User Guide

A. This is due to Cisco bug ID CSCsh58468 (
registered customers only
) . As of the latest
controller version 4.0.206.0, a user can enter only 31 characters. Currently, there is no
workaround for this.
Q. With the Management via Wireless feature enabled on wireless LAN
controllers (WLCs) in a mobility group, I can only access one WLC from
that mobility group, but not all. Why?
A. This is an expected behavior. When enabled, the Management via Wireless feature allows
a wireless client to reach or manage only the WLC to which its associated access point is
registered. The client cannot manage other WLCs, even though these WLCs are in same
mobility groups. This is implemented for security, and recently was tightened down to just the
one WLC in order to limit exposure.
The Cisco WLAN Solution Management over Wireless feature allows Cisco WLAN Solution
operators to monitor and configure local controllers using a wireless client. This feature is
supported for all management tasks, except uploads to and downloads from (transfers to and
from) the controller.
This feature allows wireless clients to manage only the Cisco WLC associated with the client
and the associated lightweight access point. This means that clients cannot manage another
Cisco WLC to which they are not associated.
This can be enabled through the controller CLI with the config network mgmt−via−wireless
enable command.
Q. Is it possible to assign an integrated controller in a 3750 Switch and a
4400 Wireless LAN Controller within the same mobility group?
A. Yes, it is possible to create a mobility group between a Catalyst 3750 Switch with an
integrated controller and a 4400 Controller.
Q. Are there any basic requirements to maintain when I use the mobility
anchor feature in order to configure wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) for
guest access?
A. These are the 2 basic requirements that need to be maintained when you use mobility
anchor in order to configure WLCs for guest access.
The mobility anchor of the local controller must point to the anchor controller, and
the mobility anchor of the anchor controller must point to itself.
♦
Make sure you configure the same security policy for the service set identifier (SSID)
on both the local and anchor controllers. For example, if the SSID is "guest" and you
turn on web authentication on the local controller, make sure the same SSID and
security policy is also configured on the anchor controller.

Q. What are some of the options that can be configured on a Cisco
Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to improve its interoperability?
A. The interoperability of a WLC can be improved through these options:
