Cisco Wireless Controller

2008-10-08 Thread Mike King
So Cisco LWAPP people, Currently we're on 4.1.185.0. It's a 4402 controller, with 1131AG access points. Anyone made the leap to one of the 4.2, 5.0 , or 5.1 trains without seriously regretting it? We've had some random disconnects with clients. It's pretty common, happening to most all users.

Mike, We run 4.2.130. I was told by Cisco Engineer to downgrade to this version as we had a nightmare with 5.x. However we still get Clients disconnected at random intervals(Radio seems to reset somehow forcing clients to roam to nearby LAP's). Cisco has no clue and i wonder why not many

I have also heard to downgrade to the 4.x code from the 5.x code but I have had great success with my 5.x code. I am using 1121, 1131, and 1230s. I have almost 100 APs and have on average 400 people connected at one time. Justin Dover Harpeth Hall School 615-346-0082 The EDUCAUSE Wireless

Hi Mike, We run 4.2.130 on our WISM blades. Our 4404 stand alone controllers are running 4.2.60 where we have at least one WLAN using WPA2-PSK AES and TKIP without any issues. Other WLANs are Open and no issues are experienced there. Our APs are 1010s (very few), 1242s and 1131s. Daniel Foerst

Hi Mike, We were running the 4.1.185.0 code for a while with no real issues. Once we upgraded to 4.2.130 (which was supposed to be the stable version of the code) we started having spontaneous controller reboots. The TAC diagnosed the issue as a memory leak, but we were never able to find the

Manoj, I'm so glad you mentioned it. I thought we were the only ones. We run 4.2.130 also and have the same issue. We've been working with TAC for the past two months and they still can't figure out what causes that behavior. Louisiana State University Hector Rios From: The

I have seen the radios reset. You can configure the controller to have APs to individually syslog to a desktop syslog tool like the Kiwi Syslog Daemon to verify this. Its a good way to see if anything odd is happening. We run 4.2.112. We also disabled Traffic Stream Metrics where we have a

This information may now be outdated, but I ran into a similar problem when working at the University of Iowa with version 4.1.185.0. We had many AP reboots every day. Periodically, the AP reboots would continue en masse for several hours. I disabled RRM, and the reboots stopped. There

Contrary to this thread, we are running 4.2.112 on 14 WiSM controllers without any noticeable difficulty - no memory leaks and no complaints of random disconnects. We have these divided into two roaming domains, one for general campus use and one for ResNet (they pay for their stuff out of a

We've been running a Engineering Special version of 4.2.130.0 since August and it's been stable so far. We had several problems with 4.2.185.0 including controller reboots and lockups. The general release version of 4.2.130.0 fixed all the major problems we were seeing except two and the

Bear in mind the controllers are designed to remove associations (and save resources) if there hasn't been any traffic seen from the clients. The User Idle Timeout is responsible for this behavior. You can increase this value from its default of 300s to a higher value. This will keep the
