WLC 5508 running 7.4.110.0 unable to tftp upload config from controller

Hi,
Two WLC 5508 running identical code version. One is 50 license Primary, the second is HA. Identical config on both. HA WLC can upload its config to the TFTP or FTP server but Primary cannot. The operation fails for  both CLI and GUI and for different protocols i.e. TFTP, FTP.

Not upgrading to 7.4.121.0 because of bug CSCuo63103. Have not restarted the controller yet.
Any one else had this issue ? Is there a workaround ?
Thanks,
Rick.

Thanks Stephen, In my deployments of 7.4.110.0 version I have not seen this issue so may be controller reboot will fix it (we do have HA to minimize the impact). I will keep the thread updated with findings and may request TAC for the special release 7.4.121.0 if the still not happy with 7.4.110.0

  • Unable to refresh config from controller

    After migrating the data from CPI 2.1 to 2.2, I am unable to refresh the config from controllers that are on version 7.0.220.0.  I am able to refresh on the contrlollers that run on version 7.4 and 7.6 successfully.  I checked the compatibiliy metrix and 7.0.220.0 is listed as a supported verison on CPI 2.2.
    I open up a TAC but they have been struggling with this for the past 3 weeks now.
    Please advice what could be the issue.  Thank you.
    Phil.

    Hi. I had this same issue with 9.2. I found that there was a user which was no longer in the AD that was still in planning.
    First thing to check is can you see the users in SS - I suspect not but worth a look. If you can, deprovision them. If you cant (most likely) you will need to use an LDAP browser to clean them out, which is a very messy process.
    Best of luck.

  • WLC 5508 and 7.4.110.0 and AP Blackhole?

    So large customer had WLCs running 7.4.110.0 and it appears there was either a 3500/3600 AP memory leak or a CCKM roaming issue. The APs would occasionally blackhole traffic. You could see 2+ APs at -67dbm in 5GHz.  Phones are locked to 5GHz, data rates matched. .  Phone showed good strong signal, but   7925 users would report every couple days the phone dropping/DHCP timeout, re-registering, etc.  We had a large CSE/TAC group onsite audit the 7925 Deployment Guide and setup, and we did a lot of cleanup but never hit the silver bullet.
    After upgrading the 5508 to  7.4.121.4  (TAC special not on Cisco.com) they reported the 7925 problems have improved.  Only been 1 day so far.
    There is also a WPA2 with Preshared Key  CCKM bug with the 7925s that roaming takes 2s.  Use either strong WEP or buy 7926s, or use EAP/certificates, etc. https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCtt38270

  • Migrating AP's from WLC 4400 v.4.0.179.11 to WLC 5508 v.7.2.110.0

    Hi,
    I am replacing an old 4400 series WLC running version 4.0.179.11 to a new 5508 WLC running version 7.2.110.0.
    We currently have 70 x 1131 Access points on the 4400 WLC.
    With this upgrade, do i need to upgrade the old 4400 to version 6.0 so the AP's get an up to date IOS or can i directly migrate all AP's over to the new 5508 without any version incompatabilities on the AP's?
    I am abit worried that the AP's are running a very old IOS on the 4400 v.4.0.179.11 to go straight to the new 5508 v.7.2.110.0.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Check out this release note
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn7_2_110_0.html#wp976667
    You'll need to get up to a supported version of 6.0 first as per the release notes.
    You'll need to check out the 6.0 release notes too to make sure there are no other intermediate upgrade steps required too.

  • ISE 1.3 not receiving Radius requests from WLC 5508 ver 8.0.110.0

    Hello all. I just implemented ISE 1.3 at a customer site. added a WLC running 8.0.110.0 using its mgmt address with a RADIUS preshared key. On the WLC, I created to SSIDs, corp and guest.
    For corp I configured WPA2 and AES and forwarded Radius requests to my 2 ISE node PSN interfaces
    For the guest I configured MAC filter with advanced features AAA overide and Radius NAC - per Cisco's documents
    The corp forwards Radius requests to ISE, the guest does not. I get nothing from the guest.
    I configured the WLC step by step from the Cisco document. I have completed over 10 ISE implementations in the last year using ISE 1.2 and WLC 7.x and have never run into this issue before.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    This issue has been resolved. The issue was that for the guest SSID MAC filtering was enabled as required, but they had the test PCs on a mac filter bypass list for that SSID in the WLC. This was automatically authenticating the PC, and therefore not forwarding the RADIUS to ISE.
    Once we removed the PC from the MAC filter list in the WLC, the authentications were forwarded to ISE as desired.

