WCS 7.0.172.0 Feedback Broken

I am trying to use the feedback tool from within WCS but when it opens the page, whatever Cisco product you choose it directs you to leave feedback for NCS.
Just thought i'd let Cisco know this is broken.

I haven't been able to make it work like it was in prior versions.  I have found you can initiate the session from monitor-->access points--->ap name and selecting the radio type.  802.11b/g/n, or 802.11a/n.  The icon is under cleanair management operation.

  • Import WCS 7.0.164.0 Database into WCS 7.0.172.0

    We are experiencing some issues while upgrading from WCS  7.0.164 to 7.0.172. For some reason, everytime we try to import the 7.0.164 database, the 7.0.172 restore process aborts with:

    OS is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, 32bit, PAE Enabled  
    The strange thing is, we had a case open and the TAC-Engineer was actually able to import the database, since it looked like a issue with our virtual machine we agreed to close the case and continue testing on another server. However after moving to a proper server the problem still exists.
    Also it doesnt matter if we try a direct upgrade install with automated migration or a fresh install with manual db import, its always the same error during the hibernate export.
    I think i will reopen the case later but maybe there is a more simple solution to that problem?
    Thanks a lot
    Kind regards

    Hi Jorge,
    It looks like such a level of granularity may not be achievable yet.
    Should you need such a feature to be evaluated for potentially being included in future software releases, I would recommend to contact your local Cisco account team.
    They should be able to follow up and submit a product enhancement request (PER).
    Business units will evaluate PERs and, if feasible for the market, they may consider implementing such an enhancement in future versions of the SW/HW.
    Regards,
    Fede

  • Migrate from WCS 7.0.172.0 to Cisco Prime NCS

    Is there anyway to migrate off of WCS to Prime NCS? We have a fully built WCS system with maps and all configs and was wondering if there was a way to restore to NCS.

    Yes, this is possible.  Here is the link from the NCS release notes on the process.

    Here are collections of the Cisco WCS fails to start up.
    Case 1: Apache server is not running.
    Case 2: If the WCS were installed as a service, try to rebooted the machine.
    Case 3: Check if the scripts are manually run from the bin directory. You must not manually run scripts from the bin directory. You must use the links from the Windows WCS programs menu or the scripts from Linux <Install Dir> (that is, /usr/local/bin/WCS22/StartWCSServer).
    Case 4: Make sure the following ports are available to WCS.
    *Checking for Port 1299 availability... OK
    *Checking for Port 80 availability... OK
    *Checking for Port 443 availability... OK
    *Checking for Port 8009 availability... OK
    *Checking for Port 8456 availability... OK
    *Checking for Port 8457 availability... OK
    *Checking for Port 8005 availability... OK
    *Checking for UDP Port 69 availability... OK
    *Checking for Port 21 availability... OK
    Case 5: WCS does not start if the database is corrupt. If you reinitialize or restore the database, it fixes the issue. Navigate to the WCS installation directory and issue the dbadmin.bat reinitdb command from the command prompt to reinitialize the database.
    case 6: Collect the log files from the <WCS Installation Dir>\webnms\logs. These log files can be used to identify the root cause of the issue.
    Case 7: Check if the Windows SNMP trap service is active on the server. Disable the service because it uses Port 162 that is required by WCS. For more information on list of ports used by WCS, refer to the

  • Migrate WCS 7.0.172 to Prime 1.3

    Hi all,
    I need to migrate from WCS to Prime in order to support WLC 7.4.
    I'm a little bit confused about license migration procedure, I have read that it is necessary to move trought Prime1.2, so the license code that I need is:
    R-W-PI12-M-K9
    WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime   Infrastructure 1.2 Migration
    R-PI12-BASE-K9
    Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Base   License and Software
    L-PI12-LF-1K-LIC
    Prime Infrastructure 1.2 -   Lifecycle - 1K Device Lic PAK
    L-PILMS42-1K-M
    Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 -   1K Device Upgrade Lic
    L-W-PI12-1K-M
    WCS to Prime Infrastructure 1.2   Migration 1K Device
    How I can obtain .lic file for Prime from license present on my WCS installation?
    The export from CLI procedure on WCS, export also the actual License?
    Where is the procedure? I think there are some steps on the machine and others on the Cisco site
    NOTE: I also change the position of the software from a virtual machine to another one
    An additional request, in some document I read that it is possible to migrate directly to Prime1.3, is it true?
    Thanks

  • Copy AP Configuration Templates-WCS 7.0.172.0

    I am wondering if anyone has seen a way to copy an AP configuration template. We have several distribution centers and the templates are essentially identical other than the Template name and the AP Group VLAN (different for each DC). We set up a new template for each new DC. Being able to copy a template, rename it and change the Group VLAN setting would save a lot of time.

    I haven't been able to make it work like it was in prior versions.  I have found you can initiate the session from monitor-->access points--->ap name and selecting the radio type.  802.11b/g/n, or 802.11a/n.  The icon is under cleanair management operation.

