WPA-PSK on multiple WLANs (WCS/WLC 4400)

Greetings,
If I have two different WLANs, both configured for WPA-PSK, are the pre-shared keys different per WLAN?
I ask because when I change the PSK on one WLAN, it seems that this may be affecting the other WLAN.
I'm not on-site to test this out, unfortunately.
It almost appears that setting the pre-shared key is a global setting, and not an individual setting per WLAN.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

The setting of the WPA-PSK should be per WLAN. Changing one shouldn't affect the other WLAN that is configured.

Satellite A100-003 WLAN connection timeout(with WPA-PSK)

I have a Satellite A100-003 notebook with preinstalled Windows Vista.
When I try connect to my router with WPA-PSK (TKIP) I have error:
Wireless authentication failed because of a timeout.
My notebook and router configurated correctly!! I installed new intel drivers for 3945ABG chip.
WPA2-PSK and WEP work fine.

Hi
The same happened on my old notebook.
I was not able to establish the WLan connection for longer than 1min with WPA encryption.
I have downloaded the newest Atheros driver and updated everything.
Everything works fine with WEP but not WPA.
Then I have disabled the Windows own configuration option and use the Atheros client utility. Now everything works fine!
I would recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all possible settings!

View PSKs in wlans of WLC

Hi all,
i want to add a second controller to an existing one.
So, i have to build the same wlans with the same ssids and PSKs.
How can i view (or copy without having to view them) the PSKs stored in the first WLC in order to use them in the second also?

So its 2 4404s then ?

WLC 4400 and multiple authentication servers e.g. RADIUS, ACS

WLC 4400 and multiple authentication servers e.g. RADIUS, ACS
Can the WCL 4400 be set up to use multiple RADIUS servers? The user accounts for accessing wireless would use a RADIUS server. The administrative accounts for the WLC would reside on an ACS server.

Yes, that is correct. You can set acs to use both radius and tacacs.
For this you need to add WLC twice in acs-->network configuration. But you need to keep host name different.
eg 1) Host name WLC --->IP x.x.x.x -->Auth using -->radius
2) Host name WLC1--->IP x.x.x.x --->Auth using -->Tacacs.
You need to set up tacacs commands on WLC along with radius commands.

I can conncet Sony Laptop and IPHONE 4 and Wii to WLAN but not APPLE TV2.
It finds the WLAN I enter password correct but than it tells me that there is a problem and cannot connect.
ESSID is not hidden.
DHCP is on.
Any solutions?

N91 Podcast client over WLAN with WPA-PSK - downlo...

Hi all,
I'm using a N91 (2.20.008) and the Nokia Podcast Client (1.00.3) to download podcasts via my home network (router Zyxel P-2602HW-D1A). N91 can fine see my network but the connection is unreliable on the N91. I have several laptops and it works fine for them.
What happens is that the podcast client will start to update all podcasts, but nothing happens all the small "circles" just hang. If I try to download one podcast it will sometimes work, but mostly the Podcast client will only download 2% and then hang. Each time I have to drop the WLAN connection and reestablish it to get the next 2%.
So for me it seems that the client waits and waits for something that doesn't happen or some weird loop is taking place.
Is there any fix for this?
N91: 2.20.008
Nokia Podcast Client: 1.00.3
Router: Zyxel P-2602HW-D1A
WLAN Encryption: WPA-PSK

Ivan,
Ok, that makes sense. So yes, as far as I know, the logs are not super helpful when it comes to MAC filtering pass/fail, but you will find generic messages related to MAC filter events. Filtering for MAC is a layer 2 association-level event, so if a client does not pass, you will see an SNMP log message like:
Sun Mar 18 20:23:52 2012 Client Association Failure: MACAddress: Base Radio MAC: Slot: 0 User Name:unknown IP Addr: unknown Reason:Unspecified ReasonCode: 1
If they pass, then you will see:
Sun Mar 18 20:29:05 2012 Client Association: Client MAC: Base Radio MAC : Slot: 0 User Name:unknown IP Addr: unknown
If you are not seeing these messages, make sure you have SNMP trap controls turned on for Client association and association failure events:
I have done some more testing today and I am not running into the issues that you are seeing. In my setup, named clients can associate and unlisted clients are failing to associate. At this point I would recommend that you try upgrading your code to 7.0.220.0 or higher. My testing was done on 7.0.220.0.

