Wireless LAN Solution Engine: discover fails !!!

I tried to discover 3550-Switche with our Cisco WLSE V2.5. Two 3550 devices working fine (V12.2.(8)EA1)+(V12.2.(9)EA1).
Other 3550 devices with V12.2.(13)EA1 didn't respond. I don't know why. (same config)
-I checked the SNMP-connection with the WLSE query
tool. Works fine!
-ACL ist activ but the WSLE IP-Address ist permited.
Works fine with two devices.
Thank you in advance
Arno Hagedorn

I checked the switch with the snmp query tool.(IP and hostname.domain-name) -works fine-.
All switches I'am interrested can be reached with the tool.cdp an snmp is enabled on all switches.
I discovered two switches:

Wireless LAN Solution Engine 2.5

Hi,
we have still this box from Cisco, and we are looking at replacing it.
What is the product we should use to replace it? Seems that Cisco now has several options.
Jorge

Hi Jorge,
since we have no information regarding you wireless environment here a short overview.
For WLAN Management you have two choices:
● WLSE
● WLC / WCS
The WLSE manages the autonomous APs. This means these APs have a IOS running and if the management station fails, they are still working.
Therefore the WLSE is useable in decentral management environments and WAN links!
The WCS manages Lightweight APs. These APs get their software (not IOS) from the WLC firmware and they are upgraded via WLC upgrade. These APs are NOT autonomous. If the WLC fails the APs stop working.
The WLC is the best solution for central managed environments without the problems that WAN links may gice you. Remember: If a WAN link fails the attached APs stop working.
The WLCs can run in a master/slave mode for redundancy, but this will drive your costs up!
If you have many WLCs running in different locations you can manage them with the WCS!
On the other hand in large central deployments the WLC / WCS may reduce the usual mainteneance like AP Softwareupgrade, setup and enable RF Management and some other tasks.
Of course you can deploy IOS to the APs with the WLSE, but you have to copy the IOS Image to the WLSE, create a job and check wether all devices succeseeded. Within the WCS Upgrade the APs get the appropiate sotware autmatic!
In WLSE you have to setup and enable RF Management manually.
To get the long story short: Have some thougts on you deployment:
● Central
● Decentral
How Many APs do you have per location! Better plan two WLCs for redundancy per management domain and location! At the moment one WLC can manage 100 APs. So you should think about the cost for managing 500 APs in a redundant manner!
Actual WLCs can manage up to 12, 25, 50 or 100 APs per Controller, depending on the type of WLC you have ordered. The WLC connot be upgraded from e.g 12 to 100 APs!
One WLSE can manage up to 1900 APs in a WAN deployment (i know data sheets stating 2500, but a costumer of mine gets problems with 1900+ in a live environment).
How many time do you spend in "lower level" work like AP Upgrades, AP configuration, RF Management? In a large campus a WLC might give you some advances in combination with wireless phones, configuring QoS through predefined classes and so on.
The WLSE gives you the more granulary acces to the wireless network!
I guess this should be enough for the moment.

Good Luck.

Seeking advice for Wireless LAN solution

I have a site that has a pipeyard in which I am considering covering with Wireless LAN. The transport vehicles that roam the pipeyard have terminals which currently use cellular cards & VPN to connect to an app server that is updated with stock that they move. The server is actually in an office adjacent to the pipeyard. The cellular coverage is poor and the connection drops are frustrating to the operators. For this reason, I am considering covering the area with Wireless LAN and replacing their cellular cards with 802.11a/b/g radios. The pipeyard has no obstructions. The area is outdoors and is about 122 acres in size.
Does anyone have suggestions about what Cisco solution could be applied to this pipeyard so that the mobile operators can maintain continuous connection to their server as they move about the yard?

For starters, you'll need to use mesh access points. You have the following choices:
Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Lightweight Outdoor Access Points

Wireless LAN Management

Members,
Any suggestions as to which is the best WLAN management application to use for AP 1200s?
Our WLAN Network is small at the moment but could grow a lot bigger.
I would like to try Cisco Wireless LAN solution Engine, but unfortunately they do not make available an evaluation copy.
So, any ideas?
Regards,
Martin.

