WLC 5760 centralized mode Flexconnect support?

Hi all,
I am currently digging through the documentation about the 5760 WLC and converged access mode and found one particular information, which I need more clarification for.
This is the link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps6302/ps8322/ps12598/qa_c67-726507.html
And here the specific snippet:
Q. What deployment modes can the Cisco 5760 WLC and Cisco Catalyst 3850 support?
A. The Cisco 5760 WLC can operate in centralized mode (also known as local mode) as well as converged access mode, whereas the Cisco Catalyst 3850 operates in converged access mode. At this time, there is no support for office-extend access points, indoor or outdoor mesh, or FlexConnect access points on the Cisco 5760 WLC and Cisco Catalyst 3850.
Now my questions are:
Does this apply to the converged access mode only or also centralized mode?
Do 5508/WiSM2 WLCs still support APs in the specified modes even when using the new mobility architecture?
When is it planned to add support for the new platforms, if at all?
Hoping for some answers!
Regards,
Patrick

External AAA for WLC 5760

Hi, I have WLC 5760 on mode Centralized because I don't have Switch 3850. I need to implement dot1x authentication using external AAA Server which is in my case is Active Directory on Windows 2012 Server. You can see my configuration in pictures i attached bellow. My problem is authentication is always failed.
Can you give me a hint ?
AAA Server
Authentication
LDAP
WLAN Security L2
WLAN Security L3
ERROR Log
Thanks

Complete these steps in order to add the WLC as an AAA client in the ACS.
From the ACS GUI, choose the Network Configuration tab.
Under AAA Clients, click Add Entry.
In the Add AAA Client window, enter the WLC host name, the IP address of the WLC, and a shared secret key. See the example diagram under step 5.
From the Authenticate Using drop-down menu, choose RADIUS .
Click Submit + Restart in order to save the configuration.

Cisco 5760 controller in centralized mode supports 4404 controller as anchor controller?

Hello All,
I have a cisco 5760 controller running in centralized mode. I want to configure one 4404 controller as anchor controller to work with the 5760 controller. Is this supported?.
Thanks in advance
Shabeeb

No, It is not supported.
You cannot have a mobility peer with 5760 unless you enable "new mobility" on its peer . In CUWN products this is supported in 5508/WiSM2/8510 on specific codes. In current supported codes it has to be 7.6.x or 8.x.
As you know 4400 only supported upto 7.0.x code. So new mobility is not supported, hence you cannot peer with CA products.
In case if you have a "new mobility" supported WLC, here how you configure it

Cisco WLC 5760

Hi All,
I have Cisco WLC 5760 at my company. I see some document that CISCO WLC 5760 not support FlexConnect. What i want is AP still function when Controller down. Any feature that WLC can do that?
Thanks in advances.

5760 Access Point Stateful Switch Over (AP SSO) Overview
IOS XE 3.3 SE release for Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller introduces 1:1 Active-Standby redundancy model for HA with the CT5760 controllers using the StackWise-480 technology. HA in Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller is enabled using Cisco StackWise-480 technology. StackWise-480 identifies active and standby members in the stack as per the Cisco IOS Software SSO technology. All the control plane activities are centralized and synchronized between the active and standby units. The Active Controller centrally manages all the control and management communication. The network control data traffic is transparently switched from the standby unit to the active unit for centralized processing. The 12 ports of the CT5760 HA redundant pair can be connected to the infrastructure network either through a single switch or two switches.
Bulk and Incremental configuration is synced between the two controllers at run-time and both controllers share the same IP address on the management interface. The CAPWAP state of the Access Points that are in Run State is also synched from the active WLC to the Hot-Standby WLC allowing the Access Points to be state-fully switched over when the Active WLC fails. The APs do not go to the Discovery state when Active WLC fails, and Standby WLC takes over as the Active WLC to serve the network.

Wlc 5760 design

I have a new deployement with WLC 5760.
total number of aps are 150 with 4 WLANs.
each WLAN is mapped to a sperate VLAN. I have a couple of design questions:
     - the switchport configuration of the AP will be trunk or access ?
       if access, then port should be memeber of which VLAN ?
     - mobility configuration for single WLC design ?
     - I would like to make two groups in which group 1 will advertise WLAN 1,2 and 3 while the group 2 will advertise only WLAN 4.
       is it possible ?
really apprecite your response.
Regards

Hi,
Here is my responses
   - the switchport configuration of the AP will be trunk or access ?       if access, then port should be memeber of which VLAN ?
5760 only support Local mode APs. So all your AP connected switchports (in access layer) should be configured as access ports. You can put that in a different AP management vlan.
     - mobility configuration for single WLC design ?
You can configure a mobility group name even though no any other controllers.
     - I would like to make two groups in which group 1 will advertise WLAN 1,2 and 3 while the group 2 will advertise only WLAN 4.        is it possible ?
Yes, you can create two AP groups & map these WLANs. Then add APs into these two AP groups according to your requirement.
These posts should give you some reference

In order to use a WLC that has a license as an HA WLC, you need a minimum of a 50 AP license.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10315/products_tech_note09186a0080bd3504.shtml
If you want to convert any existing WLC as a Standby WLC, do so using the config redundancy unit secondary command in the CLI. This CLI command will only work if the WLC which is intended to work as Standby has some number of permanent license count. This condition is only valid for the 5500 WLC, where a minimum of 50 AP Permanent licenses are needed to be converted to Standby. There is no restriction for other WLCs such as the WiSM2, 7500, and 8500.

