Wireless mobility between 2 WLC's

Hi all, when using 2 controllers, is it possible to sync the config between them automatically? or do you always have to do it on both manually?

I agree, pushing templates via WCS is definitely the right way to manage the WLCs. We have been asking about a feature that would allow you to compare two WLC configs for quite some time. I understand that WCS will have a feature soon that will help with that.
If you don't have WCS, you could always take a config you're confident with from a WLC and upload that to another WLC. You'll have to have that second WLC off the network of course and use the service port to accomplish this. Once you have the config on the second WLC, you just have to change specific settings (like system name, interface ip's, mobility members, etc.) before putting it back on the network.
No doubt more work that it should be...

  • Mobility between Cisco WLC and Meraki(other vendor)

    Is it possible that users can roam between Cisco WLC and other vendor wireless gear? Meraki keeps saying it is possible.
    They keep saying it is a IEEE feature and everone should support but I do not understand how?

    While theoretically possible with the adoption of capwap, it would require all the manufacturers to follow the specs exactly the same. Kind of like hearding cats, not impossible, but highly unlikely.. That's just my opinion

  • Anchor mobility between WLC 5508 and Aruba/Clearpass

    Hello. I have a question regarding the abiltiy to configure anchor mobility between a 5508 WLC and an Aruba controller. To date, my understanding is it has never been possible and I have never found any documentation that says it can be done.
    Scenario: My organization and a partner organization co-own a hospital. We coexist on a large campus, with each org having a number of buildings that the owning org maintains the network presence in. We also maintain back-to-back firewalls between us and do not hand-off any direct layer 2 interfaces to each other. However, the two orgs do partner to provide each others business SSID's in each other's WiFi networks using anchor mobility. Our current solution utilizes an A/M tunnel between my org's 5508 controllers and the partner orgs 2504 controller and we explicitly permit the tunnel traffic between partner controllers for A/M to work. Last year, the partner org retired some old WiSM's and changed their wireless solution to Aruba and recently implemented Clearpass. In order to maintain A/M with us they left a 4404 operational, but due to the newer code we were running they were forced to purchase a 2504. So now they are only maintaining a limited footprint in their network with a few Cisco AP's and the rest of their coverage areas use Aruba AP's and they have indicated that they want to completely retire their Cisco WLC's. Because we host some of their SSID's on our controllers and can tunnel them to their 2504, they get all of their WiFi traffic coming from our network, however my org can only connect to our SSIDs on their campus in certain areas.
    The solution I have been asked to provide is to find a way to continue providing some sort of anchor mobility services between our WLC's and their Aruba controllers. My org maintains that we do not want to simply hand them a layer 2 interface for security reasons, but they want our SSIDs to be available in all areas of the partner org's campus and vice versa. So far I have stalled the partner org's plans to retire their WLC's by telling them that retiring their WLC's will completely break WiFi between orgs, but they are adamant that some sort of A/M solution must be found.
    Is there any way to do some sort of A/M between a WLC and Aruba controller and if so, is there any documentation showing configuration examples etc?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    I do not think it will work. Even if it get working somehow, it will be operation nightmare to troubleshoot & fix a issue since both vendor will say it is NOT supported solution.
    What about if you ask them to advertise your SSID (assuming it is dot1x) on their APs as another SSID on their network, but pointing it to your RADIUS & DHCP for IP connectivity (you do not have layer 2 requiremnt for this & can do this as long as you have L3 communication between each other)

  • Compare and Contrast :- Mobile Networks(GSM/CDMA) and CISCO Wireless-Mobility

    Hi,
    I am a CCNA certified Electronics and Communications Engineering Graduate from India.
    Nowdays the market here is up in mobile networking driven by companies like Nokia-Siemens Networks, Ericsson, etc.
    Wireless Mobile Networks are all geared up for 3G UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) architecture.(in GSM).
    * My question is how are the above mentioned networks different from the Cisco Wireless Mobility concepts?
    * What is common in them?
    I know that these mobile networks are converting to packet-switched systems from legacy circuit ones.
    * Does cisco come in only as a backbone Routing and Switching hardware providerfor this area,
      Or does it offer a complete Unified End-to-End Solution in this domain?
    is the difference just size??

