WLC and WCS licenses

How many APs does wireless controller 5508 and WCS (version 7.0) supports?
Cheers,

Sorry for jumping in on the question with another question but it seemed the right place.
I have an AIR-CT5508-25-K9 WLC and +25AP license : L-LIC-CT5508-25A.
As far as I understand it the WLC should already have a 25AP license installed and with the adder license I should have a count of 50 APs.
However, after installing the adder license the count is still 25.
Could you please let me know if it's just something wrong in my reasoning or should a case be opened?
Thank you,
Barbara

WLC and WCS conflict

Hi I am currently using 21 X WLC with N+1 Redundancy and 1X WCS with 1000++ of LAP1020. If had been observed that the antenna type and power TX had been changed with no reason. Is there any settings that may affect with AP customized Tx Power and antenna settings other than using the WCS template to push the configure to the APs instead of the WLC.

Optimize update inforamtion between WLC and WCS

Hi,
I have a WCS in 4.1.83 and 3 WLC 4404-2 12AP in 4.1.171.0 (ans ER).
I'm think that the update of information between WLC to WCS are too slow. The update is about inforamtion, like client associated, ....
Do you know if it's possible to change the update pooling of the WCS ?
Thx

Under WCS, Administration, Background Tasks,
you can change the data collection settings

Vlan management with WLC and WCS

I'd like to know if it is possible to use the same vlan for the management of the WCS and for configuring a wlan?
I try to make this lab and when I declare a dynamic interface that is in the same subnet as the WCS ip address, the reliability between controler and WCS is lost.

I know that I should not put servers on the same vlan as wireless client but I just want to know if it is possible or if Cisco implemented something to avoid this to understand why my lab didn't work with this configuration.
Thanks

Cisco 8510 WLC and RTU licence

Hi Guys,
I have a simular issue where is shows the status as active, not-in-use.
What does this mean and how do I get this to be in use.
This is a Controller with HA-SKU license.
The licenses has been inherited from the Primary Controller.
Any license on HA-SKU controller is disregarded.
Feature name: ap_count (adder)
License type: Permanent
License state: Active, Not-In-Use
License Nodelocked: No
RTU License Count: 50
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Clifton.

Hi,
since this is a HA-SKU WLC, and the license is inherited from the active then no need to have a permenant license on it.
is the HA working fine?
please review the following link for the HA licensing requirements

WLC, WCS and WCS Navigator

I would like to know what is the difference between the Wireless Lan Controller and the Wireless Controller System.
Need I WLC if I want deploy WCS.
Can I use WCS without Wireless LAN Controllers?.
What is the diference between WCS and WCS Navigator?

You don't need a WCS server however you will require WLC's to control your Wireless WAP's. The WCS allows you to add multiple WLC's into one view along with floor plans and floor layouts and alerts. Without a WCS server you would have to manually login to each WLC controller to see what the WAP's are doing. It really depends on how big your site is and how many WAP's you have to deploy after a site survey is done.

Max. number of WLCs per WCS

Hi,
I know this is a fairly basic question but I can't find answer in WCS Q&A's etc.
I'm looking at a deployment where there will be many small sites with only 5 or 6 APs and a 2106 WLC. Each site will be in a different mobility group.
I know WCS licensing counts APs, but is there a max. number of WLCs?
Thanks, MH

Hi Mark,
The supported number of WLC's per WCS is based on the WCS Platform used :)

Error when adding a WLC to WCS

When adding a WLC to WCS I get this error: Failed to add device to WCS Reason:
COMMON-1: Some unexpected internal error has occured. If the problem persists please report to the Tech Support.
WCS 7.0.164.0 was upgraded from 5.2.110.0 because the WLC were running 7.0.98.0
WLC4404-100 7.0.98.0 (Already in WCS)
WLC4402-12 7.0.98.0 (Changed the ip address of the management and ap manager. Was in WCS but deleted from WCS prior to the ip address change and prior to the WCS being upgraded)
I know that the snmp strings are fine and that the WLC's both respond to snmp get commands.
The intial WCS upgrade from 5.2.110.0 to 7.0.164.0 didn't require the previous version to be uninstalled. After the upgrade and restoring the WCS from backup. I was getting the error posted above. We uninstalled WCS and re-installed WCS from scratch and still we are getting the same error. We tried restarting the WCS services and also the VM box as well and not luck. I was wondering if the WCS has the old ip and mac address of the WLC4402-12 in the database and that is why i'm getting this error.
I did delete and try different snmp community strings with no luck with WCS. Again, snmp is working since I can do snmp get from the WLC's.

