WCS WLAN template interface fields

Hi,
I am currently working on WCS. I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me clarification on the following when creating a WLAN template on a WCS.
Under the General Tab -
- Interface
- Egress Interface
- Ingress Interface

In WCS software release 4.0.96.0 and later releases, you can configure multiple WLANs with the same SSID. This feature enables you to assign different Layer 2 security policies within the same wireless LAN. To distinguish among WLANs with the same SSID, you need to create a unique profile name for each WLAN.
For the further description for Configuring WLAN Templates following URL may help you

WCS WLAN Override

Hello,
I have a WCS with version 4.0.97.0 and two controllers with version 4.0.217.0. and two models APs: AIR-LAP1242AG-E-K9 and AIR_LAP1131AG-E-K9.
The problem is that I am unable to configure the templates WCS WLAN Override.
I can set the controllers but when I try to sync through the WCS => Controller Commands => Configuration Commands => Refresh Config from Controller, it does not work fine and it deletes or change the WLAN Override.
What can I do? An upgrade?

Hi,
updating maybe solve your issue but when you upgrade to a version beyond 5.x "WLAN Override" is no longer supported, I think.
You have to use "AP-Groups" to override to default setting.
This works perfect for me (Using WCS 5.2.130.0)

How to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?

Question: How to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?
Hi
Does anyone know how to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?
I want the link to always display the word "Cities".
But the URL will change with each child page.
Here's what I've got so far . . .
Cities
Thanks so much!

NOTE: This is to go into the TEMPLATE
Your best bet is to keep the hyperlink OUT of the editable Field and to make the HREF attribute of the link editable.
This would go in the head of your document:

This would go where you want the link to appear:
<a href="@@(href)@@">cities</a>
THE BETTER WAY: You can either paste these quotes into the appropriate places in your template or you can insert:
<a href="#">cities</a>
and click inside the opening <a> tag.
Then go to Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
In the dialog box "Editable Tag Attributes" you should now see "Choose which attributes of this A tag should be editable."
If HREF is not showing in the drop-down, do Add and put it there.
Check the box to Make this attribute editable.
Give a name for this editable attribute (if you have more than one on a page, you will want it to be understandable, like "cities" for your cities links).
Make sure it is of Type URL
If you want a default URL in place, put one in the Default field.
Then push OK.
To use it, on each page, do Modify > Template Properties... choose the property to edit, and put the new URL in the entry field.
Press OK.

Strange Behavior In Defining A Template Interface -- Bug/RFE

Hello.
This is a bit of a bug. I wanted to define a "template" interface. If you follow this sequence of steps, you may see this odd behavior:
In a class diagram, insert a new Interface.
Add a template parameter to that interface. Now, the display of the object has not changed.
Right-click the interface, and under "Show", select "As Icon".
Right-click again and under "Show" select "As Non-Iconic Class".
Now the interface is displayed as a "Template Class" on the diagram, with its parameters visible. This comes about since the Modeling Palette only contains a tool to draw a "Template Class", which creates a class only and not an interface.
Is this behavior somehow intentional or expected?
Is there any bug reporting tool for such reports? Or is posting on this forum sufficient to constitute feedback on a bug?
Thanks in advance.
- Steven Coco.

Hi.
I am not aware of another notation: the display given by JSE (after making it display the parameters) is all I would expect -- the UML superstructure just says that a templatable element has the dashed-outline box listing its parameters. Now, the display of the parameters can be suppressed, but I would have expected in that case a more direct "Hide or Show Template Parameters" option for the element. And in fact, I'd say that a display option like this is really what this boils down to: there's no option to hint JSE to display the parameters; and you'd have to go a round-about fashon to make them appear.
And my display does still show <<interface>> after geting the parameters to appear.
Thanks!

897VAW: Cannot add Allowed vlans to Trunk on WLAN-GigabitEthernet interface

Hi,
I am trying to configure the Access Point module on my Cisco Router (897AVW), however I am unable to route / ping between the router and the AP.
In a few examples I've seen, the wlan-GigabitEthernet interface has the command:
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,1002-1005
or
switchport trunk native vlan 2
I have tried both and although the router doesn't error, show-ing the config, neither commands have taken.
Is there something I am doing wrong or is this a bug in the IOS?
To save making this post long, my latest running configs are on my blog:
Router: http://www.thingsgeeky.walker.uk.com/?p=3781
AP: http://www.thingsgeeky.walker.uk.com/?p=3781
Many Thanks

Virtual template interface vs Dialer interface?