  • WCS running 7.0.172.0 crashing

    We've been running WCS 7.0.172.0 since the end of last year and during that time it has crashed twice. You get to the login-page but when attempting to log in the page just keeps loading untill it times out. When checking in the server it says that the Database is down.
    In order to get it up and running again the you have to first stop WCS service and then start it again. It isn't enough to just start it.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I've run into similar problems with WCS 7.0.172.0.  Happens every time the server admins apply patches & reboot the server without shutting down WCS cleanly first.
    Once I had to uninstall, reinstall & restore my most recent snapshot to get it running again.  Most recently I've been able to stop WCS completely & restart it.
    This is on Windows Server 2003 R2 Std Ver SP2 on a VM.

  • WCS: Bug with unique client report?

    I'm running WCS 7.0.172.0 and have run into the situation where a Unique Client Report, when run for the last day, shows lots of clients (properly).  When you select a specific date range, you get no records, regardless of the date range (you can even select the last 24 hours with the drop-downs).  Is this a bug?

    I've gone back and forth with TAC on this, and it's been explained to me that the function of the report has changed recently and the description for what it does is no longer valid.  I STILL think there is a bug in this, however, as it appears whenever I run this report, it only shows me the unique clients RIGHT NOW, even if I pick "last day" which I'm told is really the only valid criterion... something is definitely broken here.

  • Virtual Domains in WCS

    hello
    i have a WCS 7.0.172.0 that in theory supports 252 virtual domains. However i just only let me create 124.
    I see this note in cisco
    Note        WCS supports up to 252 virtual domain in version 5.2 and later. For versions prior to 5.2, WCS supports  up to 124 virtual domains.
    but i dont know what happend.
    thnks for your help.

    Luis:
    It is either the message wrong or there is something wrong.
    But looking into the documatation, on WCS 7.0 (and also WCS 6.0) config guide it says:
    '''snip'''
         The maximum number of virtual domains that can be defined in WCS is 124.
    '''snip'''
    Reference: http://tiny.cc/6fd6bw
    on WCS 7.0MR1 config guide it says:
    '''snip'''
         WCS supports up to 252 virtual domain in version 5.2 and later. For versions prior to 5.2, WCS supports up to 124      virtual domains.
    '''snip'''
    Reference: http://tiny.cc/8nd6bw
    The second statement contradicts with information in 6.0 and 7.0 config guide. 7.0 guide says that max number of virtual domains is 124. 7.0MR1 however sayss for all versions of 5.2 and later it supports 252!!
    I think there is a documentation problem here. It would probably be 124 as the maximum but it is documented improperly.
    Luis: what the message you get when you try to add one more vitual domain (virtual domain number 125)? does it show you any messages?
    if you are authorized for TAC support it is better to open a TAC case. if not I suggest that you do a feedback on the document that mentions that the supported virtual domains is 252 and let them check wih BU if the document informaiton is correct or not. The first option is better and faster.
    Sorry for not being able to help further. But this ovreall needs Cisco intervention to explain the matter.

  • AP mesh info in WCS not show bridge links.

    Hi guys,
    I would like to know if any of you following problem has occurred. I have implemented 3 wireless mesh with 1262 AP WLC 5508 v 7.0.116.0 and WCS 7.0.172.0 base lic, all has been running perfect, the problem arises when I want to see on the map graphically bridge links, I have enabled AP Messh info but it not shows the bridge links, in hierarchical Mesh Parent-Child View only shows the RAP. To load the maps we used Campus> Outdoor area> AP.
    I will appreciate any comments.
    Greetings.

    Are you loading 4.0? With WCS 4.x you need to generate a license with the PAK you should have received from Cisco. If you did not receive a PAK, read the following excerpt from the following url:
    Existing Cisco WCS customers that have not received their PAK certificate from Cisco should contact their Cisco sales representative or send an e-mail to the [email protected] alias to notify Cisco that they need their PAK certificate. Cisco will attempt to respond to requests to this alias within 48 hours Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM Pacific Standard Time.

  • WLC Custom Web Auth Bundle sample .tar file is not on WCS

    The WLC documentation would make it appear (or maybe previously) you should download a sample web auth bundle code from the WCS Templates. I was never able to find a sample .tar file on the WCS 7.0.172.0 templates.
    However I found on Cisco.com under Support > Downloads > Products >Wireless> Wireless LAN Controller Standalone Controllers> Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controllers > Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller > Wireless Lan Controller Web Authentication Bundle-1.0.2  > webauth_bundle-1.0.2.zip
    It was updated in June 2011, some pretty good sample html code.
    The readme.html in the sample webauth_bundle-1.0.2.zip file has been very helpful , almost as good as the suppport community web page on custom web auth.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-13954

    WCS config guide 7.0.172 is correct
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/7.0MR1/configuration/guide/temp.html#wp1129979
    The bundle in WCS is downloaded through :
    configure->controller
    "select a command"-> download customized webauth bundle.
    Just tested it and it was there.
    The one on cisco.com is better though

  • ERROR: invalid backup file version. Exception: Error while unzipping invalid wcs 7.x export file

