WLC 7.4 and Switch Brocade

Hi everyone,
Wondering with someone out there have been connected Cisco WLC on Brocade Switches. I am doing it now but I am not responsible for the Switch side and don´t know nothing about brocade so far.
It would be great with someone has some tips to share with me.

Flavio,
The link Leo has in his post is the direction of what is typical in a Cisco environment. It is up to you to work along side your vendor "Brocade", to determine the correct setting on the switch side. Most of the time, you need to trunk the WLC port if you have more than one vlan you will setup on the wlc. Alos if you decide to LAG on the WLC, then you need to be able to setup an etherchannel on the Brocade switch that is similar to how Cisco switch is configured. I would reach out to Brocade for help on that if you are not familiar with how to configure the switches.

Fabric with two Nexus-5548 and a brocade switch does not get fabric updates

We have a fabric containing two Nexus 5548 and a Brocade 5000 switch in interop mode 2. When i make changes to the zoning, the first nexus (the fabric principal) and the brocade switch see the zone changes. The second Nexus switch does not see it. There are no error messages but the change just can't be seen. What can i do to find out, what goes wrong ?

Ouch, deprecated is not the word i wanted to read
We are using 5.1(3)N1(1a) on nexus-rz1-a
and 6.0(2)N1(2) on nexus-rz2-a.

I would like a Question About Flexconnect HA N+1 After WLC 1 Down and AP go to Joint WLC 2

Hi everyone
I would like a Question About Flexconnect HA N+1 After WLC 1 Down and AP go to Joint WLC 2
-Cisco WLC 8500 = 2 unit version 7.6.130.10
-Mode Flexconnect HA N+1
-AP Joint WLC 1 and 2 mode HA N+1
I would like After WLC 1 Down is AP Go to joint WLC 2 Client associate in AP can use DATA Traffic between AP Failover ??
I think Mode Flexconnect client can use data traffic if WLC 1 , 2 Down becasuse Mode flex data traffic not go to WLC ??
I think true ??
thank you

Hello
You should try a flexconnect deployment
combined with locally switched SSIDs, which
should comply with your requirements.

WLC upgrade license and access point

Hi everyone,
I need suggestion regarding wlc 5508 upgrade license. Right now i have 150 license for access points. There will be upgrade around 300 access points. So we are planning to buy new license until the maximum capacity of 5508 (500 licenses).
Our management ip address is 192.168.50.x/24 . so all the access point are pointed to this management ip address (in the same subnet)
First question,
Because there will be an upgrade to around 450 access point. The current management ip address will not be enough.
Please, give me the best suggestion ?
Should i create another management ip address ? or I need to make a bigger subnet using the current management ip address ?
if i create a bigger ip address, the current access points must be set again yups ?
Second question
There will be a new link connected to the wlc, and i want to create new user subnets.
what is the best practices for this matter ?
if there are better suggestion, please let me know, i am still learning about wireless
I have attached the topology.
Thank you
Fanie

For an example, a 5508 can support up to 500 AP's, and the AP's can be in one large subnet or be in many different subnets and or even different locations. As long as the ap knows how to discover the WLC or the ap already had joined the WLC, then the AP's don't have to be on the same subnet as the WLC. The easiest way to have AP's join is to stage them on the same subnet as the WLC management and then move them to a different subnet. I would probably have no more than 100 AP's per subnet, but that's me. Stage some AP's on the management subnet that the WLC is on and then when the AP's join and complete downloading code, change the switch port Vlan and shut and no shut the port. The ap will come back up and join the WLC.

