WLC 5508 deployment
Hi All,
Currently we have 40 AP in standalone mode, we want to add a controller in our architecture to enhance coverage and set up a policy for autentication with AD.
I have created a simple test lab with an AP in the lightweight mode and the authentication is fine with a radius server (by using web authentication, 802.1x).
Now, in case of the WLC crashes I want that the process doesn't stop and the data continues to pass through the AP.
After reading some cisco documents, I find the "Flexconnect" which is a solution to configure and control APs in a branch or remote office from the corporate office through a WAN link without the deployment of a controller in each office.
Can I use this mode in our internal office ? Knowing that the goal is to avoid centralization of the traffic on the wlc.
If this mode is not the best could you suggest another please?
Many thanks in advance
Yes you can use FlexConnect mode if you wish. This is an alternative when you have only one WLC. What you should maybe look at is a 5508 HA sku WLC. Thus HA sku WLC doesn't require license so it's cheaper and a good alternative to redundancy. You would only need to purchase licenses for your existing WLC and the HA sku WLC can backup up to the max ap count for that device which is 500.
In the meantime, FlexConnect can work for you, it's just that there are some limitations to FlexConnect than is the AP's were in local mode. You can find that section in the doc you were referencing.

Hi All,
We have 2 nos wlc 5508, One of them with 12 ap license and other with 25 ap licesce.
Now I am planning to deploy both controller in same subnet and want to associate 10 ap from first and 15 ap from second.
So can any one suggest me about this ? How to configure this type of setup?Here it is the configuration guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5.0/configuration/guide/c5ovrv.html#wpmkr1127538
You can use this guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008064a294.shtml
The only difference is that you just need to provide to each AP with the name of the WLC that you want it to be linked. -
Redundant WLC-5508 Deployment Licensing
I am deploying a redundant WLC-5508. We purchased 2, each with the base license of 50 AP's. After the survey, we determined that we need an additional 9 access points. Do we have to purchase 2 upgrade licenses? If so, can we get them in increments of 5, similar to the 2500 series WLC's?
After the survey, we determined that we need an additional 9 access points. Do we have to purchase 2 upgrade licenses?
Yes. You need to purchase TWO (2) licenses.
Here's the difficulty with your scenario:
For unknown reason, someone in Cisco has determine that, in your case, you have an appliance with 50 bases license and you need to add 9 WAPs. Logic dictates that you could potentially get a 25-base license right? Not in this case. Your minimum license you can get is 100-base license.
Because of this, I would recommend that you raise a TAC Case and potentially get both of the WLC RMA-ed. Tell TAC that you want to get a 25-base license ADDED to both units. (Bringing the total to 75.)

Is there any separate licencse require for centralized WLC 5508 deployment?
agree with Stephan.
No need for addition license. just need to have number of AP license on WLC.

Deployment of WLC-5508 with 2702i-D have performance issue.
Hi Team,
We have centrally deployed WLC-5508 with 50 AP licence along with HA scenario. we have 3 locations.
1- HQ. have 26 AP with POWINJ5.
2- Branch location A- 8 AP with POWINJ5.
3. Branch location B have 8 AP with POWINJ4.
my exception is to achieve that single SSID with dynamic VLAN from group police (NPS). MY HO have 26 AP and those are working in local mode.
and branches are connected through flexconnect mode. and all are working with different-2 NPS.
Now i am facing a problem with this deployment are following.
1- branch A have performance issue.
2- HQ have performance issue.
3- i don't want to go with dedicated NPS for every location.
In order to achieve this deployment i want only single SSID with primary and secondary NPS at my HQ with dynamic VLAN for respective departmental users vlans..
above is my problem and concern. otherwise i am successfully achieving this solution with dedicated NPS with single group policy. but when i am going forward to achieve my expectation that time i am facing authentication issue at my HQ and sometimes am not able to get proper VLAN IPs. at my HQ.
kindly help me in that to understand where I am doing wrong things to achieve my expectation.
Thanks.
NalinI am facing 2 different problems.
1st issue- in existing setup we have throughput issue. (while downloading or uploading any data from the internet or Intranet, that time wireless clients are facing slowness of the Speed. and same time when i am trying from LAN i am not facing any issue)
2nd Issue- I want to achieve only single SSID with primary and secondary NPS (AD group is bind with vlan Attributes) with dynamic VLAN for respective departmental users.
for Issue no 2 i have created SSID to achieve the single ssid parameter for every location. in order to achieve i have change all access points mode local to Flexconnect mode after that i have created AP groups location wise and then create flexconnect Groups where i have mapped all the vlan through AAA VLAN-ACL mapping. created interface group and mapped all the vlans in that group.
for more understanding please go through the below mentioned CLI view.

