Wireless Network Management with Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Profile

Could anybody explain me about how Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Network Name (Network Profile) ? Configuration will be pushed to Windows 7 Pro from Wins Server 2008 R2.
Objective: Multiple office locations will have different SSIDs and when the laptop user travels one location to another, he/she could connect to wireless networks at any offices without any configuration change but utilizing "Automatically use my Windows
logon name and password (and domain if any.)" setting in EAP MSCHAPv2 properties.
Network Name: Enterprise
SSIDS: SFO-WIFI, LAX-WIFI,CHI-WIFI,NYC-WIFI,
Network Type:Access Point
Security Type: WPA2-Enterprise
Encryption Type: AES
Network Authentication Method: Microsoft:Protect EAP(PEAP)
My question is: (1) Will Windows try all the SSIDs in order to get connected to the Wireless Network at the office? (Let's say, user is in NYC, but will Windows try to find SFO-WIFI SSID first, wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to LAS-WIFI SSID,
wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to CHI-WIFI and finally tries NYC-WIFI SSID and found the SSID in the beacon from Access Point and authenticates through RADIUS?
(2) If the answer is YES, what is the waiting time/timeout setting for one SSID before moves on to another?
(3) If the answer is NO, what is the process to get user connected to NYC-WIFI SSID when he/she is in NYC office within the range of that SSID?

Hello Ninjago_2224,
About the multiple office location have different SSIDs, does the location A has the signal used in
location D?
Please go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
, and then click Manage wireless networks.
The windows will try to connect to these networks in the order listed.
Please check if the four SSID pushed by Windows Server 2008 is listed as mentioned above.
If the location A have the location D SSID and the location D SSID has higher priority, the Windows will connect to
location D SSID.
So about the question 1, the Windows will try the SSID in order.
About the question 2, I can’t find the accurate time that test one SSID and move to another. But based on my test, it is very fast.
For more information, please take a look at the following article.

Wireless network management solution

We are running a pilot project to deploy a centralize wireless solution for our campus. The pilot consists of only about 20 Cisco1200 access points. We are in need of Network Management solution to manage these access points. The NMS would have to pretty much behave like what we already have into place for our wired networks such as: alerts on snmp traps, thresholds settings, data capture, administration,etc, in general be able to proactively check possible shortcomings on the infrastructure and help to troubleshoot problems. Once we fully deploy the centrally controlled wireless network, there could be any way from 1200 to 1500 access points, so whichever system we choose must be able to scale to these numbers.
Im interested in knowing which wireless network management solutions are the preferred one from the audience on this forum. Your input will help me to narrow down possible options.
Thanks a lot for any information.

I would suggest that you go for the WLSE. CiscoWorks WLSE is a centralized, systems-level application for managing and controlling an entire Cisco Aironet WLAN infrastructure. For more information on this read

Authentication with Multiple SSIDs AP521G, using Autonomous

I have an AP521G access point that I am trying to setup authentication for multiple SSIDs. One SSID is for domain users with WPA/TKIP authentication to a radius server and the other SSID is for guest to have access to Internet with no authentication. Is there a way to setup both SSIDs on the AP for this configuration?

Security option for an SSID can be unique and can be configured when you configure a SSID or under VLAN . Note that each vlan is uniquely mapped to induvidual SSID.

Configure Enterprise Manager with multiple Listener

Configure Enterprise Manager with multiple Listener
I have created 2 listeners and connected my database with both the listeners. If I stop one listener then it automatically uses second listener vice versa. But facing problem in case of enterprise manager. If i stop first listener which is on 1521 port it is not connecting to another listener which is on 1522 port.
any help ?

Your potential problem is Enterprise Manager simply doesn't KNOW about that second listener. You can easily verify that when you look at the monitored targets.
Enterprise Manager also reconstructs automagically it's own tnsnames.ora! So, it doesn't connect to second -completely redundant and useless - listener, because the tnsnames.ora entry on the Management Sever is incorrect.
Simply because you didn't made sure OEM could discover the second -completely redundant and useless- listener.
I notice you apparently don't want to read documentation. Yet the only way to work successfully with Oracle, and to become independent, is to read that documention.
Apart from that you should be able to find agentca.bat on your OS with one command, so, yes, I pointed you to the documentation, yes, you can find agentca.bat.