Satellite L40-14N: Does WLan support WPA PSK encryption security

Could someone please help?
Does the satellite L40-14N Wireless LAN Card support WPA PSK encryption security?
Thank you.

What WLan card was installed in your notebook?
You can check this in the device manager.
Then simply Google for this WLan card or visit the WLan card manufacture info site!
Simply ;)

How can I copy a PSK from one WLAN Controller to another

I'm trying to replace a WLAN controller with a new one. One WLAN is configured with WPA-PSK. Nobody seems to know the key that was used.
Anyone know if there is a way to extract the encrypted key out of a controller and put it into the new WLAN Controller?
Thanks in advance.

No can do ...
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11364566/view-psks-wlans-wlc
However, if any users are on a MAC Book and has iCloud enabled you can see the key under the "keys". If you have a windows 7 box and uses the native supplicant you can expose the key on the supplicant ..

E4200v2 - Cannot connect IP Camera w/ WPA-PSK

I recently puchased a new E4200v2 router and one of the devices that I have on my network is a Level1 WCS-2040 wireless network camera. My old router was a Netgear WPN-824. I was able to (and I'm still able to) connect the camera to the Netgear router with WPA-PSK but not to the new E4200v2. The only way for me to connect it to the new router is with WEP, which I obviously do not want.
I'm at a loss for what the problem is because the setup is easily done. I'm thinking it's an issue with the E4200v2 but I'm not sure what... hoping that the issue could be resolved in the next revision of the firmware. I've tried WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode, WPA Personal (which I understand is the same thing as WPA-PSK) and WEP. The camera supports WEP and WPA-PSK. When I have the camera configured with WPA-PSK it simply isn't connecting to the E4200v2, only the old netgear.
See screenshots below:
Netgear router wireless config:
Netgear router connected devices (shows laptop and wirelss camera):
IP Camera config while connected to old router:
IP Camera working on old network:
E4200v2 wireless status:
IP Camera config while connected to E4200v2 router (via wired connection, not wireless):
When the wired connection is removed from the camera and powercycled, the E4200v2 does not list the camera as a connected device. I've power cycled everything, multiple times and tried everything I know of. What could be the problem? Note that the MAC address for the camera is the same for both wired and wireless adapters. Not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated. And no, Password1 is not my default password... just what I was testing with for the purpose of screenshots.
Regards,
Henrik Gustavsson

The camera does not support WPA2, only WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WEP. That being the case, I've tried it with the router in WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode and WPA Personal. No dice... Still only works with WEP. Works with WPA-PSK on the old router just fine, just not the E4200v2.

WLC 4400 and IDS attacks

Hi,
I have a WLC 4400 and a WCS 5.2. I'm receiving alarm about flood atacks and desauthentication attacks from a client. These alarms are detected by the IDS system. I'd like to know if there are any way to block this client.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Sschmidt,
I saw this solution. The problem it's that i must create an entry by any client. If there are any client that capture the wpa key and after chage his mac i couldn't block them. Is that correct? I don't know how easily it's capture authenticantion packets with a WLC.
Thanks

WLC 4400 series OID for Current Clients

Can someone advise what is the OID for the number of current clients for the WLC 4400 series appliance.
Thanks.

Based on the results of your walk, I would say it's reports all of the instances on that particular controller...and I say this because only one instance is reported. I would think that if you have multiple WLANS on that WLC, you would get multiple instances reported back, so, (maybe, like you) I'm confused by the description in the MIB object where it states:
"No of Mobile Stations currently associated with the WLAN."
which to me looks like "the WLAN" is used in the singular.
At this point, I think the best thing to do would be to open a TAC case with all of this info, and we can get with our developers for confirmation.
Hope this has been somewhat helpful, and please rate these posts.
Thanks,