    Neal,
    I do not think that in a forum like this we will be able to provide you a full answer. I recommend that you contact your Cisco account team as they will be able to work through all of the details to your design and fill the requirements of your customer.
    A few things for you to look into and ask your account team.
    The CDMA2000 1x RTT gateway is the PDSN this gateway is very similar to the GPRS gateway
    The MWR 1900 is designed for an IPRAN network design and may or may not fall into what you have describe but your account team can help you with that
    The Cisco MAR3200 is a mobile router that is designed to route between various radio access methods such as CDMA or GSM or WLAN etc. It will also do mobile IP.
    Cisco has an extensive solution range for both the access gateways and back end services such as service selection authentication accounting and billing.
    What you are asking for can be done using Cisco products but, it is a complex network design so please contact your account team for full details.
    I am sorry I could not answer your question 100% but hope I have given you enough leads to get the design sorted

  • 7920 roaming between two WLCs

    hi,
    - i have two WLCs 4404 and 4402 in the same mobility group and all connections seem to be ok.
    - one ssid for voip.
    - two 7920 phones
    when i roam between the WLCs i will lose the connection.
    What should i configure on the WLC??
    thx

    Are you doing L3 mobility?
    If so, would configure the voice ssid for the same VLAN on both controllers to see if that works or not.
    Of course for mobility group setup, need the mac and IP configured on each contoller in that mobility group.
    Ensure that 3.02 is loaded on the 7920 phones.
    Would recommend 4.0.217.0 or later for the controller version.
    Refer to WLAN SRND for more info.

  • Can't establish wireless connection between the printer and computer.

    I recently upgraded my wireless to an Apple AirPort Time Capsule. I'm able to set up the printer via USB cable. And I'm able to set up the printer on the network via the Airport WPA utility. However I cannot establish a wireless connection between the computer and the printer. When I go to the printers window  in my system prefereces, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu. Only the USB version printer is listed and of course when I disconnect the USB cable it shows as offline.I've tried all the fixes on HP's support pages. I've tried reinstalling the printer on both the router and the computer numerous times. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the printer using the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download). And when I reset the printer to factory settings, then connect it to the computer via the USB, there is no installation software that pops up. Cant even find the **bleep** thing in "Finder". (I'm assuming that it should show up as some sort of external device.) I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network. (sometimes my computer will grab a connection with the next nearest network.) I've checked all the settings for the printer via the HTML configuration utility. I've even updated my Macbook software and restarted it multiple times. Note: the printer actually worked for a bit when I first switched routers, but the printer's wireless function went offline several times and then quit  altogether. Really frustrated that I bought another HP product thinking this time things would be different. HP is no help unless you want to pay $$ for a phone call. I'm about ready to take this thing out in the desert to use for target practice and never buy another HP product ever again.

    Hi , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with your LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer not showing on your Macintosh computer. I may have found some resources for you. 
    I have a few questions for you, so I can offer some additional assistance:Before you upgraded to the Apple AirPort Time Capsule, was the printer working wirelessly without any issues?
    When you say; 'I reset the printer to factory settings', how where you trying to do this? 
    I found some instructions from this post: How do I reset my Laserjet p1102w to its defaults, copied here for you:
    To restore the printer back to factory settings, turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and the cancel button (x button) then turn the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise. (When they say turn the printer off, I think they mean unplug the power cable.)
    "I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network."  Do you know if you are able to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS)?To access the EWS - Make sure that the Ready light () is on and that the printer is idle and silent.Press and hold the Cancel button (), and release it when the Ready light () begins blinking.The configuration page prints.Type the IP address or host name of the product in the address field of a supported Web browser, and then press Enter on your keyboardLet me know if this page loads 
    To answer a few more items you have listed:... When I go to the printers window in my system preferences, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu.This could be an issue with your print system, I recommend resetting the printing system and then Repair Disk Permissions - after that try to add the printer again.
    ... the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download)HP provides their software/drivers to Apple to be released through your Apple software updates. You can review this document on how to Install a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. Which leads into your next point...
    ... there is no installation software that pops upWhen you connect the USB cable your mac may still recognize the printer software as being already installed - check for apple updatesOn the Mac, click the Apple menu (), and then click Software Update, or click About this Mac, and then click Software Update. A list of available updates displays.
    ... Not seeing the printer in "Finder" From what I understand most printers will not show in Finder unless you install a memory card into a supported port on certain printer models, only then will it read it like an external device. A few more things you can check are that the new settings in the Apple AirPort Time Capsule are setup to allow the printer to communicate. There are several of these settings listed in this document; Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Issues.  HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer.  I did find 2 more documents that may offer some additional information as well;HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer - Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless NetworkAn 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer  Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or the details of what happened.  I look forward to hearing from you, hopefully with good news!   Thanks, 

  • Trouble setting up wireless printing between my Macbook Pro w. Mountain Lion 10.8.1 and my HP C4780 Printer

    Hi all,
    I'm having a frustrating problem trying to set up the wireless printing between my Macbook Pro 13" to my HP C4780 printer. I had no problem installing and configuring this before on my previous computer, a Macbook. However, when I got my new computer (the Macbook Pro), my wireless network wont show up when I try and install the wireless capability during the printer setup. I had to buy a new router and set up a new network around the time I got my new computer, so I wonder if this has something to do with it. My wireless network is a WPA/WPA2 personal, but so was my old wireless network with the old router and I didn't have a problem installing the wireless. I thought I might not have had the most up-to-date driver for the printer software, but I do. So, i'm stuck! Any thoughts??

