Well done how-to video. Pretty clear. One thing that is missing/inadequate is the elapsed time for some steps to complete. I have been burned by this many times with many (hardware and software) versions of Cisco devices. In many cases, it looks like a bring up from reset or power up is not succeeding. But, in actuality, if you wait 5-10 minutes, while the WLC and AP(s) are outwardly looping in failures to startup and/or connect, eventually some things (presumably completing in the background and not providing any visible progress indications) eventually clear up and then the looping failures are ceased and the WLC and APs finally connect successfully,.
For anybody struggling to connect to the unit after initial configuration, it disables http once you complete config and can only be accessed via . I also suggest enabling https redirect once you get connected.
Could you make a video on EmbededWirelessController 9800 eWLC on 9100 Series AccessPoints (9120-EWC-E) without WLC (WireLessController from Cisco) with different VLANS on switches (Catalyst 1000 or CBS350) and corresponding VLANS on the accesspoints (C9120-EWC-E ). Thank you.
What connects to the end of the service port link?, when you pooled the address, why did you use 192.168.1.1 and not 192.168.1.3 , video time 5:20, 5:30
Did you show provisioning the AP ? If not please let me know the directions on the GUI where I need to go and provision the AP with a name and reboot it to apply the changes.
I have another basic question. Just to make sure the connections are correct - I will be connecting the controller with CAT5 from management port to my PC. Then I will configure my controller. Later once this is done, then I connect my cisco switch to the controller to the Mgig port via a CAT5 connection and my AP to the controller via CAT5 to one of the 1gig ports available. Is this right ? Then I provision my AP (give a name, stage it)
Please watch the video. Just before the 5 minute mark I go over the connections. You can plug your computer and the switch into the controller at the same time.
I just bought the WLC350, when I configured it by giving ip management, but when I want to enter the controller with ip management it didn't work, the web GUI didn't appear. if you go directly to WLC it doesn't work. but if on PING it replay.
Dear Sal, I have set the IP Address of My WLC 3504. When I try to Access My WLC 3504 Controller I'm unable to get the Console. Could you please my Connectivity It's Helpful for me! if Possible to share the Images of Connectivity Dear
If we were talking about a 2,000Sqft house I would just need one wireless router. For business that can be much larger than 2,000Sqft, one wireless router will not work. This devices coordinates multiple wireless "routers" together. Instead of managing sometimes hundreds of wireless "routers" by themselves.
