Small addition. I've faced it in my lab which has two 4402 WLCs with LAG 
enabled. Mgmt interface's MAC does not equal to burned-in MAC in case of using 
LAG. Not sure about WiSM, simply don't have one in my hands.

Have anybody used these approach (configuring mobility groups through WCS) 
during real lab exam?

I have not faced it myself.  Looking at a discussion on that bug, it appears to 
happen when the WLC Management interface MAC address and the burned-in address 
are not the same.  If you look at the MAC address in show interface detailed 
Management and in show mobility summary (before adding any other WLCs,) it 
should be the same.  If it's not, then you could run into that bug.  It appears 
to be a fairly rare occurance, but it could potentially be an issue on the lab. 
 I guess I would use WCS.  Then, if the status between two or more WLCs is 
still down, look at the MACs.

Hi Kristján,

Have you faced CSCth95281 "WCS adds mobility group members using incorrect MAC 
address " bug while was adding WLCs to mobility group through WCS?
It seems the bug have been fixed in 6.0.200 but in the lab we have 4.2.

Hello Viktor,

I agree 100% that speed is one of the big elements in the LAB.
As long you know what you are doing. No point in speeding up wrong answers :D

I have slighlty another approach regardint the dynamic interfaces. I used
your method first but then I decided it was best to create the first one in GUI,
then do show running-config on the same one. Copy the output from the same one 
to
notepad and paste to others. I did some excersices with many VLANs with 
different subnet
masks + 2x DHCP servers and after I did it 5 times I got from 27 minutes (10 
dynamic interfaces, different masks, different ports,
different primary and secondary dhcp servers on each interface) to less than 10.
I could use those 17 mins in the exam :D

To add to usefull CLI commands is the NTP configuration. In GUI you define NTP
one one page and the delta timezone in another page. In CLI you just
do: config time ntp server 1 10.10.10.10 , and config time -6 0 (for the delta)
copy and past those to other WLC's

Yes totally, use WCS if I have bunch of WLANS to configure on many controllers 
(2 is enough to justify using WCS for it)
Everything goes to managment so we have to be carefull to go to each WLC and 
rectify it.

Another interesting thing to deploy with WCS is the Mobility domain and group 
configuration.
Even though you don´t have templates, browsing through each WLC configuration 
from
WCS and join other WLC's to the mobility group and vice versa seems to me a 
faster
way of doing it. No copy and pasting macs, no errors in spaces in mobility 
domain names e.t.c.
Because the WCS lists your WLC's and you can select many and join them in one 
go.
This method is also totally free of errors!

I am trying at the same time to add more and more WLC CLI commands to my 
arsenal, for example I use these a lot:

show interface summary
show ap summary
show cdp neighbours

and debugs:
debug lwapp events enable
debug lwapp errors enable
debug client <mac>

the last one actually is a macro of many client related debugs so It can quickly
help to pinpoint client issues. The first to are of course used to see if the 
WLC
is receiving AP join attempts. If totally nothing shows It usually tells me that
there is Network, DHCP or DNS issue elsewhere.

Sorry , this post got out of hand :D

regards. Kristjan

Hi team,



Which kinds of approaches do you use or did you used to increase the
speed of doing lab activities? I think it's crucial cause for example
when I was taking my lab I was run out of time all two times.

As far as I know there are at least two techniques:

1.       If you need to create several dynamic interfaces on several
WLCs you'd better use CLI, notepad and copy/paste method.

2.       In case you need several similar WLANs to be created on several
WLCs it's reasonable to use WCS templates

What else?

Cool. Thanks for the prompt response.

Another correct observation.  This will be corrected as well.
