WiSM2 n+1 HA
Hi,
I have a customer who are interested in buying an HA WiSM2 to complement their three active WiSM2 they have today and running this in a n+1 HA configuration. This I understand should be possible as of 7.4?
But i can't find anything in the configuration guide on how to set this up.
Do I just configure it as I would any other backup controller and it will automatically get its license activated if one of the other controllers die? Or is it something more in line with the AP SSO function where it "takes over" the controller that dies.

Ability to use HA SKU in N:1 for controller resiliency when geographically separate from the primary
HA controller SKUs can now be deployed in a geographically separate location from the primary controller to provide N:1 controller resiliency.
Low-cost HA solution that allows wireless controller to be geographically dispersed and may reside in same or different L3 network than the primary wireless controller. The HA controller may be entirely different model than primary controller(s) and yet provide the HA capabilities.

How to remove the WiSM2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch?
Hello, can you explain to me how to safely remove the WiSM2 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch?
According to the documentation "Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Services Module 2 Installation and Verification Note":
To remove the WiSM2, perform these steps:
Step1 Shut down the module by one of these methods:
In privileged mode from the router prompt, enter the hw-mod module mod shutdown command. NoteIf you enter this command to shut down the module, you must enter the following commands in global configuration mode to restart (power down, and then power up) the module:
Router# no power enable module modRouter# power enable module mod
If the module does not respond to any commands, press the SHUTDOWN button located on the front panel of the module.
Step2 Verify that the WiSM2 shuts down. Do not remove the module from the switch until the POWER LEDis off.
But, in the case of Step1 (1st methods) I do not see a option "shutdown" in the command "hw-mod module 3"...
All I prompted to enter is:
c6500#hw-module module 3 ?
boot Specify boot options for the module through Power Management Bus control register
reset Reset specified component
simulate Simulate options for the module
Is it hidden options? IOS version of c6500 is 12.2(33)SXJ1
In the case of Step2 (2nd methods) there is not any button on the front panel of the module?
And yet, it is better to remove the module configuration manually or use the command module clear-config prior to removing the module?Good catch.
Which one is true, will get back to you on this if i've something soon.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/module/wism2/installation/note/WiSM_2.html#wp34727
The above link is procedure to remove wism2. This procedure doesn’t look like wism2 is hot swapable.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/module/wism2/installation/note/WiSM_2.html#wp34621
All modules, including the supervisor engine (if you have redundant supervisor engines), support hot swapping. You can add, replace, or remove modules without interrupting the system power or causing other software or interfaces to shut down. For more information about hot-swapping modules, see the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide. -
Hi everyone
I cannot login the wism2 with browser.
But I can use command to login the wism.
like this:
VSS-6509#session switch 2 slot 9 processor 1
The default escape character is Ctrl-^, then x.
You can also type 'exit' at the remote prompt to end the session

In our case we wanted to use the DNS Entry CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.domain.name to discover the controller. As older APs (1240) were able to connect I tried with the recovery image (downloaded on Support)

with this image the AP could join the Controller via DNS.
So If you have an AP preloaded with Image 15.3.JA (without 1) try this:
ping CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain as stated by mykhuzaimi above
OR
capwap ap controller ip address <IP-address> as stated by mykhuzaim above
set option 43
Load image ap3g2-rcvk9w8-tar.153-3.JA1.tar
Unfortunately all workaround require manual interventions......

