WCS 4.1.91

Has anybody installed this? I tried but never could get the WCS service nor Apache server to start. Went back to version 4.1.83 and it started fine.

It also fixed the "services stop when local user logs off" bug, even though it was set up as a service. One thing I did notice though is that 4.1 in general seems to be more picky about having the recommend RAM. I had a lot of weird start up errors when i wasn't using the recommend RAM which i didn't when using pre 4.1. Mainly do to VMWare install.

WCS Alarm Status shows green but LAP is unplugged ?! Oper Staus shows Down

Hello,
we are operating a Cisco WLAN environment with 1242 and 1131 LAP. Some of them have been converted from AP to LAP.
Now we took some LAP off the wall.
They are now packed in a box in our storage room.
But the WCS is showing a green Alarm Status for these LAP and as Oper Status Down.
How can that be ?
Is there a way to fix this problem, because we want to see the Alarm Status in Red.
Thx for all your input.
Best Regards
Christian

This is very interesting. If I try to put myself in the WCS developer's shoes, I think:
- if you get an alarm for missing AP, then acknowledge the alarm, WCS has no reason to re-display the same alarm. This is precisely what Acknowledge is for, to say "don't bother me with this issue anymore".
- Even if you manually remove the AP from WCS, it clearly keeps some memory of it, at least for a while. This is something you can clearly see if you run a report of any kind, WCS has to keep track of objects even if you remove them.
My suggestion would be:
- Unacknowledge the alarm, then delete it... acknowledging an alarm is probably not the best way to deal with removing an AP. You would use Aknowledge for alarms such as "your neighbour AP keep being detected as rogue, you can't remove your neighbour AP but don't want to hear about this warning anymore." You acknowledge the alarm, WCS keeps it in its database and remembers NOT to bother you with it anymore (exactly what happens in your case).
For an AP you remove, I would not acknowledge the alarm, but simply delete it after having removed the AP. This removes the alarm from the WCS database.
If you ever re-plug this AP to the network, WCS may remember it, but any new alarm about it will display.
Hope it helps

Does WCS come with the 5508 WLC?

Forum
I am providing a quote to a client for a wireless installation. I have two 5508 boxes and about 40 AP's on the quote, as well as associated SmartNet.
I was reading how the Cisco Unified Wireless Network is comprised of:
Controllers
Access Points
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS)
Cisco Mobility Services Engine
My questions are:
1. Does WCS come installed on the Controller? Is this something that the customer receives simply by virtue of the fact that they are purchasing the Controller? Or is this a separate piece of software with a cost?
2. What exactly is the Cisco Mobility Services Engine? What does it do that the Controller will not? How would I sell one to a customer?
Thank You
Kevin

WCS is a Windows 2003 application (so not "on the controller") that is completely separate and has to be purchased separately with different levels of licensing for different feature sets.
WCS is most useful when having several WLCs to manage and is offered when you buy a lot of stuff I think.
WCS alone brings better reporting features (graphs, pdf reports, ...) and maps to visualize everything.
MSE is a kind of "calculation appliance" that you link to your WCS to locate all clients and rogues in real-time on the map. Only that. But it's a cool enough feature :-) Without MSE you can only view one client at a time (when entering its mac address in the search field) on WCS maps.

Need to import new AP models into WCS

I am trying to do a predictive wireless survey in WCS Planning Mode; However, it does not include all the APs I need it to. We currently have WCS version:
Version
6.0.181.0
Host
N/A
Feature
Plus
AP Limit
700
Type
Permanent
Basically I need to be able to add the following APs and to the Planning mode:
3502i
3502E (with AIR-ANT2422DB-R and AIR-ANT5135DB-R antenaes)
1262
1142
Can anyone help me with this? I am not even sure how I would upload these to WCS either, is there a cost involved?

Excellent, I googled that and it is correct. For others that visit this discussion, here is the document:

Format of WCS template file for mac-address filtering

I am looking for the format of the template file used for WCS Mac-address filtering.
I need to know how the fields are delimited within the file.

Sample csv file :
#MAC Address,Profile Name,Interface,Description
22:22:22:22:22:22,profile8,management,cisco
00:00:00:00:00:01,myprofile,int1,First filter
00:00:00:00:00:02,,management,Second filter
00:00:00:00:00:03,,,Third filter
Note: "MAC Address" and "Description" are mandatory fields

How can I apply existing WCS "WLAN Config" templates to a new WLC?

