WLC 5508 - WLANs disabled after reboot

Hi,
I'm running 3 WLC 5508, 2 of them running image AIR-CT5500-K9-7-0-116-0.aes, one AIR-CT5500-LDPE-K9-7-0-116-0.aes.
On the 5508 running the LDPE-image, I have 9 WLANs (170,171,180,181,190,191,281,282,283), all defined with admin status "ENABLED".
WLANs 180,181,281 belong to a defined AP-group, WLAN 190,191,282 belong to a different AP-group.
WLANs 180,181,190,191 are defined as H-REAP. The H-REAP APs registers without any problems at the backup WLC and switches back successfully to the primary controller after recovering from reboot.
Unfortunately the WLANs 180,181,190,191 show status "DISABLED" every time the primary controller comes back and I have to enable them manually.
Doing exactly the same procedure with one of the other WLC, running AIR-CT5500-K9-7-0-116-0, I never face this problem.
Has anyone faced something similar ? Any hints or tipps are very much appreciated

I would like to pick up the discussion again. I had to upgrade the 2 WLC's involved in the scenarion and the WLANs are staying enabled. The APs are registering in a perfect time at the secondary 5508 and so do the clients.
After the primary 5508 comes back the LWAPPs are registering back to that WLC seemless and so do the clients but sometimes (not always) not without loosing the connections for about 15 secs, which is unacceptable since the applications will drop.
We also get the following error-msg:
*Sep 12 13:39:05.598: %AAA-3-BADSERVERTYPEERROR: Cannot process authentication server type radius (UNKNOWN)
*Sep 12 13:39:05.598: %DOT11-7-AUTH_FAILED: Station 0026.c730.88ae Authentication failed
Hass anyone faced something similar ?

WLC 5508 - wlan stability problems

They have been working but sometimes clients detect conectivity problems with the wlan.
Here is the message log I can obtain from the controller:

WLC 5508, DHCP Problem after Update Cisco ASA(DHCP-Server)

Hello,
our Problem is, our Apple Devices get no ip adress from our Cisco ASA Cluster(ASA 9.1.2) over Wireless(Cisco WLC 5508). All other devices(Windows, Android,...) work correct, without problems. Our WLC is in HA-Mode.
Does anybody have an Idea?
Thank you very much and Best regards,
Stefan

Hello again,
I hope this case is the solution.

WLC 2106 comes up after rebooting

Hello.
I have installed a wlc2106 (ver 6.0.199.4).Everything was working fine until today...
Wlc seems that looses connectivity with core switch (3750).That time i couldn't ping the management ip and i couldn't see it with cdp.
After rebooting the controller the connectivity came up.The same situation was repeated after 30 minutes.
I have attach the logs.
Thanks.

Hi,
WLC port and the switchport will auto negotiate the speed/duplex...You need not hard code speed/duplex on the switchport...You may try resetting
the switchport to defaults and configuring it again..for example,
(config)# default interface
(config)#int <>
(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
(config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan x x x
(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
No need to set the native vlan on the switchport side if you have the tagging on the controller
management interface...
Once you make the above changes, reboot the WLC.
Thanks,

WLAN disabled after restart or sleep on Satellite A100

Hi, how to solve this problem?
After reboot or sleep, hibernation I must manually reconnect WLAN (turn off and again on switch on right side) to use internet again.
Can WLAN reconnect somehow automatically?
Thanks.

Hi
Usually the notebooks should connect automatically after wake up from hibernation or standby.
This is not problem on my Satellite M40.
But I think it depends on the WLan card which is used in the notebook.
My M40 supports the Atheros card and I use the Atheros client utility instead of own Windows WLan configuration option to connect to the router.
Maybe you should try to establish the WLan connection using the additional WLan configuration utility like Intel ProSet for Intel cards or as spoken above Atheros Client utility for Atheros cards.