Configure WAP4410N with Multiple SSIDS

I need to configure a WAP4410N for use on a small, very simple business network. There should be a corporate WLAN and a guest WLAN. The corporate WLAN should allow anyone connectd to it to access resources on the domain.
In front of the WAP is a cable modem/router and a basic Level 2 (web managed) switch. What do i have to do to segregate the corporate and guest networks.
I thought I would add the corporate WLAN to VLAN1 (assuming the default VLAN in the switch is VLAN1). Then I figured I could create the guest WLAN and assign it to VLAN2 which which will be controlled entirely by the 4410N (DHCP, DNS, etc.) Does this sound like the right way of going about things?
If not, can you please point me in th right direction?
Thank you,

That's right.If you are going to create a guest wireless network, or any additional SSIDs for that matter, you'll also need to create an additional vlan for the guest network. I've pasted below the 4 steps from the WAP4410N manual, and then as a final step you'll also need to configure vlans on your switch so that traffic on the guest wlan will be allowed a path on your network.
STEP 1
Click Wireless > VLAN & QoS.
STEP 2
To configure VLAN settings:
NOTE You can enable this feature only if the hubs/switches on your network
support the VLAN standard.
a. To enable VLAN, click Enabled.
b. Provide the following information:
• Default VLAN ID—Enter the default VLAN ID.
• VLAN Tag—Select Tagged to determine the associated VLAN from the
VLAN tag. The default is Untagged.
• AP Management VLAN—Specify the VLAN ID used for management.
• VLAN Tag over WDS—Select Enabled or Disabled as required.
STEP 3
To configure the QoS settings, enter the following information:
• VLAN ID—Enter the ID to assign to the VLAN.
• Priority—Select a priority from the list.
• WMM—To enable WMM, check the corresponding check box.
Wi-Fi Multimedia is a QoS feature defined by WiFi Alliance before IEEE
802.11e was finalized. Now it is part of IEEE 802.11e. When it is enabled, it
provides four priority queues for different types of traffic. It automatically
maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues based on QoS
settings (in IP or layer 2 header). WMM provides the capability to prioritize
traffic in your environment. The default is Enabled.
STEP 4
Click Save.
STEP 5
Configuration on a Switch running IOS
apply the following to the interface that the WAP4410N is connected to:
en
conf t
int
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,
end
*you'll also need to configure any interfaces that packets from the guest wlan will traverse, if you intend to permit guest traffic over them.

WVC210 Camera selects wrong wireless network ... How to select wireless network? (multiple networks)

I have a WVC210 camera that works fine wired.
But I can not use it wirelessly, because on startup it connects to the wrong wireless network. All of my neighbors have wireless networks, so there are six wireless networks within range of the camera, it is therefore not suprising that the camera might select the wrong one first.
So.. how do I specify the wireless network that I want my camera to connect to?
I have tried various experiments, such as disabling all security on my wirless networks, but the WVC210 camera still selects the wrong wireless network.
I can tell that it is going to the wrong network, because after DHCP completes on my camera, the resolved IP is not from the subnet of the wireless network in my house.
For comparison, I found the PDF for a Linksys WVC54GCA it is possible to select from all available wireless networks... But I can't find a way with my WVC210 to select from all available wireless networks and stop the WVC210 from defaulting to the wrong wireless network.
Is there a way to list the available wireless networks and specify a chosen wireless network with the WVC210
For reference search for "select wireless" in the following PDF to see how this is acomplished with the Linksys Wireless G camera:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobheadername1=Content-Type&blobheadername...
What is the equivalent technique for the WVC210?

Hi,
I bought linksys wireless ip camera wvc210 four years back. I lost camera installation CD. I tried to search it on internet but failed. Can you send me the link from where I can download or email me at [email protected]

Problems with multiple idocs in one file ( Inbound file )

HI,
Thanks in Advance for your suggestions.. Highly appreciated.
We have problems with multiple IDocs in one file.
We are using XIB ( Amtrix ) as Middleware to receive the files.
Curretenly When the file contains one IDoc then there is no problem. IDoc is created and everything is ok.
If file contains two IDocs ( for example two messages ORDERS and DELVERY ) then it is creating two IDocs but both IDocs contains ORDERS plus DELIVERY segements information. That is the problem. Some how SAP unable to differentiate the IDocs in the file.. But it knows that how many idocs are there in the file..because it is creating exact number of idocs.
We are using TRFC port ... Do I need to change it to File port..
When we have more than one idoc do we need set any parameter in the file ...