  • Configuring a AP 1552EU-A-K9 in layer 2 mode thru a WLC 5508 running 7.6.130.0

    We have an outdoor AP that we want to bridge to another one that is also outside and connect to our WLC 5508. I see a lot of data for connecting via a layer 3 network, but nothing yet on a layer 2 network (which we run). Can anyone point me to some doc that would explain this?

  • Unable to add SNMP server in WLC 5508 with 7.4.110

    hi
    I am trying to add 0.0.0.0/0 as SNMP address and netmask and i am getting an error saying the netmask is invalid.
    is there a different way to set this?           

    Hi Roy,
    This is strange.
    I do not have a test WLC with this code to test, but command syntax is correct. I have verified it on my test controller in 7.0.116.0 & it is happy to accept it. Even 7.4 config guides does not show any other command syntax for this.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.4/configuration/guides/consolidated/b_cg74_CONSOLIDATED_chapter_0111.html
    One good thing is, this is the default setting once you create a snmp-community. It should have 0.0.0.0/0 as subnet/net mask & you do not require any changes for the default config.
    "show snmpcommunity" output should show the config values for your SNMP community.
    If you are trying to change it from configured subnet to default value, then as a work around you can re-create the snmp commnuity from fresh (delete & recreate)
    If you have Cisco TAC assistance then log a case with them to see why this command is not accepting in your code of WLC

  • WLC 5508 / firmware 7.2.110.0 is restarting automatically ( COLD START )

                       Hi Experts ,
    I am having weird issue with 5508 controller which is having firmware 7.2.110.0 . This controller is restarting automatically
    Since this issue was occuring since long time with earlier version , I have upgraded to 7.2.110.0 , however still no luck ....
    I do not have any logs related to controller crash info.

    Hey Scott,
    I'm about to upgrade a 5508 controller from 7.0.220.0 to 7.4.110.0 , and was just prepping myself on upgrading the FUS as it will be the first time. Latest for 5508 is 1.7 and I noticed for 2504 its 1.8.
    I was just curious where you saw that its mandatory to upgrade the FUS ? I can't seem to locate any actual documentation specifying anything about upgrading the FUS when going from one version to another etc. I know one of my clients has a 5508 on 7.4 with the old FUS (see below).

    Any ideas?

    Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
    Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
    "I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."
    http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread .id=67412
    If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
    My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
    Good luck.

  • I have a new iPod Touch and PC running Windows 7. I want to upload pictures from my PC to my iPod. The best I can do right now is to create a new subdirectory on my PC and put all the pictures I want in that subdirectory. I want many subdirectories! ??

    I have a new iPod Touch. I also run Windows 7 on my desktop PC. I have tried to post pictures from my PC to the iPod. But the only way you can do this that I know of, is to create a subdirectory on the PC and put all of your pictures that you want on the iPod in that subdirectory. Then you must use iTunes to synchronize the PC subdirectory with photos on the iPod. But I want many subdirectories to organize my pictures on the iPod. Can you do this??, it doesn't look to me like you can!??
    Thanks Tom

    Yes.

  • Unable to copy current-config from IPS 4240 to FTP server

    I am in the process of upgrading our Signature File at a client site where there is a 4240 installed.
    The readme file for Signature S353 indicates that a copy of the running configuration should be saved away.
    I have FTP running on my desktop.
    I am entering the following command on the IPS at CLI:
    bhiips# copy current-config ftp://192.168.5.189
    where I am then prompted for my username, then filename, then password.
    I watch as the IPS indicates "Generating current config".
    The log output of the FTP (Filezilla) shows my FTP connection successful, but then it bombs. Here is an excerpt:

    It is holding me up from moving forward with the upgrade to Sig 353.
    thx

    Have you checked permissions on your FTP server to see if a client is able to PUT a file onto your FTP server.
    Try connecting from a separate windows PC to your FTP server and login with the userid and password you are using in your copy command. And then try to push a file with a similar name on to your FTP server.
    It could be that the FTP server is not configured to allow that userid to put a file on the server.
    When you try the above test try and use an FTP client that supports Passive mode. There might be a problem with passive mode on your FTP server.
    You might also try running another test from the sensor, but this time instead of copying the configuration try copying the license file from the sensor to your ftp server.

