WLC 2504 N+1 HA SKU clone configuration

Hi Team 
I'm working in a couple of  WLC2504 deployment in a   N+1 HA SKU topology
In both controllers the software version is  7.6 . We stablish the  N+1 HA configuration step by step like in this guide:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/hi_avail/N1_High_Availability_Deployment_Guide.pdf
 Is possible clone the SSID  and AP groups configuratoin from the primary controller to the Backup controller ?
Thanks in advance

Hello.
It all depends , if both controllers are in the same place you may be able to map your settings. Otherwise you should take into consideration the scenario of what would be your AP 's Flex -Connect in case of failure of one of the drivers. Just as dynamic interfaces that you created .
If you have everything centrally, you can map the entire configuration of your main controller without problem, including SSID , security settings, etc. AP 's groups.

  • WLC 2504 HA Configuration

    Hi Guys,
    What configuration should I use in order to configure HA using 2x Cisco WLC 2504 ?
    - Do I need to have licenses for 2x Controllers ? I have only one WLC with license installed.  
    At the moment I have the following scenario below.
    AIR-CT2504-K9 – Primary (30 Aps Supported)
    AIR-CT2504-HA-K9 – Secondary (0 license)
    Software Version - 7.6.130.0 (Both Controllers)
    Both controllers are going to be in the same place.
    Can anyone help me please ?
    Thanks,
    Everton

    Thanks Scott Fella !
    Just one more question.
    Should I use a crossover cable to connect the primary controller to the secondary ? Or should I use a switch to connect them ?
    Thanks,
    Everton

  • Configure a second Wlan on WLC 2504

    Hello,
    I  created a topic about this problem on the learningnetwork cisco site too. You can find it here: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/73201.
    The problem is:
    We have the Cisco WLC 2504 with a couple of access points. On this WLC we have a network connection via a radius server for our employees. The DHCP server for this connection is the server you see on the drawing. The connection from the switch to the WLC is connected on port 1 of the WLC. This connection works like a charm.
    Now I want to create a second network (which is divorced from our internal network) for our guests, but it doesn’t work till now. What we have at the moment is:
    A connection from the firewall via the router to the internet
    A connected cable from the firewall to the WLC on port 2
    A configured interface (port 2) on the WLC
    A configured Wlan on the WLC (it is possible to connect to the guest Wlan with a static ip)
    The SSID of the guest network is broadcasted via the AP’s which also broadcast the internal network SSID
    The problem I have now is:
    I have no connection between the WLC Port 2 (192.168.10.2) and the firewall (192.168.10.1). When I try to ping the firewall (192.168.10.1) I get a no reply received message.
    How can I get this working? I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!

    Frank,
    The issue is that the WLC will not route between VLANs.  In order for the scenario that Rasika recommended to work, the switch needs to be a layer 3 switch or needs a layer 3 device attached to it to route between the VLANs.
    In my WLC, I have a guest interface as well:
    The gateway listed in the VLAN 50 Interface on my L3 Switch:
    I then have a route established on my switch to send that traffic to my ASA:
    Due to that, I can ping the ASA from my WLC:
    Of course, my WLAN for guests only has access to the guest Interface Group:
    Try these changes on your switch (or other Layer 3 Device) and let us know if it worked for you.

  • WLC 2504 7.5 Redundancy

    Hi all,
    Just a little question about high availability in cisco 2504 WLC Ver 7.5.102.0.
    Following the cisco documentation for WLC I want to set the HA configuration by going to Controller - Redundancy menu. My issue is that this menu does not exist in my WLC.
    Anyone know if this version of ios is HA capable or not ?
    Thanks
    Fabien.

    Hi,
    When the active controller is unavailable, the standby controller will adopt the licenses from the primary controller. It is expected that the you will be able to get the primary controller back online within 90 days. After 90 days, the you will get a daily reminder to switch back to the primary controller.

