WLC: Configuring Global Credentials for Access Points

Hi,
I have an WLC 4404 running Software Version 5.0.148.0 with 40 LWAPPs (1242AG, some 1231G). I want to configure global credentials for the LWAPPs. The configuration guide did not mention, if I have to reboot the LWAPPs after setting the credentials.
So, could I set this option during operation time? Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards
Simon

Hi,
Configuring the "Override global credentials" option in the GUI does not reboot the AP. It can be done in a production environment, just did it on one of my 1252s to test.
Hope it helps.

Configuring Cisco Air 1142N Access point.

Hi Guys
I have been struggling to configure a cisco airnet AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 access point.
this is not my first time as I have configured similar accesspoints before.
the access point gets an IP from the dhcp server. I can ping the access point over the network.
However, when I type in the ip in the web browser, nothing comes up. there is no proxy issue.
the console(hyperterminal, connected through serial cable) shows the following error message:
%CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: COULD NOT RESOLVE CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER
Many thanks

Hi,
2106/12/25 will support 7.0.xx code. It will also support all existing APs including 3500,1140,1040.

I don't think it is EOS atleast does not say on the website :

Deciding on whether you need a WLC or not is upto your budget and what features you need on your Wireless Infrastructure.. If you have $$ to spend I would recommend going in for 2504. If not you can configure them in standalone and you can always buy a WLC based system in future given you only have 3 APs.
If you need IOS code, you can either approach
1) Your reseller or
2) Cisco SE
3) Call TAC support and ask CIN agent to grant access to CCO code based on what you purchased. Also explain your situation.

Searching for Access Point Report by SSID on the WCS

Hello,
im searching for an option to make a Report on the WCS (Software Version 6.0.170.0 ) to see all SSIDs that are ratiated in detail by the Access Points.
I mean something like this: (example)
AP 1   - SSID 1 and SSID 2
AP2   -   SSID 1
AP3   -   SSID 3 and SSID2
Or is they any other alternativ to see that on the WCS or WLC?
Thank You

Hi,
The "AP SUMMARY" report will provide you the AP group to which the AP is mapped to.. here by we can come to know what all WLANs are getting broadcasted by the AP..

Syslog server for access points

Hello,
On the controller, when you look at an access points config. There is the syslog server for the access point with the default ip address of 255.255.255.255. I was wondering if there was any way to disable the syslog server for the access points. The only thing I've found so far is that the ip address of the syslog server can be changed.
Thanks,

i am not sure if "no" command works.
but on 5.2 ver
config logging trap disable global
disbale/ enable is the key to set the ip address for syslog server

Mac-adress list of manufacturers only for access points

hello,
i'm going to look for forbidden access points at the ports of huge network. is there any document that can show me whether a mac adress is an access point or not ?

If you want to do rogue access point detection then you have a few options:
1. Scan suspected ranges for port 80 servers as almost every access point has web-based configuration.
2. Cisco has provided a list of vendor mac address who make Access Points.
This list is found in their
"SAFE: Wireless LAN Security in Depth - version 2"
whitepaper
Check the link
"http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_white_paper09186a008009c8b3.shtml"
The list is at the very bottom of the whitepaper
"Table C-7 MAC OUIs Used by Access Point Vendors"
"Table C-7 provides a partial list of MAC OUIs used by access point vendors. This table was obtained from the aptools site at aptools.sourceforge.net."

IP Scheme For Access Points

I have access points deployed across several buildings that each have a different IP scheme and their own T1 line. Is it possible to configure the 5508 controller to allow these access points to use the IP scheme assigned for that particular building or will dhcp always assign an IP address to the connecting client based on the IP scheme of the building that the controller resides in?
Posted by WebUser Terence Pearson from Cisco Support Community App

Yes, you can configure the AP to work in FlexConnect mode.

N86, PAYG - keeps asking for Access Point

Hi, I have a N86 with O2 on pay-as-you-go. For some reason, it's keeps asking me for a "Access point user name" and password. It asks this even when I not trying to use the phone.
The phone works for calls. and I can connect to the internet to browse the web. I can't connect to the internet to use data to use AGPS though.
Anyway, it sounds as if the phone is regularly trying to connect to an access point to obtain some data. Any ideas why would be appreciated...I really can't think that anything is set up that should cause this.

go to connectivity settings and set to automatic instead of always ask . Or as aspergerguy suggested turn geo tagging on and off as required , but if you check your settings in connectivity it should work without asking good luck

Wlc 5508 management interface vlan - access point vlan

Is it required that the access points are in the same vlan as the management interface on a wlc 5508?

There is a story behind this .. Just yesterday my guy was like "aps wont join" .. I let him hammer away at it .. It was the check box

N8 camera keeps asking for access point setting

Most times when I start the camera I get the popup saying "Network connection required. Define access point to connect?". I realise that it'll need a connection because I've enabled geo tagging, but shouldn't I only have to set this once? I've looked in the menus & can't find anything in there to set it permanently. It;'s most annoying & I reckon I'll be missing photo opportunities because of it.

Configuring Cisco Aironet 1100 Access Point. Please help!

Hi all,
I have dozens of Cisco Aironet 1100 access points, each is managing its own wi-fi with DHCP.
I had to disable dhcp on them because they are on a wired subnet where I am using the static IPs and don't want my wired clients to get DHCP addresses, nor someone to be able to plug the wire into own laptop and get on the network.
It's been working fine with one exception - I need to be able to ping my access points from the central site, and I can't.
What IOS command would enable ICMP echo on my access points in this case?
Please help!

Configure R12 instance for access from internet.

Hi,
We want to access our r12 instance from internet.Can any one help me finding the relevant
configuration docs for the same??
Thanks

I strongly suggest that you reconsider your architecture. If you have a single-node system (apps and database on one server), and you're really thinking about opening that server up to access from the Internet, you're exposing your organization to serious risk.
Much better to deploy a second apps tier server in a DMZ than it would be to move your current server to the DMZ. The increased cost of ownership (additional hardware and slightly more complex architecture) is minimal compared to the risks incurred by putting your database in the DMZ.

Access Point Switchport configuration for OOB NAC

Hello.
Here we have to implement Out of Band with WLC and NAC, I have already checked this guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6128/products_configuration_example09186a0080a138cc.shtml
But I have a little doubt. On the document showed above does not specific which vlan should be configured on switch's access port facing access points. Should I configure this with trusted or untrusted VLAN? I know all traffic from wireless clients go to WLC through a CAPWAP tunnel, but I am not really sure on the Out of Band deployment which access vlan should be for access points.
Greettings.

Just to add again to another one of Steve's post:) You don't want to put the AP traffic through NAC, but only the traffic for the wireless clients which egress out of the WLC. So if your wireless clients are being placed in VLAN30 (just an example), you can have an untrusted layer 2 vlan VLAN29 which hit the NAC untrusted and if remediation id good, then placed in VLAN30. Makes sense?
Thanks,
Scott
