WiSM2 7.4 and WCS

I having an issue with WCS and the new code 7.4 on my WiSM2 blade. When I try to refresh configuration from/to controller it fails. I just upgraded from 7.01 and it worked before the upgrade.
Is this not supported?
I am able to change configuration from WCS to the WiSM2 and it works fine just cant copy config.
Thanks
Steve

From the release notes, even the latest WCS does not support WLC code beyond 7.0. To be able to monitor your 7.4 WLC you'll need to migrate to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.1.12.

Adding a secure WLAN - WISM and WCS

I have a setup including a WISM and WCS which currently only runs a guest service using webauth to get online. The service (by request) is not secured over the air. I would like to implement a second SSID with security but before going the whole way with 802.1x I wanted to implement a half way house. Service will still only be a guest service but I want the air traffic secured.
So I guess my options are WEP (forget it) or WPA/WPA2.
My question is do I have to run this service with a shared secret that I then need to inform all users of in order for them to be able to connect to the service or is there a way to implement a WPA service that uses some kind of credential check against the already configured RADIUS (ACS) servers?
And if this is possible I assume there is no longer need for a webauth as this just seems to duplicate the login process.
Thanks for any pointers in advance
Paul

The best thing you can do is start with the Configuration Guides. If you don't have a test environment and have SMARTNET on the WiSMs/ WCS, utilize TAC to help you get up and going. I would also suggest utilizing a Cisco Partner to help with the initial implementation as well.
I would recommend upgrading your WiSMs and WCS to the latest versions and making sure configurations are the same across modules. I upgraded our WiSMs from 4.x to 7.0.98.0 and WCS to 7.x. Ran into a bug here and there but that is expected. Just make sure the wireless devices support those versions. If you are unsure, you can always work towards the AssureWave tested code. WCS 7.x should be backwards compatible (check the release notes just to verify). The Design Zone and Release Notes are your friend too.

Cisco CSM and WCS on same server

Hi,
Currently we are running Cisco CSM and Cisco WCS applications on different servers.
Please let me know can it possible to install Cisco CSM and Cisco WCS on one server.
Regards,

As per their datasheet, both CSM and WCS support VMware or can run as virtual servers. So it should be possible to implement both as virtual servers and run on the same physical server.

1230 Series LAP and WCS 6.0.199.0 Heatmap Problem

I recently upgraded from WLC 4.2.207.0 to 6.0.199.0 (WiSM), and WCS 5.2.130.0 to 6.0.196.0. All my heatmaps that contain 1231G LAPs are solid "maroon" (-35 dBm) in color. If I remove the 1231 APs from the heatmap selection on the right hand side, my coexisting 1131 and 1142's display their heatmaps properly. My maps are all CAD format (dwg) converted to .png's using WCS. My goal is to migrate to 802.11n in small steps which our Cisco rep said we could do. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, this is a bug in 6.0.199.0. The "fix" is to upgrade to 7.0.98.0 or 6.0.199.4. As you figured out, it only affects 1230 series APs, and only on the 802.11b/g side. Bug ID was
CSCti05687
Incorrect power unit was used on AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 and IR-AP1220-IOS-UPGRD.

802.11 n support in Wism and WCS

Is the new wless standard 802.11n is supported in current shipments of Cisco WLC 44XX and WiSM ( 6500 wireless controller card) ?
Also I need to know whether is is supported in WCS 4.1 ?

Hi Nalaka,
Yes, 802.11n is supported on the WISM and WCS starting with the following releases in the 4.2 train;
Release Notes for Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and Lightweight Access Points for Release 4.2.61.0
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn4200.html#wp302677
The following new features are available in WCS 4.2.62.0
802.11n support-The introduction of the Cisco Aironet 1250 series access point, a business-class access point based on the IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 standard. The access point offers combined data rates of up to 600 Mbps to meet bandwidth requirements. Cisco WCS display screens include a listing for configuring, managing, and monitoring 802.11n access points and their associated wireless LAN controllers.
The newest WLC and WCS 5.0 trains are now released as well :)
Hope this helps!

2 4404's and WCS how to add an addition 4404

We have two 4404's and WCS. The 4404's are almost maxed out. We have an addition 4404 which we would like to add to the group of 4404's. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

If both on-line 4404 share the same configs (particulary the SSID and other stuffs) then copy the config into the new one (make sure the new one is off-line so IP addresses won't clash).
Change the IP addresses of the new 4404.
Add into WCS.

