Simulating a Wireless Controller, AP and wireless host in GNS3

How is it possible to simulate a WLC/AP and wireless host in a GNS3 environment ?
Thanks.

It is not possible.

  • Wireless controller 5500 and aironet 1142

    We have a wireless controller 5500 at a hub site.  The remote sites are running the aironet 1142 wap in controller mode.  We configure dhcp option 43 at the remote isr's and the 1142 remote site waps's join the controller's as they should.  The 1142's are getting the subnets from the hub site.   Because of this, they are not subject to the web content filtering at the remote site, but rather the filtering at the hub site.  We would rather they be subjet to the content filtering at the remote site.  Is there a way to have the remote 1142 wap's connecting through, and drawing the subnet from the remote isr, so that they will be subject to the local content filtering.

    Convert the WAPs to H-REAP (aka FlexConnect).

  • Trouble with wireless switch (rfkill) and wireless connectivity.

    Hello, this is my first message in this community so please bare with me if this message should be in the newbie part; but I think it's better fitted here. Other than that, I'm glad to be here .
    After quite some time in Fedora I'm coming to Arch and I must say I'm delighted, so I wanted to use it in my laptop too which was running an old version of Fedora.
    The laptop is an Airis N930 (about 5 years old) with a RaLink RT2500 wireless adapter which worked well in Fedora 11 but I'm having some trouble getting it to work in Arch. The problem is that the connectivity switch in this laptop is kind of a software one: in Windows it's compulsory to have a program which came in the drivers disk so that when that button is pressed (think of it as another key in the keyboard) the wireless connectivity is turned on and the indicator led lights up.
    For a Linux based system there's no such program (I think) but the behaviour seems to be different in newer and older systems (I've tried Fedora and Ubuntu recent live environments and the behaviour is the same as in Arch). In Fedora 11 it just works everything's unblocked by default, in Arch the hardware block seems to be on and I don't know of any way to unblock it:
    root@laptop ~ $ ifconfig wlan0 up
    SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
    root@laptop ~ $ rfkill list
    0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes
    root@laptop ~ $ rfkill event unblock phy0
    1298671843.804446: idx 0 type 1 op 0 soft 0 hard 1
    Pressing the wireless connectivity button doesn't produce any event... Does anyone know what can I try or how to remove the hard block? Could it be related to newer kernels?
    Thank you very much for your time, any fixes, workarounds or ideas are welcomed.

    Thank you for your tips lamegaptop. I already have linux-firmware installed and I'm using the supported kernel module for the card (it's a PCI one):
    06:01.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g (rev 01)
    Loaded modules for it:
    rt2500pci 12420 0
    rt2x00pci 3890 1 rt2500pci
    rt2x00lib 24866 2 rt2500pci,rt2x00pci

    cfg80211 120337 2 rt2x00lib,mac80211
    eeprom_93cx6 1004 1 rt2500pci
    Rfkill is installed too, the output I posted in the first post belongs to the commands I entered in the Arch system. In Fedora rfkill always reports both blocks to be off.
    As the Fedora system is running a 2.6.30.10 kernel I tried to run some tests using the LTS kernel (it's a 2.6.32.X right now) in the Archboot live environment, the output of "rfkill list" changed as seen below:

    This behaviour was the same when running the default Arch kernel in Archboot. I'm thinking in extracting the kernel configuration from the Fedora kernel and use it to build a new one and see if it helps, although I'm not sure where the problem may be.

  • Wireless charging cable and wireless data cable

    Dear Apple,
    If you can create the wireless charging cable and a wireless data cable, this will be awesome and easier because my sister is young and she always break my charging cable and I'm not gonna keep buying an charging cable.
    If you please can create these, for iPad 4 or earlier.
    These have to contains wireless range at lest 15 feet
    Thank you for your support

    1. This is a user to user forum, Apple is not here.
    2. If its wireless, then there is no cable. i.e Wireless means without wires a.k.a no cables.
    3. If you want to suggest something to apple use the Feedback link.

    Does anybody know how I can connect a wireless printer to this? basically wondered if I can install a cert or do I need to create an account somehow
    we use a triple A server, Cisco ACS for authentication.
    Any help appreciated

    OK, so the printer is a brother 5370DW, which I believe will not support certificate based wireless, so I could create a username/password on the 5500? , please look at my radius settings below, does the order of auth look good?

  • Problem getting Airprint (Bonjour) to communicate to HP LaserJet CP1525nw printer across a Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller

    I cannot get my IPad2 to print (it cannot find the printer) using a Laserjet CP1525nw color printer across a wireless network using a Cisco 1508 Wireless Controller with 49 wireless access points. HELP!!!!
    What is the secret to getting Bonjour to work on it?
    I can get the IPad2 to locate the HP CP1525nw printer without a hitch using a low budget Netgear WAG102 stand alone wireless access point on the same network.

    If it helps somebody, here is what you need to do.
    It worked for me, but only in Multicast-Unicast mode.