WLC 5508 WLAN Changes

Hello all,
I have a pair of 5508s running in HA with a number of WLANs active. Whenever I make a change to a single WLAN, it seemingly causes ALL the WLANs to reset, resulting in a downtime of roughly 10-15 seconds. I first noticed this when I was managing the WLC on my office wireless network, which is also controlled by the WLC. Once I made a small change in another WLAN, I briefly lost internet connectivity. Has anyone else run into this same problem? Is this intended as designed, or is there a way to get around it? The WLC is running 7.3.101.0 and all of the WLANs are on FlexConnect, and they do not all share the same interface.
Thanks,
Wilson

I don't think it is by design at all. Without HA, a change in the WLAN only affects that WLAN. Now I'm guessing you also understand that there are issues with HA and you are on the first version of code that supports HA. Now I'm not saying that upgrading will fix it, but it would be a bit more stable but not 100%. I would wait until the v7.4 MR1 comes out which might be this month or maybe a few... I don't know. Or I would look at maybe the latest v7.3 code to upgrade to.

Thanks

There is no response in the button..the other problem is it gets too hot like an iron rod heated in fire..the battery drains overnight even it's not used n all locations, notifications turned off. Fix the problem dude, ur apple is rotting from within.

Screensaver Password Disabled After Reboots

Hi,
I seem to have a problem with 10.5 (and previously with 10.4) where the Security Option "Require password to wake from screensaver or sleep" gets reset after a reboot or a period of time.
I saw a posting suggesting it might have something to do with the User I am logged in as being an Administrator, so I disabled that - but I still have the problem.
Is there any way to "purge" the settings in a hope that the system will right itself ? It's getting very annnoying to go to Preferences -> Security to check this setting, and I can't lock it as Administrator either.
Thanks
Andrew

I was having the same problem.
I turned all the settings off and turned them on again and it seemed to fix it for now. Suspect though it will re-occur. Sorry that there was nothing more scientific than that!

Cisco WLC 5508 - WLAN Per-User Bandwidth Contracts

Hi,
I setup per-user bandwidth contracts on my guest anchor controller. The controller model is 5508 and firmware is 7.4.121.0. No Qos settings were configured on the foreign controllers.
The bandwidth limits for the WLAN worked correctly for a couple of weeks, then speed reduced to almost nothing. I removed the WLAN bandwidth limits and speed was back to normal again.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Any ideas why it might have happened?
Thanks,

If Scott does not mind an add-on. The 3850 also supports per client QOS.

WLC 5508 - WLAN, changing the SSID ?

no you cannot change it, you need to delete the whole SSID and set it up again.

WLC 5508 WLAN SSID Problem

Hi,
I recently got a 5508 controller. I use 1 SSID for the employees on the main site (using certificate authentication). On the Remote sites I want to use the same SSID with different DHCP Servers (AP are configuring with HREAP mode). So I tried to configure different WLAN ID using the same SSID (I override DHCP Server IP Address). When I try to activate SSID, I got the following error : "WLAN with duplicate SSID's and L2 security policy found". I tryed to use "AP Group" and put the different WLAN ID in different AP Group but it dosen't work.
Anyone as an idea?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Eric

Hi,
This is the expected behaviour!! and there is no way to overcome issue as the error thats popping up is self explanatory!! if you are using Internal WEB AUTH page then the HREAP local switching supports the internal WEB AUTH, and another thing is.. a single WLAN will do the Job!! You just need to configure Local switching on the WLAN so that, the clients in the central site use ( AP in local mode will use central side DHCP) and the AP in the HREAP will use the mapped VLAN to grab the IP!!
here is the link to do the same!!