WLC LAG to HP switch

Hello,
I would like to connect my WLCs (5508) to HP Procurve switches.
Will I run into any problems if I choose to configure the WLC ports for LAG?
The 7.0 config guide talks about LAG as being a partial implementation of 802.1ad.
Also the guide only talks about connecting to a Catalyst.
I do see that HP also refers to Link aggregation as LAG.
Will they work together? Or will I have to seperate the AP manager interfaces to seperate ports?
Thanks,
Justin

on the HP, you need to do a Trunk, then set all the VLANS that will exist on the WLC to be tagged.
On the WLC, enable LAG, and tag all interfaces. For the AP, it's a standard access port. So long as the VLAN the AP is on can route to the WLC, it should join.
HTH,
Steve

WLC Physical COnnection and security

Currently our wireless environment inclued 1200ap and a wds. we have maxed our and want to upgrade to a more conrolled environment. I am suggesting and putting togather a diag. for 4404 wlc and the ap will work with the version 12.3.7 version. My question is about the physical design. Will all 4 ethernet port on the WLC connect to the switch? all on the same vlan as the AP's? also we are using eap-tls Want to migrate to eap-Fast does this require a foot print on the client laptop?

The ports on the 4404 will trunk with the switch. You can put them in LAG mode which is the equivilent of ehterchannel. You will have to put the switch ports in trunk mode either way.
You don't have to connect all 4 ports, but it is recommended for failover & maximum possible AP support. You will need assign the management interface on the 4404 (ap-management interface if operating Layer-3 mode) to a vlan/subnet that
the APs will reside in. All other dynamic interfaces that you create on the controller to bind with wlans will reside in other vlans that get pushed thru the trunk links between the 4404 & the switch(s). be sure to prune out any vlans that you don't need or want to cross the trunk to the 4404. for lwapp APs assign the switch-ports that the APs connect to the same vlan as the management ports on 4404. Not sure about your 1200s. It will work if you trunk the interfaces to the APs as well, but that is more of a shotgun approach for lwapps APs. the last time I had to work with an autonomous AP, it was a stand alone unit and not combined with a WLC. That scenario required a trunk link.
have you confirmed that you can convert your 1200s to lwapp mode?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you will need to place a cert on the client laptops for eap-tls. I did this a while back using XP & freeradius and got it to work, but it has been a while.

Follow-up: Starting, Launching and Switching ...

Follow-up: Starting, Launching and Switching ... Messing around with the Windows UI - not a feature problem, but a provisioning problem! Now start listening and please fix it this time!
(Is it still program managers or people in power designing the UI for Windows? It certainly does not look like domain specialist or software engineering designing the solution here - it's just too weak for that to look like a professional solution?
Please let educated people do their work ...)
Problem:
- Task Bar = (is and still is originally) Start. So keep promoting task bar and kill the new Start. Task Bar is Start.
- Virtual Desktop lacks virtual Start (= virtual Task Bar) (Virtual Desktop only have virtual launch from the virtual documents (the virtual desktop) ... you need to add virtual start beyond virtual launch.
- Starting universal Windows apps including touch goes to the virtual task bar (add virtualization above, i.e. context changes - for touch meaning i.e. increasing the task bar (Start) areas height)

0) A history reminder - where is Windows 10 now starting program: Back where Windows 7 left off.
Well, guess I do not have to remind about what happened to Windows 8. Now we're back at it. Welcome back to testing ...
I did some of them, testing Windows client for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and now Windows 10.
Let's go back in time to 2008 - Engineneering Windows 7:
Follow-up: Starting, Launching, and Switching

current operational framework while developing or evolution of it really should refer to developing the taskbars concept.”
Then let's go forward in time - to Windows 8 coming up with a new start and launch context namely the Start Screen - and now kind of back in time again to Windows 7 and the desktop using Windows 10. So now we're also back to the Task Bar!!!! Hence we're
back to developing and evolving the way of Starting programs.
Microsoft just have a serious problem working the provisioning in it system, i.e. what concepts you supply (provision) to the user. For instance just compare an open instance of Windows Explorer with MacOS Finder. It's the same features - but the provisioning
is just much better in Finder. The concepts are just an important mess in Windows - and needs serious clean up.
No new features! Evolvle the pinning (task bar and make it work with the virtual desktop - including touch (just add some height man ...).
And fix the freaking provisioning of concepts in the All Apps list. For instance take a look at the naming in Linux for some standard folders - instead of the bloating 3rd party names.
1) Provisioning: Now back to Windows 10 and starting programs
It's the task bar that needs development (Windows 8 kind-of "Start Menu" in Windows 7) Take a look at my comment above again for engineering Windows 7 about the taskbar on evolution - now in context with Virtual Desktops:
       - May add some height to the task bar - and you can have kind-of tilesized stuff there.
       - Have the taskbar configuration of pins switch (be variable) with the virtual desktop. May add an ekstra feature to pin program across all virtual desktops.
       - Do not have 2 different places for pinning programs (really bad provisioning ...). Lets see some nice categories instead when pressing the start button. It really confusing pressing the start menu button - and
then you see a place like the task bar to pin programs. Typical Microsoft end up scenario, the more, the merrier ...
Please cut it down to having a pinning feature working variably in context (the task bar) with virtual desktops.
2) Finally the All Apps list pressing the start menu button: using navigation (categories, tags or filters!!!!!) to look up and finding programs not in use on a daily or weekly basis - now in context with the virtual desktop
The All Apps list that needs a nice feature to support categorization, really better provisioning in the UI of user or standard concepts (now come on, man - fix the mess. Just take a look at the complexity in that list ...). You could add a feature
to filter the All Apps list in context with the concepts for the virtual desktop.
At least provide the application infrastructure for categorization in the Start Menu. So you could process it as a third party. See what happens. Add app store later then. Whatever. Make categorization happen. No more bloat navigating for programs.
Add a template feature to the categorization. Provide 2-3 templates with Windows and let people tag there programs. Let them extend the templates ... the concepts when doing their own user concepts.
With a template feature a user just have to fill in the blanks i.e. tag his/her programs - and the menus will parse equally. Hey, the template feature could even parse into virtual desktops. I.e. using a dev variant of a template.
It's going to be 2015. And compositional software design have been around for some time. Including factories for configuring software variability. Some come on now. Let's work.
4) Conclusion
360 degrees now on virtual desktops, task bar, all apps and workflow please! Make it happen.
The problem with Windows 8 was not bad features - but bad provisioning including empty programs like the new wau media players ... underdeveloped features (no really good quantity of content demonstrating value = bad provisioning) ... completely lack of
demonstrating the value of the new UI. Like if Sharepoint or any other CMS was demonstrated completely blank with no sites and empty features, no templates. Just nothing.
Please do not miss the oppertunity to demonstrate the value of an evolved UI this time.
Please complete the provisioning. Your greatest problem is releasing undone things - may be the intension is there (recall DB schemas). However the "DB extension" is empty on release? Which consumers just buy the DB schema :o). Add some "movies"
(content) please ... add frameworks for content and provisioning ... use templates. If you do not understand this ... go away program manager ;o) Let a good software engineering read it.
Now let's fully develop the virtual features in the desktop in Windows 10. And have them provisioned - so people can see how to use them. That unfortunately never happened during engineering in Windows 8.

3 different ways and displays for pinning a program for Start!
Please consider merging Start (on the Start), Start Screen and the task bar - with pins extending the Task Bar and using the Metro UI icons overall including on the desktop. It would be a nice move on the look and feel - while the task bar would be
the same. Add virtualization for pins as well on the task bar. Make shortscuts and docs on the virtual desktop actual as well - binding dynamically to a virtual desktop - instead of formal and static.
Just observed the Start Screen can be turned back on using properties on the Task Bar.
Many ambigious concepts now for Starting programs instead of just using a Consolidated Start concept for Start Screen, Start on the Start Menu and Task bar.

What is diff b/w pick and switch activity in bpel?

what is the difference between pick activity and switch activity in BPEL? example Please

1)The switch activity is an IfElse with two different flows, based on a conditional expression, derived out of existing message(s) in your process.
Eg. i) Whether the salary is greater than 10,000 or not.
ii) Whether the age is greater than 60 or not.
iii) whether the department is finance or not.
2)The pick activity is an IfElse with two different flows, based on two different messages/signals, that you can expect to receive(when you are waiting for a message) from outside of your process.
Eg. i) whether you received a reply message or a timeout signal.
ii) whether you received a AddNewEmployee message or UpdateEmployee message.
The (decision for which route to be taken for) pick activity is based on the MessageType, while the switch is based on the contents in a message. The pick activity implies that you are waiting for a message, this can occur, at the start of your process or in the mid of your process. However, switch activity doesnot wait for any message, hence can only occur in the mid of the process and can not be the start of a process.
Mark the posting appropriately as "helpful" or "correct answer", if your issue is solved.

