vWLC - New Setup - Clients getting APIPA Address

someciscolearner — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 18:39:39 GMT

I am currently migrating from a physical 4400 WLC to a vWLC hosted on hyper-v. I have so far replicated the settings from the old controller including interfaces etc

In this instance, the vWLC is hosted in the main office of the company, with an onsite Windows network. I have an AP joined and set up a test WLAN I have added the RADIUS server etc and can see that it auths on NPS. But the client (my phone in this instance) is getting an APIPA address.

Whilst setting up I noted that no WLANs were getting broadcast and after a bit of digging read that I needed to set my AP to be in FlexConnect mode. I continued reading/YouTubing etc and now have the VLAN Support enabled on the AP with some VLAN mappings set.

Still getting an APIPA address.

As per my username, I am learning Cisco at present so please have some patience.

I could do with getting this working in the main office in the first instance then knowing what is needed to get this working in our remote offices also with their own networks (win domain is the same.)

EDIT: I have just read on another post that I should 'configure the WLAN-VLAN mappings on the FlexConnect Group. Not the interface setting on the WLANs', i have the WLAN-VLAN mappings set correctly, but what do I interface setting to on the WLAN?

THANKS

Don't forget that your switchport with the AP must also be reconfigured. You now require a trunk-port to the AP which carries all client VLANs and has the ap-manager vlan set as native VLAN.

Another thing to note, I think the vWLC requires the ports to be in promiscuous mode on the ESX.

At present our switch ports are configured with dot1x security for corp, guest, voip etc
is this compatible