Converged Access Design Help (Catalyst 3850 and WLC 5508...Mobility Oracle)
Hello,
I am an engineer working with a Cisco Gold Partner in Saudi Arabia. We have a large university as our client where they are constructing a new
building and require our services to build the network infrastructure. Therefore, we are to implement the routing and switching infrastructure as
well as the Wireless solution.
At present, I have no issues in implementing the R&S infrastructure as it is very straight forward but it has implications on the deployment of
the wireless solution which I explain further below. The R&S infrastructure comprises of the typical Core, Distribution, and Access layers and we
are focusing on the local distribution and access switches with regards to the new building. The client has a converged Layer 3 network spanning
from distribution layer to core layer and they are running EIGRP for this convergence. This is not a problem and has already been implemented.
Yet, the challenge arises in deploying the WLAN infrastructure. The client already has a Cisco WLAN infrastructure in place where they have a
large number of LAPs that are registered with their controllers in the Data Center. They have two WLC 5508 where one is the Primary and the other
the Secondary. The local distribution switch to which the WLC are connected also is the gateway for the SVIs for the SSIDs that are configured on
the controllers. This means that once the packets from the AP come in to the WLC, they are tagged with the correct VLAN and sent to the directly
connected distribution switch which then routes it into the rest of the Layer 3 network. Interestingly, the WLC 5508 are running AireOS 7.6 and
support the "New Mobility" feature. The two controllers have formed a Mobility Group (MG) between each other.
Now, the new building will have two Catalyst 3850 switches installed where each one has a total of 40 AP licenses pre-installed and activated
i.e. a total of 80 APs can be supported by the two switches. A total of 67 LAPs will be deployed in the new building which can be accommodated
between the two switches and their integrated controller.
Yet, based on my understanding and research about Converged Access is that, ideally, the Catalyst 3850 will only run the Mobility Agent (MA)
feature while a central controller would provide the Mobility Controller (MC) service. unfortunately, there are not enough licenses on the
existing WLC 5508 nor can we migrate the new licenses that will facilitate such a split deployment.
This means that I would need to configure the two Catalyst 3850 as independent MC and form a MG between them. I have done this and tested this
already and the mobility is working fine. But my concern is not about getting the Catalyst 3850 to work as this is simple but rather it is
focused on creating a common Mobility Domain (MD) so that clients can roam from this new building to the rest of the campus while maintaining the
state of their connections to the WLAN infrastructure.
To make things more complicated, since the new building will have its own Layer 3 distribution switch and the Catalyst 3850 switches will connect
to this distribution switch, it means that new VLANs and SVIs need to be created for the SSIDs broadcast in the new building. This means that new
subnets need to be assigned to the SSIDs.
As such, I have the following questions:
Q1) If we create new SVIs for the SSIDs (same SSIDs names will be used in the new building as in the rest of the university campus) this means
that new subnets will be assigned to these SSIDs. Now, I believe I have two options...one is to make the new Catalyst 3850s to be in the same MG
as the existing WLC 5508 which then cater for Layer 3 client roaming or I have to treat this as a totally seperate WLAN network and follow on to
the solution as per the next question. Please advise which is a better option?
Q2) I could create separate MG i.e. the new building Catalyst 3850s can be in one MG and the existing controllers can be in another MG. I can
then have one of the existing WLC 5508 (the primary one) to run the Mobility Oracle (MO) feature so as to create a single Mobility Domain (MD).
Would this facilitate in Layer 3 client roaming and RRM for all the controllers in the same MD?
Q3) If I do create a MD, how is this accomplished in such an environment since the documentation is severely limited in this regard?
Please advise at your earliest. To assist further, I have attached a topology diagram which may aid in explaining the situation with more
clarity. If these things are clarified, I will be better able to wrap my head around the technology and in turn service my clients better.