Thanks for the swift response. Always ideas are useful.
As of now , Middleware cannot split the file.
Thing is SAP is creating two Idocs with different message types. Problem is First IDoc contains ORDERS message type but also DELIVERY segments as well. Second IDoc with DELIVERY message tyoe but ORDERS segments as well... This is the problem... I think we are missing some field activation in file for EDIDC record.
As far as I know file port supports the number of IDocs in one file.. Hope TRFC port also supports that

Solved. Travel router WTR54GS sharing one wireless hotspot connection with multiple devices

Hi, Passing on info I've learned.
The manual for the WTR54GS mentions being able to "...use multiple devices on a single hotspot account in a coffee shop or airport lounge...". See my original posting, "How to set up a wireless private bubble at paid hotspot? WTR54GS?", which ended in a dead end. I subsequently had a Linksys live chat session and the representative provided the solution. Perhaps worthy to be included in the Wireless FAQ?
Situation: you have access to a paid hotspot (hotel room, meeting room, etc.) and you want to share the connection with several devices, also wirelessly.
Solution: the WTR54GS can accept an incoming Internet connection wirelessely and re-broadcast that connection to form your own private bubble or network. (Note the WTR54GS can also accept an incoming Internet connection via Ethernet cable).
Linksys Live Chat pointed me to these web pages.
Go to the Linksys Easy Answers page: For a schematic of the concept of "associating the travel router to a hotspot (wirelessly)" search for Easy Answer ID# 4831
URL for above is http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4831&p_created=1167963305&p_sid=GmLnq3Zi&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NjImcF9wcm9kcz0wJnBfY2F0cz0xNzIxLDE3MjMmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0yLjE3MjMmcF9zY2ZfbGFuZz0xJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9V1RSNTRHUw**&p_li=&p_topview=1
There is a "configuration simulator" that shows the options for selecting a wired or wireless incoming Internet Type.
http://linksys.com/ui/files/WTR54GS/1.0_15/Setup-Wireless.htm
The hotspot has to be "open", that is transmitting an SSID and with no WEP or WPA key. It may have a log-in page accessible via a web browser, this is okay as this will be passed onto the connected device.
My personal application is to be able to connect a PDA that has a 801.2b wifi to a 801.2g wireless network. I haven't tried it but if this works, it will extend the useful life of my PDA in a "g" environment. Will report back once I find a "g" only environment. Comments?

There are two conditions which must be met in order to use your WTR54GS to "extend" an incoming, wireless internet connection:
The incoming connection must be unsecured. You have already covered this point;
The security settings on your WTR54GS can only be set to "WEP," or to "Disabled." If you choose "WEP," then you can use either a 40/64-bit, or a 128-bit key.
If those two conditions have been met, then it works fine -- says the guy who is sharing one paid internet conneciton in his hotel amongst three devices, and with co-workers in nearby rooms.

Network Locations not working with Multiple SSIDs

I've had a MacBookPro 15 for three years. Started with 10.5 and upgraded to 10.6. I just received a new MacBookPro 15 with Lion 10.7.
The Issue:
On 10.5 and 10.6 I use multiple network locaitons. One for work, one for Home and one for Roaming. I have a "Work" SSID at work and at Home. I also have a "Home" SSID at home.
So basically, when I'm home I can select "work" to be on my hardware VPN router and connect directly to the office. Then, when I'm not working, I can switch to the "home" location and automatically connect to my home network and not have big brother watching me surf the web.
In 10.7 this no longer works. All of the WIFI settings are them same in both locations. When I'm on "home" I add the SSID for home and it connects. I then turn off the wifi and switch locations (same as I do in 10.6). Then I turn WIFI back on, and it connects to my home SSID. I go to the wireless settings, and add the work SSID and delete the home SSID. I shut off wireless, change back to home and turn it back on. I go to wireless settings, and the only SSID is the one I added under the work location.
Has anyone else seen this change in behavior?
Dan

I prefer to continue the way I've been using it for 3 years rather than switch now. The work location has the WIFI adapter as primary so that the default gateway is the wifi network even if I have a network cable plugged in. This allows me to use my "work" network, but I can still share content with my local home network and also print to my local printer (not on my work network).
So, this solution really doesn't work for me. And yes, I know you can only connect to one at a time, but again, those are not the only settings that I change when switching locations. Those are the only settings that are broken.

Prioritize data on one SSID on an autonomous AP with multiple SSIDs

Hello,
I have a standalone AP(AP1261N) which is configured with 3 SSIDs.I would like to prioritize any data flow on SSID 1 for example so that users on SSID 1 are always functional independent on what is happening on the other SSIDS.
Then have the SSID 2 with a lower priority and SSID 3 lowest priority.
Each SSID is associated with a vlan.
I have seen some posts describing that this can be done using QOS associated with the different vlans.
Could someone please explain how I could configure the AP to do so?
I am using Command line.
Thank you

