WLAN Controller - Configuration backup

Hi,
I need to take the backup of configuration file for WLAN Controller 4420, I tried all the possibilities given in the documantation but the backup fails, I have main confusion with the file name to be backedup, i am not able to findout the configuration filename any where even when i use CLI, please help.

from cli, show run-config commands.
from gui, before exporting the file, from drop down select config file and type any name which will be used to name the backedup file.

Prime Infrastructure Controller Configuration Backup

Hi,
Does anyone know if its possible to send controller configuration backups to a specific folder on a FTP server?
Currently PI backs up all the controller configs to the root directory of my FTP server. It would be really good if I can specify a folder to store the configs within Prime. Perhaps I should be backing up the configs a different way?
Thanks,

I having problem with my Controller Backup.
When a try witch CLI to make my Backup i get this.

WLAN Controller configuration help needed

Hi,
I need to configure AP with WLAN controller for guest access. we have 2 vlans. vlan 1 - guess vlan (internet only access) and vlan 2 - all access.
while configuring wlan controller. which vlan should i configure as native vlan? I have radius server which would check health of the user and would direct wlan controller to put in user in vlan 1 or 2 depending on its credentials.
please advise how to implement it. what would be initial steps.

Hi,
I have couple of doubts before going further for solution to implement ?
What model of wlan controller & AP , you are using ?
to configure the Controller , initially you need to configure the interface ( which are virtual ) .
You need to connect controller to your existing LAN set-up may be one of the port of your core switch ............
below are the interface which you need to configure in controller .......
1) Management interface with IP ( which will be used to access your controller from lan ... ) this is ip should be able to ping from the network.
2) AP manager IP ( this is again depend on model ) if it is 5500 , this is not required ..
3) Virtual IP : this is should the IP address which is not at all there in your lan eq.1.1.1.1
4) dynamic interface with IP : this is the interface which will map your vlan to WLAN
once you create the mentioned interfaces , you need to create the wlan and map the above dynamic interface with respective wlan.if required you can configure the DHCP pool as well in controller for Wlan.
let me know , whether this information helped you ........................

Cisco NCS configuration backup and restore of WLC issues found

Hi,
I recently tested the process for a customer of defaulting a Cisco WLC to factory configuration and then restoring the configuration from Cisco NCS. It was not seamless to say the least and I wonder if I have just gone about it the wrong way.
Have have set the NCS platform to configuration sync with the 5508 controllers at 04:00 every day and prior to the controller defaulting I ensured that NCS also reported that the config was in sync.
I have also set NCS to complete a tftp backup of the controller every night 23:00 - interestingly though I have no idea where this is stored on the NCS platform ( a VM appliance ) or what it's filename is.
Anyway my experiences where as follows:-
1. defaulted WLC and via serial CLI ended up at the configuration wizard.
2. Set the correct LAG, management IP, hostname that NCS knew this controller by.
3. To test things just created a dummy WLAN ( SSID ) as I assumed this would be overwritten ( big mistake ! ).
At this point I connected the controller to the network and tried to restore the configuration from the config sync version.
First problem - you have to remember to set up the SNMP community string you were using as it is needed by the configuration sync process. After adding this to the controller I could push the configuration to the controller.
Second problem - failed to add the first WLAN from the backup as I have added the temporary dummy WLAN via the wizard and NCS reported a conflict. So had to delete WLAN ID 1 from the WLC GUI directly and then the config push no longer reported this error.
Third problem - for some reason did not add the TACACS server details - reported the error that it could not added them. I manually added these via a template via NCS and all was well.
Fourth problem - all but the first WLAN was in the disabled state - had to re-enable all of the WLANs
Fifth problem - any default items I had disabled or removed have not been saved - therefore I have removed the public and private SNMP communities - but these were still on the WLC after the restore. I have disabled unused ports not in the LAG as they show an error in NCS - these where not disabled after the restore.
So all in all not a very satisfactory restore process from NCS to an defaulted WLC ( ment to simulate to the customer what would be needed if they had to replace a controller due to hardware failure ).
So - anybody like to comment on what I did wrong - is there a different / better way of achieving this ??
Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,
all the tasks you did seem to be fine for me.
I was also wondering the process os restoring from NCS controller configuration backups ...
If anyone else could give another method with less drawbacks, that would be appreciated, but i doubt about it.

Guillaume.