AmirHi Amir,
Q1) If we create new SVIs for the SSIDs (same SSIDs names will be used in the new building as in the rest of the university campus) this means that new subnets will be assigned to these SSIDs.

Please advise which is a better option?
I would configure them in the same mobility group. Also configure same SPG for those two 3850 stacks if users are frequently roaming within these two buildings.
Q2) I could create separate MG i.e. the new building Catalyst 3850s can be in one MG and the existing controllers can be in another MG. I can then have one of the existing WLC 5508 (the primary one) to run the Mobility Oracle (MO) feature so as to create a single Mobility Domain (MD). Would this facilitate in Layer 3 client roaming and RRM for all the controllers in the same MD?
MO is not required (it is only for very large scale deployments)
Q3) If I do create a MD, how is this accomplished in such an environment since the documentation is severely limited in this regard?
Yes, documents are hard to find :(
These notes may be useful to you based on my experience. I am running IOS-XE 3.6.1 in my production.

ISE 1.2 / WLC 5508 EAP-TLS expired certificate error, but wireless still working
Hi I have a customer that we've deployed ISE 1.2 and WLC 5508s at. Customer is using EAP-TLS with and everything appears to setup properly. Users are able to login to the network and authenticate, however, frequently, I'm getting the following error in ISE authentication logs:
12516 EAP-TLS failed SSL/TLS handshake because of an expired certificate in the client certificates chain

I'm not sure if this is cosmetic or if this is something that I should be tracking down. System isn't in full production yet, but every client seems to be working and there is no expired cert in the chain. Any ideas what to check?Hello Dino,
thanks very much for your reply.
The client uses a machine-certificate, the PKI is not a microsoft one, but a third party PKI. The certificate is fresh and valid, the root-cert is installed and checked to be validated against it for the login.
Clock is correct too. The same setup works flawlessly in Windows 7 and XP.
EKU is set on the certificate (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2)
I suspect the cert-setup itself, but don't get a clue where this might stuck...

WLC 5508, SW 6.0.199.4, 1142 AP: Clients getting dropped intermittently
We have deployed a WLC 5508 w/ SW version 6.0.199.4, 1142 AP's & open authentication w/ MAC filtering. Clients are randomly getting dropped with "Limited Access" shown in Win 7. In this state, the client machine is unable to ping the gateway and sometimes lose their DHCP assigned IP as well. A manual disconnect/re-connect to the SSID is required everytime.
I ran a debug on one the clients stuck in the "Limited Access" state (debug client xx:xx:xx:xx):

Second WLC 5508 for HA N+1 with Mesh Network
Hi,
End user has a WLC 5508 and around 12 LAPs (an increasing un short time) configured and working for mesh network (some ROOTs and MAPs)
now is the way to deploy an additional 5508 in another site so that be the backup of the first controller.
Taking into account that is a mesh network what would be the options in WLC's config so that we can have the shortest time for LAPs to associate to
the backup controller?
I appreciate your comments
regardsyes, wlcs can be on different sites. be sure to configure primary, secondary wlc name and ip on those APs.