Hi Kavi,
Here are the few important points you need to understand when it comes to Autonomous AP QoS (this is extract from the link provided by Scot in above).
The QoS implementation for wireless LANs differs from QoS implementations on other Cisco devices. With QoS enabled, access points perform the following:
•They do not classify packets; they prioritize packets based on DSCP value, client type (such as a wireless phone), or the priority value in the 802.1q or 802.1p tag.
•They do not construct internal DSCP values; they only support mapping by assigning IP DSCP, Precedence, or Protocol values to Layer 2 COS values.
•They carry out EDCF like queuing on the radio egress port only.
•They do only FIFO queueing on the Ethernet egress port.
•They support only 802.1Q/P tagged packets. Access points do not support ISL.
•They support only MQC policy-map set cos action.
•They prioritize the traffic from voice clients (such as Symbol phones) over traffic from other clients when the QoS Element for Wireless Phones feature is enabled.
•They support Spectralink phones using the class-map IP protocol clause with the protocol value set to 119.
Also it is important to understand what type of traffic get impacted by AAP QoS. When you configure AAP for QoS it will primarily affect downstream traffic from AP to Client (No control over traffic coming from wireless client to AP - where priority will determine by WMM UP of clients traffic)
As you can see in the above, only FIFO available on ethernet egress (from AP to rest of your network) & then depend on how do you configure network switch ports connected to these AP (either trust DSCP or COS) it will determine how QoS maintain within your wired network.
In unified wireless enviroment you can classify each SSID with different QoS profile (Platinum, Gold, Silver & Bronze) & control what is the max level of QoS priority packets will get in each SSID. But in autonomous world it is not straightforward like that.

[SOLVED] Network Manager with iPhone 3G S

OK, so work got me a shiny new iPhone 3G S today. When I'm being paid to play with it, I'll give it a shot
Anyway, I've successfully paired the iPhone over bluetooth with Arch on my laptop, which creates the bnep0 network interface. If I run dhcpcd on this interface, the iPhone gives me a DHCP lease in the 192.168.20.x subnet, and after configuring the opendns nameservers, I'm successfully tethered to the iPhone with full network connectivity
Is there a way I can get Network Manager to do the 'dhcp' and 'nameserver' parts for me? In the nm-applet GUI, there's no option for specifying interfaces or anything just "wired" (eth0) and "wireless" (wlan0) as well as the VPN, 3G etc tabs.
Also (I know someone wants to mention this), I am already aware that bluetooth is going to be speed limiting, but this connection will generally only be used for SSH sessions back to the office, so I don't really care about that. I'm happy to use bluetooth to reduce the number of cables required - already have external mouse, external hard drive, power supply and serial cable when I'm at a client site, I don't really want a USB cable to the iPhone as well. Unless Network Manager can't do this over bluetooth, but it can over USB, then I'll concede on the extra cable.

Here's instructions for Ubuntu, I doubt there will be many discrepancies between Ubuntu and Arch though. Just translate the apt-get crap with the appropriate yaourt or pacman command.
http://undulynoted.net/2009/06/tether-i … -required/
Ubuntu:
Why oh why does apple hardware suck so hard with linux. You will get constant disconnects if your phone is more than a few feet away from the computer. But alas, it is still faster than pdanet or iphonemodem2.
If you are not on a mac congratulations, you have had fewer headaches.
Open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install blueman bluez-compat
This will remove wcid which hopefully isn't a problem for most of you.
It will ask you to restart, please do.
Once Ubuntu is back up click on your bluetooth icon in the upper right (which is now managed by blueman)
IMPORTANT: Right click on the bluetooth icon and choose local services. Make sure to click the radio box that says "Network manager" instead of "blueman" under the network pane. This will allow Network Manager to take over the controlling of your connection (which is good). REBOOT AFTER THIS STEP!
Go to the bluetooth settings in your iphone (Settings > General > Bluetooth) and make sure they are on.
Hit the search button in blueman and you should see your iphone after a few seconds.
WARNING: This is where it gets flaky on the macbook pro. Best results I have has is to highlight the phone in blueman and hit "Bond"
Choose to auto generate a pass on the next option. Next. Now wait for the iPhone to ask you to type in the passphrase. Type in the 4 digit one that blueman gives you. VERY IMPORTANT. While they are joining eachother keep you eye on the computer. It will ask you if you always want to trust the iPhone (device name). Hit Always or else you will have trouble.
Always initiate the connection from the iPhone. In the bluetooth settings on the iphone you will now see your computer name listed and the words "not conencted" next to it. Click it. Wait a few and it will hopefully say connected. Look back to blueman and you will now see status bars on the iphone. Right click on your iphone in blueman. Choose "Setup". Network access point is click by default so just hit "Next".
Now head over to Network Manager and you should see "Auto benp0″. Click it to connect and give it a few to generate an IP. DONE enjoy surfing the internet through your data plan without jailbreaking. I have noticed quite a few speed gains over pdanet. Also, i noticed I got better results when i used openDNS's servers (208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222).
If you have done everything correctly and Network Manager won't take over the connection of you can see it and it says "not managed" or something of the sort you need to check out the following:
Open terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
see if you have bnep0 located there. if you do, comment out or delete that line. and reboot your machine.