Hello everyone,
Just loaded the 7.2.103.0 software onto the brand new WiSM2. Going throught the options and have found that under the global parameters for 802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n radios is now the "Maximum Allowed Clients" option. The allowed setting is from 1 - 200 clients.
Does that mean only 200 clients will be allowed to associate to the WLC on that radio at a maximum?
Doesn't seems to make sense... I have the 500 AP license on this WiSM2... I know this option used to be an optional setting under a WLAN in previous releases.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Sasha.Does that mean only 200 clients will be allowed to associate to the WLC on that radio at a maximum?
As what Scott has responded, this means 200 clients per WAP.
If you do exceed 200 clients per WAP (or whatever value you put in there) the clients will just get a nag and the system will let you in eventually. -
Hi all,
I plan to replace 2 x WISM1 (WLC 6.0.182) by 2 x WISM2 (WLC 7.2.115.1). One WISM in each Catalyst 6500. I am sorry it is a little long but I have no lab and I need your advice.
Summarized migration plan is the following :
Upgrade of the 4 WLC (WISM1) from 6.0.182 to 7.0.240
AP pre-download from the 4 WLC (WISM1)
Transfert WLC 7.0.240 image to the 4 WLC (last compatible version)
Transfert WLC 7.0.240 image from the 4 WLC to AP and swap AP primary and secondary image
So, AP primary image is 7.0.240, AP secondary image is 6.0.182
Scheduled reboot of the 4 WLC
So, 4 WLC (WISM1) and AP are running WLC 7.0.240
Move AP from the 2 WLC of the1st WISM1 to the 2 WLC of 2sd WISM1 Swap AP primary and secondary controller with NCS
Backup the configuration file
of one WLC of the 1st WISM1
of one WLC of the 2st WISM1
Replace the 1st WISM1 by one WISM2
WISM2 upgrade from the current WLC version to 7.0.240
Import the saved configuration file (WISM1) to WISM2 (7.0.240)
Check the configuration via HTTPS
Move AP from the 2 WLC of the 2sd WISM1 to the 1st WISM2 Swap AP primary and secondary controller with NCS
Replace the 2sd WISM1 by one WISM2
WISM2 upgrade from the current WLC version to 7.0.240
Import the saved configuration file (WISM1) to WISM2 (7.0.240)
Check the configuration via HTTPS
Upgrade WISM2 from 7.0.240 to 7.2.115.1
AP pre-download etc.
etc.
Please, what do you think about this migration plan ?
Do you have a better/simplier solution ?
ThanksAlso you would enable Authorize MIC APs against auth-list to avoid AP's fallback to the WiSM1. So, if I understand you, it would be enable on WISM1. This way AP's trying to fallback to the WISM1 will be refused and reconnect to the WISM2 that's right ?
Yes... this will prevent access point from joining the WiSM1... AP's that are already on WiSM1 will stay, it just prevents any AP's that has already been migrated to WiSM2 to fail to WiSM1.
How can I get the configuration from WiSM1 to the WiSM2 ?
Well you would backup your config and open it up in a text editor... then you would edit the file, by changing the hostname and ip address, etc. Make sure you have a trailing space at the end of each command that you change. This is important or else the config will not take. Also you will have to edit the password for the management since it is encrypted in the backup config. replace it with:
config mgmtuser password
Save the config and do a restore on the WiSM2 and verify that the setting are okay prior to moving all the ap's over. I would move one to test your wlans and make sure its fine before moving more.
Thanks,
Scott

AP SSO WISM2 WLC 7.4.121
HI everyone,
I'm currently doing a proof of concept on the AP SSO feature running on WLC 7.4.121.
The first thing I would like be sure is that client SSO is not avalaible in 7.4.X release, i need to upgarde to 7.5.X, Am I right ?
The second thing I would like to share and investigate with you is about AP SSO not currently working in my topology.
I have 2 seperate C6500 (SUP720-3B) switches with 1 WISM2 in each and both switches interconnected trough a 10G port.
I enable AP SSO on both WLC that synchronize themselves trough the 10G port on a special redundancy VLAN.
They both synchronize, and everything is working (both AP database on primary and standby WLC).
What I can't understand is when forcing switchover on the primary (redundancy force-switchover command), the fallback is doing great to the standby WLC but the AP still get into CAPWAP DISCOVER state because of a timeout with the following logging message
*Feb 14 15:36:37.727: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Sequence number (0) mismatch in request messageDeleting clients for centrally switched wlan 1Deleting clients for centrally switched wlan 1Sending hreap clients to wlc on HA eventAP1cdf.0f66.90b4#% Cannot enable CDP on this interface, since CDP is not running% Cannot enable CDP on this interface, since CDP is not running., 5)14 15:37:22.934: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Retransmission count for packet exceeded max(CAPWAP_WTP_EVENT_REQUEST*Feb 14 15:37:22.934: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: GOING BACK TO DISCOVER MODE
So the SSID is unavalaible for a certain period of time as it would be with N+1 redundancy.
I also saw that some documentation said that tle WLC needs to be run on a VSS (
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/113681-high-availability-dg-00.html) and some other say the contrary (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1130-ag-series/qa_c67-714540.html)
Did you manage to get AP SSO working and did you ever have this issue ?
Thank for you help !HI Max,
The first thing I would like be sure is that client SSO is not avalaible in 7.4.X release, i need to upgarde to 7.5.X, Am I right ?The second thing I would like to share and investigate with you is about AP SSO not currently working in my topology.
Yes you need 7.5 version on WLC for Client SSO.
I never seen this tiype of error, You must contatc TAC and tell them about this issue.