Martin,
I am aware of a solution that effeciently manages, moitors and helps in mass-configuration of small and medium sized WLAN infrastructure including all Cisco Accesspoints, Switches and routers.
If you are interested send me an e-mail at [email protected] I can refer you to the appropriate contact. They do provide an evaluation copy.

Cheaper solution for a 5508 wireless lan based

Hello, our wireless lan is based on a single 5508 (It's not HA). We would like to use a cheaper solution as a backup if this 5508 falls. Could 2504 works?
In short words, we have two RAP's that are connected in a hp switch and all ap's are connected to these rap's. Same for wlc, it's connected to switch

Have you checked Radio Shack? The staff are pretty knowledgeable about what you need to connect MBPs to TVs. Their cables are way less than $300.

Domain Logon fails using wireless LAN

Hi Sir,
I am setting up an ACS server to authenticate the wireless LAN users using PEAP MS-CHAPv2for one of my existing customer. They need to login to domain whenever they need to access to the network
On the wireless client's end, the OS is Xp and the client will use Windows XP wireless zero configuration. I have put in the necessary setting in order for it to support PEAP. I managed to get authenticated by checking against the passed authentications log found in the ACS.
However, the problem happens when I tried to reboot the desktop and Domain Logon appears, I was not able to logon to the Domain. I think I know the cause of the problem. It was because the wireless card is not authencated yet prior to the Domain logon screen.
How can I connect to the wireless network prior to the appearance of the Domain logon windows. There is no options for me to try in the XP wireless zero configuration to activate the wireless LAN before the Domain Logon windows comes out.
Thank you.
Delon

Even if still it does not work, ensure the following:
1) Change the logon credentials for the ACS services to use a domain administrator account. Often times the local member server administrator account does not have any rights on the AD.
a. Ensure the ACS services start with the Domain Administrator account.
b. Ensure you are able to log in to the server using this Domain Administrator account .
c. Ensure the Domain Administrator account (or the account with which the services start) have privileges to log on locally, Log on as a service and Act as part of the operating system.
2) Ensure the FQDN of all domain controllers is added to the DNS names.

Wireless lan Controller 4402 / ping dynamic interface failed

hi,
i've a problem with a Wireless Lan Controller 4402.
When i configure the dynamic interface on the my network , with wired lan
i don't reach (i use the ping command) the ip address of the WLC.
In my case (wired):
On my pc i've a ip 10.1.78.1 255.255.0.0 and dgw 10.1.1.1 (vlan721)
The lan WLC have a ip of management 10.12.2.4 /24 (vlan799) [dgw 10.12.2.1]
dynamic vlan 792 ip add 10.12.78.100 / 22 (vlan792) [dgw 10.12.68.1]
i ping these interfaces (10.12.2.4 and 10.12.78.100) and the ping is ok.
When i create a dynamic interface vlan 721 starting the problem:
dynamic vlan 791 ip address 10.1.1.240 / 16 (vlan721)
After this ......the ping on 10.12.2.4 and 10.12.78.100 don't respond very well
and i lose the 80-90% of the ping packages.
through the wi-fi instead I do not have problems.
the problem exist only via wired (cable).
Can you help me?
Thanks
FCostalunga

Hello,
Pinging the dynamic interface is officially not supported. The reason why is because the controller places a very low priority on ICMP traffic. Typically, you will not have an issue with doing so on your wireless network because this interface is basically a gateway for the client. However, from the wired network - the only interface designed to respond to pings 100% of the time is the management interface. Hope this helps!