We've been running a pair of WLC 4402s managed by WCS, thus we are still on the older 7.0.235.0 (WCS) / 7.0.235.3 (WLC) release. I'm trying to add an additional WLC 4402-50 as a hot spare. I first ran the manual setup steps to give it an IP in our range, and used the WLCs web page to set our SNMP communities and such to the values used by our existing WLCs, then I added the new WLC in WCS.
At this point I could apply most of the "Controller Templates" from our existing configuration to the new unit. However, I can not get it to take our existing interfaces nor our WLAN Configurations. How do I avoid needing to recreate these from scratch on the new WLC?
We only have four dynamic interfaces, and each WLC needs its own IP address for each interface, so I did manually add these via the WLCs web page. However, now when I go to the WCS' "Configure > Contoller Templagte Launch Pad" page, then select "WLANs > WLAN Configuration", I see my usual list of WLANs, but can't figure how to push them to the new WLC.
For all of the other templates on the launch pad, I can select a template, click the "Apply to Controllers..." button, and I get a list that has my existing two and also the new controller. I can select the new controller, and apply the template, and it succeeds.
Yet if I select a specific WLAN config, and press "Apply to Controllers...", the list that appears has only my existing two WLCs, not the the new one.
In small green type at the top it says, "Controllers configured with Interface/Interface Group - 'w-restricted' and selected RADIUS server(s), LDAP servers, ACL Name with rules and Ingress interface are shown."
I have already manually added the interface "w-restricted" to the new controller, and have added the RADIUS servers via the template used by our other two WLCs. Not sure what to do about "LDAP servers, ACL Name with rules and Ingress interface", as we don't have any ACL rules, nor use LDAP directly from the WLCs (as all user ID stuff is via RADIUS).
Any hints on what manual setup I should add to get the new WLC in the list for these WLAN Configs?
Thanks,
Steve

To be honest, if your only adding another WLC, your better off creating the interface and WLAN's manually. I don't like pushing out templates to create new WLAN's. I would use it to adjust an existing WLAN, but that would be it. To me it's safer. Also your new WLC is on the same code? If you really want to figure it out, I would manually add the interfaces first then refresh the co fog from the new WLC and then push out the WLAN SSID and see if it takes. If not, don't waste your time anymore and create it manually.

Error when adding a WLC to WCS

When adding a WLC to WCS I get this error: Failed to add device to WCS Reason:
COMMON-1: Some unexpected internal error has occured. If the problem persists please report to the Tech Support.
WCS 7.0.164.0 was upgraded from 5.2.110.0 because the WLC were running 7.0.98.0
WLC4404-100 7.0.98.0 (Already in WCS)
WLC4402-12 7.0.98.0 (Changed the ip address of the management and ap manager. Was in WCS but deleted from WCS prior to the ip address change and prior to the WCS being upgraded)
I know that the snmp strings are fine and that the WLC's both respond to snmp get commands.
The intial WCS upgrade from 5.2.110.0 to 7.0.164.0 didn't require the previous version to be uninstalled. After the upgrade and restoring the WCS from backup. I was getting the error posted above. We uninstalled WCS and re-installed WCS from scratch and still we are getting the same error. We tried restarting the WCS services and also the VM box as well and not luck. I was wondering if the WCS has the old ip and mac address of the WLC4402-12 in the database and that is why i'm getting this error.
I did delete and try different snmp community strings with no luck with WCS. Again, snmp is working since I can do snmp get from the WLC's.

Scott,
This is the issue:
com.cisco.common.persistence.transaction.TransactionException: Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of com.cisco.server.managedobjects.aaa.GuestUserTemplateCG.userStatus
Could be an existing bug or a new one. I cant say unless I look into your setup.

Anyone running WCS 6 on CentOS 5?

I ran into an issue when trying to install and run WCS 6.0.132.0 on a clean install of CentOS 5 (2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.centos.plus)
After successfully installing WCS using the option "-DCHECK_OS=false" I tried to start the WCS service with the startupscript as root, but got the following error:

1. The server is not running yet.
2. The server is hanging.

If the server has crashed or is hanging

1. Run StopWCS to stop all WCS processes.
2. Run StartWCS to start the WCS server.
3. If the server still fails to start, or you still get this

PS: I do realize this is not a Cisco supported OS, but I would like to try it before falling back to RHEL

Editing /etc/redhat-release should allow WCS to start. I run ours on CentOS 5 and I had to make this change.
Just comment out the CentOS line and add the Red Hat line below. You will probably need to be root to do this and
it may require a restart. Also after running updates for CentOS I have notice that the file usually changes back
and WCS does not start again. I keep a copy of the file on the server desktop and copy it over after the updates.
I have not notice any issue with running it on CentOS, just thought I would throw that out there.
Cheers!