Scott,
This is the issue:
com.cisco.common.persistence.transaction.TransactionException: Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of com.cisco.server.managedobjects.aaa.GuestUserTemplateCG.userStatus
Could be an existing bug or a new one. I cant say unless I look into your setup.

How to sync AP names from WLC to WCS

when AP names are updated on a WLC, how to propagate the changes to the WCS? WCS still shows the AP names as MAC addresses instead of user-friendly names that were set on the WLC.

In 4.2.61 you go under the controller tab on the WCS and select the controllers that you would like to update. Select the drop down for 'Refresh config from controller' Select then select the delete tab on the following screen. This will take all the information from the WLC and move it to the WCS and delete any outdated information on the WCS. Hope this helps.

Wcs license upgrade issue

Dear all,
We have two 4400 controllers which support 50 Access points each and wcs with 100 base license.Now we added 5508 controller supports 50 access points.wcs is upgraded with another 50 ap license.The 5508 controller is joined to wcs and the licence showing permanent.WCS showing all aps and showing both 100 and 50 licence as permanent.
But the issue is while loging into the wcs it showing the error message as"The system is in violation of license.The number of APs registered is greater then licensed."
What might be the reason.Please help me.
Attaching the screen shot.
Thanks in Advance
Bose.

Because your WCS is still licensed for 100 APs ....
There are 2 license level : Base and PLUS.
You had a 100 AP Base license.
You bought a PLUS_UPG license which upgrade 50 out of your 100 AP count to PLUS.
Result : you now have 100 AP licensed on WCS, out of which 50 have the "PLUS" feature set.
You should have ordered a "BASE ap count 50" license. or if you want to go to plus, a "plus_UPG" license but for the 100, and then a plus ap count 50.

1230 Series LAP and WCS 6.0.199.0 Heatmap Problem

I recently upgraded from WLC 4.2.207.0 to 6.0.199.0 (WiSM), and WCS 5.2.130.0 to 6.0.196.0. All my heatmaps that contain 1231G LAPs are solid "maroon" (-35 dBm) in color. If I remove the 1231 APs from the heatmap selection on the right hand side, my coexisting 1131 and 1142's display their heatmaps properly. My maps are all CAD format (dwg) converted to .png's using WCS. My goal is to migrate to 802.11n in small steps which our Cisco rep said we could do. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, this is a bug in 6.0.199.0. The "fix" is to upgrade to 7.0.98.0 or 6.0.199.4. As you figured out, it only affects 1230 series APs, and only on the 802.11b/g side. Bug ID was
CSCti05687
Incorrect power unit was used on AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 and IR-AP1220-IOS-UPGRD.

How to create guest access in wireless by WISM and WCS and ACS?

dear sir
i neeed to know the steps of how we can make guest access to our network like hotels by using our WISM v 7.0.220 and wireless control system and ACS ?

You need to define your requirements a little bit. The WLC can do WebAuth and an employee can access either the WLC or WCS to put in the username and password credentials, but you would need to figure out what's best for you.
Here is a support doc that you can reference.

WLC and LWAP Registration Log Question

We have a Cisco 4404 WLC and and about 70 Cisco 1131 APs. I am very new to the Cisco WLC and I need to know how to view its AP registration and unregistration logs. We have a AP that has unregistered and we can't seem to find what switchport it was attached to. It would be helpful to know the IP address and ideally any CDP information it had. Unfortunately you can only view this information in the WLC if the AP is registered, but at this point it is not. Any help would be appreciated.

You will not be able to find that info unless you still see the information on the log about the AP. You would have to either review the switch cdp info as long as the AP is still functioning or else you will just need to physically track it down. If you have WCS or NCS, you should be able to review the past history and the maps would show you where that AP was located if the ap were positioned correctly.
Thanks,
Scott Fella

WLC 5508 HA license

Hi,
We have 2 WLC and each WLC have 100 wap license. If we make them into a High availability pair do we get 200 wap licences?
Thanks,

Sorry I didn't understand "In your case 5508 would max out to 500".
We have 2 WLC each have license for 100 LWAP and they are not in HA pair now. When I will join the 2 WLC as a HA WLC, then I will have license for 100 LWAP or both WLC licences will add up and we will have 200 LWAP license in HA WLC
Now if suppose WLC-1 primary fails and we have 200 LWAP attached with it, in this scenario, do the WLC-2 can support the 200 LWAPs?
Thanks
