WLC 5508 Management interface - Problem

huzaif — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 09:00:40 GMT

This is my first attempt to set-up a WLC so please bear with me...

My current set-up is as follows:-

WLC 5508 Version : - 6.0.199.4
Field Recovery Image Version:- 6.0.182.0
LAG : - Enabled ( during the initial set-up Wizard)

Port Configuration:-
Service Port : 10.10.3.100/24 (VLAN 3 )
Redundancy Port : 10.20.99.200/24(VLAN 4) currently not configured but will be eventually
Management Port : 10.30.99.100/24 (which I am assuming is also going to be used for AP registration - once I get WLC working )
Virtual Interface : - 192.168.0.1

Note: -
1. Currently VLAN identifier has been set to vlan 4 ) in the WLC config
2. Physical information tab indicates " The interface is attached to a LAG"

Out of the 8 SFP's I have only got 4 SFP inserted in the WLC. Out of which currently only two ports are patched to the switch to form the LAG. ( Port 1 + 2 are up and running )

Switch config:-
--------------------
For the LAG ports the Switch is configured as mode on + Trunk port and allowed all vlans. ( Ether Channel id = 1 ) ( UP for two members )
Native VLAN : - 100

My current Challenge
---------------------
1. Service port works fine
2. I cannot get connect to the Mgmt ip above i.e. "cannot ping it "?
3. I have tried with and without the VLAN identifier tab i.e as value 0 / 4 and it does not work ?

Once I get this working I would like to get my IOS upgraded before I proceed further but I am stuck here any help will be much appreciated.

cheers

Just trying to think out loud not sure if this is possible ..

I disable LAG and select port 1 for mgmt traffic only.

Enable LAG on the rest of the ports i.e. 2 - 8 ?

I did not get that option during the wizard so makes me believe this is not supported / possible.

I have now reset the WLC and ran the initial config wizard and decided not to use LAG

interface GigabitEthernet 2/0/23

description *** connected to WLC ***

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree port-fast trunk

now I can ping the mgmt ip add from the switch. 🙂

However now I am thinking what do I do with the LAG config to get it all working ?

I will now try to get LAG configured and test once again..

It is interesting that now it

It is interesting that now it all works with the same config on the switch and WLC.....

I did reboot it initially when I had the problem and now as I used the wizard initially and it reboots part of that ...and I did not use the wizard the second time around the only difference in the process....

I think the first thing I should do is get the IOS and FUS upgraded 🙂