Issue while installing WCS using omii.ini: Database ping failed

Hi,
I am trying to install WCS on local linux VM. I am following the document 'Oracle WebCenter Sites: Installing on Oracle WebLogic Application Server".
Following are the things I have been able to do successfully:
Install Oracle DB, create a database and then create a user for this database
Install WebLogic server, create domain, create admin server, managed server, and finally create a datasource. THe datasource connection to the DB created in step 1 above is successfull.
I downloaded the WCS installer from Oracle Website 'WebCenterSites_11.1.1.6_bp1'. I am installing using silent installer using omii.ini file.
During installation, on receiving the prompt to install CS and CAS applications, I installed them successfully via WebLogic console.
I tested the URL 'http://localhost:7001/cs/HelloCS' and it showed me the Oracle WCS 11g page.
Now, when I go back to the wcs installation terminal and hit Enter, it gives following error:

Thanks for your reply Yct.
I got the ping issue resolved today, there was an issue in the data source. Finally I was able to complete the installation successfully.
But there is one more issue now. After completing the installation, I am trying to access the URL to get to the WCS login page, but with no success.
Below, I am mentioning few URLs that I tried, and the outcome:
http://localhost:7001/cs/HelloCS , This URL gives me a page with some static content messages like 'Welcome to Oracle WebCenter Sites 11gR1'. Then there are some text lines in blue color. I think this page is working as expected.
http://localhost:7001/cs/login , this URL automatically gets redirected to the URL 'http://localhost:7003/cas/login?service=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A7001%2Fcs%2Fwem%2Ffatwire%2Fwem%2FWelcome' and I get an error message 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:7003.'
http://localhost:7001/cas/login, this takes me to login page, where when I enter fwadmin@xceladmin credentials, I am taken to JASIG Central Authentication Service page, which is again static, and I can't do anything on this page
http://localhost:7001/cs/Satellite?c=Page&cid=1327351719456&pagename=avisports%2FPage%2FHomeLayout1 , this takes me to the Avisports site, which is functional
http://localhost:7001/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=FirstSiteII%2FFSIILayout&cid=1124747609916&pagename=FSIIWrapper, this takes me to he FirstSit page, which is again functional
Issue: I am not getting the main login page, where I would get 3 sites(Avisports/FirstsiteII) in the dropdown.
Looks like there is something wrong going on.

Adding more than one controller to WCS at the same time

We are about to start a 585 location deployment with a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) at each facility. Currently, I can only see a way to add controllers to the Wireless Control System (WCS) one at a time through the GUI. Does anyone know a proven method of adding multiple WLC's to WCS at the same time?

Presently WCS does not have any feature through which mulitple controllers can be added to the WCS. Controllers can be added one at a time only.

Does WCS run on Windows 2008 R2 server?

Can anybody share his/her experience with running WCS on Windows 2008 R2 server?
Is it possible and did you experience any problems with it? (during installation or during normal usage)
Is it supported by Cisco already?
Our distributor is a little bit vague about that, that's is why I am asking it here.

From WCS 7 release notes :
Operating Systems Requirements
The following operating systems are supported:
•Windows 2003/SP2 and Windows 2003 R2/SP2 32-bit installations with all critical and security Windows updates installed.
Windows 2003/SP2 64-bit installations are not supported. A 32-bit operating system running on a 64-bit capable hardware is supported.
Windows 2003 32-bit installations provide support for up to 64 GB of RAM if Physical Address Extension (PAE) is enabled. See the Windows documentation for instructions on enabling this mode.
•Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 5.X 32-bit operating system installations.
Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 5.X 64-bit operating system installations are not supported. A 32-bit operating system running on a 64-bit capable hardware is supported.
•Windows 2003 and Red Hat Linux version support on VMware ESX version 3.0.1 and above with either local storage or SAN over fiber channel.
Individual operating systems running WCS in VMware must follow the specifications for the size of WCS that you intend to use.
No Windows 2008 ! I know lots of people have been crying for it and it should be coming in next releases but no promises as of now :-(

MSE location problem in WCS map

Hi,
I've Installed a MSE context aware services 6.0.103 and WCS 6.0.196.0 plus loaction license in a Campus with 4 WLC in 2 buildings, every buildings has 3 floor, i configure the WCS and associate the campus to MSE engine, I syncronize it with controllers and It works, but only for the ground floor of the buildings, on the other floor there are many clients but they are not visible on WCS map, I can view associated clients only on the groundfloor maps, and i check the properties of every floor but they are the same.
any ideas?
thanks
Regards