Design Exercise - LAN Solution

I have an opportunity to gain employment with a network consulting firm. Part of the process is to take some information that goes through a mock RFP and come up with a design. It is an excellent way for them to see what I have to offer given all the channels available in coming up with a design. I believe in the process of collaboratoin and was hoping I could engage some willing individuals to work with me in creating a design for a LAN Solution, Wireless Solution and WAN solutions. I have until next Wednesday to put something together for a presentation next Thursday. So if you like practicing your design skills and would like to work with me on this excercise, I would greatly appreciate it.
The purpose of the excercise is not overerly technical in nature, but more high level. Here is the scenario:
Overview
The Widget International Group (WIG) is a prominent organization in the Upstate New York market. The WIG is looking to expand to a new regional office and build a new network. The network shall consist of high-availability, layer-3 routing, redundant, and fault-tolerant network equipment. Applications such as Voice over IP, Video over IP, WLAN, Voice over WLAN and possibly other leading edge applications may be utilized and, therefore, must be accounted for in this solution. The solution shall permit LAN segmentation via VLAN’s, and support VRF’s to avoid spanning tree issues. The solution shall support software modularity, to allow the switch software to be upgraded or downgraded with no service disruption, provide protected memory space for critical processes, and enable processes to be restarted independently of one another. Careful planning should be done to ensure that the WIG network has the flexibility to accommodate future applications. In addition to the solution parameters set forth in the following paragraphs, WIG would like the Contractor to review the overall functional requirements of the RFP and, coupled with the Contractor’s prior project experience, make recommendations on equipment and network configurations that may be overlooked in this document. All recommendations that are outside the requirements set forth herein, but may be of interest to WIG, shall be provided as an alternate solution and price. A separate Bid Form should be provided for each alternate solution and the Contractor shall state in their proposal which solution is most recommended for WIG and the reasons why.
The Contractor will be responsible for providing a turnkey design and installation solution based upon the parameters described. The design effort required at a minimum will include, but not be limited to:
Logical Network design presentation
Physical Network design presentation identifying all components to be sourced by Contractor or furnished by owner.
Description of diversity, redundancy and security aspects intrinsic to the design.
Identification of any impact the new design will have on existing environment configurations (i.e. redefining IP schemes). If it is prudent for WIG to make adjustments to their IP Schemes in their existing environment, then they will require support for this also.
Support for Open System Standards - The solution should be support open system industry standards, such as H.323, 802.1p and 802.1q, MGCP, SIP, TAPI, JTAPI, IPV4, IPV6, etc.
System Administration - Maximum flexibility for rapid, efficient, and cost-effective configuration changes, affecting personnel and associated IP telephone equipment through a standard browser-based interface.
LAN SOLUTION PARAMETERS
The complete data network core shall consist of two (2) chassis-based switches with redundant power supplies, two (2) supervisor-engines/CPU modules per switch and the appropriate quantity of line cards to support 10GB fiber uplinks to the edge switches in four (4) IDF closets. Uplink quantities are outlined in table 1 below. Core switches shall connect redundantly between each other, to the WAN equipment, as well as the edge switches in the respective TC’s. All 10GB uplinks shall be non-blocking. Edge switches shall be located in the TC’s in sizes and quantities required to support the number of users in that particular area. WIG desires a stackable edge switch.
There area total of 200 users.
10 Servers with basic services such as email, HR applications - CRM, and Active directory.

Hi Mheick,
since this is part of a hiring process, I don't believe this is the proper forum to ask for assistance. The potential employer wants to know what you would do.
Collaboration and team work are very important elements in the work environment but not for job placement. However, researching on the web or this forum to find useful information is all you need to do to develop your own solution.
And, if a company is expecting this as part of the hiring process, expect to be grilled over your RFP - if you can't validate your RFP and defend your choices .........
Best of luck. Regards,
Steve

Wireless Lan Specialization

I am studying for the Wireless LAN Specialization. I have gone through the on-line web seminars. What I would like to know is how do I judge when I am ready to take the test. Is there anyone out there that can give me a topical list of what is covered on the exam, since Cisco has negleted to do this?

I took the test in the later part of 2001 and at the time there wasn't even a time limit, however, a colleague of mine recently took it and was 'quite surprised' to discover the introduction of the 75 min time limit... I do concur with the the assessment that some of the questions seem to have the wrong recorded answers, as do many of the other people I have spoken to regarding this test, but more worrying was the fact that after failing the test at the first attempt, my colleague decided to sit it again there and then, went through all the preliminary bits and pieces with c/cards and what have you, then started the test to find that the 'timeleft' was about 10 mins (the time left over from the previous test!!) meaning that he had to rush through it and consequently failed a second time with another 35 bucks down the drain... It took a further 2 attempts before it finally decided to let him pass (each subsequent time sitting on a different PC - just in case the thing with the time re-occured), and he did take screenprints of the questions in the subsequent tests order to go through CCO and the training material in an attempt to prove that they were correct, but for the sake of 100 bucks (paid for by the company anyway) the amount of time it would have taken didnt seem worth it, and as you say, as for how you go about registering a complaint, we've absolutely no idea. For anyone thinking of taking the test, I would recommend 1) reading as much as you can on CCO and elsewhere about wireless, and dont just rely on the training material, because I saw a few questions that im quite certain were simply were not covered in it 2) If you fail the first time, change PC before you resit the exam 3) Print your answers, as you may well feel you want to check them when for no apparent reason you find you only get 72%. Oh, and best of luck.