5800 XM WPA-PSK and network profiles problem

Hi,
I've just purchased a 5800XM phone, with the idea of setting up my personal email account on the device, using my office's network access point.
The access point / router is a Comtrend 5361. The SSID is set to hidden (no broadcast), and the security is set to WPA-PSK (pre-shared key).
On the Nokia phone I go to 'Settings -> Connectivity -> Wireless LAN' and choose 'Other (hidden netw.)'.
Then I choose 'Connect', set the WLAN network name, the phone shows a message 'No WLAN network found', but then prompts to choose network mode (Infrastructure - Hidden), and then password. It connects succesfully and asks for storing the network profile under offline mode, I tell it to do so, and the new profile appears under 'Network destinations -> Internet'. So until now everything seems ok.
The problem is that after the phone disconnects from the internet, the stored profile seems to be useless, since the phone never connects automatically even if the AP is available and always shows 'Search for WLAN'. In the list the hidden access point never shows up so the only choice is repeating the steps that I mentioned above, creating a new profile every time I want to surt the net.
Is there a solution to this, or a third party software that can do the trick?, I have OS V21.0.25, custom version 21.0.025.219.06 from Vodafone, no updates available as of today, but I've tested it with a phone that has the latest OS v30 and it shows the same behavior.
I can't change the access point settings, so I must stick to WPA and hidden SSID, so for me this is almost a deal breaker.

Ok, I was testing the wifi part without a sim card inserted, with a sim, the phone connects to the profile properly, but without the sim it has an odd behavior, not loading the profile and wrongly stating that it can't connect when it does (but disconnects randomly).
So the problem is that wireless lan management doesn't work properly without a sim card.

Guest Access - Layer 2 security WPA PSK - Layer 3 security web auth

I am not able to test this.
Has anybody configured the CUWN guest access with WPA PSK layer 2 and Web authentication layer 3
If so are there any problems that I should expect
Mark

Mark,
I have setup wireless in two other compainies related to Rail... The biggest issue will be who will support the guest users and will they take the responsibility. Their security team didn't want that and were fine with tunneling the users to either a dmz or seperate Internet connection. Will dhco release the address... Not right away. You can play around with the lease tim and see if your laptop keeps getting the same address or one higher. If the isue is with dhco being used up from association, then don't broadcast the ssid and have the receptionist hand out the ssid with username and password. My clients use a default username and passowrd but changes that every week. They seem to prefer that over changing it every day or have a username passeor for every guest user. They use wcs to print out the guest credentials. Again, the network team has the recepionist doing this, so they made sure that they are not making too much extra work for them or else they would have to be responsible for guest users.
Hope this helps.

Slower connection with WPA-PSK

Hi, I'm new to Apple and the whole Apple discussion board.
I recently converted to Mac and have one of the new 20" Intel iMacs. I looked through the available discussions but none of them quite addressed my issue:
I recently received a new 2Wire router from ATT-Yahoo DSL. I have it connected by ethernet cable directly to my old PC, and my Mac connects wirelessly via Airport.
For security reasons, I tried to switch my encryption from WEP (which was the default) to WPA (WPA-PSK is what actually showed up as the option on the 2wire site), and when I did, the wireless connection was dramatically slower. So slow that I couldn't stream music from sites like rhapsody. When I switched back to the WEP default code, the problem seemed to correct itself.
1) Is there something I needed to adjust as well, either on the Mac or on the 2wire site, when I changed the encryption to WPA, to avoid the slow-down?
2) How great is the security advantage of WPA over WEP? I've configured the settings so that my wireless network doesn't appear automatically on other people's computers.
I'm new to the wireless game as well. Thanks for anybody's help to the above.

Hi
The same happened on my old notebook.
I was not able to establish the WLan connection for longer than 1min with WPA encryption.

WLAN WCS times users out - Please somebody help

Good day all,
I have a mesh network with a 4404 WCS. I have 13 outdoor 1500 APs and 7 indoor 1240 indoor APs. The network also has an ACS server for web authentication. However, users complain of frequent timeouts such that they need to login again to access the internet. Please what can possibily be wrong? The WCS is running a Mesh network but brigding is not enabled. I don't know what i am doing wrong.

Have you tried from the WLC gui?
You can reset the AP to the factory defaults through the wireless LAN (WLAN) controller (WLC). For the reset, the LAP should be registered to the WLC.
Complete these steps:
From the WLC GUI, click Wireless. The Wireless tab provides access to the Cisco WLAN Solution wireless network configuration.
Choose Access Points > Cisco APs, and then click Detail in order to navigate to the window for the specific AP.
Click Clear Config at the bottom of this window. This clears the configuration on the LAP and resets it to the factory defaults.
In order to reset the LAPs to the factory defaults with use of the command-line interface (CLI), issue the clear ap-config ap-name command from the WLC CLI.