  • WLC 5508 - Error When Uploading Webauth Bundle

    Currently have a WLC 5508 running 7.4.110.0.  I'm trying to upload (download) a webauth bundle to the controller from the web interface and am getting an error.  I've tried using FTP, SFTP and TFTP and get a different error with each.  When I started out with this, I was using a modified login.tar.  Thinking this was the problem, I switched to using the login.tar file included with the Web Authentication Bundle version 1.0.2 downloaded from the Cisco site.  This file fails with the errors below.  Does anyone have suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?  Is this is a known bug in this version of the software?  Thanks!

    Hi,
    1. Did you used  PIcozip to compress your webauth bundle?
    2. Did you try only with one laptop , if yes then try to use other one.
    3. Just try to upload default webauth bundl from cisco to wlc and show the result to us.
    7.4.121.0 is very stable version.

  • WLC 5508 with AD, NPS but without GPO, how?

    Hi,
    I didn't found anything related to what I'm trying to do so I though I would create a new discussion...
    I would like to setup a new WLAN and to be able to connect, a user will have to enter his username/password that will be confirmed using NPS and Active Directory. The problem is, I don't want to use a GPO, I would like to only verify if the user is a member of a AD group, let's say "wlan_access".
    I don't want to install anything ( certificate, GPO, creating a WLAN configuration ) on the user's PC/laptop, only AD validation using NPS as a Radius server.
    If a user is part of that AD group, after he enter his credential he will have access to that WLAN.
    Is it possible to setup that? How should I configured the WLAN in my WLC 5508 ( running 7.2.110.0 )? How should I configure NPS ( Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise )?
    Thanks a lot for your help and answers.
    Guillaume

    Hi guys,
    With the info Stephen Rodriguez gave, it looks like I won't be able to do what we want without doing config on the user's devices ( laptop, ipad, etc.. ).
    @Joseph Vasanth Louis Yes the message is from the event viewer of the NPS server. In the connection request policies, there's not much config, I let the option "Authentication Methods" in the tab Settings uncheck, so it won't override the settings in the Network Policies.
    I though it was possible to have authentication using NPS and Active Directoy without installing anything on the user's devices and still having a secured wireless network ( not like a hotspot ).
    The solution I think is the most workable is with the PEAP or PSK, with a certificate but even that...the user will have to create the WLAN profil on his laptop, so I'm not sure we want to go that way. I'll check for the PSK option, to see if the "Web Authentication" could be done using NPS.
    Thanks guys for all your time and help. I'll continue my tests and keep you posted.

    Please Advise,
    Thanks in Advanced,
    Ahmed,

    Your WLC is running a 7.0.235.3.  This firmware is suitable for your 1300 but you need at least 7.2.X to run 3600.
    As I've mentioned in your other thread, you can get a refurbished 4402/4404 cheap from Cisco Refurbished.  You can use the 4400 to run your 1310 and the 5508 to run the newer APs.

  • Format WLC-5508 Flash and IOS recovery guide

    Dear Support Cummunity,
    i have a WLC-5508 where by i am unable to join any kind of AIR-LAP1x00 Access-Points.
    They can't join in the local management ip of the controller within same L2 or via routed network thereby using the APs CLi by
    "lwapp ap controller ip addr xx.xx.xx.xx".
    I upgraded from: 6.0.188.0 to
    AIR-CT5500-K9-6-0-199-0.aes
    AIR-CT5500-K9-7-0-98-0.aes
    thereby catching the same logs every time.
    The main error message from the WLCs log i catched first  is:
    "maximum number of downloads (0) exceeded"

    as for me it looks like my filesystem is kind of corrupted since several files can not be read.
    now at power up one can choose 5 in order to format flash/disk. unfortuanitly i have not found some documentation about formatting flash procedures.
    please guide me to the appropriate documentation.