Cisco prime configuration backup

Hi There,
In Cisco prime infrastructure there are two places that I can do backup of the WLCs.
1. Operate -> Configuration Archive & run schedule archive
2. Administration -> background Task -> Controller Configuration Backup
Can someone tell me what's the different between these two? What would be the issue if I have enable only option 1 not 2? If I want to get the running configuration of the controller to my PC How I would be able to do that?
Thx
Sara

An Intelligent Network Management Application doesn't have to depend on most basic tasks for user input.
It should be smart enough to start managing devices for configurations, inventory and Fault Management out of the box, as soon as the devices are added.
Under Mega-Menu like --> Design, Deploy and Operate their are many tasks which are user deployed and as per the network preferences and requirement.
Under Background Tasks we have System Defined Tasks to start many such device management activities by default.
Also, under Background task, you can configure an external TFTP/FTP server to archive the backup of the controllers configuration.
-Thanks

WLAN Controller 2125 VLAN issue

Hello,
i purchased a WLan Controller 2125.
this is my first time with Cisco's Wireless Controller :-)
previously i have worked with Motorola WLan Controller. configuring Vlan was easy.
now coming back to cisco Controller
i have installed and completed the initial configuration such as management console and 1st SSID working fine.
according to Company's requirement there should be 3 SSID's
1) management    VLAN-1 identifier   subnet 15.15.x.x           (SSID - VLAN-1)(interface1)
2) Guest             VLAN-20 identifier subnet 192.168.10.0      (SSID - VLAN-20)(interface2)
3) employees      VLAN-30 identifier subnet   20.20.x.x          (SSID - VLAN-30)(interface3)
now the issue is only the SSID VLAN-1 is working. i beleive it is because its under the VLAN1 and management interface.
as for fulfilling network requirement i have connected controller with L3 switch as below
controller's interface1 connected to trunking interface on the switch
controller's interface2 connected to interface vlan-20 on the switch
controller's interface3 connected to interface vlan-30 on the switch
i have also configured DHCP on controller for each SSID(interface)
I CANT EVEN PING the GATEWAY FROM THE SSID VLAN-20 & VLAN-30.
HELP Pls

First at all, test those other 2 vlans fromthe switch side just to make sure are working.
If it is working and not wirelessly, then I would need the show run-config and show arp switch
from the switch side, show cdp nei detail and show run and show arp

WLAN controller 4400 series, use service-port for initial configuration, IP address?

Hi, Everyone,
I just got a new Cisco Wlan controller 4402 from somebody else but I can't find a suitable console cable( DB-9 console on the controller) , I googled everywhere and I read I could use service port to do the initial configuration, the CISCO FAQ says initial IP for service port is 192.168.1.1, I tried use Cross-over cable to connect a PC to the service port directly and use a normal cable with a switch to connect the service port and a PC, both of the connections do not work out: from the PC, I can't ping 192.168.1.1 ( PC IP changed to 192.168.1.20) , nor can I go http://192.168.1.1 . The service port Link is solid GREEN and ACT is solid GREEN, the PC NIC says Connected with 100 Mbps , so I'm wondering the IP address of service port is not 192.168.1.1? Please help.
Any sussgestions and advices are greatly appreciated.

Hi,
plz connect service port to the switch port that should be configured as access.
connect a pc (ip address - as u mentioned) to the other port of the switch. both wlc and pc should be in same vlan (create a temperary vlan).
try https to access the wlc.
Thanks

WLAN Controller can configure as ACTIVE-ACTIVE

Customer is looking for two numbers WLAN Controller (AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9). And they want to configure as ACTIVE-ACTIVE. I would like to know whether it can be configuring as ACTIVE-ACTIVE.
And Is really require WLAN Controller for AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9 access point ? or it can be configure without WLAN controller ?
Please revert me ASAP
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Although WLC Controllers can be configured in an Active-Active type redundancy, you don't need the WLC for small deployments. The AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9 access point can be setup in Autonomous or Stand-alone mode as well :)

Basic configuration for a WLAN Controller - 4400

I've been reading over the "Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide, Release 4.0".
So it looks like once you have the HTTPS enabled and the management IP set, the majority of the configuration is through the GUI - clicking your way through all the settings.
I've never used a wireless LAN controller -- so to make this quick and easy, is it possible to make a "quick and dirty cut and paste" CLI template to get it up and running with just minimal settings left to be done?
If so, could you post it? Thanks.

Well, first you will have to console into the wlc and go through the startup wizard. that is your minimum configuration to get it working. No way around this unless you build a script to automatically enter information on the startup wizard.

Cisco LWAP & WLAN Controller Flexconnect Across HP Switches

Hello All, I'm looking for a little guidance in making the needed routing and switching configuration changes on our Corporate Network to accomadate flex connect functionality for Cisco Lightweight Access Points (LWAPs). The LWAPs that are currently configured on our network only work when our WLAN Controller is up and running and I need for them to be disconnectable so that we can move the WLAN Controller to our virtual co-lo. It should be known that I inhereted this network from the previous admin and have been working hard to map everything out to the best of my ability. Also, the WLAN controller is already operating in our production network so it limits my ability to do much testing.
Just FYI, I'm a new Systems Admin promoted from a Desktop Support role and have my CCENT (Currently working on CCNA & MCITP Server Admin) so I have some knowledge but it is limited on the networking and switching side of things. Unfortunately, the Senior Systems Admin has even less knowledge of networking than me and I don't really have anyone to turn to which is why I'm posting here. I would have utilized GNS to help me simulate the configuration however there are HP switches in the mix and no means of emulating them.