WLC 5508, vlan select, reserved address in external DHCP server
Hi guys,
I have a deploy with a WLC 5508 version 7.0.116.0, APs mode local and vlan select feature enable. The issue is that the reserved IP address in external DHCP server not work. The DHCP contains a reserved IP address associates with mac address, but the assignement of IP is not match with de policies in DHCP. All others services operate normally.
This reserved assignment operate previusly to modificate the WLAN to vlan select feature. Help me to improve this situation.
Thanks.-
Best regardsHello Abhishek, thanks for you quick answer....
the link was a document used for the deploy, but not especifict nothing about the reserved IP address for particular host. In other words, the reserved IP address (through MAC address) in external DHCP server not work when "vlan select" its enable. -
Cannot add WLC 5508 to Prime Infrastructure 2.1
Regards,
I've been migrating / implementing a WCS to PI 2.1. I had several problems at first to add the 11 WLC we have to PI which I could be solving by trying and testing as I have not found many references by Cisco when it comes to troubleshooting when deploying PI.
I have several queries:
1. The WCS was added 11 WLC using different SNMP communities are configured on each of them. At first when trying to add the WLC had PI SNMP communication problems. I performed the test to eliminate any of the WLC added to WCS and add it again with some communities already existing R / W without any problem. At the end, I could not add the WLC so I had to create an SNMP community with the IP of Prime in the WLC so that they can be added. Does anyone know what is the cause of this?
2. I could not add a WLC 5508 IOS 7.3 using this method, even creating an SNMP community and IP mask 0.0.0.0 / 0. No access list or FW in between the WLC These WLC are spread over several countries but i was able to add the other WLC adding a community in each WLC pointing to the IP of Prime. It is similar to this case:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12232506/cannot-add-wlc-5508-v761200-prime-infrastructure-21
Thanks for the help.It turns out that this situation was caused by a bug in 7.6.120.0 (CSCuo73572).
TAC handed me an escalation image (7.6.120.16) that fixed this.
Added the controllers sucessfully on the first try.

WLC 5508 Software 7.2.103.0 to 6.0.199.4 is possible to degrade
Hi i got my first WLC 5508 with software 6.0.199.4 and i deployed in site and the branches i have started registring AP's HREAP mode.
And its working fine .
The second WLC came with software 7.2.103.0 so i doubt if i connect this WLC IN one of the site so it will be a issue .
So whats the best practice. is it possible to Downgrade the second WLC to 6.0 versionYou better upgrade both WLCs to the latest version. Besides the bug fixes that you get, there are many new features in 7.0 than 6.0. also, 7.2 is having more features than 7.0.
If you want anyway to downgrade, that is possible. But you may lose your configuratoin. so you need to take the precautions and get a backup before the downgrade.

WLC 5508 with version 7.0.98.0 and AIR-LAP1242ag
hi, recently i have deployed wlc 5508 with ap 1262. initially i had trouble with the existing version on the wlc (6..0.199.0) which AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 was not registering with wlc. i have upgraded the wlc to 6.0.199.4 ver still it was not registering. finally i have upgraded to 7.0.98.0 and all the 40 AP's ( AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 ) are addedd and its working fine.
Now my issue is, at the same site i have 12 nos of AIR-LAP1242ag autnomous AP's which i need to convert to lightweight ap and register with wlc. where i am stuck currently. after loading the recovery image (c1240-rcvk9w8-tar.123-7.JX9.tar) the ap reboots and can see it register with wlc within seconds contollers pushed the new image and once the ap reboots, never register again.
does anyone has any idea?After adding the country codes GB and RU.. in my test setup 1242 is registered...i will have it run for couple hours and see the result