Samaba sharing is disabled after reboot, with incorrect share config

Hi all,
I bought my macbook pro with OS X 10.4. Ever since I've upgraded, I'm unable to get my samba server to work correctly. I have a Cent OS server running samba, and all my other clients can connect to it, so I know its not an issue with the Windows clients. I would like to share my Movies folder so my wife can watch videos I download. Some are in iTunes, some are Divx. I've done the following.
1. Go to System Preferences -> Sharing
2. Under "shared folders", I click the plus and add the directory "Movies"
3. I set my account to "read only" and "everyone" to "read only"
4. Go to System Preferences -> Accounts
5. Select Guest Account and check "Allow guests to connect to shared folders". I leave guest login disabled.
6. Reboot
With the above steps, I expect that the only share listed would be "Movies" and that I can access it with an anonymous samba client. However, I randomly get folders I'm not expecting. For instance, this is how I tested my setup.
1. On a windows computer I telent to the correct samba ports. "telnet 10.10.1.101 139" and "telnet 10.10.1.101 445". Both connect to the socket, so I'm ok at the firewall level.
2. Test what shares are listed with "smbclient" on my mac. I enter "smbclient -L 10.10.1.101" in the command prompt. When prompted for a password, I just press enter. I get the following output.
$ smbclient -L 10.10.1.101
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[NINE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-apple]
Sharename Type Comment

Anonymous login successful
Domain=[NINE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-apple]
Server Comment
MACINTOSH-3 TODD NINE
Workgroup Master
NINE
Definitely not what I've configured via the gui! Also, whenever I reboot and go into the sharing gui the "Share files and folders using SMB" is always unchecked. It would seem that my settings are hosed and the gui isn't correctly persisting my settings and restarting the Daemons. I'm not sure which plist files to delete to start with fresh settings, and I'm reluctant to start blasting critical system files without being sure of what I'm doing. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I've already followed a couple of how to's that worked for most people, but they didn't resolve my issues.
Thanks,
Todd

Presumably related to this problem is that if I try to restart the svc it gets disabled.
For example (while tailing /var/svc/log/site-bind9:default.log in background):
bash-3.00# svcs bind9

bash-3.00# svcadm restart bind9

WLC harms the system after rebooting

Hi,
I got issues. After power outage for long time and UPS was not function. Whole appliance became down included WLCs.
Two of those which hold issues are 7.4.110.0. But another 7.2.x can continue function after power up.
7.4.110.0 made whole campus can not function. We spanned out the traffic and saw much multicast traffic send out. Question is how can those work before power outage. We re quit sure that we have saved the cnfg. And not only 1 WLC got issue but 2. We have 3 of WLC5508.
Thank for any opinion,

Hi,
What is our requirement --- to use Multicast or Unicast.
I totaly agree with Scott and Amjad. This issue should not be related to the Software version used on the WLC.
Go to the Controller tab under the General page and make sure AP Multicast Mode is configured to use
Multicast mode and that a valid group address is configured. The group address is an IPv4 multicast group and is recommended to be in the 239.x.x.x-239.255.255.255 range which is scoped for private multicast applications. Do not use the 224.x.x.x, 239.0.0.x or the 239.128.0.x address ranges for the multicast group address.
Thanks and regards,

Cisco WLC 5508 WLAN Controller

Hallöchen kennt sich jemand mit den Dingern tiefgründiger aus? Ich hätte da mal ein frage bzgl. der interface Groups.
Und Zwar kann man ja mehrere Vlans (somit auch IP Ranges) in eine Gruppe packen und diese dann wiederum ein SSID zu ordnen. Kann mir jemand erklären wie indem Falle die IP Adresse Zuweisung (DHCP der Clients unterschieden wird?
Und die 2. Frage wäre kann man verschiedene LAG Gruppen bauen oder oder nimmt er automatisch alle 8 in eine LAG Gruppe?
Danke für eure Hilfe schonmal.

is ist poosible the to create more than one LAG portgroup or binds the controller all 8 ports automatically in the same group? My idea is to cerate a 3 groups for 3 costumers with 2GB uplinks to the bachground network.
When it comes to WLC, it's either you turn on LAG or you don't. You can only have one LAG.
Here's what we've done in our deployment:
We have a single outbound interface, let's call it INTERNET. We have multiple sites. So we create multiple dynamic interface with specific DHCP server.
We have created a PERL script and it's attached to our LINUX RADIUS box which specifies that all traffic goes out the INTERNET dynamic interface, however, each client gets an IP address based on the site where they come from.