  • DSL and wireless ~ love/hate relationship

    Well, I'm back.  Starting a new post but adding the old so those interested in this little soap opera love/hate relationship between my DSL and wireless WRT54G router can follow along without commercials.....
    http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/DSL-and-Wireless-something-isn-t-right/m-p/331539...
    It's becoming a tiring game, trying to second guess my router....what will restore the connection today?  Everything is working wireless BUT the connection needs to repaired continually:
    The Wii won't connect so we boot up either the laptop or the desktop computer, then all of a sudden the Wii connects.
    The desktop takes forever (around 10 minutes) to connect but once it does, it either works fast or each page load will take forever....never know till you're in there working.
    Sometimes turning the wireless router and DSL off will reset it and it will work fine.
    Sometimes running a network diagnostic resets the system.
    Sometimes doing a repair on the network will do it.
    We did learn that plugging in the ethernet chord makes for instant access, so we know its not the DSL or the ISP itself.
    any suggestions?  Is it time to break up with my old wireless router and find a hot new young thing?  Or is there something else going on that I haven't worked out yet?
    Thanks for your help in advance as always!!

    Have you tried upgrading the router's firmware...?
    You can try by upgrading/reflashing the router's firmware.After upgrading/reflashing the router's firmware,reset the router and reconfigure it from scratch.

  • Dual band wireless 2.4 and 5 ghz not supported

    well first off i cant believe this 2013 model that cost 800.00 doesn't support both radio 2.4 ghz frequency and 5.0 frequency for media. i bought a dual band router that creates 2 networks one for email and internet and the other for media. i dont know what to do because it will not get the download speed i buy 200mbps. only about 100mbps. The wireless network adapter and wireless frequency of 5.0 needs to be installed in this computer. I am so frustrated with all the media out there and technology dual band routers have been around for 5 years or so. so why did hp neglect to incorporate what the routers aare doing. I have my 2 smart tvs, blueray player, cell phone, and laptop part of only one network that does not include video. and i am supposed to have a working nertwork. thats a joke and a big problem thanks to hp. does anyone know what i need to do to this pc to get the 5.0ghz band frequency come out of this computer and i guess i need a new wireless network adapter that accommodates  both frequencies. but heres the problem everything is housed in the monitor because it is an all in one. at least the old towers you could open and get a picture of what was inside the tower and what was available to add to to the empty spaces or slots. i am not going to be able to open this up and install a chip for the network adapter and hardware to send and receive a 5.0 frequency and all the channels that go with it. any advice

    ii appreciate your reply but routers started wireless connections using dual band about 5 years ago andd if its so cheap to get then hp should have the technology as well. the computer manufacturers know about this technology long before it actually comes out so probably about 2008 hp already knew about thee dual band wifi connection and they probably were instrumental in getting the 5.0 frequency because it supports media and has not been used as much as 2.4ghz. they just didnt want to spend the money or time to install the necessary hardware and software to keep the frequencies from conflicting and screwing up the channels putting out the data and video. that would involve additional software and hardware to keep static and channel conflicts from causing data and video interference. I will contact hp and ask when will they have the dual frequency wifi hardware adapters and software available on there computers and can i get it installed in this one

  • Cisco Aironet 3502i and Virtual Wireless Controller- Question

    Hello everyone,
    As soon, I purchased two Cisco 3502i and Cisco 1142 however, two issue are that I don't have controller and smartnet. As my purpose, it using for Home Use but house with 2,500 Sq ft with two floor and new 24x24ft garage with two floor. I put two Cisco 3502i for garage and one cisco 1142 in house on second floor. Separated for multi media, gaming, streaming high resolution video, parts, and downloads programmings online. It will run with Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports (4 POE) and two gigabit ports. In house, it have Dell Poweredge 2850, Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports POE and 2 ports gigabit.
    I thought to make my own developing with my first time using Wireless Controller. I wanted to try out with Virtual WLC on Dell Poweredge 2850 running ESXi 4.1.
    Specs for Dell Poweredge 2850:
    - 2x Intel Xeon Dual Core 3.8 GHz
    - 4GB RAM (Will upgrade to 12GB soon)
    - 2x 146GB and 2x 36GB SCSI
    - 2x 1 Gbps built in and 4x 1 Gbps PCI-X
    Developing with Untangle and pfSense to make it support with LADP and VLAN to both Cisco Express 500 using 4 gbps PCI-X. I have read the requipment list to use Virtual WLC but it seem met the requipment for my 2850. If someone offer me to get Virtual WLC and IOS from their, I accept to "borrow" it. I do go college which is Rochester Institute of Technology at New York and my major is Applied Computer Technology. I live here at Hampton Road, Virginia. Just in case if you might know about RIT. I just start to learning myself with Cisco books.
    I have a question:
    - Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
    - Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
    -  Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
    - Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
    Thanks
    Gage

    Answers in-line...
    I have a question:
    - Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
    No.  You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco.  Nobody will provide this to you.
    - Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
    No.  You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco. 
    Nobody will provide this to you.
    -  Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
    Cisco doesn't go in to great detail regarding the actual Hardware requirements of the vWLC (as far as ESX Host requirements).  Primarily, making sure you are running ESX 4.x/5.x is necessary.  The vWLC provisions 2Gb of RAM and 8GB of thick provisioned storage, so if your host can accomodate I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.
    - Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
    Yes, with the latest versions of IOS 15.2(2)JB, full functionality in autonomous can be achieved on the 1550, 3500, and 3600 series APs

  • Problems between a Wireless Controller and a Switch.