WLC and WCS licenses

How many APs does wireless controller 5508 and WCS (version 7.0) supports?
Cheers,

Sorry for jumping in on the question with another question but it seemed the right place.
I have an AIR-CT5508-25-K9 WLC and +25AP license : L-LIC-CT5508-25A.
As far as I understand it the WLC should already have a 25AP license installed and with the adder license I should have a count of 50 APs.
However, after installing the adder license the count is still 25.
Could you please let me know if it's just something wrong in my reasoning or should a case be opened?
Thank you,
Barbara

MSE 3350 and WCS

Hi All,
I have the following getserver info from the MSE 3350,
The WCS ver. 7.0.172.0, the initial install documentation shows that the following ports needs to be opened on MSE to have successfull communications between WCS and MSE.
Can someone clarify this situation for me,.
1. From the MSE getserverinfo. the follwoing seems to be in "false" state.
HTTP : false
legacy HTTPS:false
but the communication between the MSE and WCS SOAP/XML needs HTTP/HTTPS opended.
Can I make any changes on the MSE through CLI to fix this issue. Unless this is not an issue.
2. I issued a netstat -tulpn command and I am not able to see certain ports not listening
Please see the attached text file.
Example :
TCP 443 for HTTPs
SNMP 161, 162
TCP 80
TCP 21 for FTP
TCP 16113 for MSE to WLC ( NSMP Protocol exchanges)
I am unable to see those.
Thanks
Let me know if this will cause an issue while i deploy the MSE into live production.

When you go throuh the script to install the MSE, it should ask you about using HTTP/HTTPS.
you can rerun the script from /opt/bin/setup.sh (please check my pathing on this)

Vlan management with WLC and WCS

I'd like to know if it is possible to use the same vlan for the management of the WCS and for configuring a wlan?
I try to make this lab and when I declare a dynamic interface that is in the same subnet as the WCS ip address, the reliability between controler and WCS is lost.

I know that I should not put servers on the same vlan as wireless client but I just want to know if it is possible or if Cisco implemented something to avoid this to understand why my lab didn't work with this configuration.
Thanks

WLC, WCS and WCS Navigator

I would like to know what is the difference between the Wireless Lan Controller and the Wireless Controller System.
Need I WLC if I want deploy WCS.
Can I use WCS without Wireless LAN Controllers?.
What is the diference between WCS and WCS Navigator?

You don't need a WCS server however you will require WLC's to control your Wireless WAP's. The WCS allows you to add multiple WLC's into one view along with floor plans and floor layouts and alerts. Without a WCS server you would have to manually login to each WLC controller to see what the WAP's are doing. It really depends on how big your site is and how many WAP's you have to deploy after a site survey is done.

How to create guest access in wireless by WISM and WCS and ACS?

dear sir
i neeed to know the steps of how we can make guest access to our network like hotels by using our WISM v 7.0.220 and wireless control system and ACS ?

You need to define your requirements a little bit. The WLC can do WebAuth and an employee can access either the WLC or WCS to put in the username and password credentials, but you would need to figure out what's best for you.
Here is a support doc that you can reference.

WLC and WCS conflict

Hi I am currently using 21 X WLC with N+1 Redundancy and 1X WCS with 1000++ of LAP1020. If had been observed that the antenna type and power TX had been changed with no reason. Is there any settings that may affect with AP customized Tx Power and antenna settings other than using the WCS template to push the configure to the APs instead of the WLC.

CS-MARS and WCS logs

Currently I'm implementing a CS-MARS solution where the first task is to get it successfully monitoring our logging from WCS. Unfortuantely MARS doesn't support WCS and requires a custom parser to be built so that it understands the logs.
I was wondering if anyone had done this yet. I'm having some trouble getting information on all of the logs from WCS to create an proper parser for it in MARS.

The problems arise from Cisco not actually making all these products but rather purchasing companies. So these aren't really Cisco's products!!! They are products other company made and Cisco just bought their companies. So, they are frequently left with making different products from different acquisitions work together.
In this case Mars came from the Protego acquisition, while WCS came from the Airespace acquisition.
In all they do a very good job of this process, and in the past their have been many cases where Cisco has taken a few quarters after the acquisitions to get it all working smoothly.
such as in
Catalyst Switches -> cisco IP Phones
Cisco Pix FW -> VPN Concentrator Tunnels
VPN Concentrator -> Tacacs Server
In the mean time just explain what I said to your boss, and he'll understand.