    Go here and download all the manuals and read them on how to set up your printer.

  • Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000 issue

    My wife has a 4-year old MacBook Pro running 10.6 (can't get her to change...).  We recently had to replace her MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000--we've both used these for years.  We're having an issue with hers...the left button won't go "back" in Safari (or any other program for that matter) and I've tried everything, including assigning the proper keystroke to the button, etc.  When I look at her Microsoft Mouse preference panel, it does not show the correct mouse, having an extra button.  I've downloaded the latest version of their intellimouse software and it doesn't matter.  When I try to get mouse info from the preference panel it tells me it can't see a mouse connected.  Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    " When I try to get mouse info from the preference panel it tells me it can't see a mouse connected.  "
    Did you replace the USB receiver as well? The receiver needs to be paired with the new mouse.

    Hi widge-
    What you need will depend on which Macs are already wireless and which you will have to add.

  • Wireless connection between 2 buildings

    My office is in a small separate structure on my residential property about 100 feet away from my 2 story house (both buildings are mostly wood frame, a lot of windows).
    In the office is my computer system – internet access and a simple network:
    Cable Modem
    Linksys 2.4 GHz Wireless-B Router
    2 PC's with Wireless-B
    Mac Pro
    Everything works excellent inside the office building (using wireless for the network and wired for the internet).
    I just purchased a MacBook Pro for the house to access the internet and my files on my PC in the office. I tested it with the Linksys and just barely picked up some signal but mostly nothing.
    I tried a Netgear WNDR3300 - their latest dual-band, with 5.0 N and 2.4 G. A very nice unit, worked out of the box, but no real additional signal strength.
    I was thinking about trying 2 AirPort Extremes, one in the office building and one in the house.
    What is someone’s best suggestion on how to create a solid wireless connection between 2 buildings (about 100 feet apart), not necessarily Apple equipment, and short of running an Ethernet cable between the 2 buildings.
    I would like full wireless and wired access inside the office, and full wireless and wired access inside the house.

    Do you have direct line-of-sight between the two buildings?

  • Wireless Bridge between WAG120N and E1500

    I have my internet coming into my WAG120N and going out wirelessly. I want to setup a wireless bridge between this and an E1500, so I can connect my TV to the E1500 (via an ethernet cable) and have it access the internet. Unfortunatly I can run a cable from the WAG120N to where the TV is. So it I can get the E1500 wirelessly bridged to the WAG120N, I hope I can get around this issue.
    I have updated the firmware ont he E1500 to get Bridging support, but from what I can tell it only provides bridging via an ethernet cable. Is there away to bridge wirelessly?
    Cheers
    Mike
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. Linksys wireless routers don't support wireless bridging.
    2. Either install 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or tomato or buy a dedicated wireless bridge and connect the E1500 to the bridge. That way you can also use the wireless in the E1500 for wireless connections.
    3. Otherwise check power line ethernet. That's often a better and more reliable solution.

  • Wireless Bridge between 2 building

    Hi !
    I need a wireless bridge between a second building (across the street, about 100' direct) to our main building and a switch.
    Can anyone recommend me a good products/solutions.
    The purpose of this bridge is to connect the remote office via a small Cisco Switch with 6 computers, and 6 IP Phones w/video.
    Thanks !

    The 1300 comes in two flavors, one with internal antenna and the other with external antenna connectors. For the distance you indicated I would use the internal antenna model, it is rated for up to 1.25 miles and requires less accuracy in alignment than the YAGI antenna. I believe the spread of the signal is 15 degrees on the built in antenna.
    The YAGI could be used with the external antenna model but will limit your exterior coverage for users other than the remote bridge.

  • Is it possible to sync Lightroom and LR Mobile between two desktops?

    I have an Ipad, iPhone, Mac and Windows 7 PC.  I can sync LR Mobile between the iPad, iPhone and Mac OR between the iPad, iPhone, and Windows 7, but LR will not let me sync between all four.  Whenever I open LR on my Mac after syncing with my PC, it says that I either have to switch catalogues (which then deletes all of my mobile collections) or stop syncing that machine altogether.
    It seems like it should be possible to have a catalogue on my PC and then download my collections from LR Mobile.  Can I do this?

    Is it possible to check whether this functionality is in the roadmap for LR? I would love this feature - I have LR installed on 2 Windows machines and would like to sync my photos (and edits!) between these. It may be possible using Dropbox or similar service but it feels like this should be built-in to CC.