    Hi,
    I'm having a serious issue with your brend new Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) and i would appreciate if someone could give me good answers.
    After a background backup task failure, the database was entirelly corrupted and the oracle server no longuer wanted to start. And because of that the NCS web server is unusable, since no one can log in.
    We tryed to restore to last known backup obtained after a former suucessful backup. But we get this error:
    "ERROR: invalid backup file version. Exception: Error while unzipping invalid wcs 7.x export file"
    All the lost data was previously migrated from the former WCS 7.x server. Before this issue everything was working fine.
    So we think that the appliance is seeing the backup file from NCS as a WCS backup.
    We need to find rapidly a solution. Here is our configuration:
    We formerly had WCS 7.0.172.0 hosted on Microsoft Windows Server 2003  SP2 with the above caracteristics: 
    Intel(R)Xeon(R) CPU  5120 @ 1.86Ghz 1.87Ghz 16GB of RAM.
    We now have NCS  Version 1.1.1.24 running under Cisco Application Deployment  Engine

    I was getting this error too. TL;DR: When you transfer the wcs.zip file to your FTP server, make sure you are using BINARY mode... which is often NOT the default FTP mode.
    Long Version:
    TO GET THIS ERROR, what I had done was use the Windows CLI FTP command to transfer my "wcs.zip" to the NCS FTP server.
    -----BEGIN WRONG STEPS-----
    C:\ftp
    ftp> open x.x.x.x
    Connected to x.x.x.x.
    220 Service ready for new user
    User (x.x.x.x:(none)): ftp-user
    331 User name okay, need password for ftp-user
    Password:
    230 User logged in, proceed
    ftp> put wcs.zip
    200 Command PORT okay
    150 File status okay; about to open data connection
    226 Closing data connection
    ftp: 526768949 bytes sent blah blah etc
    -----END WRONG STEPS-----
    I would then run "ncs stop" and "ncs migrate" and get the "ERROR: invalid backup file version. Exception: Error while unzipping invalid wcs 7.x export file".
    I remembered something from my misspent youth: Windows, for no good reason, likes to transfer files in ASCII mode. UNIX (which LINUX comes from) prefers BINARY, and the two do not like to negotiate.
    TO FIX THIS, I had to just FTP in Binary mode.
    -----BEGIN RIGHT STEPS-----
    C:\ftp
    ftp> open x.x.x.x
    Connected to x.x.x.x.
    220 Service ready for new user
    User (x.x.x.x:(none)): ftp-user
    331 User name okay, need password for ftp-user
    Password:
    230 User logged in, proceed
    ftp> binary
    200 Command TYPE okay
    ftp> put wcs.zip
    200 Command PORT okay
    150 File status okay; about to open data connection
    226 Closing data connection
    ftp: 526768949 bytes sent blah blah etc
    -----END RIGHT STEPS-----
    NOW when I enter "ncs stop" (actually... had to restart them... then stop them... x.x) and then the proper "ncs migrate" commands, I get a happy output and don't have to go home late troubleshooting this.

    I hope this helps anyone banging their head against the WCS->PI1.3 install wall.
    (Note, WCS needs to be migrated to NCS 1.1.1.24 (NOT NCS 1.1.3!!!!!) before you can migrate to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 or 1.3, because for no readily apparent reason the "ncs migrate" command was removed from PI 1.2 and up. Also note, there is no "Prime Infrastructure 1.1;" they just renamed NCS to Prime Infrastructure after NCS 1.1 because. Yes, the sentence ends there. Great products, all 3, just... agonizing to migrate.)

  • Using Cisco WCS with Microsoft IAS

    Hi.
    I have two 5508 and WCS 7.0.172. I want to user Active Directory users credintals to login on ther WCS. Have a configurated NPS role on server with windows 2008 r2.
    I have read this http://zmq503o1.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/using-cisco-wcs-with-microsoft-ias/ and done the same.
    I dont't agree with "on the "Encryption" tab and clear all the checkboxes except "No encryption" - wants an encryption connection but this didn't work till in user's properites in AD permit "Reversible encryption". This is not what that I want.  Would I need to generate ssl-cert for the wcs as wroted this?http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/7.0MR1/configuration/guide/hard.html#wp1042471
    or doing smth else? thx

    Camera is only supported for use with CUVA. Any other application attempting to utilize the camera is not tested and is not supported.

  • WCS very sluggish

    I'm working on a new installation of WCS (7.0.172) and it is extremely slow. I haven't got my permanent license (should be in by tommorow), so maybe it has something to do with the evaluation licenses. The server itself (Windows Server 2003 R2, 32 bit) is running very fast. (Single processor, 4GB of RAM). Memory utilization is fairly low. I have added an MSE to the system, the maps for 2 floors, and one controller, but other than that is it brand new. Any ideas? When I go to the server diags all of the pages there are quick.

    No idea.
    It could be the server itself being slow for some reason (check the process manager when WCS is being used to see any cpu usage) or it could be that snmp traffic is slow on the network because of high retransmissions or broadcast storm or whatever else.
