Just f.y.i. This is somewhat unrelated, but beware upgrading your SUP's to 12.2(33)SXH. There is a bug when running QoS on the Sup with a WiSM in the box. Only 1 out of the 4 virtual interfaces going to each controller on the WiSM will function. We found this out the hard way, it is not in the IOS release notes.
Cisco has confirmed the bug (CSCsk43058, under review), and the workaround is to disable QoS and then re-enable. A fix will be included in SXH1 which is not out yet. --Joe -----Original Message----- From: Lee H Badman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 3:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WiSM Interface Problem/Question 4.0207.0, and no extra VLANs. Again, Cisco is saying that is normal:( for this version. Lee H.

Also, make sure you are prunning unwanted vlans in the gig and port-channel interfaces. -Hector -----Original Message----- From: Lee H Badman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 2:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WiSM Interface Problem/Question I'm told that the dynamic interfaces, despite having IP addresses, aren't reliably pingable. They can "drop off" from ping (as I'm seeing) and to test whether it's really down, you have to ping an attached client (I'm not making this up). I'm also told that starting with 4.1.185.0, these interfaces can be considered trustworthy for ping-monitoring. Lee H.