(CORP-AP-MIS) AIR-LAP1131AG-A-K9 - 10.1.1.79
(COSW239) HP1810G-24 - No IP (Inaccesible but being replaced)
I will now go on to explain our network topology as it pertains to the WAPs and WLAN Controller and how I believe it needs to be configured in order to operate from my perspective.
Our Corporate and Guest Wireless Access is provided via the Sonicwall CONSA251 through a connection from the X0 interface to HP Switch COSW239 which is then connected to WLAN Controller CO-WLAN-CTRLER as detailed below:
Device - Interface Name/Port
CONSA251 - X0
COSW239 - 2
COSW239 - 18,19
CO-WLAN-CTRLER - 2,3
The WLAN Controller currently communicates with all the LWAPs via Layer 3 TCP\IP as I understand it and then routes all DHCP requests and traffic destine for the 10.1.101.1 (corporate WLAN) and 192.168.1.1 (Guest WLAN) to the Sonicwall and vice versa.
Now what I am trying to do is VLAN the LWAP CORP-AP-MIS across the HP Switches to the X0 interface on the Sonicwall NSA240 where it will be able to route traffic via VLAN 20 & 30. The problem lies in my inexperience with HP VLAN configurations and how the ports need to be configured on each device so it can route traffic to the Sonicwall when the WLAN Controller is shutdown.
The LWAP CORP-AP-MIS layer 2 trace to the WLAN Controller is as shown below:
Device - Interface Name/Port
CORP-AP-MIS - FA/0
COSW238     - 16
COSW238     - 25
COSW240     - B4
COSW240     - H6
CORT250     - GigabitEthernet0/0
CORT250     - Se1/0
CONSA251    - X0
Now for all intesive purposes the Corporate Router CORT250 should probably be handling the routing for our Corporate and Guest Wireless network however that was not the way it was originally setup and I have to work with what was inhereted. The Corporate Router CORT250 has a default route to the Sonicwall and the Sonicwall CONSA251 has all the routing already in place for the Corporate & Guest WLANs.
What I would like to do is VLAN off the X0-V20&V30 accross multiple switches and switchports to each LWAP in our building. I do have the LWAP I'm testing on configured with Flex Connect which I understand is required for it to be disconnectable.
Any guidance on how I would go about configuring this accross devices would be appreciated. I know there are some difference between HP and Cisco Switching terms and how tagging, untagging, and trunking works however I lack the experience to apply this in practice especially in a production environment.
I will be happy to provide any additional information or clarification that is needed. Thank you in advance for the help.

Just to add about the ISE... you can profile, but having only one ssid might or might not work in your situation. Also if you end up with remote sites or ap's in h-reap mode, currently ISE cant do any profiling. If you go with the 7500 or 5508/WiSM2, they don't really do an active-active or active backup. They are both up and you can split the load or put all ap's on one, its up to you. I usually split the load just to make sure both are working. I don't want to all of a sudden loose the primary and then find out my secondary/backup is not working.

WLAN Controller on remote WAN?????

Hi Guys,
In the event of a WLAN controller, can the APs assosiate to a controller a thousand miles away?
The backup controller would be located in the DC where 100% of traffic is destined anyway so bandwidth is not of major concern.
Thanks

no problem - glad to help
if you read this:-
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/4.0/configuration/guide/c40hreap.html
it will give you alot of good information - but this is for WLC ver 4.0 - in 4.1/4.2 & 5.0 you get more functionality for H-REAP!

Migrating WLAN Controller 2125 to 2504

Hello everybody,
I will migrate a Cisco WLAN Controller 2125 to 2504,
So I have one question?
I need to make all configuration into the new Wlan Controller or I can migrate with one tool or something else?
Best Regards

Thanks Scott for your valuable information.
But there are still commands that are available on one platform and not on the other. How will those commands will be migrated of the command itself is not available on the new platform?
For example, if you are using external web authentication, you need to configure this command on 4400 platform:
config custom-web ext-webserver add index IP-address
if you have 5508 platform however, this command is not exist and you need to configure pre-authentication ACL (which is not needed in the first platform if the above command applied).
In such cases if you are migrating from 4400 to 5508 then your external web-auth will not by default work because you need to configure preauth ACL which was not needed in the old platform.
I am not aware about any other thing but there could probably be some other cases like the one I just mentioned.
I think this is why Cisco does not support backup/restore config among different platforms; to avoid such cases.

What are you using to tell the AP where the contoller lives ? Since you are consoled into the ap you can use the -> capwap ap controller ip address
This will point the ap to your controller

Configuring Backups in Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.2.0

Hello,
I am trying to configure backups in Enterprise Manager. Whenever I try to provide the host credentials, I receive the following:
"Connection to host as user Administrator failed: ERROR: Wrong
password for user"
This machine is a primary domain controller, and therfore has no local accounts. All accounts are through the domain via Active Directory. I came across a plug-in for Enterprise Manager for AD, but it is only for Windows Server 2003. Since I cannot authenticate locally for host credentials, how would I work around this in order to setup a backup schedule? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, this did not seem to resolve the issue, as I still received the error message when attempting to provide the Administrator's credentials. I also added the domain admin to the Log on locally option, but this did nothing as well. Is there something else that I need to put in to the fields when attempting to set up a backup job?