Hello,
Are the groundfloors all covered by APs on the same controller(s) and maybe the other floors covered by APs on different controllers?
Or are the same controllers having APs on either the groundfloor and other floors?
I am asking this because we may be running into a situation where the MSE doesn't correctly communicate with the controllers managing APs (and clients) on the floors where you can't see anything.
Also, is the MSE license having still free slots, or is the license limit completely consumed by all the clients in the groundfloors?
This can be verified in WCS under
Services > Mobility Services > [your MSE] > Context Aware Service > Administration> Tracking Parameters
After these first checks, I'd also verify the following:
1. The client on a specific floor should show up on the WLC under
show client detail
2. The same client should show up on WCS through a search for its MAC address.
Is the WCS pointing you to a specific map location for this client?
3. In WCS, under Monitor > Maps, do you see a client count higher than zero for those floors where you can't display clients?
4. In the floor map view of WCS, could you please confirm that you checked the "Clients" box and that in its properties you also selected "Show All Clients"?
I understand these may sound like obvious steps, but I'd prefer not to neglect anything.
Regards,
Fede

Questions about database access in WCS 7.x version

Hello,
In WCS version 7.x, events from controllers are stored in database. The limits for these events are 7 days and 40000 events. Does anyone know where we could change these limits?
In the other hand, we can´t access to database because we don´t know user and password to access database. Can anyone pass me default credentials for database?
What is the procedure to change database password in WCS version 7.x?
Thnaks in advance.

Don't know about username and password for the database, but this might help:

Q. How many alarms are kept in the WCS when are they cleared, and what is the average size of each alarm?
A. The WCS keeps the last 40,000 events in the system and clears them up after seven days. An event or alarm can have 1000 bytes on average.
A. Under the <WCS_INSTAL_DIR>/webnms/conf folder, there is a file called NmsProcessesBE.conf. Within this file, the user needs to modify the parameter CLEAN_EVENT_INTERVAL (default value is seven days) and the parameter EVENT_WINDOW_SIZE (default value is 40,000). The server needs to be stopped and restarted after the user makes the modifications.

Does anyone know what the "Provision Failure: MEDIATION-5, Lrad! errors are in WCS

Does anyone know what the "Provision Failure: MEDIATION-5, Lrad! errors are in WCS?
I get this when pushing an AP template to six new 3502i series access points. The error reads like this:
*** Apply Result for AP 'NameOfAPhere(C0:FF:EE:C0:F:EE)' ***
**AP Parameters**
Provision Failure: MEDIATION-5, Lrad!C0:FF:EE:C0:F:EE,secondaryMwar,No access
MAC address has been changes to protect the names of the innocent...
The rest of the template appears to push. The 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n parameters show "success".
Anyone have the magic decoder ring for what these messages are referring to so that I can go fix the issue?
Thanks in adavance!

Hi,
Two things :
1- Can you refresh configs from WLC to WCS and then give it a try ?
2- Is WCS using the right read-write community string for this WLC ?
(Since we see a "No Access" message in the error)
Thanks..Salil

Message on WCS/NCS: Attempted to use IP Address assigned to another device

Hi
i have two WLCs AIR-CT5508-K9, monitored by WCS (in retiring stage) and NCS.
All APs are grouped in HREAP groups based on their locations. The wireless users are getting ip from a dhcp pool running on routers located at each site. All dhcp commands on every routers are the identical. Eg. rtr1, located on site 1 has ip pool for wifi users 192.168.8.0/24. Rtr2 on site 2 has a ip pool for wifi users in range 192.168.8.0/24. Occasionally i am getting bellow message when some wifi users are unable to connect. After creating a HREAP group and associating APs to correct group, this message stops showing for a while but now i am getting them again.
The temp solution to get it all running is to clear ip dhcp pool on router located at affected site.
Any suggestions for a better solution?
Thanks
====================
NCS has detected one or more alarms of category Security and severity Minor in Virtual Domain ROOT-DOMAIN
for the following items:
1. Message: Client '14:5a:05:6c:75:37 (0.0.0.0)' which was associated with interface '802.11b/g/n' of AP 'STV-AP-7198' is excluded. The reason code is '3(Attempted to use IP Address assigned to another device)'. - Controller Name: GEORGE-WLC
===================

endpoint,
You are locally switching your networks, yes, but even without HREAP and WLCs, they are still connected networks in your overall topology, correct? I would never have site A with a given network that overlaps with a network in site B. With few exceptions, they should be completely separate, unique, non-overlapping network spaces. HREAP doesn’t even come into it.
The problem you’re likely having is that the WLC is seeing clients coming in from two different sites and because you are duplicating your configurations from site to site, the WLC sees duplicate IP assignment.
That said, you can try to turn off client IP address learning on the WLAN Advanced tab to see if that helps.
