cisco when it comes to troubleshooting when deploying PI.
I have several queries:
1. The WCS was added 11 WLC using different SNMP communities are configured on each of them. At first when trying to add the WLC had PI SNMP communication problems. I performed the test to eliminate any of the WLC added to WCS and add it again with some communities already existing R / W without any problem. At the end, I could not add the WLC so I had to create an SNMP community with the IP of Prime in the WLC so that they can be added. Does anyone know what is the cause of this?
2. I could not add a WLC 5508 IOS 7.3 using this method, even creating an SNMP community and IP mask 0.0.0.0 / 0. No access list or FW in between the WLC These WLC are spread over several countries but i was able to add the other WLC adding a community in each WLC pointing to the IP of Prime. It is similar to this case:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12232506/cannot-add-wlc-5508-v761200-prime-infrastructure-21
Thanks for the help.

It turns out that this situation was caused by a bug in 7.6.120.0 (CSCuo73572).
TAC handed me an escalation image (7.6.120.16) that fixed this.
Added the controllers sucessfully on the first try.

Cannot add WLC 5508 7.2.111.3 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

Though the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Compatibility Matrix list out that 7.2.111.3 is supported for PI 2.0
I am not able to add the controller to the PI 2.0.
The Reachability Status always shown "Unknow" and SNMP Status always shown "No response for SNMP Get".
There is no firewall between the WLC and PI.
And ping test shows it is reachable.
If I try to add controller by non-management port (I know it is not work but I want to try the reachability), the Reachability Status shown "Reachable" but the SNMP Status always shown error.
And if I use some SNMP testing software to test the SNMP port. SNMP can be quoted.
I have try to lower down the "Maximum VarBinds per Get PDU" but no luck.
Any thing I can do to troubleshoot the problem?

Yes, I follow the procedure but it does not work.
Another update:
I add another WLC with version 7.0.98.0. It is fine.
And I setup another new PI 2.0 and new temporary WLC5508 with 7.2.111.3 to test. It work fine also......
So, I am wondering the existing 7.2 WLC have problem in responsing the SNMP Get. But I dont have any idea to test....
Do anyone have idea to test the snmp connection between PI and WLC?

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 add antenna?

Hi!,
I Have installed a cisco infrastructure 2.0 application. during the configuration phase of the heatmaps I notice that my antenna model is not in the list; there is a "generic antenna" option but this antenna is a "directional" antenna but my model is AIR-ANT2430V-R an omni-directional antenna. how can i ADD my exact model of antenna to the Prime Infrastructure app?

Just to be more specific, i need to know if is possible add more antennas on this option marked on the picture... this is to avoid use the "other" option or other equivalent model (which is what i have configured now based on the dBi value)... thanks in advance for any idea...

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Rest API XML does not add LF

I am using several scripts that dig the data from XML files created through Cisco Prime Infrastructure Rest API. It worked fine until 2.1. Now, with 2.2, seems Cisco stopped adding LF to each line and everything is 'one' line.
Here is an example with 2.1, there is a LF to the end of each line:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<queryResponse type="AccessPointDetails" rootUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data" requestUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data/AccessPointDetails?type=contains(UnifiedAp)&.full=true&.maxResults=1000&.firstResult=0" responseType="listEntityInstances" count="715" first="0" last="714">

                    <platform>cisco WS-C3560-8PC</platform>
                </cdpNeighbor>
Now, with 2.2, there is not LF anywhere:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><queryResponse type="AccessPointDetails" rootUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data" requestUrl="https://server/webacs/api/v1/data/AccessPointDetails?type=contains(UnifiedAp&.full=true&.maxResults=1000&.firstResult=0" responseType="listEntityInstances" count="715" first="0" last="714">

<accessPointDetailsDTO id="1505569" displayName="1505569"><adminStatus>ENABLE</adminStatus><apType>AP1240</apType><cdpNeighbors><cdpNeighbor>
Does anyone know, is this intentional or a mistake? Or is there a way how I control this?
I am reading on-line CPI Rest API docs, but seems cannot find anything.
Thanks,
Vlad

PI 2.0 is in Beta mode for testing in closed group already. However it may still take some time to get released on CCO for FCS.
I think it is expected to be released between aug-sep. BU has also started working on CPI 2.1, which you can see test uploads on CCO.
For what does it have for customers?
> As Cisco have a vision of one network Management software for both wired and wireless infrastructure, which started getting real partially with Cisco PI.
As WCS got evolved to NCS and eventually to Cisco Prime Infrastructure, but it doesnt yet have full Management capability for wired infra., which is there with LMS.
With CPI 2.x Cisco plans to blend entire LMS and WCS features together.

Cannot add WLC 5508 v7.6.120.0 into Prime Infrastructure 2.1

Hi everyone
Hope you can help us with this issue.
We already configure the WLC using this guide: http://mrncciew.com/2013/02/14/configuring-snmp-on-wlc/
snmp v2: enable
snmp v1: enable
default port values
community: incaenic with ip and mask 0.0.0.0 to allow access from any network or ip
traps receiver: community: incaenic ip: 10.100.100.15
when we try to discover the WLC with the PI it gave the error "SNMP Connectivity Fail"
WLC is on subnet 10.100.102.0/24 and PI in 10.100.100.0/24; there is a Catalyst 3850 between then with no access list on then.
Did someone can guide us with this?
Best Regards.
Alvaro Rugama

Hi,
Which version of SNMP are you using?
If you are using v1/v2 you should be using community string rather than local database credentials?
Regarding the service port what is the ip address assigned on the service port. From the configuration guide "Prime Infrastructure uses the preferred management IP address from the loop back interface. If the device does not have a loopback interface, Prime Infrastructure uses similar logic to the OSPF algorithm to select the router’s preferred management IP address."
Hope that helps.
Regards
Najaf

Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Express, licensing

Are there any funcionatility limitation between each edition of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure other than supported number of devices?
Does it support turning APs on and off on a predefined scheduled?
I read in the manual "Cisco Prime Infrastructure Classic View Configuration Guide for Wireless Devices" that it is possible to Managing WLAN Status Schedules. Does it require the assurance license feature set or will lifecycle license will be sufficient?

I believe you could create a scheduled Lightweight AP Configuration Template job and have it simply turn off the radios on the selected APs. Make it recurring (every night at a certain time) and add a complementary recurring job to turn the radios back on at the desired time.