    I have a Wireless Controller 4402 connected to one sw2960G.
    I configured the controller with LAG and the switch (sw2960G) with etherchanel.
    I connected the controller 2 distribution ports to the 2 ports of the switch (configured with etherchanel).
    It worked like it should work.
    But the problem is like this: if I take one cable that is connected to the switch and unplugged that cable from the switch (if that cable is the one connected to controllers port one) I have connectivity between both machines.
    If I plug in the switch the cable connected to controller port one and take the other cable and unplugged that cable from the switch I stop the connectivity between the two machines.
    I think that was not supposed to happen… because the LAG in the controller should put every AP in the second controller's port, and the connectivity between the machines should not end.
    Can any one help me?
    Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rui

    With LAG enabled in the controller I think I can have only one ap-manager interface.
    The LAG will (it is supposed to) do the load balance automatically.
    I mean, if one of the interfaces is “down” the other will have to coupe with all the AP's.
    I should have always connection between the controller and the switch.
    The STP of the controller is configured by default (STP Mode = OFF).
    In the case of etherchannel load balance… I saw the Cisco documentation and I did not saw any thing about that. I think that The LAG as to do that for the controller… I'm right about that?
    I will see the link that you advised…
    Can you help me?
    Thanks,
    Rui

  • Cisco 2504 wireless controller forget username and password

    hi,
    i just want to ask how i can do password recovery with my wireless controller without erasing the configuration

    When you first configure the controller and reboot, you will see an option to recover the password.  This is a one time option and if the controller has been up and rebooted a few times, then the only other way to change or add another user so you can login is with Prime Infrastructure and the use of snmp. You can download that and install that in ESXi 5.5 and get an eval license.  Or you can dig around and search for an smnp mib that will change it.  That piece I don't know about:)

  • Wireless controller ha between wlc5508 and wlc 4402

    We have 2 wlc:  a wlc 5508 ( license 100 AP ) and  wlc 4402 ( license 12AP).
    We try to setup when 5508 down, 12 identify AP (important AP -Group A) will join 4402 and all other AP (not improtan AP -Group B)
    wont joint  wlc 4402.
    First, all AP join wlc 5508, 2 WLC have same mobility group.
    After that, we  config 12 APs belongto group A have primary and secondary wlc, group B only has primary wlc.
    When wlc 5508 down, some of APs of GroupA and   some of APs of GroupB join wlc 4402. We test many times and we have differnet result each times.
    is theare any way to resolve our problem?
    Thanks.

    Just to add, make sure that the WLC is running the same code, if not, then make sure the ap is supported on the code that is running on the 5508. The issue with mixed code is the ap will upgrade and downgrade very time they switch to a different WLC.

  • Adding second 5508 Wireless Controller, how to best configure for load balancing and redundancy?

    We recently purchased a second 5508 wireless controller (both licensed for 100+ AP's).  What is the easiest way to configure and add the second controller so I can split the load between the 2 controllers and provide failover capability?  I do not want to run in an active/standby mode since that will effectively cut our AP capacity by half even with both controllers running. 
    Should I just manually configure the new controller (long and drawn out process to configure all the parameters), backup the current controller configuration and import to the second controller (then change the ip address) or is their an easier way to cause the two controllers to synchronize the configurations? 
    We are currently running 7.0.240.0 on our active controller and I would rather not upgrade it until we get the new controller online so I can have less downtime and fail AP's between controllers.
    What can you recommend? 
    Jim

    I'm assuming then, when I update the software on the controllers I won't be able to choose which controller is primary for an AP anymore and will lose access to the 100 AP licenses (and the capability to have 100 AP's registered, 100 licenses on each Controller).
    Read the Deployment Guide.  It should mention that you can choose which controller is the "primary" and which one is the "secondary".
    If I'm not concerned about quick failover can I still assign a primary and secondary controller for each AP and utilize all 200 AP licenses that are split between the 2 controllers?
    You sure can.  But this "old school" method is a very expensive method.  Why?  Because this means that you have two controllers with similar AP licenses.  The newer AP SSO means one controller has a full license and the other has only an HA SSO license, which is a lot cheaper.

  • Question about Wireless Controller and LAG.

    I have a Wireless Controller 4400.
    When I configure the controller with LAG, I have to connect the controller to a L3 switch?
    If I connect the controller to a L2 switch the LAG works?
    Some one can tell me something about this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rui

    Copper? so you are using rj-45 Gb SFPs on the controller. If that is the case, what is the speed of the switchports on the 2960?
    I use the rj-45 Gb SFPs on our 4402s and they work fine connected to Gb rj-45 ports on the switches.