Hi all,
I am little confusing about virtual template interface and dialer interface. I understood that both of them are logical interface and will be mapped to physical interface dynamically. What is different? When would I use virtual template interface or dialer interface?
Please suggest too.
Thanks a lot,
Nitass

hi
AFAIK we use virtual template in L2TP scenarios where you will have LAC and LNS .
the configs related to VT comes in LNS which is ur local network server for your remote clients from where the L2 tunnel gets orginated.
And about your dialer interfaces we use them very frequently in most of the situations like where you require to club 2 Physical isdn lines and to make use them as a single pipe or using single isdn line and connect it to 2 different locations using 2 B channels using 2 dialers...
if you need to know more about them would suggest to check out this link which will give fair idea about them..

What is virtual template interface

hi all
Please explain me what is vitual template interface and when should used.how can someone used it to bind physical intfaces under virtual templte int?

Hi,
A virtual template interface is used to provide the configuration for dynamically created Virtual-Access interfaces. It is created by users and can be saved in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
Once the virtual template interface is created, it can be configured in the same way as a serial interface.
To create a virtual template interface that can be configured and applied dynamically in creating virtual access interfaces, use the interface virtual-template command in global configuration mode.
Virtual template interfaces can be created and applied by various applications such as Virtual Profiles, virtual private dialup networks (VPDN), PPP over ATM, PPP over Frame Relay, protocol translation, and Multichassis Multilink PPP (MMP).
Following are FR and ATM examples:
interface Serial1/0.1 point-to-point
bandwidth 128
frame-relay interface-dlci 51 ppp Virtual-Template1
class FRTS
interface ATM1/0.52 point-to-point
ip vrf forwarding customer
pvc 101/52

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.

WCS AP Templates help. Vlan Override Issue

Hi all,
WCS ver 5.2.110.0
When I create a LWAP template, to apply a WLAN override to all my APs, the WLAN I'm looking for is not in the list. Previous WLANs are listed, that are no longer resident on the WLC4404. The current WLAN configured in the WLC does not show up in the list.
I've removed and re-added the WLC a few times to no avail.
Anyone with WCS experience ever see this issue?

Hi Wayne,
One thing to consider is that is WLC 5.x versions, WLAN Override has been replaced with the "AP Groups" feature;
Creating Access Point Groups
After all access points have joined the controller, you can create up to 150 access point groups and assign up to 16 WLANs to each group. Each access point advertises only the enabled WLANs that belong to its access point group. The access point does not advertise disabled WLANs in its access point group or WLANs that belong to another group.

WCS AP Template - Failed to find AP

I have WCS ver 4.1.83.0. I'm trying to apply an AP template to my APs. But when I try to search the APs by using Floor Area, I'm getting error saying "Failed to contact server. Please make sure you are logged in and have network connectivity.". (See attachment for screenshot) But I can search by All APs, and the APs will show up. Anyone can help?

Humor me here. Go to configure controllers and run a refresh config from controller. If it responds with a "WCS updated but not all fields were completed because they failed validation" or something like that, then I have seen a very similar issue. Go into the code after you stopped the database server and up your var binds per pdu to like 100. Then if you are using any form of VPN tunnel to the controllers also reset the listening device in your server IP stack. Restart WCS and see if that solves your problem. I had a similar problem about 4 weeks ago on 5.1 code and this resolved it.

WCS WLAN Override Mismatch

Our wireless network has gone through several changes over the past year. We now only have 3 wlans. I usually created AP templates and enable WLAN override to select which APs get which wlans. WCS does not however seem to be updating with the WLCs. My only options are 3 wlans which no longer exist. I've tried restarting the service and rebooting the server. I've also tried building new templates but no luck. Anyway to get WCS to rebuild this list from the wlcs?
I'm using v 4.1.91.0,
Caveat for 4.0.100.0
CSCse42296-If a template for a given WLAN profile exists in WCS and WLAN is modified out of the band of the controller, the template is not updated to reflect the new settings.
Workaround: Make any desired changes to the WLAN settings in WCS and then apply them to the controllers.
Seems to be my problem though. I am unaware of how to change wlan settings through WCS however.

Solved, I actually had to go into my WLC's, delete all WLANs, then go back into WCS and rebuild them under the controller template section.

Adobe Acrobat as a server to create PDF using PDF templates and field values

I'm writing a web page to create a PDF using fields that we ask for them in the screen.
My idea is:
1. Ask for field values (text values and a photo) in my web
2. Run Adobe Acrobat to load a PDF template (PDF form) and mix with the field values
3. Create a final PDF mixing values and template
4. Show to document to the user in his client web browser. I guess the only way to do that is to create the PDF on a server with Adobe Acrobat Pro and send to the user browser a JPEG that will represent the PDF: If I do this operation in the PDF visor at the client browser, the problem is that it will will be mandatory to install Adobe Acrobat in each cliente because only this visor can manage javascript.
Can you tell me if this idea is correct? It is possible to use Adobe Acrobat on a Server to create PDF when some proccess needs?

and what other Adobe product o procedure can we use to do that?
I only need to create a PDF mixing PDF Templete, field values and javascript.
Thanks for your help.