Best Buy baited me and switched up on the ASUS G74SX-BBK9 vs. the BBK11 - not cool!

My question to Best Buy is - Have things gotten so bad in your business that you have to resort to what amounts to bait and switch tactics to get people into your stores?
I am a long time customer and Rewards Zone member. Between my family and my extended family I would say I have an impact on 7 to 10K in Best Buy business annually (conservative estimate really) as the family tech guru. Unfortunately more often than not I find BEST Buy, really isn't in the long run and I find that sad. Let me give you an example:
I have been following the ASUS G73 and now G74 laptops for the past couple years. I have been interested in getting one because I am a middle aged performance computer nut and will not settle for sub-standard performance even in my portable computer. The ASUS G74SX-BBK9 caught my eye and I went down to the local Best Buy with cash in my pocket to pick one up. When I arrived I learned that the BBK9 is nearly impossible to find but I am in luck, it has been replaced by the BBK11 and it is in stock!. Upon closer inspection I learn that the "new" BBK11 is really the same computer as the BBK9 with a low performance hard drive AND A HIGHER PRICE!!! Please allow me a moment to inform you that when it comes to IT hardware it does not INCREASE in value as the model ages, it actually LOSES value. And it is crystal clear to me that Best Buy thinks:
1. They can pull the ole switcheroo and no one will notice.
2. The customer is stupid and has more money than brains.
3. Specs are meaningless in high performance computer hardware.
4 or all of the above!
But what really got to me was the attitude of the staff. I asked if they could help me locate a BBK9 and I would buy it that second. After a couple minutes of a passive search they said it was impossible to find. Strangely enough it is on the Best Buy site - granted it is now listed as an Outlet item, but it clearly is available somewhere.
It does not make any sense to pay more for less and that makes me sick really. But I will be traveling for 10 days and don't have time to do an online order so I offered to buy a BBK11 but at a slightly better price than the $1249 it was listed at. Being completely fair - I would pay $1249 for a BBK9 in a microsecond if I could find one!!! But alas it has been marked down $70 and is only available in stores if you win the lottery and can find one. I am guessing it is right next the the unicorns and pot of gold at the base of a rainbow in the software section!! Are you starting to understand why this feels like a bait and switch?? The website says it exists, but good luck finding one - just feels like a foot traffic in the store come-on to me.
After a few minutes the lady I spoke with came back from a visit with a supervisor and said, "the price that is on it now, is the price it sells for and there is nothing we can do, and we have nothing else to talk about." I agreed that she was right about one thing - we have nothing else to talk about and I left feeling like an idiot for even walking into the store in the first place. A word of advice from a customer service manger - making your customers feel like idiots is not the way to build a business that will last. It is the way to alienate your customers and ruin your brand reputation in the long run.
Good luck and I hope you survive - but I think you are way off track........

So you are expecting for BBY to stock a discontinued model?
I agree that Asus dropped the ball. They did make an inferior "new" product. But that's not BBYs fault. There are probably a few BBK9s out there, hence why it's still on the website but online stock checks aren't 100% reliable.
If I was BBY I wouldn't have budged on the price either. They are just a middle man and because you want to buy it for less just means they will see even less profit on a razor thin margin to begin with.
This is far from bait and switch as it wasn't advertised, Wasn't put on an unbelievable sale, nor did they upsell you to another product. You researched what you wanted, thought you found it at BBY and when they didn't have an outdated model in stock then the next model was suggested I assume.

I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
Many thanks

Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta.

Can i set up two emails accounts on the mail function tab and switch between them

I would like to be able to set up two email accounts on the mail tab on the Iphone 5 and switch between them, is this possible?

Yes it is possible to set up multiple accounts but you cannot switch between them in the mail app. What you can do in settings/mail etc is have one set as active an dthe other as inactive and you can change that from time to time if you want