Wireless Lan with Centrino

Hi!
I'm new in here and i'm using AL for about 3 months now. I installed AL on my Acer Travelmate 661LCI with Intels Centrino Processor. Now i try to install my wireless lan, but it doesnt work!
Intel doesnt support linux, so i decide to use Linuxants Driverloader. But i dont get it work, anyone tried it before?
Sure, i always tried to install Sourceforges NDISwrapper, but it also dont work! The error is, that i have a kernel with SMP support, and i dont know what this mean?
Maybe someone can help me, i dont understand linux so much, that i can solve this problem myswelf! i'm working on this problem since i ve installed arch on my laptop, arg!

My T520 has the same issue. Seems there's a pernicious, hard-to-find kernel bug that leaves some machines unable to boot via their UEFI firmware. There's no real solution right now, just a few work-arounds:
- Boot in legacy (BIOS) mode---you'll need to install a BIOS bootloader (e.g. Syslinux) to do so
- Downgrade to a previous kernel version
- Build the kernel yourself. It'll give you an appreciation for just how weird this bug is, and why it's persisted for so long. I just discovered after this most recent update that I don't even need to build a custom kernel (although I choose to anyway); strangely, the system boots even if I just grab the ABS sources for the vanilla kernel and run "makepkg -i" without making any changes to the PKGBUILD or kernel config at all.
Stranger still, the linux-lts package was updated at the same time, with the same effect---it doesn't boot. This despite being a completely different version.
Thanks for the reply.
I should have mentioned this too. Actually, from past few kernel releases, I am building my own kernel(just vanilla as u mentioned) and using them. Earlier I used to downgrade. But now with the new 3.14 releases, the "own kernel build" option is not working as well for me. Compared to problem with the earlier kernels, the system directly reboots just as soon as I select the option in the boot menu.
I use Arch as my base system which I customized from past 6 months. Hope this issue is addressed soon.

HP Officejet 6500, Windows XP and 7, wireless LAN security code is not accepted

The security code of my wireless LAN is not accepted by the HP6500A. According to the diagnostic software of HP a code consisting of more than 50 characters is required (the total number of characters can not be identified because the code isgoing on out of the window). The security code of the route consists of 12 characters. Resetting the printer is not solving the problem.
This problem was identified after rinstalling the software after problems with printing: connection with the printer was identified; message: "busy with printing", but no printing result at all.

Security codes can be in ASCII or HEX. I'm guessing that the diagnostics is reporting HEX and the printer entry is in ASCII.
You can try running the diagnostics SW on the Windows 7 computer. It might return the key in ASCII.
A good option is to get the password from somewhere other than the diagnostics. Maybe you stored it somewhere or wrote it down? Once you get it try to enter from the front panel.
Can I get a little information from you?
What router brand model?
What security mode are you using (WEP, WPA, WPA2)?
Which model of the 6500 do you have (6500 or 6500a)?

Sometimes it takes several posts back and forth to get to a solution - please be patient.

Hey guys,
I have purchased the Yoga 13 in U.A.E in last Feb. with AED4,999.00
But some programms does not work with Windows 8. So I am using Windows7 with multi-boot.
Guess you guys also have such problem.. eventually finding out the WIFI Driver & USB3.0 Driver.
Now, I have succeeded in installing both of them.
1. Wireless Lan Driver : Realtek RTL8723A Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter.
   The way I found this driver is... Download all the REALTEK driver in a designated folder.. of course uncompressed.
   And then using the contraol panel... updated the driver with the designated folder.
   Now it is working very well.
2. USB3.0 Driver
It was an easy game. I just have downloaded thee Intel USB3.0 Driver for Windows7... you could find it through google with easy.
And just installed it. It works very well.
=> You could download the file at http://me2.do/xKBVnWo3