ISE Compatibility with WLC 5760

The ISE compatibility Matrix (June 5, 2013), does have a row for WLC 5760 in its tables.
The WLC 5760 Release Notes says it is compatible with with ISE without specfying which features.
Why is the WLC 5760 missing from the ISE Compat Matrix and how can I get specific ISE feature support (ie CoA, DACL).
Thanks.

Hello Marvin,
ISE 1.2 is in road map and it will be available till July 17, 2013 and that will support WLC 5760 and all the features which you are looking.

MacBook Mini-DVI to VGA - Samsung 32" LCD - Mode Not Supported

I followed the instructions on Apple's site to use the MacBook with the lid closed and an external LCD. It worked perfectly the first time I tried it. (I believe in 1920 x 1024). It seemed a little hard to read so I changed the Display resolution, then encountered the "Mode Not Supported" on my LCD. I unhooked and used my MacBook to change the settings back, but the MacBook seems to revert to the "Mode Not Supported" resolution when I close the lid. Any suggestions? Can I reset the Display Preferences on my MacBook?

I think this procedure should work, but it requires an external USB keyboard.
- Shut down the Mac.
- Have all the following connected:
- MacBook power supply
- External display
- USB keyboard and mouse
- Open the lid on the MacBook and hit the power button.
- Immediately close the lid on the MacBook and start holding down the Shift key on the USB keyboard.
- Release the Shift key once you see the spinning gear on the gray screen on the external display.
The above procedure should cause the Mac to start in Safe mode and hopefully will finish booting into a useable screen. If that is the case, go into Displays preferences and select a known working resolution different from the one the Mac started up in under Safe mode. Now restart normally. Hopefully the newly selected resolution will persist through the normal restart and you will have a working external screen again.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro to a Samsung Tv. (Mode not supported)

Hi, I have a macbook pro mid 2010, when connected to an external tv, i get the mirroring option, however when i uncheck the mirroring option (cause i need 2 desktops screen instead of one), my external monitor shows " Mode not supported ". I have a samsung LCD TV. It works perfectly with mirroring option, but I don't want a mirroring option..... Can anyone help?

I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2011.
The new features available in OS X Yosemite like Continuity, Handoff,etc are not supported in this model.
I did upgrade RAM to avoid any possible slowdown.
I found replacing the HD with SSD is too expensive for a 4 years old model.
Replacing the CPU/GPU is not for amateurs.
If you think that rebuilding a Mac part by part is a viable option, please go ahead and rebuild it.
Best.

Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

Mac Pro to Samsung HDTV - "Mode not supported"???

Alright, so I have just received my new Mac Pro in the mail yesterday and wanted to hook it up to my television - a 1080p Samsung (Samsung LN-T4671F) HDTV. I am using a DVI-to-VGA cable. I feel I should probably explain the entire situation so that it's all clear.
The first time I started the computer after plugging it into the TV, the Apple logo with the Loading, spinning thing (not the multicolored wheel) showed in beautiful 1920x1080. After loading, the screen jumped to a lower resolution for a second and then went black, finally giving me a "Mode not supported" error. Thinking it was just a little hiccup, I restarted the computer and after the Apple logo screen, it showed me a screen on how to put batteries in my mouse (or something along those lines, I didn't really look), and then it had me set up my wireless keyboard. After this, it showed me the WELCOME video and allowed me to log on to my computer and start using it.
After about 15 minutes, I was going through the system prefs and came across display. Thinking maybe I should lower the resolution to better see text, I clicked on a lower resolution around 1600xsomething. The screen went black and gave me the "Mode not supported" error again. I thought I could just wait a few seconds and if I didn't confirm the resolution, it would go back...but it never did. After trying to restart my computer a number of times and receiving the error message each time, I booted in Safe Mode, which I am in right now.
I went into the sys prefs and made sure the resolution was set to 1920x1080, which it already was, and restarted the computer. Error again. I went into the settings of my TV and went to PC and had it auto correct the resolution to the input. Error again. I have been running in Safe Boot since - no sound is annoying - and enjoying the display in full 1920x1080 (1080p)...so the set obviously supports it (and the manual says it does too).
My video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. What's most annoying is that it's pretty obvious that the display supports this resolution and yet won't allow it to work outside of Safe Boot mode.
Please help

Had the same problem with an AOC 1080p TV, trying to connect to it using VGA cable.
Ivan's earlier post clued me in to solution:
- Plug in the TV, get the "Mode not supported" message on the TV
- Open the Display Preferences, you should see the display preferences for the laptop "Color LCD" monitor. Click the "Gather Displays" button - this should bring the display preferences for the TV behind the laptop preferences window. Switch to the TV's display preferences window.
- In the TV's display preferences window, switch refresh rate down to 59.9 Hertz (your TV may need different refresh rate, but on mine I only get options for 59.9 or 60).
That did it for me!