7925 Phones voice quality issues with wlc 5508 version 7.6
Hi all,
I have a mix environment with 1 WLC 5508 and more or less 6 sites with several Access Points ( all AIR-LAP1242AG and all in FlexConnect mode Hreap ) and several wireless phones (all CP7925G) . My Ap's have antennas 2.4GHz in all sites except 1 site ( the one i'm talking for now) with 2.4GHz and 5GHz , because of the problems we suggest to have all phone in A BAND (5Ghz) . In this site we force the phones just to A (802.11a only) , power safe NONE , Continuous scan mode , i fallow all in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/7925g/7_0/english/deployment/guide/7925dply.pdf , one thing i didn’t do it was apply QoS because I can’t apply several ios commands in that 2960 with lan lite ios.
So I have 3 SSID for data and 2 for VOICE ( one is common to all environment and supports 2.4 and 5Ghz , and other just to test one site , with only 5Ghz with “[WPA2][Auth(802.1X + CCKM)][Auth(FT 802.1X)]”, because I read that problem can be phone rooming , and in FlexConnect only have fast-roaming in a CCKM or a PKM key-management solution , but even like this the problem still exist) .
I have another sites with phones in 2.4GHz running well and others with problems.
i read here in forums lots and lots of people with similar problems , i tried several solutions ( WLC upgrades versions and phones firmware's , …. ) tried all my best of solving the problems mas now I’m running without any ideas , i did also some site surveys and detect some interferers that why I change phones to 5Ghz , and I run also WLC Config analyser to help me , but all without good success. Some changes solve temporarily problems , but after some time , people reclaim about problems.
I can open a TAC case but first I want be sure if did all already.
Can someone try to help me?
ip phone 7925G firmware : CP7925G-1.4.5SR1.3

Best RegardsHi Serge,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have taken care of all the settings. Problem is , the user is seated in his office cabin and using the 7925 and there is around 50db signal strength in his room from an AP which is just outside the cabin. And this doesnt occur often, when we go to check and make calls, everything is fine whereas the user says it happens sometimes in the morning, evening etc... randomly... where the fone goes blank while in a call.... since the problem never happens when we go to troubleshoot the issue, we really dont know what is going on. This is happening when calling PSTN.
AP's are not restarting and there is no logs indicating that. Wireless infrastructure looks very much OK cos there are other users who are not experiencing this problem and there is ample coverage all over the floor. I am baffled why only one user has this problem even when he is seated in his office cabin.
Tried changing phones also, but still remains.
Question : i tried to do a linktest from WLC to his phone, but it failed, while linktest to laptops are working fine. Does wlc linktest not working for wireless phones ?
regards

WLC 5508, Prime Infrastructure, 7921 phones and QoS
Hi everybody!
I have deployed about 50 wireless cisco phones int the network with 27 APs with the WLC 5508.
I'm trying to investigate phones behaviour (I have some loss of audio).
And I use Prime Infrastructure for monitoring.
I run the Voice Diagnostic on the selected two phones.
and in the Charts I see the next:
1. for one phone "Downlink AC Queue Usage" shows all the traffic of "voice packets". but "Uplink AC Queue Usage" shows all the traffic of the "Best efforts packets".
2. for the second phone "Downlink AC Queue Usage" shows all the traffic of "Best efforts packets". and "Uplink AC Queue Usage" shows all the traffic of the "Video packets".
that is strange, very strange. the WLAN of these phones uses platinum QoS. none of other WLANs uses "gold" QoS.
does this mean I have a QoS misconfiguration?
where may the failure be? WLC? switches? router?
please, any suggestions...I noticed few misconfigurations as per your response
1. Are you configured AP as FlexConnect ? If not AP connected switchport should be configured as ACCESS port & trust DSCP. If it is configured as FlexConnect, then you can configure switchport as turnk & in that case you have to trust CoS using "mls qos trusct cos" command.
2. WLC connected trunk ports always to be configured to trust CoS not DSCP. Otherwise WLC set QoS value ignored by your switch.
3. If you WLAN is set for Platinum then you have to configure Platinum QoS profile for 802.1p & set value as 6.
I would suggest you to verify QoS value preserve across you switch network. You have to take some wireshark packet caputres (as shown in my reference link) and make sure your voice packet DSCP goes into rest of your network as EF. You need to do this for upstream & downstream (from 7921 perspective) traffic. Here is the traffic flow if AP connected to switchport 1 & WLC connnected to switchport 2.
7921 <-> AP <-> Switch port 1 <-> Switchport 2 <-> WLC <-> Switchport2 <-> Rest of your network
Once you do this, then you can go to Prime & check those charts to reflect QoS values correctly. Otherwise you do not know where these QoS value get stripped/or modified in your network.
