Introduction In the previous page I installed the WLC 9800 VM on a Proxmox node. Now, I will configure it to make an 9120AXI AP usable. Network Configuration First of all, we will take a look at the following topology and considerations: Not ...

Introduction The goal here is to configure Proxmox to have a management interface in the VLAN 10 - MGMT network (10.0.10.0/24). The routing for this VLAN is handled by OPNsense (10.0.10.1). Proxmox Configuration I will assign the Proxmox host the 10.0.10....

Not shown is Topton miniPC with Proxmox where the WLC 9800 is hosted. TP-LINK port 2 = VLAN 20 untagged. TP-LINK port 6 = trunk (tagged). AP and wireless clients get IP from Win2k8 DHCP server hosted in Proxmox. This is the fi...

Topology Task 1: Define the Addressing Plan and Assignments Before beginning with the configuration of the devices themselves, the addressing plan must be properly defined. We will use the following subnets and VLAN numbers: MADRID OFFICE NETWORK...

TopologyTask 1: Cable the Management Server to JRI.EDGEThe Management Server will be given a fixed IP address (172.20.10.10/24) in the MADRID_MGMT VLAN. It will be physically connected to JRI.EDGE on an access port in that VLAN (210). The port on JRI.EDGE will...

Topology Task 1: JRI.WLC.01 Bootup, Factory Reset First task is to bring the JRI.WLC.01 5508 WLC up and have it factory reset. The controller bootloader (ppcboot) must be accessed by pressing Esc key during the boot process on the WLC. We are prompted to...

TopologyTask 1: Using the Controller InterfaceUsing the Controller GUIA browser-based GUI is built into each controller. It allows up to five users to simultaneously browse into the controller HTTP or HTTPS.To view the Main Dashboard, JavaScript must be enable...

Topology Task 1: CAPWAP Exploration Cisco lightweight access points use the IETF standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol (CAPWAP) to communicate with the controller and other lightweight access points on the network. CAPWAP,...

Topology Task 1: JRI.WLC.02 Bootup, Factory Reset We have already setup the JRI.WLC.01 (which will be the main WLC for this lab). Now I want to initialize and setup what will become the secondary WLC, JRI.WLC.02.  As in Lab 2-1, first task is to bring t...

Topology Task 1: Explain Link Aggregation Link aggregation (LAG) is a partial implementation of the 802.3ad port aggregation standard. It bundles all of the controller’s distribution system ports into a single 802.3ad port channel. This reduces the numbe...

Topology Task 1: The Need for Upgrading JRI.WLC.02 This page will show the upgrade process for an AireOS WLC in version 8.5. The WLC to be upgraded in the topology is the JRI.WLC.02 which we just setup in the previous lab (Lab 4-2).  To add some context...

Topology Task 1: Modifying DHCP Server Option 43 at JRI.EDGE This lab is just to verify that the four APs in the topology can successfully join the JRI.WLC.02. To accomplish this, we will temporarily modify the option 43 handed to the APs, adding the JR...

Topology Task 1: APs WLC selection Once an AP has finished the discovery process, it should have built a list of live candidate controllers. Now it must begin a separate process to select one WLC and attempt to join it. Joining a WLC involves sending it ...

Topology Task 1: Introduction to HA SSO This guide provides information on the theory of operation and configuration for the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) as it pertains to supporting stateful switchover of access points and clients (AP and...

Topology Task 1: Configuring 802.11 Support Cisco WLCs and most APs can support WLANs in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. By default, both bands are enabled; however, you can view or change a number of parameters by browsing to the Wireless tab in the c...

Topology Task 1: Information about Radio Resource Management The Radio Resource Management (RRM) software embedded in the WLC acts as a built-in RF engineer to consistently provide real-time RF management of your wireless network. RRM enables WLCs to con...

Introduction EVE-NG PRO platform is ready for today’s IT-world requirements. It allows enterprises, e-learning providers/centers, individuals and group collaborators to create virtual proof of concepts, solutions and training environments. EVE-NG PRO is the ...

Introduction EVE-NG software is available in the ISO file format. It can be used to deploy a VM in hypervisors like VMware Workstation. Please note that installing EVE as a Virtual Machine (VM) will mean any nodes deployed within EVE will be nested. Nested vi...

Introduction Internet and DNS must  reachable from your Server. The EVE-NG Pro requires internet access to get updates and validate EVE-NG Pro License key. DNS must resolve names! On EVE-NG PRO, 2 Admin users’ role-based accounts (2) can be logged into the W...