  • Acs 5.3 and wlc 2504 config with restricted network access

    Hello,
    i submit you the following issue that i'm actually facing:
    i must configure a secured wireless network with access restriction based on SSID. the equipements are : cisco wlc 2504 (soft 7.3) cisco secure acs aplliance 1121 (soft 5.4) .
    the users that will connect to the network are regrouped by identity groups, each identity group having it's own SSID. Clearly each group of users must access only one SSID.
    i followed the procedure below to configure it:
    -- creating user identity groups;
    -- creating users and assigning them to the groups;
    --- creating authorization profiles for each SSID under policy element/ authorization and permission/network access/authorization profiles and putting the Airespace-Wlan-Id(the SSID number) in the radius tab.
    --- assigning the authorization profiles to the identity groups under access policies.
    after all these config the users can access the network using there userid/password configured. But the problem is Every user can access every SSID, seems like the restriction is so not very well configured.
    i found some documentation on this kind of config but the version of ACS used seems older than the one that i use, so menu are very different.
    Please can someone provide with the right steps to follow to achieve this kind of config.
    tkx in advance

    Yes.. you only have to add the end filter like what I posted... as far as the calling station id in the WLC security tab, it doesn't matter because that is not used when using 802.1x.  I would also try to not enable everything that you have just to start from the basic and make sure it works first.  The WAP Authentication Method might or might not work for you.  Uncheck that for now and when you have a successful authentication, look at the monitor log and see what radius attributes are being sent, because those attributes is what you can use to build your policies.

  • DHCP Error with WLC 2504 and Aironet 2600 setup across subnets

    Hey guys
    I have just setup a new WLC 2504 controller to manage a WiFi service that will span 6 geographic locations.  The local networks at each location are on different subnets (all 192.168.x.x) and are linked up via IPSEC VPN links, and there is Active Directory spanning the sites, with DNS and DHCP servers running at each location.
    I tested the WLC at our main office with a single AP, and it worked fine.  The AP set itself up, and wireless devices connect with no probs. Great!  Yesterday I headed out to one of our remote sites, and connected an AP to their network - and that seemed to work fine too.  Within a few minutes I was able to see the WiFi network I'd setup, and my smartphone connected to it straight away (as I'd rpeviously connected at the main office), so I was pretty happy that all was working well.
    This morning however I've had notification that wifi performance at the remote site isn't great.  I've got someone to check their ip address, and I've found that their IP address and default gateway match the LAN at the main office where the WLC is based - NOT the LAN where the wireless client is.  Obvioulsy this is not ideal!
    So I guess my question is, what have I done wrong?  (I guess I HAVE done something wrong!?).  And how can I get wireless clients at remote sites to pick up an IP from the DHCP server at THEIR site?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks!           

    Hello Tim,
    What mode your APs are in? Local mode? or FlexConnect mode?
    If local mode, then all the traffic will be tunnelled to the WLC and they'll be same as if you are connecting from the WLC location.
    If you use FlexConnect APs (which is recommended for remote sites) you can configure FlexConnect groups on the WLC and add each location in a specific group. In that group you can decide what VLAN the users should be in.
    Check this link for FlexConnect group configuration

  • Best practices for network design on WLC 2504 and 5508

    Dear all:
    I'm looking for some recommendations on WLC 2504 and 5508 about the the following:
    Maximum amount of AP per port
    The scenario when to use all ports in both WLC
    Maximum number of clients(users) per port
    Bandwidth comsumption of  management vs data in order to assign one port for management
    I've just found this:
    Cisco 5508 controllers have eight Gigabit Ethernet distribution system ports, through which the controller can manage multiple access points. The 5508-12, 5508-25, 5508-50, 5508-100, and 5508-250 models allow a total of 12, 25, 50, 100, or 250 access points to join the controller. Cisco 5508 controllers have no restrictions on the number of access points per port. However, Cisco recommends using link aggregation (LAG) or configuring dynamic AP-manager interfaces on each Gigabit Ethernet port to automatically balance the load. If more than 100 access points are connected to the 5500 series controller, make sure that more than one gigabit Ethernet interface is connected to the upstream switch.
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/6-0/configuration/guide/Controller60CG/c60mint.html
    Thanks for your help.

    The 5508-12, 5508-25, 5508-50, 5508-100, and 5508-250 models allow a total of 12, 25, 50, 100, or 250 access points to join the controller.
    This is an old document.  5508 can now support up to 500 APs if you run firmware 7.X.  2504 can support up to 75 APs if you run firmware 7.4.X.
    I'm looking for some recommendations on WLC 2504 and 5508 about the the following:
    Best practice and recommendation is to LAG all ports so you will be able to form a link redundancy.  If one link goes down, you have other link to push traffic. 

  • WLC 2504 redundancy set up

    WLC: 2504
    Firmware: 7.6.100
    Hello,
    I'm getting very confused in how to set up redundancy with WLC 2504. Some sources talk about Client SSO, some about N+1.
    But it seems that although I should use Client SSO with firmware 7.6, the WLC 2504 doesn't support it.
    When I type config redundancy, I have no choice
    >config redundancy ?
    unit           Configure redundancy unit [primary | secondary]
    So I typed "config redundancy unit primary" on my 2504 and "config redundancy unit secondary" on my 2504-HA
    And when I issue this command I have very little information
    >show redundancy summary
    Type of the Unit = Primary
    Does someone has guidelines for redundancy with WLC 2504 on firmware 7.6 ?
    Thank you

    Hello,
    Thank you both for your answers.
    Something I didn't understand in the documentation is this.
    Is there a replication of configuration between the WLC primary and the HA ? I did read that they should have different network settings (IP addresses) so I understand that there is not a total replication, what about the rest of the configuration ?
    The only result I have when I issue a command on the WLC-HA is this
    >show redundancy summary
    Type of the Unit = Secondary
    It doesn't look exactly what I see in the documentation.
    Thank you

  • WLC 2504 can't change WAP name or switch off CDP via WLC gui

    Hi All,
    Please can you assist? I have 1 x Cisco WLC 2504 & 2 x Cisco WAP AIR-CAP1602I-E-K9 running 7.4.100.60.
    All three devices are installed and working correcty within a corporate environment. However, there are a few tweaks that I would like to do, to tidy up the configuration and switch certain elements on or off. For example, my core networking hardware is Huawei and I would like to switch off 'CDP' on the WAP's as the associated error messages are filling up my logging buffer on my switch. So, I https to my WLC, locate the WAP in question, goto 'interfaces' and untick the box for 'CDP state' hit apply, then I get the following error message "controller name is mandatory when controller ip address is configured" and then the tick reappears!
    At present I have two WAP's. Both have static IP addresses and both are reachable on the network. The one WAP did allow me to change the name to something meaningful, but the other WAP would not let me and still has the default MAC address as its name. I have the same issue, when I try to change the name on the WAP it says "controller name is mandatory when controller ip address is configured"
    I have also tried to CLI directly in to the WAP to make these alterations, but as soon as i launch 'putty' it quits out. I guess this is locked down once the WAP's associate with the WLC.
    And around I go.... Someone must have been in this situation, what am i missing? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Andy,
    By default SSH & Telnet is disabled for WLC controlled APs. So you have to enable it first via WLC GUI in order to access the AP via telnet or SSH.
    Wireless -> Select your AP -> Advanced -> Tick Telnet/SSH boxes.
    If you could not change AP name via WLC GUI (it may be a bug), but as I said earlier try to change it via WLC CLI (not AP CLI itself). SSH  to your WLC & then try the following.Old AP name is the one with its mac address.
    (WLC) >config ap name
    (WLC) >save config      
    Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
    Configuration Saved

  • Guest wireless with WLC 2504, Catalyst 4510R+E and ASA 5510

    I need to add guest (internet only) wireless to our existing internal wireless and am looking for advice as to the best practice configuration. Existing infrastructure as follows:
    WLC 2504
    1142 LAPs
    4510R+E
    ASA 5510
    Existing configuration as follows:
    WLC management interface and APs addressed on the 192.168.126.0 /25 network
    Internal WLAN mapped to the management interface
    Management interface VLAN ID 0 (untagged) and dynamic AP management enabled
    WLC port 1 (only) connected to 4510 via trunk with native VLAN set to 7 and allowed VLAN set to 7
    4510 connected to ASA inside interface (security level 100)
    Switchport on 4510 connected to ASA configured as switchport access VLAN 99 (our internet VLAN)
    ASA inside interface NOT configured for subinterfaces and is addressed on the 192.168.121.0 /25 network
    What is the best way to add guest wireless to our existing configuration?
    Note: I need the guest wireless to be filtered by Websense as our internal wireless is
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank for the reply Scott. The configuration recommendations from Yahya did not work. I set up as he recommended and also added a dhcp scope on the wlc. Client gets dhcp but cannot even ping the wlc much less anything else. Yahya stated above to configure port 2 on the wlc to an access port on my 4510. Aren't all connections from the wlc supposed to be trunk links to the switch? Shouldn't I just leave the management interface on the wlc untagged and add a dynamic interface for each wlan and tag it with the approriate vlan id? And then leave the (one) physical connection on the wlc (port 1) connected to a trunk link on the 4510 that allows the required vlans?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated...

  • Cisco WLC 2504 and ways to authenticate users

    Hi All,
         What is the ways to make user authenticate to WLC 2504 and what is the best and simple way and what is the differences btw each method _i mean for example need radius server or something else to be exist_ ?
         and any one can give me case study for this issue
    System consist of Cisco 2504 and Cisco LAP 1140
    Thanks

    To implement radius based authentication is the best practice for the small & enterprise environment.
    Information About RADIUS
    Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol that provides centralized security for users attempting to gain management access to a network. It serves as a backend database similar to local and TACACS+ and provides authentication and accounting services:
    •Authentication—The process of verifying users when they attempt to log into the controller.
    Users must enter a valid username and password in order for the controller to authenticate users to the RADIUS server. If multiple databases are configured, you can specify the sequence in which the backend database must be tired.
    •Accounting—The process of recording user actions and changes.
    Whenever a user successfully executes an action, the RADIUS accounting server logs the changed attributes, the user ID of the person who made the change, the remote host where the user is logged in, the date and time when the command was executed, the authorization level of the user, and a description of the action performed and the values provided. If the RADIUS accounting server becomes unreachable, users are able to continue their sessions uninterrupted.
    RADIUS uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for its transport. It maintains a database and listens on UDP port 1812 for incoming authentication requests and UDP port 1813 for incoming accounting requests. The controller, which requires access control, acts as the client and requests AAA services from the server. The traffic between the controller and the server is encrypted by an algorithm defined in the protocol and a shared secret key configured on both devices.
    You can configure multiple RADIUS accounting and authentication servers.For example, you may want to have one central RADIUS authentication server but several RADIUS accounting servers in different regions. If you configure multiple servers of the same type and the first one fails or becomes unreachable, the controller automatically tries the second one, then the third one if necessary, and so on.

  • Savant and WLC 2504

    The customer have 1x WLC 2504 and 7x AP 3502i.
    He are installing a automation system called Savant, this system use the Bonjour protocol to discovery the services on the network.
    I've configured the multicast group on controller and switch (SG300) with IP 239.xxx.xxx.xxx, but the Savant (on iPad) don't finds the service.
    Somebody has gone through a similar scenario?
    I've used this document: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_tech_note09186a0080bb1d7c.shtml
    PS: The customer haven't VLAN
    Best regards.

    #Disable mdns/bonjour on wlc. place the WLC Management and AP vlan on same subnet. keep the savant server and iphone on same wlan and try.
    #WLC 2500 supports only Multicast to Multicast for AP mode, be sure that wired side Multicast is configured properly and working.
    #Try with any standard app to verify bonjour and AP mode multicast works.
    #it is possible there may be any specific string that require to be added onto bonjour profile for savant to work. do debug mdns all enable and see what is missing.
    it is suggested to open TAC case for troubleshooting.

    Hi there,
    It's me again... same devices which making trouble.
    I have an allready configured WLC 2504 running in the network. Every LAP i add to the network joins imidiatly to the Controller.

    Problem solved
    Hey guys, i solved the problem. It wasn't the firmwareversion. I downgraded the WLC and the problem still exists.
    Problem reason: The AP1121G series doesn't  has a MIC - Manufactured Installed Certificate - which is compatible/ accpeted by the WLC 2504 and it's parameters for the RADIUS server. Maybe it has no MIC, i don't know.
    So you need the SSC - Self Signed Certificate - for the join authentication.
    Solution:
    1. Logon to GUI or CLI of the WLC.
    2. Enable "Accpet Self Signed Certificate"
              GUI: Security > AP policy
              CLI: (Cisco Controller) >config auth-list ap-policy ssc enable
    3. Look for the SSC Hash of the AP:
              CLI: (Cisco Controller) >debug CAPWAP events enable
              There you'll find an event which is called e.g.:
         Mon May 22 06:34:14 2006: sshpmGetIssuerHandles: SSC Key Hash is 9e4ddd8dfcdd8458ba7b273fc37284b31a384eb9
    4.Add the ap manually to the controller
              GUI Security> AP policy > Add               There you have to set the right parameters, ap MAC, Cert. type: "SSC"           and the Key.
              CLI:    
              (Cisco Controller) >config auth-list add ssc 00:0e:84:32:04:f09e4ddd8dfcdd8458ba7b273fc37284b31a384eb9
    5. Maybe you should reboot the ap.
    And it's done