Wism2 in High Availability - FUS Upgrade
Hello all,
what is the procedure to be followed when upgrading the FUS on a WISM-2 in HA cluster?
Is it the same procedure that applies when upgrading the wism's code in HA?
Thank you
Edited:
The procedure is exactly the same as upgrading. First upgrade the image and then FUS.make sure that you are connected using console connection and definitely perform this within a maintenance window of at least 1 hour.Hi,
Thanks for sharing this info.
Snipped from this guide also explains how its done:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12190806/wism2-high-availability-fus-upgrade
The FUS image can be upgraded while the controllers have HA enabled. The secondary controller will
get upgraded just like it does when upgrading the regular code. However, when you initiate the reboot
on the primary controller both controllers will be unreachable until the FUS upgrade completes on both
the active and the standby in the HA pair. This process will take around 30 to 40 minutes to complete
just like in a non-HA FUS upgrade. -
Why is the WiSM2 not recomended in the Sup slots?
I have a situation where a customer doesn't have the required power units installed in theior 6500 for me to provision a WiSM2.
They use a VSS paiur with a single Sup720 in each. They have no intention of adding a second Sup to each chassis.
I need to justify why they can't use slot 6 (which has power reserverd) if I am to get them to upgrade the PSU's. The documentation I've found says it is supported but not recomended. Does anyone know of any cast iron reason why this is not recomended.
Cheers in advance

After enable HA, both WISM2 modules are stay in Maintanance mode.
How can I undo this state.That is a known bug. Have you tried power cycling the WiSM2 modules? You have to maybe shut one down or both to get it out of maintenance mode. I know you have to remove AP SSO also and then re-enable that again. There isn't a good way to do it without powering down the WiSM2.

wism2 and wism2-HA with code 7.3
should i upgrade to 8.0 prior to HA config?
thanks in advance!hmmm... bootstrap and firmware...
firmware upgrade to 8.0 MR1 i can do...
but bootstrap upgrade to 1.9.0., no idea...:( any links with procedure? we are talkin' about bootstrap for the WiSM2, right?
the download page for WiSM2 does not seem to have any 'bootstrap' for download.
Thanks! -
Unable to access WEB UI of WiSM2
Bear with me as this is my first install of a 6500 and WiSM module.
The backgroud is that we are small, but management used to be in networking and basically forced the the purchase of a 6509E. Most of my experience is with 3560X and 2950 switches.
I have followed the basic deployment guide here:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/interfaces-modules/catalyst-6500-series-7600-series-wireless-services-module-wism/112968-wism2-deploy-guide-00.html. My problem is that I have a flat network (see why I didn't want a 6500) so the management network and the production network is on VLAN 1. Yes I know how bad this is, but apparently wireless is more important than adhering to good security practices.
My problem is I am unable to access the Web UI of the controller. I am however able to ping the address for the management IP. I will give as much output as I can think would be helpful right now (and more if needed), but any assistance I can get would be appreciated.

Prime infrastructure 2, wism2 Lrad Audit
Hi,
Im abit lost to what the Audit is showing.
When I audit my 2 Wism2 blades from Primeinfrastructure 2 I get ALOT of rows with:
(Type)Configuration Name Audit Status Attribute PI Value Controller Value
(LradIfDot11nDual) 34:a8:4e:4e:e2:10/0/0 Not present in controller - - -
The only thing that is changing between the messages is the mac text after the (Lrad...).
Even if I refresh config from the Wism2 I still have all rows left when doing another audit.
But When I audit my 5 5508 WLC I dont have the missmatch.
Both the Wism2's and 5508 should have the same config.
I can see that the Audit say that its in the PI and missing on the controller, but the value i "-" everywhere so what does it do, where do I enable or disable the setting.
Im dont want to restore PI's values untli I know what it is that Im restoring onto the Wism2.
Any help or insigt to what it is would be gratefully appreciated.
//AndersThanks for your input.
I looked up the AP via one of the macs in the missconfig (the mac is only viewable when I went into the info on the AP, its not displayed in the summary when searching for it) .
Noticed that it had lost its templates, ap groups and moved to another controller. Just the default setting was active. Applied the correct templates and moved it to the wism2 blade.
Now the row is gone from the audit :)
Even though its not the identical, your solution helped me find my solution. I will mark your answer as correct and people reading have 2 answers :)
