I'm still getting used to the new configuration model of the Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLC. We must utilized Tags & Profiles and assign them appropriately to access points so we can broadcast the WLAN with the desired settings.
This video goes over the configuration of FlexConnect using my C9800-CL on VMware.

@RowellDionicio 2 года назад

Just trying my part to help others succeed.

@dianamangapi8954 3 года назад

Thanks a lot for this! Managed to get my first AP registered to 9800-CL 🙂👍

@RowellDionicio 3 года назад

Awesome! There’s a lot to play with there.

@jpsnetworkingchannel3430 Год назад

Great video Rowell thank you. Have yet to use the IOS controllers but have used plenty of AireOS. Your walkthrough helped a lot.

@RowellDionicio Год назад

That’s great to hear! Glad it helped :)

Must say, this is one of the most un-intuitive devices I've ever had the misfortune to configure. One day (soon I hope) we should get all the Cisco GUI software writers in a room, and show them how easy it is to configure a Fortigate system, and suggest to them that not everyone else in the networking world wants (or needs) to jump through hoops and puddles just to get the simplest of systems operational.

@RowellDionicio 3 года назад

I know what you mean, Duncan! I often find myself getting lost in the GUI or clicking way too much. Like you said, there are many other platforms that do this easily. I do agree with Fortigate having a good GUI. It's very simple to configure different parameters with minimal clicks.

@llandarek1 3 года назад

Totally agree. The naming convention is terrible, you never know what you actually configure, which setting applies to what, etc. I don't like it very much.

@bpet7138 Год назад

I am working on implementing a 9800-CL controller and will need to migrate 40+ different sites of APs to the new platform. Configuring this thing has been an absolute nightmare..... Thanks for the info

@RowellDionicio Год назад

The 9800 is not an easy thing to get up and running 😂 I'm also currently doing a migration and it's been challenging.

@thesolidshadow 3 года назад

Thanks Rowell, that was pretty enjoyable to watch

@RowellDionicio 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@benmcveety5204 3 года назад

Excellent information. Thank you for putting the video together!

@RowellDionicio 3 года назад

You’re welcome!

@maheshkavalla3447 9 месяцев назад

Great informative, can you also share the ap-join profile details as well

@carlosleon7186 3 года назад

Thanks Rowell must i was missing that one last step. 7:16 Site Tag unchecking Enable Local Site

@RowellDionicio 3 года назад

It's a tricky one. It's not very clear what the setting does either, without looking at the documentation.

@gabrielcoronel7191 2 года назад

Excellent! Thanks.

@RowellDionicio 2 года назад

You're welcome!

@martynjones973 2 года назад

Nice video thank you

@RowellDionicio 2 года назад

Thank you!

@ernestopineda7415 Год назад

Good tutorial, what should I do if I have a remote site with a native vlan and different vlans from the central site and I want to propagate the same ssids? Thank you.

@RowellDionicio Год назад

You’ll need to leverage AP Join and Policy profiles to change those VLAN tags.

@pedromendez5384 2 месяца назад

Hi, I have a problem, my AP is registred but in "Radio Interfaces" both interface 2.4 and 5.ghz is Operation Status is "Down", do you know any reason why this happens?

@pedromendez5384 2 месяца назад

My My problem was that in the "Country Code"

@RowellDionicio 7 дней назад

That will do it

@TheAhriman 2 года назад

What if I want to broadcast more than one SSID? Since I can configure only one VLAN for the Policy Profile -> Access Profiles?

@RowellDionicio 2 года назад

You would create the SSID and configure the necessary tags and profiles.

@moisesrangel7356 2 года назад

I have to configure this on a remote branch. how the AP will register to my WLC? I have two AP on my local site and they work fine without problem but I don' t know if the only request of the AP to join WLC is they have to know each other by routing protocols?

@RowellDionicio Год назад

Do you have a VPN between the sites?

@user-nx4qw8vn4f Год назад

I loved the video! I have successfully configured my access points to utilize Flex technology. However, I'm currently struggling with adding a second SSID to the same APs. Can you offer any guidance? Thank you!

@RowellDionicio 8 месяцев назад

You'll need to add the SSID to the WLAN profile.

@tariqthoma 3 года назад

@Rowell....thx for nice video.i configured ssid's as per ur video...it works.... Do u have any video for ssid with mac authentication via external radius server? Or external radius configuration for mac authentication on wlc?

@RowellDionicio 2 года назад

I don't have a video for that but I did work with a client that did just that. Wasn't fun.

@burakbbilgin 3 года назад

thanks for the excellent explanation. i have a question :) how can you see such SSID details at macbook. i have that macbook too but i dont see ssid details ?

@RowellDionicio 3 года назад

You can use an app such as WiFi Explorer

@quyleanh1900 Год назад

I deploy flexconnect multiste, AP vs WLC on different site (not like different vlan). I turn on central dhcp, authentication, switching, associate. If I choose vlan default then client obtain ip auto but If I choose vlan other on HO site, client not obtain ip. Can you give me some suggestion?

@RowellDionicio Год назад

You have central dhcp on. does that site have the VLAN?

@shirshm7265 2 года назад

Hi Rowell, If I want to deploy a Cisco 9800-CL vWLC with some flexconnect APs in local switching mode, what will be my port configuration ? Will it be an access or Trunk port

@shirshm7265 2 года назад

This is for the WLC side port.

@RowellDionicio 2 года назад

You would just need an access port

@ericablancajr 2 года назад

I configured 9120I as an EWC/AP at the same time. I'm having issues where Android phones are not receiving apps notifications like FB or Instagram alerts. However, Iphones don't have this issue. Wondering if you've encountered this issue? Cheers

@RowellDionicio 2 года назад

I have not encountered that issue with the 9120.

@ericablancajr 2 года назад

@@RowellDionicio finally fixed the problem. Under Policy Profile>Access Policies> DHCP TLV Caching was unticked. After I ticked that, the notifications started working. I've almost given up.