Static Interface Fields

public interface interface {
     static public field = 1;
     public void methods();
when is this correct to use in the OOP/Software Pattern paradigm?
I thought interfaces were only there to define behaviors (i.e. methods)
What are static fields doing here?
Why are static methods not allowed in interfaces while static fields are?
Thanks

public interface interface {
     static public field = 1;
     public void methods();
}Indded it should be public static final (i.e., constants). The compiler supports not specifying final, and adds it automatically, but one should make that explicit.
when is this correct to use in the OOP/Software
Pattern paradigm?Unlike the previous posters, I don't find that bad against OO principle.
If a constant is logically related to the capabilities defined by an interface, it's not a bad thing in itself to declare the constants in the interface's namespace.
public interface HairDressable {
public static final int BLONDE = 0;
public static final int RED = 2;
public static final int BLACK = 3;
public void haveHairCut();
public void haveColorChanged(int newColor);
public int getHairColor();
}All classes implementing the interface automaticaly see the constant, and can refer to it without prefixing by the interface name. public class PomPomGirl implements HairDressable {
public void haveColorChanged(int newColor) {
    if (this.favoriteTeam.getName().equals("Red Socks") && (newColor!=RED)) {...}
}Any class not implementing the interface can also refer to the constant, by prefixing with the interface's name, as in public class RedTeamFanClub {
public void makeUp(PomPomGirl pomPomGirl) {
    pomPomGirl.haveColorChanged(HairDressable.RED);
} What IS bad is to have a class implement the interface only for the sake of referring to the variable without prefixing, like public class HairDresser implements HairDressable {
public void handleFancyLady(Bimbo bimbo) {
    bimbo.changeColor(RED);
// Dummy implementation of method that should belong here
public void haveHairCut() {}
public void haveColorChanged(int c) {}
public int getHairColor() {return BLACK;}
I thought interfaces were only there to define
behaviors (i.e. methods) I would say "to advertise capabilities".
Here both changing the color and getting the current color are capabilities that involve a notion of color that is common to all HairDressable implementing classes. I deem defining this notion in the interface itself makes sense.
(OK, defining this notion as a bunch of int constants is not very well engineered, but let's keep the discussion focused).
Now there's the pragmatic approach too : if you define constants in your interface, you run the risk that a bad programmers will someday implement the interface only to lazily refer to the constant.
But you run that risk with abstract classes too - yes, I've seen that!
Why are static methods not allowed in interfaces while
static fields are?Only static final fields, which makes a difference.
Static methods don't advertise the capabilites of an object. And they can't be overridden.
Neither does a constant, in itself, but there's a point in defining the constant in the scope where it makes the most logical sense.
For completeness, note there's an RFE on the BugParade to add statis methods to interfaces (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4093687.html).
As I understand it, and although I don't support it, I think there's a point in defining a static method and its implementation in an interface, so as to, in the same vein as for the constants, put in the interface's scope a method whose implementation logically has a meaning for all implementing classes of the interface
(I'd say such methods are rare enough not to deserve a language change).
But it seems ugly (and fortunately impossible at that point) to add the notion of "abstract static methods" that an interface could declare and all implementing class would have to implement.

Template header field

Hello all,
I have been trying to get a field into the template header and after reading several other posts I found one that works.
<?if@inlines:PARTY_NAME!=''?>For: <?PARTY_NAME?><?end if?>
However, when I run it I don't get any of my detail fields. I do get my summed fields, which is confusing as well.
If I take out the header field (above), I get my detail and summed fields.
Thanks for the help.

Concatenate interface fields to Text Field in interactive forms

Hi experts.
I'm looking for solution.
I created adobe interactive form displaying in ABAP WebDynpro, using ZCI layout
I want to display sample text like: Hello mr. John today is monday. - John and monday are variables from interface.
But I have problem with this. Its possible concatenate string values binding to one UI element?
I was tried initialize script (FormCalc, JavaScript) for TextField bud, it don' t work. something was bad.
For example I have defined Global field in form interface and concatenate value in initialize runtime, it works for ABAP callings from front-end.
But when I show form from WebDynpro initialize runtime does not call from framework.
Can some body help me.
Or write same sample, thank you !!!!!!!

Hello Peter,
use a single TextField and concatenate the string before putting it into the context. FormCalc or JavaScript won't be needed then.
A good way to determine where the problem resides is to create an addition WD based
TextView and display the same data there. If it shows up with data there and with no
data in the form, then the problem resides in the form rather than in the WD context.
Best regards,
Thomas
